Ever since she was a little girl growing up on Xandar. They were the pinnacle off what a Xandarian could achieve. They protected two galaxies against threats, helping people all over the galaxy and getting to explore previously unexplored space. What more could she want? What more could someone achieve? For her there was nothing else. Her father, a merchant inspired this in him. Brought her up on stories of the Nova-Corps. It had been his dream too become a Nova, until an accident aboard a starship damaged his brain making him prone to seizures and incapable of handling the immensity of the Nova-Force. She made it into the Star-Academy at eighteen, worked her way through. Pushing herself, constantly. At the expense of any real social life, upon graduating she was accepted into the Nova-Corps as a corpsman! The moment she put on that helmet, felt the Nova-Force flow through her. She knew she had made it. This was her duty, this was where she belonged to be. This was her life, she even met someone just like her. Garthan Saal. The two moved through the ranks together, often working on missions together and forming a relationship that would later prove to be the end off Garthan Saal however while it lasted, it was perfect. They travelled the stars, helped people. Saved lives, never letting the relationship between them jeopardize the mission (Which is why it wasn't frowned upon or stomped out of existence). They were committed to each other but first and foremost to the Corps. It was the proudest moment of her life, her fathers life and Garthan Saals life when everything went wrong. Tensions between Xandar and the Kree Empire were at an all time high, despite a truce and ceasefire Xandar began to lose contact with it's colonies, no sighting off Kree ships or any other ship for that case. In fact the Kree at least appeared to be as perplexed as the Xandarians and the Nova-Corps. Each planet that lost contact was destroyed, no-one had been left alive. It was not clear what had caused such destruction as it was a complete extinction event on each of the planets hit. Then a ship appeared in orbit, Nova Prime went up to face it with the full power of the Hive mind and Nova-Force, ten of his best warriors and yet whatever weapon the ship possessed it truly was formidable. His ship approaching the planet, Garthan Saan accessed the World-Mind and was granted permission to become Nova Prime. Though before he went to fight the invaders he created a gravitational field and cast Mexxa off the planet, the World-mind recognizing that Garthan Saal would not commit himself to fight the invaders until Mexxa was out of the way interfaced with her helmet to ensure that his attempts to save her were succesful. She watched, helpless as Xandar was destroyed and the kree ship left. As the World-mind ceased to be, her helmet became operational again allowing her access to the Nova-force once more. Though it was too little, too late. She had failed, everyone she had ever cared about was dead. The corps, was dead. [b] Powers and Abilities:[/b] Mexxa possesses some of the Nova-Force which grants her these abilities. Her power is able to increase however if she is imbued with more of the Nova-Force. This is her current power-rating which is more akin to that of Sam Alexander than that of Richard Rider. Depending on how the plot develops and what is going on she does have the capability to become Nova Prime and more similar to Richard Rider. Though I'd rather keep her below that level. While the additional strength, reflexes and survival skills remain with the helmet off all the other abilities require to have her helmet on. Though thanks to her needing little to no sleep, and no real sustenance she rarely takes it off. - Superhuman Strength: She has increased strength, currently able to lift 20 tonnes. - Superhuman Speed: Primarily through flight she is able to travel upto hundreds of miles per hour. Running has more restrictions however, thanks too physics. - Superhuman Endurance: She can exert herself for longer without fatigue, obviously the more she does the faster it happens however merely moving fast it takes her at least 12 hours before the toxins start to impair her. - Accuracy: With the Worldminds help(Currently out of order) she can calculate shots with deadly accuracy. - Reflexes: Her reflexes, while they have nothing on Spider-sense are greatly improved, slightly above that off the most skilled fighter pilots. - Healing Factor: She has a slight healing factor, though only on par with Spider-man nothing too amazing. - Flight: The Nova-Force allows her to propel herself through the air, and at Faster than Light speeds out of atmosphere which allows her to patrol space freely without a ship. - Energy Blasts: Similar to focusing the Nova-Force to allow her to fly she can also form it to make energy blasts and fire them at enemies. - Cosmic Awareness: Her helmet can relay information on the affairs of the galaxy through a set of relays, however the network has suffered damage with the loss of Xandar. - Universal Translator: The Helmet has an inbuilt translator so she can understand what other species are saying. - Survival: Thanks to the Nova-Force she can survive with little to no air, and with little to eat or drink. [b] Sample Story Arcs:[/b] - Xandar Lost: Her home, her people. Way of life lost, how will she react? - The Hunt: Galen-Kor destroyed Xandar, the Hivemind and the Nova-Corps. Though nobody knows this, will Mexxa be able to discover his identity and bring him to justice? - Worldmind gone: The Worldmind is what helps her analyze situations in battle, plan tactics and keep her sane in using the Nova-Force. While it is unlikely that the amount she has access too could drive her insane, what happens when there is a resurgence? - Guardians: Will the Guardians stand for the loss of Xandar? Will she work with them or go on a rampage? - SuperNova: With a resurgence of the Nova-Force the World-mind re-activates, will she heed it's guidance? - Nova Prime: Leader of the Nova Corps. Will it become what it once was? - Xandar Rebuilt: When the Hive-mind recreates Xandar and everyone on it, will it be the same? Will she be able to go home? To her family? - Thanos: This is a late game one, but how will she react to the mad Titan? - The Collector: Everyone knows the Collector... right? He lives in Knowhere, collects all kind of artifacts? No, there is another. [b] Sample Post:[/b] She didn't know what she expected to find. The World-Mind was dormant, if not dead. The surface of the planet was barren and covered in ash. Cracked and burning. She could feel the smoke tickling the back of her throat despite the best efforts of her helmet. That in itself made her lose a tear. She didn't deserve this helmet, this power. Not anymore. She had failed everyone. She fell to her knees where her home had once been, her father. Probably oblivious to what had been going on, the kree striking so fast had likely been here. He would have been so proud as she became a centurion, waiting with pride for her to come home. Boasting to whoever would still listen to the stories about his daughter, the great Centurion! Who went off to distant worlds and fought the evil and the corrupt. Could take command of any starship in the fleet, and had amazing power. That he, and they wouldn't know. Now they really wouldn't, nothing could bring back Xandar. It was gone, and so were her people. All that was left was her. [i]"There's more to being a Nova than just flying around and wielding power Mexxa, even I know that. It's about helping people, fighting the good fight. Enlightening them, teaching them. There's great power and an even greater responsibility. Never lose faith, your heart will keep you true. As in it, there is nothing but good."[/i] She began to cry a constant stream off tears, falling into the dust. The chemicals in the air causing the tears to burn, but she didn't stop. She let them flow, her father was right. She couldn't wallow in self pity, she was a Nova. If she was the last one so be it, however she wasn't going to just sit around and let the kree do something like this again. No, she wouldn't let anything like this happen ever again. She would fight the good fight. For Xandar, for the Nova-Corps. [i]For her father[/i].
