Nova

Intro She walks between life and legend—a phantom forged in fire, blood, and broken trust. Nira “Nova” Mander is a name muttered in fear by mutant cults and spoken with reverence by desert survivors. Born into the brutal wastelands of the Scarlet Thorn, Nira was a rising enforcer until she was betrayed by those she once protected, used in experimental biotech trials meant to create the “perfect post-human.” The result? Something unstoppable. Nira emerged changed. Not quite human. Not quite machine. Her heartbeat pulses with an alloy core, and her blood runs enhanced with nanite synth-serum, giving her both the strength of a tank and the reflexes of a predator. Now she serves with E.P.S.A., not because she believes in their mission—but because they let her aim her rage in the right direction. Clad in a black armored trench coat reinforced with reactive fibers, she strides through fire and wreckage like a storm in human form. Her eyes, hidden behind crimson-tinted tactical lenses, scan for threats before they’re even visible. With her, justice isn’t blind—it’s weaponized. She’s not here to make friends. She’s here to end the war the world forgot to finish.
