Nica Dexlus

, was the most powerful entity within , harboring the title of The Cat's Champion. A Daescin Emissary for The Council of Cats, she was considered the Angelic Messenger for Ludic, and was the bridge between The Council of Cats and their creation, Caerulus.
As a normal late-teenage girl on Queros hailing from the Dexlus Family, during the events of The Dexlus Awakening, Nica was risen to VoTT status against her will to replace the previous Champion, Xantara Dexlus.

::Skip to: Nica Gallery.
Nica appeared as a young hume woman with a petite build. She had wavy medium-length blonde hair and deep purple eyes. Her usual attire consisted of an archaic white dress with dark blue accents, white thigh-high socks with brown shoes, and a white beret hat. Occasionally, she could be seen with a brown cane.
During her time on Queros, she wore similar archaic clothing, despite the planet being in a gaia-like state. For a few thousand years after Queros' destruction, Nica coloured her skin to camouflage with the background of space, and changed her dress to a deep dark blue.
During the events of Event Horizon, her outfit changed to a multitude of different dresses before finally wearing modern clothing due to Elizeus Arcadia's suggestion.
==Personality==
Nica was just, heroic, and caring. When opened up, she showed traits of being silly, competitive, and sometimes even teasing. To those who knew her more than at face value, Nica was somewhat aloof and distant, as her exalted position of The Cat's Champion alienated her from the rest of Caerulus; even to the likes of powerful beings such as Merlene Scillon or Fate of Fools. Most of her socially distant nature stemmed from the finale of The Dexlus Awakening, wherein her life was discarded in favour of a narrative pre-determined for entertainment, which she would not come to terms with until the finale of .
As a young child, Nica was competitive, assertive, and confident, constantly butting heads with her sister, Lorelei, and sometimes ordering around her brothers, Felix and Kasnick. As she grew into adolescence, these traits would evolve to grow into her becoming more affectionate. Nica became much more altruistic, insightful, and sincere; though she still had a competitive edge which was often backed up by smugness and sometimes to the point of arrogance. Nica in her late teens suffered from perfectionism, and would often succumb to insecure tendencies when placed in complex social and political discord that was too overwhelming for her; especially if she had no clear solutions. Despite this, Nica had great natural charisma and often lead herself and her siblings out of any situation remotely related to discord, before it escalated too quickly. When things didn't go her way however, she was known to be uncompromising and overbearing in order to take control of any given situation, as it played into her schemas of perfectionism; mostly in part so as to achieve social harmony. Nica was known to have ample amounts of love to give.
After the finale of The Dexlus Awakening, Nica's entire personality saw drastic change. With the loss of her planet, Queros, and the loss of her mortal life as she once knew it, Nica became incredibly hollow and depressed. She would not realise for some time about the words that Stark Bates had told her about the position of The Cat's Champion and the promise of the New Era. Because of this, Nica became impassive, unfeeling, and empty. Without guidance from the one who had risen her, Nica would then spend some millennia floating through the vastness of Cradle, defending herself from any Guardian that crossed her path. She had immense power, but no passion or purpose.
After an unknown amount of time, Nica was finally called to do mysterious biddings. She learned of Ludic and The Council of Cats, and became a Daescin Emissary. Whilst in this position, some of Nica's old personality traits would return, and eventually after some time, her old self would grow alongside her new exalted status as a god. With a purpose now instilled in her, and a desire to save and love others, Nica became much more settled in her identity as the Angelic Messenger for the creator of . She would spend most of her time on these strange biddings to see Caerulus for herself, but not to the degree or freedom that others not in her position had, which made Nica somewhat sad.
During the latter end of her Angelic Messenger career prior to the events of , Nica grew to become sceptical, curious, and questioning. She had fulfilled wishes to lock her brother in a black hole, and was now being tasked with keeping an eye on strange people from another world, despite them being personally watched over by Ludic.
During the beginning of Event Horizon, Nica was noted to be stubborn, unchanging, and so far as to say defeatist. Not believing that her or any other destiny was able to be changed. Her perspective on the events and history of as a whole was somewhat jaded, and that any tragedy that played out was a way of "keeping things interesting." Across her Anima Journey whilst within The Tower of Eden, Nica would grow and develop to find a balance between her own subjective identity, that of the Angelic Messenger, and that of the Nica Dexlus that she knew of from her mortal time on Queros.
==Background==
Nica was one of the Four Dexlus Siblings. She was an exalted VoTT risen by Ludic himself, and was the replacement Champion for Xantara Dexlus for the transition between the Old and New Era; retrospectively in preparation for The Great Merge. She was made as the theoretical power cap of , with no other character able to exceed her abilities and prowess without special restrictions or rules. Before her exalted status, she was a generic teenage high schooler who was neither particularly popular or unpopular. Nica left her mortal life at the age of nineteen, one year out of an unnamed high school on Queros.

==Powers and Abilities==
Nica was the strongest entity within Caerulus, barring some exceptions such as Cat-devices like The Photographer, Fate of Fools, and story-rich MacGuffins such as The Storyteller and Chaos Crucible. Her power and prowess in all aspects of Anima, Magick, and physical capabilities saw next to no bounds. Nica was able to create, destroy, and warp reality as she saw fit. Though technically able to be defeated, such as willingly when she was stabbed by the Twin Soul Blade by Dayton Crowne in the prologue of Event Horizon, Nica was nigh-undefeatable. Her only weakness was narratively-invoked metapotent effects. Whilst outside of Cradle, she was still the strongest entity no matter what Quadrant she was in.
Universal strength: Nica was unfathomably strong, able to pull, push, and lift any object within Caerulus. 
Universal Magick: Nica's Magick was literally unmatched. It was noted by herself that she was able to create her own universe using Magick, but she avoided doing so as to not get in trouble by The Council of Cats.
Universal speed: Whilst within Cradle, Nica was able to be anywhere and everywhere, all at once. Her speed in other Quadrants matched that of many layers higher than the speed of light.
Universal endurance: Nica was unmatched in her endurance, stamina, and capacity. Her physical and Magickal prowess were nigh-endless, and if and when she was close to being slightly injured, she was able to refresh herself to full capacity instantly.
Universal intellect: With omniscient sense and foresight, Nica knew of all things that had been and will become. Only a few instances were unknown to her, due to Cat intervention or metapotent interference.
Universal perception: Nica knew of all things that transpired within Caerulus.
Influential charisma: Though Nica could will her charisma onto someone, she did not. Because of this, she had to use her natural charisma that she was born with and experienced on Queros. Though Nica wasn't particularly popular, she was still the leader of her siblings and a natural leader. Nica was able to reassure anxiety within gods as seen in her interaction with the Aeternatus God of Death during her initial stay at the Data Gardens. She was able to impress a nigh-hyperversal entity with her humour.
Universal Anima: Nica's Anima was able to encompass, influence, and warp the entirety of Caerulus. Only a Cat was able to prevent her from affecting their respective Quadrant. Nica was barred personally by Ludic from leaving .
