BACKGROUNDS:
Cypher 1: A couple of your secrets are well hidden.
Node 3: With a 4th instar node, a nova
may absorb one point of quantum a turn, two at the
5th instar, and three at the 6th.
Resources 1: This is the level of earning for the average college student. You have a small apartment
(or a larger one with roommates) and an older model used car. Typically, you live from paycheck to pay-check, barely staying ahead on bills. You pull in around $250 a week after taxes. At this level, your money probably comes from college scholarships/loans or a part-time service job. Examples of novas living at this level include Beltaine and Apocrypha.

POWERS:
Attribute 4 / Ability 1
Armor 2(3pt)(1 lv taint)-Character receives +3 soak against bashing and lethal damage per dot in Armor.
Claws 1 (3pt)- When used in close combat, Claws convert the bashing damage caused by the character’s normal punches and strikes into lethal damage. Furthermore, the character may roll one extra damage die per dot he has in Claws.
Flight 2(3pt)(1 lv taint) - He can fly at a speed equal to (power rating x 4) + 40 meters per action in combat; out of combat his
speed is (Quantum + Flight) x 50 kilometers per hour.
Premonition 1(3pt)-To use it, the character pays the quantum-point cost, which allows her to detect
danger for one scene. Whenever she is confronted with any danger during that time - she is about to trip a
trap, someone points a gun at her, etc. - the player may make a Perception + Premonition roll to detect it. ;The difficulty should be set by the Storyteller, depending on the severity of the danger (the greater the potential harm, the easier it is to detect) and how likely it is
to affect the character (a direct threat is easier to detect than something that might adversely affect thecharacter but isn’t intended for her)
Quantum Bolt 3(9pt)- Dice Pool: Dexterity + Quantum Bolt
Range: (Quantum + power rating) x 15 meters | Area: NIA | Duration: lnstant | Effect: lnflicts [Quantum x 31 levels + (power rat-ing x 4) dice of bashing damage or [Quantum x 21 levels + (power rating x 4) dice of lethal damage (player’s choice).

MEGA-ENHANCEMENTS
Mega-Dexterity 1(3 pt): The Mega-Dexterity rating is added to the character’s Initiative, run and sprint scores. Furthermore, when a nova with Mega-Dexterity is in combat and another character tries to use a delayed action to interrupt the nova’s action, the interruption is not automatic. Instead, both characters must make Dexterity rolls; the one with the most successes goes First. 1f a nova with Mega-Dexterity and a character without it act at the same time, the Mega-Dexterous character is automatically considered to have the higher Initiative, and thus, he gets to go first. If both characters have Mega-Dexterity and the Enhanced Initiative enhancement (see "Mega-Wits"), the standard rule applies.


MERITS/FLAWS:


PhysicaI Aberrations: low-level:(1 taint): Fur/Feathers: better able to handle cold conditions (+1 die to Stamina rolls) but not as good at handling heat (-1 die to Stamina rolls). The nova’s appearance is
also quite distinctive. Some people may Find the aberration attractive, but most will find it strange and may even consider the nova more of an animal than a person.
Flashbacks (3pt.)
You are prone to flashbacks anytime you are in a stressful situation or in a situation similar to the flashback situation. Either positive or negative stimuli can cause a flashback. Good flashbacks can be as danagerous as bad flashbacks.
During the flashback you are not aware of people or situations around you. Even people speaking to you will appear to be part of the flashback. To you reality has shifted and you have returned to the moment of the flashback. These flashbacks occur at the GM's discretion. The player must tell the storyteller what caused the flashbacks and what sort of experiences are contained in them.
For a system method of determining flashbacks. The player must roll a Will roll difficulty 8 each time they are placed in a stressful situation to avoid the flashback. The player must roll a Will roll difficulty 10 each time they are placed in a similar situation to what caused the flashback. Both of these rolls are of course subject to situational modifiers.
Enemy 3 (1-5pt.)
You have an enemy, or perhaps a group of enemies, who seek to harm you. The power of the enemy depends upon how many points the player wishes to spend (five points indicate the wrath of an Elder or other potent supernatural foe).
The Bard's Tongue (1pt.)
You speak the truth, uncannily so. Things you say tend to come true. This is not a facility for blessing and cursing, or an Effect that can be ruled by any conscious control. However, at least once per story, an uncomfortable truth regarding any current situation will appear in your head and through your lips. To avoid speaking prophesy, you must expend a Willpower point and take a Health Level from the strain of resisting (especially if you bite a hole in your tongue).

CONCEPT
Artist: A creative personality (writer, dancer, actor, painter, singer).

NATURE
Gallant: Seek attention and adulation from others. Your strength is Artistry, while your weaknesses are Flamboyance and Overconfidence.
Gain willpower whenever your deeds are particularly impressive, awe-inspiring, or likely to land you smack in the center of attention.

ALLEGIANCE
-nil-

ERUPTION
Excitement: The character erupted during a sudden surge of passion – excitement over winning the lottery, a sexual encounter or a sudden discovery.
or
Threatening Situation: Similar in some ways to an accident, a threatening situation involves the nova erupting during a mugging, war, animal attack or similar event. Of course, no two novas erupt in quite the same ways.

Background:
Lawrence Nixon always wanted to change the world. He had a nice voice and wrote nice songs but he and his alternative rock band, Hotstop, never quite made it big. Well, that was the case until that night and that song and that note. When the band got its big break, Larry knew he had to blow away the crowd. What he didn't realize was that his vocal abilities would erupt on stage during his final song, Yellow Trouble! No one was seriously injured, fortunately, and he woke up in Vancouver's [insert evil Four Facility here] the next morning recovering from a massive headache. [insert vivisection attempt, eufiber bonding experiments, escape by merely asking the guards to let him go because his abilities were underestimated]

OR

After a violent encounter with an obsessed nova fan [calling herself Yellow Trouble] who almost crushed his throat then threw him off a building, Larry's sonic abilities erupted, mostly breaking his fall. Now called Larynx, he's has gone to great lengths to acquire and master eufiber for extra protection.

Abilities:
Superhuman vocal chords allow him to generate destructive or subtle sound waves, giving him the ability to damage objects or people, and disorient, charm, or calm others. He can manipulate his eufiber suit in various ways, from patagia for gliding or tendrils for manipulating objects to serving as armour.

Description:
6'1"
Brown skin, brown eyes, black hair.
Fit. Good looking.
Canadian. Parents and two sisters live in Vancouver.
Usually quiet, polite, and friendly.

Goals:
Make the world a better place while selling more records.

Flaws:
Despite a genuine desire to make the world a better place, there is a drive in Larynx for recognition and respect for what he's doing. He has been known to be openly jealous of others who are more famous or more lauded or more powerful than he is. Larynx also tries to seem in control of the situations he's in... even when he's in way over his head.

Accuracy
Enhancements that characters with Mega-Dexter-
ity may learn or purchase include:
Some Mega-Dexterous novas have an uncanny abil-
ity to aim attacks and judge how to place their blows For
best effect. Certain novas claim that this enhancement is
the ultimate in hand-eye coordination, while others speak
of "mystic Forces" guiding them. Whatever the reason,
anyone who’s seen them in combat can’t help but admire
their ability.
System: In addition to any other bonuses provided
for having a Mega-Attribute, the character receives three
more dice to roll when attempting to hit any target with
any attack (whether close combat or ranged combat).
The character must take a turn to aim the attack. This
bonus applies only to Firearms, martial arts, melee and
quantum-power attacks; attacks involving Brawl do not
get the bonus (since they depend on raw power and fe-
rocity, not precise aim).
This enhancement stays active For a single attack
(hit or miss).
