The Story Guide Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 These are the public profiles of the H-SoI characters, meaning what people in the H-SoI would easily be able to look up on the OpNet. These can be publicity profiles for DeVries, public servant profiles of Utopia employees, fan pages, etc. If you want to include information that would be more restricted, such as an internal profile for DeVries, psych/medical records, or even just a private OpNet diary, then include the more restricted data in a spoiler with the title indicating what the information is and who would have access to it.

z-Sean McCline Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Personal Information: Identity: Sean Christian McCline Elite name: Chaos Nicknames: Sean, SC, Mac Occupation: Elite Legal Status: Nambian Citizen (was a ward of DeVries), birth country unknown Marital Status: Umarried Known Relatives: none Allegiance(s): DeVries Physical Traits: Weight: 153 lbs Height: 6'4" Apparent age: early 20's Age: 22 DoB: July 1, 2018 Gender: Male Ethnic Background: Caucasian (very) Eye Color: Black and green Hair Color: Red Handedness: Right Appearance: There's a word for Sean's appearance: handsome. He could be a movie star if he wanted, though he's not quite attractive enough for DeVries modeling gigs - his eyes would limit his success in that field. The young man is well-built with a solid frame. He looks fairly normal, save for his eyes. He has black sclera with bright green pupil and iris. They are somewhat pretty, but their unusual appearance unsettles people, so Sean often hides them in public. In fact, the sunglasses he prefers are considered to be top sellers, so DeVries makes a nice six-figure side-profit in Sean promoting one pair of shades or another. It's only among trusted friends that he puts away the glasses and shows who he really is. Chaos's Elite costume is meant to be disorienting and off-putting. His eufiber appears to be constantly moving, the images of half-seen monsters and nightmares flowing over his body. Chaos shuts that off or makes it worse, depending on whether he's trying to intimidate or not. His Elite mask is not eufiber; it was made by DeVries Elite Industries for him. Something similar to eufiber, it appears to be the indistinct face of a man who shifts and blurs randomly. Powers, Skills, and Personality Known Powers: Chaos is chaos – his quantum exists in a state of disorder. His node can find the pattern in his chaos and impose his well upon it. Normally, Chaos presses the limits of human strength and stamina with his base abilities. He can boost these higher with ease by reordering his quantum pattern for a time, exceeding humanity with a flex of quantum muscle. And the green-eyed orphan can restructure his pattern further, push himself to go even further, though the effort exhausts him. Chaos can affect the rules of physics around him at times to get what he wants. For example, taking to the air is accomplished by altering the gravity around him in a five foot area. Objects around him lift off the ground; those people too close to him start to fly, too. Along these same lines, he can manipulate probability itself. People sometimes have bad luck around him or really good luck. He can cause breakdowns of physics in the function of bodies and machines. This latter power is the most frightening of the ones he possesses. When applied to machines, they spark, overheat and melt. When applied to humans, their organs turn inside out, their skin peels back from their muscles and cancer spontaneously erupts on their skin. It is truly horrific, and Chaos uses the power with great reluctance. Any time Chaos activates a non-permanent power, his anima banner ignites (see Complications). The only thing his chaos pattern can't explain or change is his increased charisma or appearance. He hasn't been able to alter either of these gifts and DeVries isn't sure why. He should be able to alter these as easily as his strength and hardiness, but he can't. Abilities/Special Skills: Chaos's training has built him for effectiveness in combat. He's learned tactics from DeVries instructors, as well as psychological interrogation techniques. In combat, when Chaos isn't using his Probability Corruption, he's using his fists. He's been trained to hit hard, knocking combatants on their ass. Due to his metahuman charm, Sean's also been tapped for leadership positions. His ability to work and play well with others also means he's a favorite to be the beta to a more aggressive leader. Personality: Chaos is a calm, trained warrior. He's been taught to handle the rapid changes and brutal violence of nova war – and even at twenty-two, he's already a veteran of some skirmishes. Long training and hard-fought battles have taught him to keep his outward cool, even when he's terrified inside. The constantly changing face hides his emotions, leaving an emotionless façade for the world to watch without illumination. Sean's a laid-back young man with a genial nature. He's usually got a small smile on his face when hanging out with his friends, as if just being around them is a pleasure. Those who have his esteem have his staunch support, a true friend in trouble. Sometimes, he gets a little moody; not having family clearly bothers the young man, and those novas who know who their family is will sometimes catch a flicker of sorrow from him. But usually, Sean is a charming, upbeat guy who is definitely the guy you want at your back. Background Sean was found on a battlefield during the Terat War. His parents are unknown, and since he was never claimed, are presumed dead. He was found by John "Raptor" McCline. Since it was he who had rescued the boy, John got to name him. Sean grew up aware that he was an orphan. He wasn't treated any differently from the other second generation DeVries children: he was raised in the DeVries program. Though given the chance to leave the program when he was old enough, Sean elected to stay. They were all he'd known and he literally had nowhere else to go. Raptor wasn't really his father, but the Elite kept an eye on the kid he'd found and mentored him. He's the only one who can call Sean SC without comment. This is because during an unguarded moment, Raptor explained that Sean Christian was the name of Raptor's grandfather, whom Raptor had adored. He told Sean stories about his grandfather and what a good man he was. Sean was touched by the gesture and has always had a soft spot for Raptor, even after his death at the Jovian moons. Sean also has other nicknames; one of his combat teachers nicknamed him Mac after Raptor died, and it has stuck with the less-hardassed instructors. He allows anyone to call him Mac, in honor of his fallen mentor. The hardline instructors call him Chaos in training. Most of his peers still call him Sean.

Dash Carpenter Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Personal Information: Identity: Dash Carpenter Elite name: Golden Tiger Nicknames: None Occupation: DeVries Elite Legal Status: South African & Nambian Citizen Marital Status: Unmarried Known Relatives: Lani Carpenter, Klaus "Totentanz" Kleisner Allegiance(s): DeVries Physical Traits: Weight: 148 lbs Height: 6'0" Apparent age: late teens Age: 19 Gender: Male Ethnic Background: Caucasian Eye Color: Impossibly Cobalt Blue Hair Color: Blonde Handedness: Right Appearance: By baseline standards, Dash would be fairly handsome, though he most certainly pales in comparison to full nova beauties. Fit, lithe and presenting a definite 'cool bad-boy' image, the only signs of his nova heritage are twofold: his eyes are impossibly cobalt blue, bright and deep, nearly glowing. Second, his movements are swift and smooth, to the point where sometimes the precision defies sight. His costume is pure eufiber, a pale golden bodysuit with fake claws present, extending from the fingertips. The mask appears as an authentic golden-skinned tiger's head. The image presented is quite simple and clear - the hunter is here and at work. It seems to appeal quite well to buyers of action figures since the Golden Tiger line was released. Powers, Skills, and Personality Known Powers: Dash superhumanly developed agility, combat skills, stamina, resiliency, reaction timing and the five senses. In addition, quantum permeates his bodily structure to a degree that his immune system rejects diseases and poisons - and a constant, shocking rate of regeneration from any harm. More recently has emerged what Dash designates as his 'chi power', where he draws on invisible quantum energy to augment his physical attacks. DeVries observers have noted that without quantum senses, the feats thus performed by Dash's still baseline region musculature would appear impossible. Abilities/Special Skills: Dash's training so far, coupled with his nova-level attributes, make him an excellent athlete, driver, tactician, and stealth operative. He also has developed a keen strength in observation and judging people - and can make a cool stare unnerving many. Personality: Dash is a reasonably pleasant and kind individual, though mention of either of his parents can easily cut off his good humor cleanly as a knife. This 'switch effect' works in other ways - when actively on duty in his role as a DeVries Elite, he is serious and to the point. In truth, inside he's frustrated and pained about being treated as a unwanted hassle by his biological parents, there's just little point in venting about the matter. Background Once upon a time, in April of 2020 when DeVries had achieved effective economic control over the newly terraformed Moon colony, a truly massive company-wide bash was held at Anna DeVries' lunar estate, including many old and new clients with stakes in the opportunities unfolding. Even Totentanz, at Anna's insistence, showed up at the event, though no one expected him to do much but ignore the festivities. The debauchery lasted for some time - and it came as a shocking surprise to many - including the two in question themselves - when Totentanz was found in a bedroom waking up next to DeVries escort and nova beauty Lani Carpenter. No one claimed to know how it had happened, but it did. It proved to be a topic of conversation for a few months - away from the notice of the skull-masked Elite - but just as things were dying down, tests proved Lani Carpenter was pregnant - and the father was Totentanz himself. Lani was clever enough to know her employer would want the kid born, therefore not aborting, but the vain nova pleasure girl had no interest in her child. Totentanz was more frosty, but no less pleased - and for once, Anna's moral conscience made her go to hell with the consequences and prevail upon her employee to not completely abandon his child. Five months later, Dash Carpenter was born, and it was practically the last he ever knew of his mother being around. Totentanz provided some attention, but by the point of 14, that was in the way of emotionless private combat training as Dash was en-route to becoming a full Elite by 18. Upon his sixteenth birthday, Anna gave him a mask and Bruce Sauvage of the SuperImpose design team dubbed him Golden Tiger. Totentanz was present - but for all of five minutes. Since then, Dash had reached the point of full Elite status, and a successful young nova warrior- but no nearing the parental respect he at least hoped for. Regardless, Dash moves on with his peers, being friends or on otherwise cordial terms with most DeVries second-gens with the corporation.

The Story Guide Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Public Profile for Celestia From Novapedia, your nova encyclopedia Name: Celestia Boyd Occupation: Assistant Director, Utopian Diplomatic Core; Team2Morrow Auxiliary Team Lead Legal Status: UN general citizen with no criminal record. Location: Varies, legal residence listed as the Legacy Atol in the South Central Pacific. Identity: Public Nova Name: Celestia (same as given name, but is trademarked and registered) Place of Birth: Unknown Age: Exact date unknown, legal birth date given as October 11, 2014. Apotheosis: Occurred during training for the Teen2Morrow in 2030. Height: 1.78 meters Weight: 59 kilograms Eyes: Ice blue Hair: Ice blue Distinguishing Marks: Hair and eyes, nova beauty. Approximate Power Level: Celestia is believed to be the most powerful of the Legacy Children, and one of the most powerful novas on the planet. Known Quantum Powers: Celestia is most known for her 'Starlight' powers, which include flight, healing, a defensive field, and the ability to daze or even put enemies to sleep in the heat of battle. Any use of these powers causes an aura effect around the nova, giving the impression of a field of stars floating around her; the sight is regarded as beautiful enough to be considered hypnotizing by some. Added to her Starlight powers are her obvious nova-enhanced charm and beauty. It is rumored that there is no language she cannot speak or understand, though whether this if from the application of study or some quantum ability has not been able to be verified. Abilities/Special Skills: As noted above, Celestia is a premier linguist and has been trained by the Geisha as a world class diplomat. Some speculate if she already eclipses her former mentor and current direct superior withing Utopia in her mediating skills, but no rivalry has ever been witnessed between the two. Weapons Used: Celestia does not carry weapons and all offensive quantum-based abilities she has shown have been not only non-lethal, but entirely harmless in and of themselves. Appearance and Personality: Celestia is considered in most circles to be the most attractive and charismatic woman in the world, though other nova beauties have been placed above her in popular polls or Top 10 charts during her lifetime. She dresses simply but elegantly, preferring diaphanous white dresses and scarves; she has never been seen to wear makeup and any jewelry is generally simply and made of silver. She is usually quiet and demure in social settings, able to put even the prickliest of personalities at ease with a few words and a smile. She guards her private life adamantly, refusing to comment on her relationship with Samantha Austin of DeVries other than to say that the two are 'happy when we're together'. Early Life ----------------------------------------------------------- Celestia is one of the Nova War orphans; she was around three years old at the time of the conflict and there is no official record of her birth, nor does she remember her parents. She was taken in by Athena Boyd of Utopia and raised as one of the Legacy Children on the Legacy Atol. Little else is known of her childhood, as Utopia guards access to Atol and its records to safeguard the privacy of the Legacy Children. Apotheosis (See Main Article: Apotheosis) ----------------------------------------------------------- One of the first second generation novas to experience this eruption-esque phenomenon, Celestia's powers and general quantum signature experienced a rapid expansion while training to join Teen2Morrow in the summer of 2015. The term 'apotheosis' was coined by Robert Manser, a nova reporter who interviewed Celestia about her decision to join Teen2Morrow, and then interviewed her again after word was released that her investiture would be delayed due to an unexpected 'quantum flux' in the 15 year old media darling. "Meeting her before, it was like talking to an angel. After? She was a goddess in full bloom. What happened to her, it was an apotheosis, a change from the almost mortal to the entirely divine." ~ Robert Manser, Legacies of the Nova Age Teen2Morrow (See Main Article: Teen2Morrow) ----------------------------------------------------------- Celestia served on Teen2Morrow for four years, acting as an ambassador to novas that erupted young, recruiting teen novas into Utopia, and leading, even from her early days on the team, numerous relief and aid efforts both on Earth and the Satelite Colonies including the Indigo Disaster on the Lanners Station. At the age of 19, having officially led Teen2Morrow for two years, Celestia applied for a position on Team2morrow. Team Tomorrow Auxiliary (See Main Article: T2M-Auxiliary) ----------------------------------------------------------- Rumors abound as to why Celestia was denied a position on Team2Morrow, though the official reason is that she 'as yet lacks the experience and necessary combat rating to be made a member-in-full of Utopia's premier response and front-line defense team.' Many sources point instead to the rather public animosity between the young rising star of the Legacy Children and Cestus Pax, leader of Team2Morrow. Whatever the truth, Celestia was instead placed on the Auxiliary of Team2Morrow and rose quickly to become the team's leader at the tender age of 22. This placement also allowed her the time to pursue another concurrent position within Utopia. Assistant Director, Utopian Diplomatic Corps (See Main Article: Utopian Diplomatic Corps) ----------------------------------------------------------- Apprenticed directly to the Geisha, Director of the Utopian Diplomatic Corps, Celestia rose quickly through the ranks of Utopian-trained diplomats. She was a full Ambassador after only six months within the Corps - despite the time need to also train with the Team2Morrow Auxiliary - and had passed all evaluations to become a Senior Ambassador within 18 months. Shortly after her 24th birthday, the Geisha appointed her the Assistant Director of the Corps, one of three novas to hold the title and currently the youngest and least experienced. The other two are Jericho 'Journeyman' Alders and Minerva Troika. Modeling (See Main Article Nova Super Models) ----------------------------------------------------------- Celestia has model for several charity fundraiser events over the past five years. She has never accepted payment for her modeling and has stated that she never intends to: "Modelling is a hobby and a pleasure. My work with Utopia more than pays my needs, and that's enough for me." ~ Celestia Boyd (Property of JDM) Public Image (See Main Article Legacy Children) ----------------------------------------------------------- Celestia is definitely marketed by Utopia as the shining example of what the Legacy Children can do for the world, though it is ironic that their iconic 'Celestial Princess' is also a reminder of the devastating Nova War and the despicable actions of 'Project Proteus'.

Kia Mizuki Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Personal Information: Identity: Inori Soon Elite name: Nora Sun Nicknames: Sunny Occupation: DeVries Elite Legal Status: UN General Citizen; no criminal record. Marital Status: Unmarried Known Relatives: None living Allegiance: DeVries Physical Traits: Weight: 116 lbs Height: 5'4" Apparent age: 20's Age: 23 Gender: Female Ethnic Background: Asian Eye Color: Brown Hair Color: Platinum Blonde Handedness: Left Appearance: Sunny is pretty, at the top level of baseline appearance, but not quite edging past that. Her silvery-blonde hair is exotic given her Asian ethnicity, but nothing a good dye job or bleaching couldn't do. Her physique, previous to her eruption having been a bit scrawny and gangly, has become fuller and more graceful with the typical nova enhancements, but it's still on the scale of a baseline gymnast or dancer. She's fond of white or yellow colors, and glitter. She loves glitter. Glitter on her clothes, glitter applied to her skin...in her hair... It's like, her 'thing.' Which is fine, but it tends to make a little trail everywhere she goes. Known Powers: Nora can create and manipulate light, to a fairly limited extent. She has a little raw power, but lacks finesse; able to create blinding flashes and beams, but unable to separate colors easily, or make images that are more realistic than vaguely-shaped blobs of incandescence. In addition, while she's tougher than she looks, she lacks a nova-level defensive ability. This, combined with her relative inexperience, has relegated her to non-combat roles within the organization. Abilities/Special Skills: Though too vulnerable to be very useful in a fight, Nora is quite good in PR-related occupations, having a naturally optimistic demeanor that helps disarm hostility. Personality: Nora appears to be almost completely good-natured, assuming the best of everyone and seeming all but incapable of anger or hostility. She continually emphasizes upsides, always attempts cooperation over competition, and seems obsessed with doing nice things for everyone, all the time. In general this seems to satisfy a need to feel 'needed' or useful, or at least liked. Even those who have problems with her often have trouble telling her to her face...the experience of critisizing Sunny has been compared to 'kicking a kitten while it's grooming a puppy,' due to her heartfelt reactions. Though her intelligence is at least average and possibly a bit above, she has a reputation as a bit of an airhead because of her habit of making statements of obvious facts and highly superficial observations. She has said that she does this because she doesn't want to assume what other people might or might not know...but it always sounds like she's just realizing something, or is shocked to discover it. She has a phobia of being in the dark, from her experiences as a child on Invictus Station. Background It is an unusual facet of Nora's life that her eruption is not the centerpiece moment of it; though it is when everything changed. Nora is a so-called 'Invictus Orphan.' A child evacuated from the ill-fated Invictus space station when one of its residential sections lost atmosphere when a malfunction caused a tear in the hull. Her parents did not survive the event. Relocated to Earth with a settlement in a trust fund, she entered the foster care system until she turned eighteen. With her settlement money she attended school, obtained an apartment, and settled in for a long, uneventful life. After graduation from college, she took a celebretory vacation on Mars, and erupted when an otherwise ordinary power failure caused a temporary blackout in the habitat dome she was in. Her eruption was not spectacular; manifesting as a dim glow she could see by. She did not suffer headaches or other physical symptoms, and did not attract the media circus most new eruptees do. She registered at Tharsis Nova Acclimation Center, and put forward an application to DeVries shortly afterwards. Though quite 'weak' as a nova, Sunny's natural charm and disposition landed her a job in Human Resources, where she's been quite happily serving ever since.

Henry Jacobs Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Personal Information: Identity: Henry Jacobs Nicknames: Ex Nihilo Occupation: Utopia Peacekeeper Legal Status: Global Citizen Marital Status: Unmarried Known Relatives: Donna Coranis (adoptive parent/godmother) Allegiance(s): Utopia Physical Traits: Weight: 130 lbs Height: 5'11" Apparent age: Early middle aged Age: 28 Gender: Male Ethnic Background: Caucasian Eye Color: Green Hair Color: Brown Handedness: Right Appearance: By baseline standards, Henry is sub-par. His physical appearance is generally underwhelming. He is skinny, appears to have little body strength, wears geeky, thick framed, black glasses, and generally appears to fit the geek/nerd trope to a T. His powersuit, however, is very sleek. Very asthetically pleasing to look upon, it's got a very Master Chief meets Iron Man vibe to it. Multiple color schemes have been reported and photographed, including solid colors and camo, but usually it's Utopia Peacekeeper standard colors and insignia. Powers, Skills, and Personality Known Powers: Henry can control matter. He can create it from nothing (hince his nickname) and transform or destroy existing matter. Matter that he creates has no measurable difference from normal matter, and appears to not have a pre-determined lifespan. Abilities/Special Skills: Henry, while not seeming to posess super-baseline intelligence is a consumate designer. He can invent, design and create almost anything that can be imagined given enough time. Personality: Henry appears to be the shy, quiet type. He has had limited interaction with the population at large until very recently. As such, he seems to be lacking in the natural grace and decor that most novas posess. Background Henry's parents were killed during the Nova War. Since then, he has been raised by his godmother, Donna Coranis, who is also Department Head of the United Nations Utopian Research and Development Department. He was raised most of his life with limited interaction with the global population, until recently. Recently, Henry has been seen training, in earnest and dilligently with the Utopian Peacekeeper. He is easily spotted by his powersuit, which appears to be unique to him. It is of note, that since Henry has been seen training with the Peacekeepers, most of the research projects headed by his godmother have turned to military defense and personal protection in their thrust.
