PERSONAL
[/font][/center]PERSONAL APPEARANCE[/font]
Ouranus always had a calm beauty around her. She stands at a height of 5'6 with a weight of 115 lbs. Her frame is lean and muscular to take the form of a dancer's body. Her skin is very fair in color. She has silver hair that she lets grow out all of the way to the small of her back. Though its volume is very apparent, she never styles it. Her eyes are a bright gold in color.
For the lack of a better word, Ouranus is simplistic in her fashion sense. She finds herself usually wearing a white t-shirt and tan shorts. She typically either wears sandals or is barefoot unless she is going out on an exploration of the area. However, when she does go out to go to do her nightly singing at the club, she is known to wear something more elegant like a silver dress with a pair of silver heels. Depending on the night, she might wear a simple jet black ribbon to tie her hair into a simple ponytail. But even with her clothing style changing every now and then, she always has one thing that never changes with her: the crest of Abadon. When in normal clothes she keeps it pinned to her shirt, when she is in formal wear she wears it around her neck on a chain. The crest is silver in form, with a fist on the front of a shield and a pair of blades crossed behind the fist.

PERSONALITY[/font]
A very well known trait about Ouranus is her innate curiosity. Like her father Cyrus, Ouranus always was the quizzical child of the family when it came to exploration. Every night when she goes out to see the stars or out to the distance of Alexandria, she liked to think there was something beyond the horizon. Something that would make her mind come alive with wonder. However, looking beyond the horizon has left her unable to see what is in front of her both literally and metaphorically.
In her family, there are three types of people: the fist, the shield or the sword. The fist are the ones who usually lead into battle, the sword are the ones who charge into battle, and the shield are the ones who defend. More often than not, she is more of a shield than the other two. Though she does share traits of charging into battle or wielding the analytical mind of her father, it is the shield that she is best described as. Even if she had an opponent on the ground, she would rather let them go if it meant being able to tend the wounds of her comrades. The enemy could always be stopped in the future. But it is her team that should be the top priority. Everyone should be able to go home.
She is considered cheerful in nature. Usually smiling and laughing, there are bouts that she has a shenanigan streak a mile long. Having a strange sense of humor, she always seems to find comedy in some situations that can sometimes be inappropriate. However, she usually tries to keep herself from bursting out in laughter. The greatest sign of her kind nature is her voice whenever she sings. Though her voice is able to do different pitches, she prefers to sing more along the lines of cheerful and sweet.
However, her smile hides a beast underneath. Though she is a combatant, there is two things that she considers disgraceful: frauds and traitors. Those who hide behind masks while holding daggers behind their backs bring a level of rage that makes Ouranus appear to be a much more dangerous force. Especially when it comes to the battlefield. Everytime she attacks, a tear is shed for every family member that had died in her home when she was young.
ITEMS[/font]
Chocobo: A simple yellow colored chocobo that Ouranus had been able to find during her travels. Due to its very small stature there are times she usually lets it rest on her head.
HISTORY[/font]
Ouranus lived in Alexandria for as long as she could be able to remember. But what she would always remember most was her family. Born as the eldest of three sisters and a single brother, the Nova name had been known in the ways of the warrior. The warrior in her family being her mother Nelo. But even with warrior's blood in her veins, she found herself gazing at the skies and at the horizon with her father Cyrus. As an explorer of sorts, he taught her and her siblings the lay of Alexandria in the most peculiar ways. One such example was to make Ouranus play a round of hide and go seek to locate each of her siblings before the sun would set. In a way, it was his method of teaching her how to understand the land beneath her feet.
Her mother however was more direct than anything. She took an interest in her family's strength. Taking up wooden weapons and sparring armor, Nelo was a serious person when it came to the combat development of her children. Eventually when the time would come for the mantle to be passed, she would want them to be ready to fight. Naturally her eyes had fallen on the eldest daughter to take hold of the Nova name, if it were for the problem of her looking at the clouds. She was rough, but the talents with both hand to hand and swordsmanship was apparent. However, in order to bring the beast out of Ouranus something traumatic had to happen.
On the night of her 18th birthday, she was given the title of the Nova bloodline, the crest of Abadon and the sword that her mother wielded: the Nova blade. With these two items, Ouranus listened intently to the story of the progenitor of their bloodline. He was a man that was in both light and shadow. As she listened to the story, it seemed simple enough: sometimes the greatest monsters are not the beasts that she reads in stories. Sometimes the greatest monsters are the ones who are the most human, or those who hide behind a "mask" of sorts. As the day continued on, word passed on from her father Cyrus that something strange was going on in the distance. According to many of his notes, a mist was growing in the distance. People were acting strangely, strangely enough to force an evacuation. Nelo had been summoned to the field to aid in support, leaving Ouranus in charge of the family until her parents returned. In time however, her parents too were never seen again. Though she maintained the morale of her younger siblings, she knew in her heart that the unthinkable happened: her mother and father fell in battle.
Ouranus had to be the head of the family now with her parents both dead. However, what she didn't know was that the corruption that her father tracked was starting to come towards them. People that once considered them friends had begun to charge their home. With a heavy heart, Ouranus had given the order for all of the siblings to remain together and leave quickly. She would remain to ensure their safety. She unsheathed her mother's blade as it felt light in her hands. As the people poured into their home, she shouted to them to demand an explanation. They were friends, but it was like they never knew what her parents had done. In her eyes, they were willing to betray her family. Her eyes held a level of fury as she charged into the armed mob. With each swing of her blade, tears fell from her eyes. Tears that were filled with rage, pain and sorrow.
For what took about an hour, Ouranus felt like it was an eternity. As she fell to her knees from near exhaustion, she wondered if any of her siblings survived this madness. Staggering out her home, through blurry eyes she saw something that she never could imagine: the land was now different. The areas that she knew as a child no longer existed. Something changed the world around her, but she didn't know what it was. As she dusted herself off, she knew that there was only one thing to do: take up the knowledge of her mother and father and explore this new world and find out what was going on. Gathering what clothing and supplies she needed, the last thing she had done before leaving her home was sheath her sword and pin the crest on her chest. Not only this was the time for answers, it was time for justice to be swift.

BATTLE
[/font][/center]WEAPONRY[/font]
Nova Blade: This weapon was the trademark sword that was passed down by the heads of the Nova family for generations. The story is that the blade is centuries old and was once held by the progenitor of the Nova family: Abadon. However, there is currently no way to determine if this was the actual sword that he carried into battle. The blade itself is in the form of a longsword that is curved at the tip to allow a more capable strike. In the hilt there is a slot that allows Ouranus to put in the crest and engage her Limit break.

BREAKING LIMIT[/font]
Abadon's Spirit: Bones may break, flesh may be cut burned and a body can be obliterated flat out; however, it is the spirit that cannot be broken. The fighting spirit of Abadon was legendary. Even if he fought incredible odds, he always drew his sword and shouted out the heavens that he will not fall this day. Even he knew his body would die, his spirit would never break. This was passed down to every descendant of the Nova bloodline, and Ouranus was no exception when it was passed down from her mother Nelo. When active, the spirit of Abadon is called upon, making Ouranus almost feel like an unstoppable force. This makes her strength and defense tripled in power. However, to use this ability she must combine the crest with the sword to activate it. [lasts four posts, cooldown 15 posts]
