## Background

Tiger Shark Amalgamates are a rare race of tiger sharks that slowly evolve into a humanoid or more monster-like entity that embodies all the natural traits of a shark. Most sharks after their birth are left to fend and survive for themselves. If lucky, newly born sharks will get a name before they're left. In most cases this brutal upbringing is the thing that reinforces these sharks' natural aggressive nature. Tiger Shark Amalgamates are genetically gifted with the ability to manipulate water and have their speed increased when surrounded by water. Tiger Shark Amalgamates usually are born with black or red eyes.

Nova was born as the first Tiger Shark Amalgamate born to ever have blue eyes and seek peace and friendship with other races. Nova was unnamed and born in shallow waters near a beach left swimming around until one night when he decided to explore the beach eventually catching sight of people walking around on the beach before getting dragged back to the waters. Some time passes and while Nova went looking for food he began to morph and mutate. Overtime the mutation grew worse and worse until Nova was practically humanoid swimming around. After the mutation occurred, Nova figured that he could fit in with the people on land and began to learn how to walk and interact with the people on the beach. This led to the one day when he stumbled into a mysterious figure named Vevid who he befriended gave him the name Nova. Coming into contact with Vevid sparked the transfer of the Flame God into Nova giving Nova access to his signature blue Hellfire and his weapons.

Unbeknownst to Nova, Vevid was actively getting chased down by an underground organization known as The Alters. The organization set its sights on Nova because of the rumored Infernal energy all the Flame Gods posses.

Due to The Alters showing up, Nova always had to lay low and stay away from places he would easily be caught or found. Though this helped his situation, he still had run ins with some of the organizations members which sent him further and further away from society.

Later down the line Nova managed to end the chase The Alters were giving him which led Nova into hunkering down in an unused shack which would later become COWC.

Nova's goals are to take down The Alters for good and be able to freely settle down in a high populated area filled with people he can interact with

These goals are what eventually lead into the creation of the group COWC.

## Personality

Nova to his core is a people person. He naturally tends to gravitate towards people and yearns for connections and interactions. However, due to circumstances he tends to be quick to avoid people all together.

Nova is the first of the Tiger Shark Amalgamate race that wasn't inherently hostile or aggressive. Though their friendship being very brief, Nova took a lot of his mannerisms and behavioral patterns from Vevid.

Nova is very attentive and has a habit of being overly alert and on guard due to his past. Though when you get past that, he is a soft and laid back being who just puts up a calm front. Despite his seemingly emotionless front he puts up Nova yearns for socialization and interaction.

Nova is a simple thinker. He prefers to be as straight forward as possible with everything he does because it seems like the fastest solution to his problems. Nova hates senseless conflict and meaningless fighting and often is the quickest to shut down pointless altercations and other conflicts whether it be social or physical.

Nova is also quick to grow attached to people due to his upbringing and the time he spent interacting with people on the beach he learned to walk on.

* **Fire Styles**
* **Water Styles**

**God Forms**

* **Flame God**
	+ **Flame Styles**

Nova has a more unique god form in which he was able to have an active blue flame instead of the regular red and orange flames. These blue flames are hotter and far more affective than regular fire. These flames are known as the fully mastered version of the Flame and Fire styles. Knowing this, Nova has become the living standard for all fire users to strive for, as he is the first and only person to achieve this power. Nova has only a few actual unique forms he can use that are different from both the Fire and Flame styles.

Nova's Flame God Powers are tied to his emotions, but have a will of its own. If Nova comes into contact with anything regarding Hell or The Underworld his Hellfire will react. The scale of this reaction is determined by how direct of contact he makes to The Underworld. The biggest reaction Nova's flames can have is uttering words.

Nova activates his god form by engulfing himself with his flames while keeping a steady flow of fire surrounding himself. The strength of Nova's god form is affected by the strength of the flames surrounding him.

**Passive Abilities**

* **Burning** - Upon entering the Flame God form anything within proximity of Nova will begin to burn, including the air around him.

* **Flow state** - Upon activation of Nova's God form, he enters a state of flow where every action Nova takes feels effortless and instant. Paired with Nova's overly attentive nature, allows Nova to take in massive amounts of information almost instantly and act upon it.

* **Soul fire** - Nova's own unique healing factor. When Nova burns himself his flames heal any physical damage done to Nova. The effectiveness of soul fire is affected by Nova's fire output and how much fire he covers himself with. The more concentrated Nova's fire is on a certain spot the faster soul fire can heal him. Nova can use a lesser version soul fire outside of his god form due to the output of his flames being overall weaker

* **Enhanced Perception** - Nova's senses, primarily vision and hearing get enhanced when Nova enters his God forms.

**Hyper Acceleration** - Nova's speed is drastically increased in his Flame God form. Nova is also capable of further increasing his speed via increasing the output of his flames into his legs.

**Blazing Defense** - When you get past the radiation and burning that simply being around Nova causes because Nova enters his form by burning himself this means hes constantly coated in his how hellfire. This acts as a pseudo defense to physical attacks as anything that touches Nova gets burned instantaneously.

* **Overflowing Prison** - Nova uses his water to make invisible floating circular blobs to trap and suffocate his targets and persuiters.

## Fighting Styles

Nova doesn't particularly possess any concrete fighting style.

Nova has a sloppy and rough fighting style as Nova has never been trained in any hand to hand combat and mostly relies on his speed and perception to win hand to hand altercations. In most cases, Nova prefers to attack using his Hellfire or Water, or at most use basic strikes infused with his Hellfire.

## Weapons

**En** - Nova's primary weapon is his short sword. This sword came from the Flame God itself as upon gaining access to this weapon this blade was one out of the two weapons Nova saw in his initial vision. It's his primary weapon because its the lightest weapon he can conjure up which doesn't affect his speed. Nova can spawn his sword from anywhere on his body using either fire or water.

**Ra Pelorios** - Nova possess a larger broadsword. This sword was an original creation of Nova's, as he needed a wider weapon during the time of creation. This sword is Nova's strongest blade, however, it's heavier and slower than En and more uncomfortable for Nova to use, so Nova tends to gravitate towards En more. Nova is capable of summoning this sword from his hands using only his fire.

**Meígma Dunamis** - Nova was capable of conjuring up a bow made out of both his water and fire elements. This weapon also came from the Flame God itself being the second of the weapons Nova saw in his initial vision. This weapon shattered during his battle with one of The Alters members. Nova's bow was his strongest weapon before it shattered and got replaced.

**Grígora Meígma Dunamis** - Upon Meígma Dunamis shattering, every time Nova attempts to conjure up Meígma Dunamis hes left with a string that can pop out from anywhere on Nova's body. This string can vary in size and length. This string possesses properties from both Nova's Hellfire and Water abilities which increases the overall strength of this weapon. Nova is also capable of stacking either his Hellfire and Water abilities on top of Grígora Meígma Dunamis already having properties of his abilities. This is Nova's current strongest weapon which was created from the shattered fragments of his bow.
