[hider=NOVA] [b]Name:[/b] Nova Blake [b]Age:[/b] 20 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [hider=Appearance:][img]http://i61.tinypic.com/2z5n1nc.png[/img][/hider] [b]Personality:[/b] Brimming with attitude, Nova will almost always have a witty remark. She takes great pride in herself and her abilities as a hunter and is quick to attack anyone who tries to discredit her. Nova is a confident person, unafraid to speak her mind, however she can be surprisingly humble and quiet. Above all else, though, Nova is a loyal companion. When deciding to travel with anyone she considers her comrades' lives as precious as her own, and will risk severe injury in order to help them. [b]Deity:[/b] Tuman [b]Loyalty:[/b] Avid worshiper. True love and respect for her chosen Deity. [b]Weapon:[/b] Twin Katanas (Shown in above picture. ^^) [b]Inventory:[/b] A map, a coin and a bag of varying sweets. [b]Special Ability:[/b] Elemental Assistance: Nova can influence the element Air to assist her in battle, however her range of use is quite limited. When focused around her feet, Nova can glide across the ground as easily as if it were made of ice (an elemental form of roller-skates if you'd like). By focusing the element around her waist, Nova becomes 'lighter' allowing her to leap higher into the air, or launch herself forward at a greater speed than her unaided body could manage alone. Beyond her body, Nova's influence is fairly weak with a maximum distance of 11 feet. Nova's ability is mostly fueled by her faith, in both Tuman as well as herself. Wavering faith in either will result in a weaker reaction from the element or complete failure to influence it altogether. [b]Speciality:[/b] "Banshees" (Or any monster with high agility/flexibility) [b]History:[/b] Growing up, Nova's family didn't have much money but they got along comfortably enough. Her father earned money by braving the plagued lands as a travelling merchant, travelling to sell various goods he had traded for or clothing his wife had made during his previous trips. While tough work, he made enough money to support his wife and two children, Nova and her older brother Leo. They four of them lived comfortably and happy until one trip, her beloved father never returned home. The family received word about a week and half later that the region he had been staying had been attacked with no survivors found in the small town. Without the merchant's income to support them, the three did their best to make good of their terrible situation. For two years they managed to get by, but their happiness was short lived. The creatures came in the middle of the night, wailing like the wind in a storm. They were given no other warning before the attack, her mother falling as their first victim. Leo (17 by this time) took his 10 year-old sister and ran as fast as they could travel, heading for shelter in the nearby forest. Nova hid under the roots of a large tree alone, forced to watch her brother use himself as a decoy to lure the monsters away from herself. Silently she prayed to the Deity she had only heard about, in hopes that it would bring her brother back to her. The hours seemed to stretch on forever but eventually morning came and with it, the only remaining family member she had left. Everyday from that day on Nova prayed and thanked Tuman for her brother's survival and for the strength to stand up to the monsters like Leo had. While her brother found work in blacksmith's shop, Nova trained every day to become the warrior that she is today. Now at the age of 20, Nova has decided to protect her brother one last time, using the gifts Tuman gave her to answer Ethan's call. [b]Forgotten:[/b] Has a large soft spot for animals, especially birds.[/hider] [s]Guess I couldn't quite finish it before I crashed for the night. XD I'm posting what I have so far to get a check on the Ability, and I am willing to change or add anything if needed. [/s]
