CHARACTER NAME:
November ‘Nova’ Black
RACE:
Human
CLASS:
Demon Weapon
ADVANCED CLASS:
N/A
AGE:
15
GENDER:
Female
APPEARANCE:
To start off with, Nova isn’t the tallest girl in the world. Standing at around 5 foot 4, the girl isn’t much off a midget according to herself. Being below the average height is somewhat of a problem to her. It would be a lie if she said she didn’t want to be taller, even if just a little bit, however, she has to live with it because she isn’t getting taller anytime soon. Despite her longing to be taller, she’s fine with how much she weights, somewhere around 52 kg (114 lbs). In fact, she’s a very light build, while she lacks in upper body strength, her legs are where her power is at. This is probably because Nova may as well own a swimming pool. The girl was born for the water and has become an extremely strong swimmer. A second reason may be due to having to run up and down Shibusens ridiculously large front staircase every weekday. Nova can’t punch very well but you really wouldn’t want her to kick you.
The Demon Weapon isn’t the most curved woman to have ever walked the earth, either. Having an ‘average’ D-cup, she really is nothing special. The only striking features are probably her bright, electric blue eyes. Although, they do her no good if she wants lie, because her eyes give a lot away. Although, she’s never been a huge liar anyway. Her face is softly curved, framed with short cut, raven-black hair that can take on a slightly dark-blue hue in the right light. Usually spiked up with enough hair-spray to choke a small country, she normally does nothing else with it unless there’s some kind of special occasion. That’s not to say she doesn’t take care of it, but she won’t break down and cry if it doesn’t co-operate with her. The same goes with makeup, it isn’t a big deal to her, but if she feels like it she may use the odd bit of eye-liner and such, something that doesn’t consume too much of her time, anyway.
Nova doesn’t dress this way or that. If she see’s something she likes, she’ll wear it, regardless of what it is. Fashion isn’t big to her; she just wears whatever she finds. Normally taking on jeans and some kind of simple shirt, casual would probably be a good way to describe her fashion sense. She’s not a fan of dresses or skirts, and tries to stay away from them unless it’s some kind of formal event. Amongst her random dress sense, however, there is one thing she adores and will almost never be seen without. Converses. Knee-High or Normal, she probably has most of them as long as it isn’t bright pink. Ruin them, and she will end you. Simple as that. Another thing she adorns above all (even her converses) is a small golden locket her mother gave to her when she moved into the Shibusen Students Residence. Made out of 18 caret gold, the trinket plays a small and slightly eerie tune when its opened. Three pictures lay inside, with one more space yet to fill…

Double Piece Chakram

NOVA PROSPEKT~ Machinae Supremacy
[/center]ABILITIES:
ABILITY NAME:
Partial Transformation
TYPE:
Active
STRENGTH:
Average
KEYWORDS:
Melee, arms, bladed
DESCRIPTION:
Nova has the ability to produce one half of the Chakram Blade on either of her forearms. While this can be useful while fighting other students of equally matched opponents, its no good for providing damaging attacks to Kishins, it might be enough to block for a while, but any lasting damage cannot be inflicted on a Kishin by herself alone. It also doesn't help that she isn't a strong upper-body fighter.- - -
ABILITY NAME:
Goddess Blade
TYPE:
Active
STRENGTH:
Resonance
KEYWORDS:
Ranged, Melee, Soul, Bladed, Guided, Accuracy, Thrown
DESCRIPTION:
The chakram holds a very important place in the culture of India. Not only do legends of chakram-throwing Sikh warriors abound, but it is also the weapon of ultimate power wielded by the supreme Hindu god Vishnu, the means by which the heavens are kept in balance and the enemies of the world are destroyed.
The form Nova assumes during the Goddess Blade Soul Resonance is somewhat of a reflection of these legends. Each half of the chakram's circle-blade grows steely "thorns", the largest of which entwine together before flaring apart, granting them markedly more effective in melee combat for both offense and defense. This makes the Goddess Blade Resonance form useful as an equalizer for close combat... but where the transformation's power truly shines is when the chakram is thrown.
The Goddess Blade Resonance form, while temporary, grants Theron and Nova a strong connection through which their soul wavelengths can flow -- even when not in physical contact with each other. Once their souls have resonated the Demon Chakram's edges will begin to glow with a faint light; if thrown right away, Goddess Blade kicks into full gear. With their resonating wavelengths empowering her Nova's weapon form gains the ability to fly freely, moving through the air at will -- even if separated -- and forcing enemies she engages to fight a foe without a flesh-and-blood body to strike back at. While using the power of Goddess Blade all of Nova's attacks are extremely swift and accurate; this Resonance comes nowhere near Witch Hunter in terms of raw destructive power, but it does make it possible to strike an opponent's weak points almost without fail.
A thrown Goddess Blade attack has a serious downside, however: while Nova's weapon form gains the ability to move about freely, Theron cannot. For the duration of the technique the Meister must stay rooted in place, focusing hard on maintaining the Resonance and empowering Nova with his soul. Simply moving, whether to dodge or attack, is enough to break the tenuous but potent connection. This leaves the young d'Metreon highly exposed, relying on Nova's skill and genius to either tie up the enemy or get in the necessary hits quickly.
Whether in melee or ranged form, Goddess Blade can only be used for three posts (Theron and Nova each get three) at a time before a requisite cool-down of five posts (or ten minutes in-story, whichever takes longer). It has a maximum of three uses per Mission due to the strain it places on Theron's soul.
STRENGTHS:
Improved melee (OR) self-guided high accuracy thrown attack.
WEAKNESSES:
Not as outright powerful as most Resonance-level attacks. Three posts per use limit with five post cool-down; three uses per Mission limit. For ranged attack, Theron becomes vulnerable stationary target

EQUIPMENT:
EQUIPMENT NAME:
Taijitu Earrings
TYPE:
Item
STRENGTH:
Weak/Average
DESCRIPTION:
Supposed to have been crafted by Chinese monks meditating on the eternal balance of yin and yang (at least, that's what the seller claimed), these earrings are supposed to be able to grant a calming focus of spirit and serenity of soul to the wearer (another claim by the seller). Whatever the veracity of these statements, those with well-refined Soul Perception can notice something curious about the earrings; in addition to the silver and gold, there seems to be a third material running thread-like through the entire design, something that reacts ever so slightly to certain particular Soul Wavelengths.
And for whatever reason, be it wavelength or some kind of connection with her weapon form's design, the Taijitu Earrings synchronize perfectly with November Black.
While wearing these, Nova's soul gains a minor resilience against the psychic influence of Insanity Wavelengths, buffering her against terrifying visions and twisting of her thoughts by Kishin Eggs. The effect isn't total protection, merely a heightened ability to shrug off or fight through exposure to madness, insanity, and mental hallucinations. The earrings provide no direct protection against attacks that use Insanity Wavelengths in a non-psychic manner (IE: don't directly attack the mind). Interestingly, were a Kishin Egg to attempt to remove the Taijitu Earrings they would find them white-hot to the touch.
The effects of the Taijitu Earrings remain when Nova takes on her weapon form.
STRENGTHS:
Improves Nova's mental fortitude; safeguards her mind against hallucinations and terror. Kishin Eggs touching the earrings (while Nova's wearing them) take minor damage.
WEAKNESSES:
No direct protection against non-psychic madness / insanity attacks. Strong enough attacks on her mind can still break through and/or weaken her.

MINIONS:
MINION NAME;
The NightTerror
GROUP?;
No
RANK;
C Class
DESCRIPTION;
When Nova was young, too young for her to clearly remember, Ashura broke free from his keep under Shibusen. At that age Nova wasn’t partially brave, and having had to live around the destruction and madness involved during his escape, Nova’s soul got corrupted with madness, inducing reoccurring Nightmares, even to this day. People thought they were Night terrors, especially at her age. As Nova grew up she believed that to. During her life, living in Shibusen has constantly opened her up to madness, frequently causing that blip of Madness in her soul to grow stronger. Over the years, her Nightmares only ever got worse. It would have never grown enough to cause a drastic effect if that had stayed the same.
However, then she partnered with Theron. That wouldn’t have caused too much of a problem either, until the pair managed to perform a Resonance for the first time. The madness in her soul, with enough of a mind to want to grow, fed directly from the evil in his own soul. Every time the pair perfected their Resonance and used it in battle, the Madness began to take a form outside of Nova’s dreams.
This is where this ability comes from. The demon, for now, relies on Nova’s command to enter the real work, if only for now, as an ethereal spirit, and can only be used after a Soul Resonance, also ‘for now’. The demon stands at 10ft tall, broad shoulders and a low set head, crowed with horns. Its eyes are slit-light and sharp, its mouth harbour rows of teeth, and extends off in a twisted Glasgow-type smile. The demon doesn’t tend to move very fast, lumbering along on strong, but shorter, legs. Its arms hang out of proportion, about 3/4ths of its body, it’s hands and fleet clawed, a broad and long tail sweeps out behinds it, also adorned with horns. As it is a wholly soul-like demon, it is transparent and blue-hued for now.
The demon itself can only be outside of Nova’s soul for 5 posts, before having to retreat (for the time being). Nova cannot move more than 10 feet away from the demon when in use, and vice versa, due to them mostly being of the same soul. Nova must be in human form to call the demon. This will never change.
ABILITES AND EQUIPMENT;
ABILTIY NAME;
Blue Inferno
PASSIVE/ACTIVE;
Active
STENGTH;
Average
DESCRIPTION;
A soul flame, it can also be referred to as. Because Night Terror isn’t a completely flesh-and-bone being, but rather, a soul like creature, it cannot produce real flames. Instead of breathing a fire that burns, it wields a fire that drains the soul. Unlike most fires, the blue soul flames cannot spread or catch light to anything other than the area it was aimed at, unless it has a soul. The blue flames tend to attach to a being with a soul should it leave the area of the flame, if only for a short time (2 posts). During this time, the flames can drain the energy from a soul, but instead of giving it to Nova, it gives it to itself, unknowingly to Nova. The strength drained has no immediate effect on the power of the demon. After around 5 posts, the flame is extinguished, or vanishes when Nova calls back the demon, and it disappears.
ABILTIY NAME;
Tremble
PASSIVE/ACTIVE;
Passive
STENGTH;
Weak
DESCRIPTION;
A smaller ability, looking into the eyes of the demon can and will cause a slight faintness and/or dizziness. Generally disorienting, the only person/thing who can look the demon in the eye without feeling the need to throw up is Nova. The ability does not vary from anyone, but the more stubborn would pass it off in a fleeting moment. Keeping prolonged eye contract may cause headaches of an extreme nature. This only works if direct eye-contract is made, though it is never out of effect, and the moment you look away the symptoms leave.

PERSONALITY:
Compared to most Shibusen Students, Nova is pretty much normal. She's not anything that would make her stand out, she's not even your depiction of the normal teenager. Nova remains casual and laid-back most of the time with a slight energetic spark. Sarcasm is her humour and seems to come naturally, but often comes across as quite dry, getting her into more trouble then its worth. Nova doesn't take a lot seriously, school comes under that. Almost never paying attention in class, she spends most of the time doodling in her black, leather-bound book and listening to music (if she can get away with it), sat at the back of the class, or as far back as she can go. Studying is pretty much non-existent but she retains good enough marks to keep her floating in the mediocre zone as far as students go. She's no Maka Albarn, but she's no Black Star either.
Passed her Sarcasm and lackadaisical attitude, Nova is actually very approachable, and isn't the least bit anti-social. She likes to talk to people, and likes meeting new people, whether their crazy or not. Nova isn't very discriminating, and is hugely accepting to pretty much all races of life. However, she can't stand people who do not give her the respect she'd give them, and are more up themselves then they should legally be. There are more of these people then one would expect. She also has something of a short temper. Annoying or pissing off Nova is something best avoid for the sake of peoples sanity alone. Big into Melodrama, she tends to over react to a lot of things and flip out, but its not all that hard to bring her back down again, it depends how you handle the short fuse on the raven-haired weapon.
A big part of Nova would be her art. Probably more advanced then most students her age, Nova excels in traditional arts, finding herself almost perfectly at ease in front of a canvas with a brush and pallet of paints. The girl even went out of her way to create a small Studio for her art in her Apartment, of which no one but herself enters. The door to the studio has around four different locks, with four different keys. 3 are placed randomly around the house, while one can be found in one of her bags. Whatever master-pieces lay inside, are a mystery. To say she had an 'Artistic Disposition' you be almost spot on.
Due to her short temper, Nova does have an aggressive side. Probably gained from her other family members, Nova doesn't mind laying into things, as long as they deserve what's coming. Being aggressive could be the result of many things. Staying up too late, generally not being in the best mood and Missions seem to stur up her aggression also. In a foul mood she'll drag her feet and complain, being generally annoying. But when you partner up with a female, you have to be able to deal with the mood swings from time to time.
Nova is extremely loyal as a weapon, prepared to go out of harms way to protect, and die for, her Meister, she stands by her morals. Morals learnt from her family linage of Weapons and Meisters, who have been attending Shibusen for a good few Generations. Sometimes though, during Missions she gets a little selfish. Becoming a Death Scythe is a serious business, and without those souls she's not getting there! She can often burst into rants and raves if she's stressed or worried. Equally so, she could go dead silent if something is bothering her. Most of the time however, she takes on a happy, relaxed and calm(ish) demeanour.
HISTORY:
November has had a pretty normally life, fairly straight forward, unlike the dramatic situations most Students find themselves in. And at times it has seemed too boring for the young weapon, Living and growing up in Death City isn’t such a big deal. She's had her good times and her bad times though.
She was born on the 5th of November, to her Mother, Gale Black, and Father, September Black. As you can tell, she got her name from her father and her birth month, it seems to be somewhat of a family thing. Her father ran a small stall selling jewellery that her mum would make at home most of the day when she wasn’t tending to choirs or baby November. This establishment grew hugely within a few years, and has turned into a high-end shop. From an early age, November loved to draw, more than anything else, and from her room she could see the Academy which was normally the centre of her artistic focus. By the time she was five she was already dreaming big, wanting to be one of Shibusen’s great Death Scythes and of course her mother and father, like most of the parents of Death City, were prepared to guide her to her one and only dream.
She once was a girl who studied hard, reading books and learning all she could. Once upon a time she would race though science and math’s, almost as much as art, but as she got older, the less she studied. The interest in these subjects faded and her families genetic creative disposition shone through. Her Art never stopped, and nor did her dream of being a Death Scythe, a typical dream for most children in the city, yet not a far-fetched one. Although she was hardly strong enough to fight by herself, it didn’t seem to faze her. A childish naivety believed anything was possible.
Nova, despite being so young, can still remember when Arachne hit the scene around Shibusen, along with the Kishin Ashura and Medusa. It all seemed to just unfold before her eyes, examples of prided Students fought their battles and won. Unlike her, who was yet to show her worth and grit determination. Eventually Arachne was defeated by her own sister, Medusa, but that did not stop the Kishin, or the fight between the sides. November feared that the rise would have been too great for the school, but the formation of the Spartoi strengthened Shibusens hold in the battle. A few years had passed, and Ashura was defeated when she was 10. Although the Kishin threat had been quelled, Nova joined the school 2 years later. She'd hoped to contribute her hand to further calming the Kishins.
At the age of 12 her teenage side started so show and she got more laid back and developed a sense of humour. A very dry one at that. She became more talkative and her studying dropped all together, she became immersed in Music and Art more than ever, exceling in her arts further. She left home to live in the Shibusen’s Student housing, taking a small golden locket, made by her Mother. Her dream was getting closer. Still, that didn’t mean it was going to get any easier.
Finding a partner proved harder then she had first thought, and while most of her grade and partnered and where out helping to fight the constant Kishin Threat, Nova stayed locked within Death City’s wall. Nova wasn't anything out of the ordinary, perfectly normally for someone her age. It didn't seem to work in her favour. Unable to help or be of assistance, two years passed while she trod through school life, barely existing, slipping off the radar, going silently unnoticed.
Not too far into the new school year, while half asleep in the grass at the park, the drones of Stereophonics blasting behind her headphones, Nova met a charming young man called Theron d'Metreon with the help of his, equally as charming, cat by the name of Schrodinger. It had taken almost no time at all for the foreign student to ask a partnership, and Nova wasn’t quite sure why he’d decided to jump so quickly into it. Still, she’d had many failed partnerships that hadn’t gone beyond the asking point, so she wasn’t going to question it. The pair quickly got themselves acquainted, despite not having much in common at all, and a friendship followed quickly after that. During that time Nova grew stronger, knowing that there was someone who saw her for what she could do, if given the time. A couple of weeks of ‘bonding’ and the newly formed Team completed their first Mission out in Fall River, encountering a back-from-the-grave-and-slightly-pissed-off Lizzie Borden. That first success drew the pair closer, showing the promises of a lasting partnership. It also ruined a pair of Converses.
What lies ahead is all but a mystery, but nevertheless, she’s never been happier. And it can’t possibly be worse than that Christmas when Theron was finally introduced to her family. And Uncle Jack.
MORE INFO:
-Some people might think her Chakram form is the normal size, which is quite small, but, in fact, her form is bigger then a normal Chakram, at about 12" in diameter, or, the size of a snare drum.
-She wears a gold locket all the time. It was a present from her parents before she moved out.
-She has a purple Ipod Touch and Apple Mac Laptop, both seem to go everywhere with her.
-Suffers from Nightmares/Night-terrors, has done since childhood.
-As well as being a customer at Deathbucks, she also works there. The people she serves are rude, the hours are lousy, and the pay isn't the best. But Hell, the staff discount it TOTALLY worth it! Although, her Uniform (bar the headset) doesn't hide the fact she is 'endowed'. Oh and the hat. DON'T GET HER STARTED ON THE HAT.
