The prince heir of the kingdom of Lucis, Noctis (or Noct to his friends) resents royal customs and prefers to live by his own rules. After a fateful incident in his childhood, he gained an ability to sense a person’s impending death. Though he has a tendency to display a cocky demeanor, he is deeply loyal to his friends.
Noctis has access to various weapons in combat such as swords, greatswords, spears, daggers, firearms, and machinery. His weapon of choice however is the Engine Blade. He is able to materialize these weapons at will, to wield them physically or through telekinesis.
Being the prince of Lucis also allows him to use what they call the Royal Arms. These are weapons that were used by the kings of the past and can help Noctis along in his journey. However, the weapons come with a price: each time he uses it, it whittles down his HP.
