Nicolas "Captain Nova" Mclendon

[/u][/i][/ul][/div]The Happy Nerd: Nic is easily described as sunny. He always seems to have a smile on his face and knows how to make others smile. He’s a dreamer and an artist, he can often be seen drifting off into day dreams or sketching a picture. Nic is a nerd at heart, he’s played countless video games and has read countless comics, as such you can bet money that he’ll often throw out an obscure reference that still manages to make perfect sense.

The Sarcastic Goofball: Nicolas is a bit of a goofball. He is often seen acting silly and over the top or making a snarky comment often to get a smile out of others. This goofiness/snarkiness transfers seamlessly to his actions as Captain Nova. Captain Nova, being based off various super heroes is known for his witty one liners, puns, or overly dramatic speeches and poses.

The Dependable Hero: Other than being silly and happy, Nic is strong and brave, when he puts his mind to something he will make sure it happens. He’s polite and respectful to others in an attempt to prove good nature and chivalry aren't dead concepts. His biggest trait though is he is incredibly responsible, he knows how to take care of things and people.While in his super hero guise he exemplifies peace, justice and hope. He speaks with an undying confidence and hope. He does not stand for evil and will place himself in harms way in order to save an innocent or stop an evildoer. He will never kill his enemies as he thinks highly of redemption and the good in all. Often he will leave evildoers for the cops to deal with. 



The Stubborn Mule: On the downside Nic has a hard time admitting he’s wrong. He's stubborn as an ox and tends to ignore counter arguments during discussions. His stubborn nature tends to make him slightly arrogant in other matters. This arrogance leads to numerous moments where he either A) ends up with his foot in his mouth or B) ends up getting punished in a battle as Captain Nova.

Short Fused Hero: Nic also tends to get angry and frustrated easily. He doesn't know how to deal with it some of the time often having it build up causing him to break down or lash out at someone. Also if he doesn't like someone he tends to put up a happy front making him sometimes hard to read if he genuinely likes you or not.

Awkward: He isn't completely confident in his own abilities and can sometimes make a situation awkward due to this lack of confidence. He often times is over critical of himself and will try to find something wrong even in times when it's clearly unnecessary. These over critical evaluations often times frustrate those around him which only makes him feel awkward or frustrated himself. He's also been known to misread people or fail to convey his emotions which in turn creates tension.





Fear of Rejection: Nic will sometimes hold himself back from doing something or interacting with someone due the fear of rejection. This will sometimes cause him to miss out on opportunities.



Fear of Death: He ultimately fears dying and leaving his family. He would hate to have them live with his death.





Near Sightedness: Nic needs his glasses or some form of medical lens in order to be able to see clearly. His near sightedness would make a bat's vision look impressive so it is a pretty glaring weakness. His visor in his Captain Nova lens is prescription so if it cracks or breaks in battle he'll be left with seriously impaired vision.





Hemophobia: Nic feels incredibly uncomfortable around blood often distracting him if he's in battle or if he's speaking to someone, it really makes him queasy.



Secret Identity: Nic wont fight out of costume due to him wanting to keep his identity as a normal person intact. This mixes with his fear of rejection for he feels if people learn of his power they'll see him as some sort of freak or try to take him away for experimentation. As such he will only fight without his costume if it s a dire circumstance.



Lack of Skill: Nicolas doesn't really have a whole lot of skill or experience in battle. Most of his understanding comes from video games, anime, or comics. He's pretty damn sloppy.




 So, you wanna hear the origin story of the world's greatest super hero: Captain Nova? His origin didn't involve any power rings from space or radioactive spider bites. He isn't some "chosen one" and he's not the last baby of a dying race come to earth to be some savior. No, his story just involves a boy with a big heart standing up for what he believed in.

Nicolas was born and raised in Seasalt Town: a small, tightly knit, fishing town that rests on a peninsula. He had a happy life growing up. Being the middle child in a group of five kids made it so that he always had a friend nearby and plenty of love and care to go around. Seasalt Town was an ideal place to grow up due to the kindness and sense of unity the inhabitants shared. It was a happy and relaxed place.

The peace was shattered, however, when on one faithful day a vicious gang of thugs showed up at their front door.

Seeking a quick bit of zenny the gang ended up ransacking the place, despite the fact that the cheery little town of Seasalt had little to offer. The townsmen told them this of course, but the gang didn't believe them. They assumed they had hidden all their valuables from them. No matter how much they looked though they could find only a little zenny for their troubles.

Growing irritated, the gang leader ordered his men to bar the doors of the school and set it ablaze with the children inside in an attempt to teach the town a particularly heartless lesson. The town was powerless to stop him and they watched in horror as the school ignited. Feeling satisfied, the leader called his goons away and left the town to burn.

Nicolas was only ten years old at the time. It was an ordinary school day for him. He was in class taking a test when they attacked. He remembered the frightening men searching through the school and rummaging throughout the town. He remembered how scared everyone was, the fear that was plastered on his friends and teacher's faces. Mostly though, he remembered the smoke...

By the time the gang left the halls were choked with smoke and the heat of fire surrounded the school. Teachers were quickly leading students to the main exit in a chaotic attempt to escape. Within this chaos Nicolas ended up getting separated and lost from his class. While the teachers and kids ended up moving to the main exit Nicolas in his confusion and fear ended up coming to the back exit. When he reached the door however it wouldn't open. Thinking he was left behind Nicolas began to pound on the door in a panic. The desperation, worry, and stress ended up sparking something within him. The fighting spirit that lay latent in all living beings began to surge and well up within his young form. With it's power he managed to force the door off it's hinges and free himself...

With the combined help of the community the others trapped within the school were released and the fire was put out. Thankfully everyone made it out safely and there were only minor injuries that needed healing. In time, the town would rebuild the damages and return to normal.

...For the most part anyway

No one had seen the feat of strength Nicolas displayed. That scene never left his mind either. He didn't know what to think of it... On one hand, he was scared... On the other, he thought of his comic books and video games. He thought of the fantastic heroes and their amazing powers. They always stood for what was right and used their gifts to help those in need. With whatever power he had back there he could use it to be like them. He could use it to help people. He could be a hero.

After that things were different for Nic, in secret he would train himself to use this power growing stronger and better. He was inspired by the great comic book heroes he had come to know and love. He was determined to follow their morals. He wanted to be just like them, he had that power and with it came responsibility. He also knew that his family and friends could come into some sort of trouble like they faced with those thugs and he wanted to be ready to protect them should the need arise.

Many years later he eventually moved out and away from Seasalt Town. He was going to the western capital to go to their university. At least that's the what his family believed. He was also going because he felt he was ready to use his powers to help others. Though he wasn't going to do it as Nicolas McLendon. He was going to do it as the alter ego he designed.

West City is going to get a watchful eye and some extra justice. The hero of the cosmos: Captain Nova will be making his debut!

[MP3] Hyper Shooting Star Strike: Captain Nova covers himself in a dome of Ki before crashing into his target at high speeds! He follows this first strike by launching high into the air as far as he can go. As he flies up he draws more and more energy into the dome till even his form cannot be seen through the glow only to shoot straight down towards his opponent. Like a falling star he breaks through the air only to crash into his still recovering target releasing all the stored energy and momentum into a massive explosion.


[N1] Little Dipper Upper: Captain Nova stoops down into a crouch and charges ki into his fist before launching into a high powered jumping uppercut. While preforming it he tends to jump up several feet while spinning in the air. It is based off of a move in one of his favorite fighting games.

[N1] Solar Wind: Captain Nova begins the Solar Wind technique by charging a powerful bolt of golden ki into his palm. When he's charged a sufficient amount he swings his arm and turns his body lightly in an exaggerated sweeping motion. At the peak of his swing he releases the energy in the form of a powerful wave. If grounded the wave he creates travels across the ground towards his target. If airborne the wave moves like a normal projectile.

[UP2] Double Solar Wind: Captain Nova, after creating one wave of energy charges another equally powerful wave in his other hand before throwing it like the first.

[MP3]Solar Wind - Overdrive: Captain Nova covers himself in a brilliant golden aura before hurling out a Solar Wind. In the next instant Nova charges it over and over and over again by hurling a blinding amount of duplicates till his aura dissipates leaving a massive golden wave to overtake his foe. Captain Nova can aim and charge multiple Solar Winds rather than focusing on one target making it useful for attacking groups of foes at once if need be.


[N1] The Yemma Lock: Due to the combination of Bing's request for King Yemma to treat Nicolas well in the afterlife and due to Captain Nova's sloppy display against the fearsome Realigner Red: King Yemma has begrudgingly agreed to teach Nova his fearsome 'Yemma Lock.' With this move Nicolas gets behind his target and puts them in a super powered headlock! Though this move does no damage it can be used to detain anyone within 33% of Nicolas' power level for a whole turn! It can be charged to be more effective though!

Though this move does no damage it can be used to detain anyone within 66% of Nicolas' power level for a whole turn! It can be charged to be more effective though!

[UT] Secret Identity: Due to years of suppressing his power and hiding his abilities from his friends and family Nicolas has learned to suppress his ki signature entirely. This effectively lets him to pretend to be part of the background (hiding his super-heroic identity) and give no hints that there is any suppression occurring at all. Due to his unassuming nature and lack of any noticeable ki it's nearly impossible to peg Nicolas as Captain Nova.
