Background: Noland was recognized as a prodigy ever since his first battle in elementary school. Wanting to walk in his father's footsteps, he used his power for the greater good of the people by uniting them for the greater interest in Bakugan brawling. He was a leader of his community along with Allen Silva, a close friend of his, and Alana Cortese, who would later be a potential love interest. Eventually, those bonds were tested in his fight against the Terrorists, who were criminals who mutilated the bodies of innocent civilians who refused to submit to them. Noland was victorious in this battle and faced a greater threat down the road: an alien race who commanded a powerful dark dragon. Noland was able to neutralize this threat, but ultimately lost his father and girlfriend in what would come to be known as the second 9/11.

Noland decided to inherit his father's guardian Bakugan to replace his former after the latter sacrificed himself in favor of the dragon. His personality went from a kind, loving spirit to a cold, emotionless attitude. He personally blames the Bakugan for what he lost. He is incredibly distant from the Bakugan community and wishes that the Bakugan were never in their possession following the tragic events, but he doesn't have a problem using them to prevent anyone from suffering like he has.

Physical Appearance:
Background: It was déjà vu for Noland in his upcoming sophomore year. He played a huge role in vanquishing villainy once more while acquiring a new title in the process. Just like last time, it became a curse. The critical acclaim behind his history earned himself a host of new eyes looking down on him, casting shade his way wherever he goes; it was worth noting that this time around, those eyes weren't his, but the eyes of those he protected alongside the others. There were only a few bad apples that made every attempt to discredit their work as juveniles rebelling against authority, but even their slander never moved mountains. As long as it didn't bring any negative impacts on himself or any Resistor, the best reaction they got from Noland was pity as they were only wasting their time.

Aside from that scandal, Noland was particularly lazy during the summer months for someone who was supposed to be a champion. He rested his newly acquired BrawlX - courtesy of Raven Atlas - while recuperating from the mental devastation he suffered during the national championships. He did keep himself busy by occasionally stopping by the school to check on the state of the brawlers there as he was now the de-facto leader of them all. He also made several attempts to reconstruct his relationship with Alana, but he couldn't avoid having eerie reminders of what occurred each time he saw her face. It wasn't easy, but Noland had to grow up a lot in a short time span of three months to become more mature and understanding of what works and what doesn't work both in his social and brawling life. Even if that meant cutting Allen off whenever she was around, he was going to do whatever it took to keep his sanity as that was one of the only things he had left from the fight.

Noland eagerly awaits the day where he can give the Dharaknoid what it deserves for every atrocity committed. For now, he acknowledges that the opportunity will present itself to whoever is ready, truly wanting to be that someone. He keeps his supposed late father in mind as he continues with his life, not knowing what misfortune awaits them all in the near future.
