NAME: Nova Elgrin
NICKNAME: Nova
FACTION: Independent, yet lives a life quite similar to a Jedi
RANK: Apprentice
SPECIES: Human
AGE: 14 Years
GENDER: Female
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes - Trained.

APPEARANCE:


Nova_zps0yc60u10.png


1,65m - petite - blonde hair - blue eyes - two missing fingers left hand
Nova's height is around 1,65m and like most girls her age she is of petite frame. She's got small shoulders and a narrow waist, which then passes to soft sweeping hips. Even though a last whisper of childishness surrounds her, there is no denying Nova’s body gradually declares her as a woman. Her face is defined of smooth lines, plump cheeks and a delicate nose. Her eyes are of a bright, intensive blue reminding of uncut sapphire. Golden curls frame Novas features and reach till her waist. She loves all kind of hairstyles, either down or in artistic, braided varations, especially buns and wreaths.

Even though she is not a member of the official Jedi Order, she still follows the tradition of wearing a Padawan braid. Hers is narrow braided, often draped with a single velvet band. The braid ends around the height of her collarbone, where a tiny, white feather and a gift of her master serve as decoration. The gift is a tear-shaped piece of Amber, in which a myrkrsh' firefly is embedded. As the Fly is still glowing one could assume there is a powerful message behind that present. Maybe it's about death and how it's not the end, maybe it's about hope, but maybe it's still just a pretty adornment. However her braid reminds more of the playfulness of a fairly young girl than of the classic version.
Three years ago she lost half of her pinkie finger as well as the top of her ring finger on her left hand. After the accident she either keeps her hand discreetly behind her back or wear gloves, to hide the fact that she's not whole anymore. Her dominant hand is the right hand, which means the accident two years ago was not fatal to her further training.

Her wardrobe is dominated of Sand-, Umbra and diverse pastel colours. She likes tight trousers when it comes to daily routine. If it comes to footwear it's mostly leather, either boots or sandals. Even though her Master is a very simplistic man, Nova doesn't really like the quite pale style of the Orders favoured robes. She loves colours and follows the basic rules: the nuances have to match to one another and shouldn't be too loud. She likes lightweight fabrics that flatter both her build and skin. Most of the time she wears tunics tightend around her waist with broad tapes of fabric or leather. She also likes patterns of every kind.

If there is the rare opportunity of a feast, Nova loves flowing dresses. She never removes the golden necklace of her mother which shows a sun on golden ground.

Novas voice is a soprano of pleasant timbre. Her Master originates from Coruscant, so her Basic is of the local accent. She doesn't always stay true to her acquired vocabulary, weaving in swears from time to time, much to the dismay of her patronat.

Nova is quite fond of the scent of vanilla and millaflower, she always wears a drop of perfume oil on her pulse. The odeur surrounds her decently and is not intrusive even when one stands close to her. The Oil is a little vanity she grants herself.

MASTER:

Alister%20sig%202_zpsnsjx0txe.png
A quite and stern man, who tends to take things very serious. He is strict but fair, however when he finally manages to relax he has a fine sense of humour, is generous and all together pleasant company.


ATTRIBUTES:
According to her training the young Elgrin unites a multitude of strenghts, which qualify her for combat. She is escpecially talented with the lightsaber, which lies more in her nature than the more subtle ways of the force. She is very atheltic and likes exercise in general.
The fact that she is not whole is a weakness seizing both psychological and physically ground. Nova most likely wont be able to ever fight with a second lightsaber, as she doesn't want a prothesis.
Nova possesses a strong will, courage and a clever mind. It's an easy task for her to gain others goodwill because her cheerfullness and laughter, no doubt the laughter of a true sunshine, make it easy to be fond of her. Even though it might not be important for her profession, she has a discint beautiful singing voice. She tends to maltreat her Master with slushy ballads at times.
Nova is anxious to keep her body agil, quick and strong, even if only in the limits of her gender.
She is not very good with meditation but she keeps trying anyway ("I cant focuse if my ankle itches!")
Also her Black-White painting tends to dull her judgement, as does her stubbornness.


PERSONALITY:
Novas personality is very much shaped by her Master, even though hers is completly contrary to his own. Basicly she is of friendly nature, but stays only faithful to courtesy to the point where someone succeeds in truely irritating her. Then she shows a rather impulsive temper in form of fierce words or actions, even though she often tries to tame herself through meditation. Due to her youth Nova is still torn between naivity and the sceptisicm long journeys thaught her. The striving for harmony, that serves as her compass, might be leading her thoughts, yet her irascibility is easly awoken when her sense of justice or her pride is offended. The young Miss surely possesses the base attributes of a her idols, the Jedi, but she tends way more to let herself be consumed by her feelings than one of those should.

She tries to use wits and logic, yet this approach fails often enough, because of her temper. This still doesnt mean she lacks sense. She is smart and her tounge is as quick as her mind, unfortunatelly sometimes even quicker. As Master Alister seems to push back a conversation about sex education , Nova is as good as unenlightend. Every wisp of ambiguity is either not recognized as such, or forces her glaze to the ground in embarrasement.
Nova has a relativly rigid moral-codx, which maintains little tolerance for everything that doesn't conform with it. Somewhere between idealismn and desillusionment her world exists to a good amount of black-white thinking. She has trouble judging events and persons that dont jam into this order. She values loyalty and honorable intentions and tries to meet this requirements herself. Nova tends to altruismn, which however is not always fairly rewarded in this galaxy.

Due to her being quite empathic inclined, she fails regurlaly on the praised objectivity of the Jedi Order. Pure rationality barely lies in her nature. And due to her infirmity she often fears people degrade her to a second class being, which may be the reason for her to train even harder.
Nova is a quite skilfull liar and has no remorse lying to people if it serves a good purpose. Over the years she got quite talented with building extensive constructions of lies. Yet if given the chance, she prefers telling the truth.

At the moment she has little understanding for politics, something Master Alister deeply hopes will change in the future. She isn't lacking a certain diplomatic felicity but she quickly meets her limits ,if her counterpart isn't easily sorted into her established 'Good' and 'Evil' sheme.
Her Master is her temple, her sanctuary, and even though she can't understand all of his decisions, she honors and loves him more than everything else. Many of her actions happen out of the will to please him and to earn his respect. An insult against him will more likely arouse Novas anger then his own.

All in all Nova is a very ambivalent character. A young girl, so sweet, if she likes someone or feels the duty to protect them, but a vicious little viper whos bite can become quite venomous.

BIOGRAPHY:
Novas Past is somewhat mysterious, even for herself. She has some hazy memories of her mother, a beautiful woman with the same golden curls as her very own. However apart from that, everything else vanishes into darkness.
She is with Master Alister since she was around two to three years old. He teaches her the way of the light side.
Master Alister and Nova live a quite restless life as nomads. Over the years Nova got the impression they were trying to escape something and began to question her Master with fierce, causing him to finally give her at least some pieces of information. He told her, she had powerful enemies which she inherited due to her blood and name. However he still denied to expose her true name or origin. As for now she shares the name with her master, she even calls him father most of the time, which he seems to enjoy secretly.
Nova lost her integrity three years ago when they were raided by space pirates, struggling to this day with the consequences of this misfortune.

RP-Start: Master Elgrin and Nova are on Iridonia, where they get poisoned by unknown enemies. Alister manages to save his Padawan, hiding her in one of the many stalls Randons Basars are famous for.
Nova awakens the next morning, still feeling ill of the poison and desperately trying to find her Master. After another two days she had to face the fact that he was gone.
Now she is on her way to the Jedi Order to plead for help, hoping to find fromer friends of his that might not have forgotten about him and are willing to look out for him.

SKILLS:
- Swordsmanship:
Nova is very talented when it comes to the lightsaber. It's most likely her greatest talent in terms of the force.
- Marksmanship: Surprisingly Nova is a quite good marksman, however of course far from a master.
- Pilot: Nova is a capable pilot, even though her flying style is pretty adventurous...
-Force:
Medical:
"I'm alright" can heal superficial wounds.
Telekinesis: "If it's my turn to clean the ship I use the force. The cleaning rag is not to heavy for me to move!" Small objects are easily within her power, she could be way more powerful if she wouldn't be distracted so easily.
Jumps/Spins/Movement: Advanced - this is where she shines.

GEAR:
Her inventory changes with the visit of every shop of course, however the most precious things:
ELG-3A Blaster | Her first lightsaber 'Glory' | Her current lightsaber called Peacebringer| MU2 - Master Alisters droide | the necklace of her mother | the gift of her Master

PET:
Luna (name chosen by @FinnSimmons)
a silvery-white dog of pretty gigantic scale. The female dog is well-behaved and quite most of the time. She is however very protective of her mistress and a stranger should think twice about approaching Nova in an inappropriate way.

I like the bit where you mentioned they are Nomads. Nice and creative! I'm excited to see where she takes you. Maybe we will cross paths someday :)

I can't tell you how happy I was to hear "Embracing the Light" as Nova's musical theme. The world needs more Ori and the Blind Forest soundtracks.

Definitely an interesting character, perhaps ours will cross one day.

Ikr?! The soundtrack is just so great! I was torn between Embracing the light and Ori, Lost in the Storm. But in the end, Embracing the Light was the better match for her character. <3

And as you got Hemsy as faceclaim I would hope too our paths will cross. I have always use of handsome men who make Nova go into raptures and giggle. (no pairing intended no worries, just da usual "The force is strong in her...but so is puberty" kinda thing)

Accord - isn't that the one with all the former pirates and smugglers? I wonder how you see ma lil' dove in this faction though :P

But thanks anyway, I gotta admit Nova is by far my most beloved character of the ones I've written so far :3

The Accord, yeah, but they all are working towards the betterment of the Galaxy. They actually protect people from pirates now!

I kinda think we should rp. Your character seems like they would offer a nice interaction with Nelies, while she's more aggressive and easily set off compared to Nova I feel like their personalities might work together. The major goal for Nelies would be redemption and stability after prison, a rehabilitation it you will.
