Anu Novak/History & Synopsis

Growing up, Anu had always been shunned in a way due to her monstrous scorpion tail, which tended to leave other children screaming in fright. This fear drove Anu to want to become a hero - she wanted to show people that she wasn't scary. The reactions Anu received because of her tail also led to the growth of Anu's "dark side."

In her middle school years, Anu learned to hone her abilities until the day she'd become a hero. With full support from her parents, Anu trained hard after school to gain better dexterity with her large tail. It was during her middle school years, also, that Anu also developed sociopathic symptoms, as she secluded herself whenever she could to better focus on achieving her goals. However, she never stopped being friendly when interacting with others.

During the entrance exam, Anu was one of the first candidates to rush off into the replica urban setting. Within the first few minutes, she had already racked up forty-five points. This was done by rushing up the large robots, using her scorpion tail to aid her, and embedding her sharp barb deep within them. Because she can't cut through metal with her scorpion tail alone, Anu used the metal cap kept on her scorpion tail to slice through for her. The cap was allowed because of the risk of lethal poison leakage from the barb. Anu ended the entrance exam with 76 points, with the rest of her score gained from rescuing other candidates.

After the Shie Hassaikai Arc, Anu travelled to Nagoya, Japan for a personal errand. During her free time, she took a stroll in one of Nagoya´s many parks and ran into Augustus Reaper, who was the villain Abros and the founder of Reaper International (though, Anu didn´t know it yet). The man seemed kind and polite, so Anu trusted him, and Reaper bought Anu lunch at a restaurant for the collision. Anu sensed that Reaper was powerful due to the vibes he gave off, and immediately admired him for it. Not too long later, though, Anu was captured by a group of thugs (hired by Reaper) and taken to a cold, dark lab. There, Reaper began to experiment on her - utilizing neurotoxins, mind-affecting drugs, and high voltages of electricity to torture her. During this time, Reaper learned of Anu´s dark side and attempted to cultivate it by isolating her after the torture. This was all to see if someone as naive and innocent as Anu could break, to see if she would become like him. To his dismay and anger, Anu remained light-heartened and maintained her goofy personality through it all. Eventually, Reaper decided to release her and she returned to U.A. acting as though nothing happened. Inwardly, though, something did. Anu´s dark side showed itself more often, even when others were around, and doubt crept into Anu´s mind on whether being a hero was still her dream. Reaper often appeared, to taunt and mock Anu, which further broke her. He led her to confront her worst fear, which is herself. The fear that everything about her is true and that she is actually a monster, that her ¨dark side¨ is nonexistent. However, upon receiving a gift from Reaper for Christmas (a pure gold necklace with the word ´Hero´ in diamonds), Anu vowed to become the best hero, so that no one else gets damaged like she and Reaper were.

She met Phoebie Roselei as Phoebie was coming back to school from having gone to America for a while. Phoebie soon learned about Anu´s relationship with Augustus Reaper and wanted to end it by avenging her parents and taking down Reaper. Read the roleplay with these three here.
