BIOGRAPHY
trigger warning: injury, war, death, substance abuse.
Noah was born on a rainy evening, welcomed by the loving arms of his parents: Nicholas and Marie Sinclair. The pair had been married for a mere month when they welcomed their son who at a later stage would end up with three more siblings.
Noah's childhood was great, for as long as it lasted. Growing up in Boston, he always had something to do with his time. He was a choir kid until the age of fifteen, dropping out for reasons unknown but never stopped going to church on Sundays. Noah also played baseball since junior high and started basketball after dropping out of the choir. It was through the sport teams that he grew closer with Connor Bowen, who was quickly to become his best friend.
Through his school years, he had always been seen as one of the brighter, if not the brightest student. Straight A's and following an advanced biology and science program. His photographic memory definitely helped upkeeping his high grades, holding onto knowledge the way he read them from a page or heard through a lecture for a longer amount of time. Noah had always shown interest in becoming a doctor or a surgeon and had his life plan mapped out for the most of his school years. He was going to go to Stanford and get a scholarship to do it through baseball. Noah had to grow up quickly however when his baby brother Johnny got sick. He always had been, then it would go better and then they'd be at square one ago. But this one time it felt different. His parents were away more often with Johnny, often times where his father would come back without his mother and Johnny, stay the night and return with a bag of fresh clothing.
It came to Noah to run the household. Making sure the chores were done and Haven and Jasper were taken care of. None of them objected, none of them complained. Noah made sure his siblings got to go to their friends and have fun, as long as they checked in with him ever so often so he'd know she was okay. He stayed home for them, sacrificing his time going to practice and upkeeping friendships whenever his parents weren't home. His grades weren't affected, thanks to his condition, but he was often found falling asleep during class which got him sent to the principal. He was too tired to be at the top of his game with baseball or basketball and the scholar ship was a dream at that point. He was seventeen when Johnny passed and everything changed. He eventually dropped out of the basketball team and later the baseball team as well.
His parents were surprised when Noah announced he wasn't going to apply for universities and after a sit down with the both of them, as they had been concerned their absence and the medical bills had led him to the decision, he reassured them that it was not. He had simply been inspired by his best friend's father to enlist for the U.S. marines instead and felt like it was the best path for him.
And it was. It opened up a whole new world for him where he felt like he belonged. He enlisted with Connor, yet stayed even when Connor left. With his analytic capabilities and his 'Alpha behaviour' as his T.O. would call it, he was recruited for the GEOINT program for the U.S. Army, which he grabbed with both hands. Analyzing enemy movements and being involved in secret ops piqued his attention, keeping him from boredom. During his first tour, he'd received news that his father had passed away from a heart attack, which Noah hadn't been able to attend as he was not granted a departure from his mission. Yet when a few months later, his mother too passed away from substance abuse, he urged the necessity to go home and make sure his siblings, who were still in high school, were okay and taken care of, as well as arranging everything that his parents left behind. Boston felt strange after that. He shared his grief with his siblings, managing to arrange they could stay with an aunt and uncle that had lived close-by to their parental home. Once everything was arranged financially for his parents, his mother's funeral and selling of the house and making sure everything they had left in cash was divided between all remaining siblings (which Jasper and Haven could access once they were eighteen). Unfortunately, he had to return again to active service, but was allowed to do it in Washington rather than overseas so he could travel home when he could.
When his siblings were older and ready for college, he relocated to New York where he made time to forge friendships, maintain relationships, out of one that eventually led him to Tessa. She too was employed by the U.S. Army and the two were often called the 'brains and the brawn'. From the moment they met, there had been an indescribable tension between them, a passionate tension. Noah normally never was like this in relationships, especially since it had barely been a year since the break up of his last serious relationship but he found himself marrying her at a wedding chapel in Vegas. That's when the problems began. As passionate as their love was, as intense their fights were. Little things became explosive and communication became more difficult.
When Noah received the call from his sister that their brother had gone missing, he was left with a choice. He either would help her from a distance with their missing brother and her baby's due date getting close, or he would leave New York and his marriage behind and leave for Kismet Harbor to take care of his sister and future nephew while searching for his brother. Regardless of the choice, he told Tessa he had to get over there so that his sister wouldn't spiral, which created another big fight. It had been the final push for him to pack his bags and take the plane to Kismet Harbor. For the upcoming months, he dealt with a divorce with his wife, helping his sister take care of her newborn son as well as search for Jasper. When they finally did find Jasper, it was clear that he, just like their mother, had fallen on the path of substance abuse, having been able to track him down through withdrawing money from the account Noah had set up for his part of the inheritance. The two had basically been told to back off and leave him alone, leaving a rift between the siblings.
Noah stayed in Kismet Harbor, even after his divorce had been finalised and his nephew had his first birthday. Unrest had spread through their small family when Jasper returned, having emptied out his inheritance and asking his siblings for money. Noah, ever the oldest of the three, took it upon himself to convince Jasper to go to rehab and salvage whatever was left between him and his siblings, specifically with Haven, who had been hurt by his actions. He succeeded, and has spent the next few years trying to mediate between them.
In 2019, his life had nearly ended when Noah got injured while on a convoy , traveling to another base, losing all but two of his fellow squad members, nearly having lost his own as he coded a total amount of three times in between when it happened and when he received treatment in the USA. He'd lost a whole week while in a medically induced coma, and spent a whole week after said coma where Noah wasn't able to see. He was preparing himself to a life where he would be blind, yet luckily, once the swelling from the trauma had gone down enough, he regained his sight. After a whole month, he was released and brought back home to Kismet Harbor.
The accident gave Noah a reality check, taking his time to decide whether he wanted to continue his job or if he wanted to follow the path that his best friend had followed. He became enamoured with the ideals of firefighters and of the stories that they told him that he decided to leave the service of the military and join the fire academy. He's still plagued by his past, which hasn't helped in shaping lasting relationships, but with enough therapy and spending time with his family, he grew to be the rock the family required once more, giving him the capability to grow a lasting relationship. A year after the start of his rehabilitation he got reintroduced to Constance, Connor's sister, who was finishing up her residency at psychiatry before switching to medicine. They met again after a check up for his head post his injuries, also required for his firefighting admission and Noah risked being daring at a professional work place by asking if she wanted to go get a drink, knowing that he might not earn any points with his best friend but also knowing that he got nervous whenever he was around her. The rest was history.
Within six months, the two had moved in together at Noah's house, living together like a domestic family. As not to repeat his past mistake with Tessa, he wasn't thinking about proposing anytime soon, not even when the two ended up pregnant. They were over the moon, thrilled about the idea of having their baby girl join them. The moment Ines was born, Noah felt a changed man just like Constance felt different, but not for the same reasons. She took the change of scenery hard, not able to cope with the restless nights, couldn't stand the crying and didn't want to hold her daughter. When she suggested going to her parents in Savannah to recover, Noah was conflicted, as Ines needed her mother in this fragile state. But with Constance telling him he had no choice in the matter, he let her go without complaint, not knowing that Constance would never return. With a single text message she let him know that she couldn't be a mother and that she wouldn't return to Kismet Harbor and not to reach out to her. After it was clear his number was blocked by her, he had it settled by the courts, who granted him full custody. At least Ines had an aunt and uncle twice fold that doted on her.
Now, after Ines's first birthday, Noah built his own village, helping him take care of his little girl when he had to go to work. Now as a firefighter working twenty-four hour shifts, he has more time with her than when he was in the army. He always made it known that he aspired to rise through the ranks, despite joining in his late thirties. Though being able to be quite formal and to the point while at work, it helps that the other firefighters took to him fast, understanding that his military past was something he couldn't shake. Outside of work, he allowed himself to grow, even reconnecting with his ex, Giovanna, on a romantic level and the two of them daring to try once more, which, month after month, felt like the right choice. Even the higher ups at the fire department took note of his capabilities, his photographic memory and high IQ a useful tool to remember details and make a case. After much encouraging from his batallion chief, he agreed to take the training to become a fire inspector, giving him extra duties during the job. Following weeks of intense training and successfully handling his exams, he now holds an extra job title to his name.
