Character

Backstory

Aileen Ferguson was an Irish linguistics major studying in London during the Golden Era of the Nova Age, working part-time in her French stepfather's bakery to make a living. Although she wanted to make a career, she secretly wanted to be a singer and harbored a deep desire to become recognized.

Unwilling to risk her future prospects by abandoning her major for a simple passtime, she resorted to performing in the seedy nightclubs of the East End. Her voice and looks eventually captivated one particularly dangerous admirer, a known Nova serial killer who stalked her for many months before attempting to seize her for himself. An attempted kidnapping went sour and she found herself falling thirty floors into a neon billboard, but emerged from the wreckage alive- and bearing wings of light across her back. Having just had a close encounter with death and just finished her degree, she's reevaluated her life and decided to pursue her dreams.

Lessons

• Success will require coping with a full ensemble of extremely particular personalities.
• Power is irrelevant when you don't have the mindset and skills to back it up.
• Reality itself is irrelevant when you can meaningfully adjust appearances to fit your intentions.
• Risk isn't always a prelude to reward, and refusing the call of a risky venture can sometimes be a net gain when your peers cause themselves trouble.
• Heroism isn't always safe, sometimes you have to place yourself in danger in order to do the most you can for others.
• Discussions of sexuality around Alex are exercises in frustration.
• Appearances are dangerous to trust in. Beauty conceals malice, and the harmless ones are always the most dangerous.
• It's occasionally necessary to lie in order to provide everyone with a satisfactory explanation.

Equipment

Body Modifications

Pointed Ears - (They're cute; only three centimeters longer than usual and end in a point.)
Photosynthetic

The character can photosynthesize. This may, but does not always, turn the character a shade of green-a Nova's physiology can adapt melanin to photosynthesize if it has to. With sufficient water, a photosynthetic character doubles all intervals for starvation.

Chromatophores

This augmentation adds rapid color-changing and pattern-matching ability to the character, giving her +2d to all stealth rolls as long as she is either essentially naked or wearing clothing/equipment which can also blend into the surroundings. Chromatophores can be purchased twice to add a further +1d to all stealth rolls (due to faster and more precise color-matching) and the ability to display fast-moving patterns, turning the character into a living video screen.

Bioluminescence

Allows the character to selectively emit light, allowing for the use of bioluminescence for countershading (reducing stealth difficulties by 1 in brightly-lit areas) and communication by projected light patterns.

Enchanting Feature - (Unnaturally brilliant, striking blue eyes.)

The character adds +1 automatic success to all Appearance rolls-and 2 automatic successes to any attempts to track the character. Looking unique may sometimes be more trouble than it's worth.
