Personality
Nova's personality is usually described as harsh, and cold. She rarely opens up to anybody, but is quite empathetic upon doing so. She prefers to solve her problems through violence, often to her own detriment. She is very defiant, and almost never gives up. Nova is also a perfect sociopath, claiming to enjoy killing and doesn't care for inflicting pain.

Appearance
Nova is a tall beast, estimated to be around 14 ft. She rarely, if ever, exposes her actual skin. She has 2 large horns on the sides of her head, and also has 4 arms.

Armor
Nova wears a slim, yet strong suit of armor. It is resistant to most guns, although by no means immune. Explosives and shotguns have proven very effective, while heat in general has a weak effect. While the armor does not use electricity, it is vulnerable to an EMP. For unknown reasons, she replaced her lower set of arms with a mechanical set. She also built a mechanical tail terminating in three 'claws' which can be used to grab and throw things. On the underside, near the end of the tail is a small syringe that acts as a stinger.

Family
Nova's family is an odd one. Nova herself has been alive for around 10,000 years, while Orion's age is unknown.


 * Orion (father)
 * Janus (former consort)
 * Acrium1
 * Abaddon (son)
 * Apollyon (daughter)
 * Astaroth (daughter)
 * Remor (uncle)

1Acrium is not biologically related to Nova, but the two have grown extremely close over time.

Background
Not much is known about Nova's past. She has disclosed very little information on it, which is believed by many to be a lie. From what has been told, most people think she was a servant of Akiro or an assassin. Janus and Acrium have been interviewed by high ranking military members, and told them about her past. It is generally inferred that Nova killed her mother (Akiro) after being freed by an unknown warrior.

When questioned about her past, Nova often responds by threatening the person. It is currently unknown why she does not talk about her background. Conspiracy theories say she is a shade, a trick of the mind. This was confirmed to be false by Nova herself while fighting a platoon of soldiers.

As for her relations with other beings, she has been seen helping Knowingleveldoccod and often quarrels with Keria. She also seems to deeply enjoy being around Araxinus.

Biology/Behavior
Nova is generally cordial and cooperative, although cold and harsh at times. When sufficiently agitated, she will attempt to kill most people around her. When in this state, she will not respond to reason nor moral ambiguity. Nova seems to have an affinity towards children, and seeming to like entertaining them. It is unknown why she has a general disliking towards adults.

During combat, Nova prefers to stalk her prey. She will often click her teeth together as a form of echolocation in dark areas. It is often for her to sting an enemy, injecting a slow acting venom. It consists mainly of opioids, causing a multitude of symptoms. It is able to be replicated, but it's much easier said than done. Symptoms usually start with a sharp, burning pain. It will eventually fade, and the veins around the wound will often start to necrose. Once at this stage, the person will become aggressive and erratic. The effects subside after a couple hours.
