Janet Thorne

Estimated Power Levels:

Strength: 2

Intellect: 2

Speed: 5

Offense: 4

Defense: 4

Versatility: 5

Birth Name: Janet Thorne

Date of Birth: February 14th, 1982

Place of Origin: New York, USA

Occupation: Actress

Powers: Miss Thorne is the most beautiful woman in the world, as billions of movie-goers will attest. Little else really needs to be said, but she can also shapeshift - a talent used in many of her movies. There is evidence that she has somewhat heightened senses, perhaps as an extension of her ability to take animal (& other) forms, & is also an incredible athlete.

Background: A struggling aspiring actress, Janet Thorne was given her first big break by Masters Global Media when no other companies were interested. Mr Masters himself spotted the actress & arranged an audition for her. It was during the tension & excitement of this audition that the young actress erupted - much to her (& everyone else's) delight. Each film she's starred in has been a hit, as have many she's appeared in - even if only on-screen for a few moments. Miss Thorne's uncanny beauty transfers perfectly to the silver screen (& DVD, & OpNet, &..., etc.), unlike the incredible appearances of some other Novas. Her first famous film was a historical action-romance set in ancient Egypt called 'Goddess' in which both her good looks & shapeshifting talents were introduced to the world in the form of the cat-goddess Bast. The success of Miss Thorne's films was one of the mitigating factors in Masters International's return to profit after their huge finacial loss over the Galatea disaster.

Dr Mary Chen

Estimated Power Levels:

Strength: 2

Intellect: 7

Speed: 5

Offense: 2

Defense: 2

Versatility: 3

Birth Name:Chen Mei

Date of Birth: 5th April, 1978

Place of Origin: San Fransico, USA

Occupation: Research Scientist

Powers: Dr Chen has an amazing mind - faster than any computer, with perfect recall, & incredible insights into all manner of scientific & engineering fields. Her work is also incredibly fast - her colleagues have a hard time keeping up with either her mental or physical efforts. Beside that, she's a great beauty, but her analytical & exacting nature tends to quickly put would-be suitors off.

Background: Chen Mei was working for Masters International when the Galatea exploded. She erupted not long after - quite a quiet eruption by most standards - she went to work one day & rapidly realised that her mind was working in overdrive - the answers to problems that should have taken weeks to work out came in minutes, if not seconds. Her physical quickness developed not long after - as her body apparantly adapted to the speed of her mind, & her need to get things done. Being a loyal Masters employee who'd always been treated fairly, she saw no reason to leave the employ of MI, & was one of the minds that lead Masters' technological comeback after the Galatea incident.

Swarm

Estimated Power Levels:

Strength: 8

Intellect: 6

Speed: 6

Offense: 6

Defense: 8

Versatility: 6

Birth Name: Henry Lang

Date of Birth: September 17th, 1983

Place of Origin: Florida, USA

Occupation: Elite

Powers: Swarm has an amazing level of cellular control over his own body, which manifests as an ability to break-down into millions of insect-like component parts. He can also greatly increase his size by absorbing real insects (& possibly miscellaneous molecules) from the surrounding area. His cellular control allows him to regenerate rapidly, & makes him extremely hard to damage in any real way. An intelligent biochemistry student before his eruption, Swarm's intellect is now of a Nova level.

Background: A typical bookwormish 'geek' science-student, Henry was socially inept, & felt intellectually superior to those around him. His one love was studying insects (entomology), & he tended to study his fellow humans in a similar manner. Several restraining orders were issued against him to prevent his 'stalking' some of the prettier girls on campus, but he was universally considered a harmless, & unpleasant, 'nerd'. An accident in the bio-chemistry labs ended all that, & started Henry's new life as a Nova - with the power to stomp anyone he didn't like! Instead of choosing to work as a high-paid Nova scientist, Swarm turned his attentions to the world of the Elites - where he'd get paid to stomp people he didn't like.

Wasp

Estimated Power Levels:

Strength: 1

Intellect: 1

Speed: 6

Offense: 2

Defense: 6

Versatility: 3

Birth Name: Unknown

Date of Birth: Unknown

Place of Origin: Unknown (probably USA)

Occupation: Elite

Powers: The Wasp is a tiny woman, only a few inches tall. It's unknown whether she can resume normal size or not. Her body is covered in a chitinous armour, & she sports insect-like wings which enable her to fly. Using small spike-like 'stingers' in her arms, she can inject soft targets with a rather deadly nerve-toxin.

Background: Little is known about the Elite called the 'Wasp'. She has only ever been seen partnering Swarm, & usually acts in a scout capability, although she's been known to assassinate both guards & more prominant targets as well. By all reports she's has an attractive figure, but has yet to be seen unmasked. Although stealthy, athletic, & possessed of a certain cunning, most who've encountered the Wasp consider her somewhat of a 'ditz' in the brains department... Perhaps the greatest mystery that surrounds the Wasp is why she seems so loyal to Swarm (whom she often refers to by 'pet names', such as 'the Big Guy'), who has a universally terrible track-record with woman of all sorts. Most speculate that something about Swarm's insect-related powers clouds the Wasp's judgement.

Thor

Estimated Power Levels:

Strength: 6

Intellect: 2

Speed: 6

Offense: 7

Defense: 6

Versatility: 6

Birth Name: Unknown (he claims it's Thor Odinson)

Date of Birth: Unknown

Place of Origin: Unknown (probably a Scandinavian country)

Occupation: Elite (he'd say 'god')

Powers: Like the mythic figure he claims to be, the Elite known as Thor has incredible strength & resistance to damage, & can manipulate the weather for a variety of effects - including summoning winds to carry him through the air, calling lightning from the sky, & causing highly damaging storms over large areas. His appearance alone is enough to unnerve less stawart foes - as he looks every inch the Thundergod of Norse legend. He has a strange variety of attunement with his hammer ('Mjolnir') & armour, which experts claim are genuine Viking artifacts - true to legend, the hammer always returns to his hand. His powers appear to have an electrical component to them - an electrical field often adds to his resistance in combat, & his hurled hammer alters state to electrical energy as it travels through the air.

Background: Thor appeared on the Nova scene recently, claiming to be the Thor of legend. Armed with genuine Viking artifacts (which at least one museum claim were stolen from an archeological dig), & an impressive command of the old Norse language & legends, not to mention his Quantum powers, there are more than a few who are willing to believe him. After appearing at several European Pagan festivals, Thor made the move to the Elite arena. He claims a wish to fight 'challenging' opponents, but keen observers notice that he cashes his pay-checks just like the less 'deific' of his Elite peers...

If I reduced my quantum cost and the range of my gravitational field has changed from meters to kilometers, how do I calculate my offense?

::wink

(joking of course)

Actually I don't think I need to change anything.

since novaphiles are based on public knowledge.. ::devilangel

(really, I was joking)

Max Connors

Strength: 2

Speed: 4

Intelligence: 3

Offence: 6

Defence: 5

Versatility: 7

Birth Name: Max Connors

Nova Name:

Country of Origin: USA

Occupation: DVNTS Elite

Powers: Connors' powers revolve around his ability to duplicate the appearance and voice of any baseline as well as most Novas. It is rumoured that every cell and body part is under direct nervous control, granting him metamorphic abilities as well as enhanced Stamina and longevity. Additionally, he is an accomplished martial artist and acrobat. His considerable skills in disguise are backed up by wicked talons that Connors is able to extrude from fingers and toes.

Background: It is rumoured that Max was once a college student in a West Coast establishment, but little is known about his former baseline appearance. Witnesses report that he was suffering from extreme stress over finals before his appearances around campus became increasingly erratic. His appearance in the public eye was then noted when the DeVries Elite Shockwave uncovered him masquerading as Lance 'The Stone Badass' Stryker. The Australian Nova recruited him to work for DeVries, and the rest is history.

Will Henessie

6 Strength

3 Intelligence

7 Speed

7 Offense

6 Defense

6 Versatility

Powers: Will Henessie's powers revolve around manipulating time to a certain degree. He has the innate abilty to warp time allows him to move at breakneck speeds, channel 'feilds' which can provide him with protective barriers and allowing him to shear through almost anything. Additionally he has been known to glean instances in the future, though not by his own will, this 'ability' seems to have been caused by his bodies own deffense against the terrat Virus' infection power.

Background: William was born into wealth and oportunity, he went to the best schools but never found a true interest in study, he was content to live out the high life. Playing and dominating all manner of sports due to his grace as he was growing up he took a true shine to gymnastics.

He found gymnastics was one of the few sports that could truely chalenge him and he eventually became the captain of his highschool's competing team.

Living the high life had spoilt Will, prompting his father to ask a long time employee and friend to train Will in a kung fu based martial art, teaching Will humility and discipline.

His erruption took place at the masters party after being shot by an overzealous gunman. Will is still coming to grasp with his ascention to novahood, this has forced him to grow faster than a 19 year old rich kid typically would

Speed: 4

Offense: 6

Defense: 8

Versatility: 4

The whole things is kinda wierd cause it really doesn't reflect who is likely to win a combat.  It gives the Samurai more points than the DMD after all - and we know how that turns out  ::tongue
Your rating is better than D's. For that matter, your win/loss ratio is better as well. You are also upping your phile while Alex's hasn't changed.

Hmmm... Guy's ratio of getting attacked by allies (specifically thrown) is a lot worse though ::laugh

Offense 6

Defense 6

Versatility 6

Birth Name: Jude Mason

Nova Name: The Jaguar

Occupation: Elite mercenary

Powers: The Jaguar’s powers are primarily mental – he is gifted with preternatural reflexes, and a conscious awareness of his surroundings that extends beyond the normal five senses. These talents are combined with physical strength and toughness at the top of the baseline spectrum, impressive integration with his eufibre outfit, and superhuman coordination and skill with various articles of weaponry.

Background: Since starting to work for DeVries a year ago, Jaguar has proven great dependability and capability, moving up in the organization through a series of successful coups de force as a short-term bodyguard for high-profile clients.

Dark Matter Destroyer (Alex Green)

Strength: 6 (Previously 8)

Intelligence: 5

Speed: 3 (Previously 4)

Offense: 4 (Previously 6)

Defense: 5 (Previously 8)

Versatility: 2 (Previously 4)

Birth Name: Alex Green

Date of Birth: October 21st 1984

Country of Origin: USA

Occupation: DVNTS Elite.

Powers: Alex's primary ability is the power to transform into "Dark Matter". Alex is superhumanly strong, enduring, and resistant to injury, and transforming into the DMD multiplies these abilities considerably. Both forms can also manipulate Dark Matter in minor ways to form tools and such.

Background: Previous to his eruption, Alex was a chain smoking physics Grad student investigating dark matter for NYU. He erupted in his lab when he dropped a hammer on his foot during a blackout. Shortly afterwards he was captured by members of T2M, and then spent the next 4 months in a Project Utopia clinic. Less than a week after his release, he became involved in the 'Manhattan Sunrise' incident, where he fought an unknown nova who trapped the whole city under a dome of fire. He was heavily recruited by DeVries after he was observed to take minimal or no damage from being shot, stabbed, blown up, nerve gassed, and being hit by a power bolt that vaporized or liquefied much of a city block. Since joining DVNTS he has worked in the Korean sector and was recently involved in the Chad war. Exposed to the reality altering device at ground zero, Alex survived the event which obliterated the city but apparently has lost his link to his Dark Matter and with it the vast bulk of his powers.

Dark Matter: It is unclear what Alex's "Dark Matter" is, but it is not the predicted substance which physicists believe balances the difference between the universe's observed mass and its gravitational pull.

Here's my first pass at Slither; let me know if these seem off to anybody.

Slither

Strength 3

Intellect 3

Speed 5

Offense 6

Defense 4

Versatility 6

Birth Name: Carla Franklin

Date of Birth: September 29th 1985

Place of Origin: North Bergen, NJ

Occupation: Professional thief

Powers: Most of Slither's powers are tied to stealth and getting into places she doesn't belong, but she also has limited control over her appearance and can produce razor-sharp claws from her fingertips. However, other powers may be developing as we speak...

Background: A Jersey girl with two great passions, traditional photography and breaking & entering, young Carla Franklin lost her grip pulling a second story job, and was shocked to see her arm stretch out and stop her fast. She enjoys her powers very much and the freedom they provide, but she continues to regret her decision to become affiliated with the Mob as she tries to wriggle free of its grasp.

(edit: made a quick change based on Archer's suggestion)

Aušrinė

Strength: 9

Intelligence: 3

Speed: 4

Offense: 7

Defense: 6

Versatility: 5

Birth Name: Lorena Vasiliauskiūtė

Date of Birth: 1987

Country of Origin: Lithuania

Occupation: T2M Auxiliary

Powers: Aušrinė (pronounced Ow-shri-nay) is one of the world's most beautiful women, and she is one of the few novas who's appearance loses none of its impact when seen through photographs or on film. She is also one of the strongest individuals (man or woman) on the planet. Additionally, she is also highly resistant to damage and can heal from nearly any wound within seconds.

Background: Before she erupted Lorena Vasiliauskiūtė was a struggling female gymnast who was reaching the end of her "career", such as it had been. While she had managed to medal in a few regional competitions in her native Lithuania, she hadn't yet reached a national level of skill, let alone an Olympic level. Add to that the fact that, at twenty-one years of age, Lorena was rapidly becoming too old to compete seriously. She was also a very plain-looking young lady who was almost painfully shy, and so she had yet to attract the attention of any serious male suitors. At the rate she was going, Lorena feared she would be nothing but a dissappointment to her loving parents.

And so, with her athletic prospects dwindling, and at an age when she should have already been married off, Lorena applied for a job at the Kaunas branch of the Bank of Lithuania. Before she had a chance to begin her interview however, the bank was destroyed – with her still inside – in what was later determined to be a terrorist attack by the Teragen organization known as the Primacy. As the ceiling of the bank collapsed in on her, Lorena erupted with enough invulnerability to survive, enough strength to dig herself out of the rubble, and enough beauty to grab the attention of the world.
