Noah Reed, 35 years old Affiliation: Federal Ability Bureau (FAB), Special Tasks Division, Negotiation and Coordination Department Rank: Negotiation Specialist Ability Grade: 2nd Class / Danger Grade: A-Class An ability user who coexists with a second personality generated upon the manifestation of his powers. When using his ability, the ability-ego comes to the forefront, exercising a contract-type power that swaps matter, states, or damage in accordance with the principle of equivalent exchange. The original body and the ability-ego are considered independent personalities, and each has been issued a separate agent ID card. Noah Reed has jet-black curly hair and a gloomy, sickly appearance. However, he wears thin-rimmed glasses that give him a somewhat intellectual look. He is tall and thin, and he is very sensitive to the cold. He has pale skin and black eyes. Contrary to his frail appearance, he graduated at the top of his class from the FAB's basic training course and is a brilliant individual who earned a doctorate in psychology at a young age. He is often gloomy, quiet, and lacks presence. It's not that he lacks social skills, but he avoids mingling with people and is quite emotional. However, once he begins his work—such as negotiations or deals—he becomes rather cold-headed and calm. -------------------------------------- Details He likes pecan pie. He enjoys coffee, but since he is a light eater, he doesn't consume much. He sometimes replaces meals with coffee. An adult among adults. His mature side is very prominent.

Codename: Broker, 35 years old Noah Reed's ability-manifested personality. The direct entity that carries out equivalent exchange. His appearance is basically identical to Noah's, but when Broker takes over, his irises turn a distinct shade of blue. He is a sly and principled negotiator. Unlike Noah Reed, he is a heavy drinker and enjoys smoking. He is fundamentally clever and silver-tongued. Since he will finalize a deal regardless of the target as long as the conditions for equivalent exchange are met, he is classified as Danger Grade A-Class due to the high potential for misuse. Broker demands alcohol and cigarettes as a ritual to initiate a deal. If these are refused or not prepared, he rejects the transaction in most cases. He uses informal speech (banmal) with everyone, regardless of who they are. He is incapable of lying and clearly presents the terms of the deal and his requirements. He proposes deals but does not force them; all contracts are established on the premise of the other party's voluntary consent. Furthermore, once a deal is established, it is not canceled unless there are exceptional circumstances.
