## Biography

### Early History

Nova is the youngest in the Tenebrae family, a family that's focusing more on things other that duel monsters. His father, Ashton Tenebrae, is a mechanic and a restorer and his mother, Lorie Tenebrae, is a school teacher. Nova took an interest in all of the mechanical stuff in his home and often was allowed to watch, and help his father with stuff. This resulted in him trying to fix things himself. Doing so got some duel disks destroyed, ruined a lawn mower, and gave him a few scars. But as time passed, he became better. In school, he was considered the odd one out, he was often more focused on what he was going to create/fix next, instead of focusing on study, and was left alone most of the time. Some of the older kids made fun of him, and often took his stuff away from him. But that didn't stop him. A few years later, when he just got into duel monsters, Nova heard of a school called Phantom academy. He wanted to learn more about dueling, so he applied to the school to improve his skills and one day be a top duelist.

### Phantom Academy - Year 1

#### Student Council Elections

Nova attended the assembly in which the elections were announced, and decided to run for the head of Ra. Later on, and while he was walking around the school looking for ideas to prepare his speech, he met and befriended the Slifer student Lelouch Vortis. After going around the school, and getting help from other students, it was time for Nova to present his speech for the student council elections. After the speech, he went up to the school rooftop for some fresh air, that's where he met the Obelisk student Luna Natsuze. After loosing a duel to her, they had a small chat and Luna decided to tease Nova cause of his sudden shyness. She then left and Nova was left confused about the whole thing.
