Special abilities
As a Cheruphae, she has the ability to manipulate reality. The strength of this ability is tied to her overall strength and bond to her host body, Raphael. As she absorbs Harmony, her power grows.
Powers include:
- Telekinesis
- Manifest her energy into physical objects
- Temperature manipulation (fire ice powers)
- Alter form of host (transformation). She uses this on Raphael to return him to his Human form, and to transform him into Celestial or Kairothian forms so that he can use their special abilities.
- As her host, Raphael is able to call upon these abilities as if they were his.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
When Nova was originally formed from Harmonic in the astral plane, she didn't have any conscious thoughts, she simply acted on instinct. Within the formless void of the Astral Plane, she followed hers instincts and searched for more sources of Harmony. She found a faint yet constant source of energy within one spot, it seemed to originate from something beyond. She pushed through the barrier to reality and found the soul of a young child. This was Raphaels soul. One night while he slept in his bed, he dreamt of a mysterious yet comforting presence engulfing him like a shroud. He had unknowingly and unconsciously allowed Nova to enter his mind and become a part of him. Neither of the two had any conscious understanding of what had happened.
As Raphael grew up, Nova believed herself to be Raphael, unknowingly influencing his life, contributing to his thoughts and hearing his. Over time, Nova began to realize that she was a separate entity that could think independently from her master. She would find that she could hold her own thoughts to herself, keeping Raphael unaware of them. After some instances of Raphael seeming to reject her thoughts, she became a little resentful. She began to wonder if she could leave, and what would happen if she did. Fear gripped her. If she was to leave her host, what would happen to her? Would she cease to exist? She had held on for so long, and had no memory of what things were like prior to joining with Raphael, or even that there was a "before". After years of hesitation, she let go of the bond that connected her to her host. She faded back into the astral plane. When she left, Raphael felt a sense of loss that he couldn't explain.
After returning to the Astral Plane, memories flooded back of the formless void, and hers short time spent floating aimlessly around, consuming the Harmonic bounty. However, things were a little bit different. Another force was lurking, something dark and unpleasant: Malice. This substance terrified Nova. Not only that, but there seemed to be other things, things which feasted on the Malice. Nova kept her distance, wanting to avoid their detection. What were those things? Were they like her? What exactly was she? No... No, she was NOTHING like those things. Those horrid things. Demons. She wanted to go back. She had to.
After learning so many things from Raphaels perspective, she wanted to return to him, and reveal her presence. She returned to reality and found Raphaels soul a second time. She revealed herself to him in a dream. Raphael, in a much more lucid state despite being asleep, welcomed her back with open arms, He recalled her familiar presence as though she were a part of him that had gone missing. Nova told Raphael everything about what she understood about herself... which wasn't much. And since Raphael was still dreaming, he didn't remember much aside from the sensation of regaining a long lost friend. When he awoke, he still felt that familiar presence in his mind, but wasn't sure if the dream was real. Nova confirmed to him that she was real. From then on, Nova and Raphael continued their lives, spirit and host.
Morality & Philosophy
As a Cheruphae, she had a perfect understanding of ethical and moral right and wrong the moment she first existed. However, she is not omniscient, and can make mistakes if due to her limited knowledge of the world. She understands the value of both Deontological thought and Consequential thought.
