-Character Info-
Name: Nova Storm
Age (or human equivalent): Old (Human Age equivalent-mid- to late
60's). She's heard all the 'Older then Primus' jokes.
Gender (or human equivalent): Female
Species: Cybertronian
Faction: Autobot
Original Occupation: Seeker - Original Class - Extrasolar Scout
(Scientific Assistant prior to frame conversion)
Occupation/Specialization: Aerial Support/Recon
Appearance/Altmode: Nova (though she often goes by Storm) stands
shoulder to shoulder with Optimus, though she is about six inches
shorter at the helm. Her alt mode is based off the USAF F-22, with a
grey blue color scheme.
History: Nova Storm (originally Stormtracker) was sparked in the early
vorns of Nova Prime's reign, though not in her present frame. She was
originally a ground transport frame, geared for scientific
expeditions, though her spark longed to fly among the stars. Though
she loved her assignments, she slowly tried to save up enough credits
to pay for what was still a very expensive conversion procedure. Fate
called when Nova Prime requested volunteers to assist in pushing back
the boundaries of known Cybertronian space. All told, Storm was one
of only three Cybertronians to go through the frame conversion without
major ill effects.
Storm was made a member of the so-called 'Nova Squadron' and renamed
Nova Storm. Her directives were to explore the galaxy for potential
planets for later colonization, regardless of whether there was
intelligent life there or not. This last bit struck her as odd, but
she went along with it...until she encountered a race that called
themselves the Tridion. It was through them that she was enhanced and
her mind opened. Suddenly, everything she considered went out the
window.
Encrypting all the mapping she'd done to that point, Nova struck out
further into the galaxy, encountering more and more species, and often
found herself involved with their struggles. She gleaned a great deal
of combat experience as she went, until one day she was called home by
Zeta Prime.
Due to the distance she had covered in the teravorns since her
deployment, she only made it part way back to Cybertron before being
waylaid by an Decepticon raiding party. She was 'rescued' (though
there are a few 'bots who would suggest that it was the 'cons that
needed rescue) by a small group of Autobots, who were more then
welcoming to someone who could more then handle themselves. She
inquired about Cybertron, and was shocked by what she'd been told. The
rise of the Golden Age, the slow decay into the caste system, the
sprawl of conflict.
And the hope the newest Prime instilled.
Storm gladly joined the 'bots, because they fought for the same values
she had long known. Though outdated by a far margin, her 'outsider's'
status allowed her to become a major cracked piston in the Deception
war
machine, taking part in raids on key outposts and general disruptions
of 'con supply lines.
Personality: Despite being 'isolated' (if you consider encountering
new species and interacting with them as being isolated), her
personality is much like a caring grandmother...one who isn't afraid
to throw down and plant a ped in an fender or two. At times, she's
more then willing to get in a bot's face and tell it like she sees it,
even if that bot is Optimus.
Likes: Discovering new things (There's so much to find on one planet
alone!), quiet time, organics (well...most of them).
Dislikes: Wantoned destruction, false pretenses, Decepticons.
Strengths/Weapons:
Weapons: Back mounted twin missile launchers, smooth bore gauss cannon
embedded in length of right forearm (fingers fold down against outside of barrel),
Nanoedged sword (sheathed in back).
Scientific Sensor Suite - Nova was forged from the start with an
extensive suite of scientific sensors, which were key toward her old
life on Cybertron as well as her current 'occupation'. With it, she is
capable of making extremely detailed scans across a very broad
spectrum and range. While capable of detecting vessels cloaked against
conventional means of detection, the range is extremely limited.
Battle Hardened- In a galaxy as large as this, Storm has been in more
then a few conflicts, sometimes spanning local stellar decades. Her
time in conflict against Deception forces has further sharpened her
skills. She's also no stranger to 'stacked odds'.
Weaknesses:
Antiquated Armor- Being of an earlier generation, Nova's armor
composition is not as refined as that of her companions. While her
armor can take a good bit of punishment, it still can't come close to
that of her peers.
Lightweight- Because of her frame, Nova lacks the same throw weight as
other Cybertronians her size. This translates into slightly weaker
melee strikes. She attempts to make up for this with a sudden first
strike, often at speed.
Special skills (that are not weapon related):
Energon Efficient- Due to Nova's appointed mission, she was adapted to
draw energy from sources to supplement her Energon reserves (though
she was given an Energon converter as well), mainly solar and
stellar/planetary electromagnetogeneration. This has allowed her to endure longer on
meager Energon rations then others. Her encounter with the Tridion
enhanced the energy generated by these processes. In addition, not
only was the Energon converter integrated into her frame, she can also
leech energy directly from nontraditional sources (i.e.: energy
bindings), albeit very slowly.
Extra Info:
Nova has a set of special scientific probes and manipulators in her
fingers, capable of extremely fine movement, almost on par with
medical grade dendrites. These stem back from her days as a scientific
assistant. Unlike medical dendrites however, these are incapable of
any offensive or defensive abilities.
Sample RP (only for first accepted characters):
A slow strobing flash spread through the cabin. A hazy sheen hung in
the air, the surfaces sparkling as though they were covered with
crushed diamonds. A brief, sudden hiss cut through the otherwise
silent space, followed by a sharp bang and deep groan. A bright shaft
of light stabbed through the hazy to illuminate the room, soft heavy
footsteps moving forward. A figure paused just inside the doorway,
turning it's gaze over the mute stations before looking down as it
brought it's left forearm up. A holographic image appeared before
disappearing. "Made it to the bridge. Completely empty from the looks
of it. No signs of any struggle. Come on in."
As her companions filed in, Nova started a more in depth examination
of the bridge. Every so often, she ran a random scan, knowing that
something was clearly amiss. Why was this Cybertronian vessel empty?
There was no sign of any struggle, and then ship was intact...more or
less. Time hadn't been too kind, though they had managed to get power
partially restored. With any luck, they might just get this relic
going again. Any ship they could use was greatly appreciated.
