Name: Nova ‘Sparx’Species: Human
Hair & Eyes: Nova has long blonde hair. She has bright blue eyes that fade and take on gold flecking that looks like sparks when exposed to bright light. Interestingly, her vision seems to be heightened in low light visibility.
Height & Body Type: Nova stands at about 5’7” with an athletic build.
Other Physical Characteristics: Nova was seriously injured in combat, leading to the loss of her left arm from the shoulder down and some visual impairments. Her current left arm is cybernetically enhanced, and she often wears googles or glasses to help with her visual impairments.
Background: Nova is unaware of what her exact origins were, only that she has lived her entire life on Coruscant. Her earliest memories were of the Jedi Temple and that was where she was educated, and she began her training as an initiate. However, her connection to the force was limited and she was prone to outbursts of emotions, so she never even made it to the level of padawan and instead was passed on to the Jedi Medical Corps for further training and education.
She trained with the Medical Corps under the tutelage of Jedi Master Stass Allie and she excelled at her craft. She was educated as a doctor, while taught to use the force to enhance her medical skills. By the beginning of the Clone Wars (22 BBY), Nova was 19 and serving as a Junior Doctor at the Jedi Temple Medical Bay. Within 6 months of the war having begun, she volunteered to be a Clone Regiment Medical Officer, as clone medical officer numbers were proving to be inadequate to keep up with the numbers of casualties sustained.
She served at a Casualty Clearing Station for some time, always demanding to work as close to the front as possible. During this time her CCS came under a heavy barrage, and she was injured, having to be cleared out herself. She spent 6 months recovering on Coruscant before being cleared for duty once again. She’s returned to her Clone Unit (the 91st MRC) and she continues to work as close to the front as possible. Due to the ‘sparking’ effect of her impaired eyes, the troopers of her Regiment have affectionately nicknamed her ‘Sparx’.
Personality: Nova has always been a curious, adventurous person. She struggled with classroom work, preferring to be outside doing more practical training. Having grown up around the Jedi Temple she grew to value honour and integrity as core foundations to being righteous. She’s kind and generous, but she can also be confrontational and demanding. Like many serving with the Jedi, the longer the Clone Wars went on, the more she became disillusioned with the direction the Jedi were headed. Despite these reservations, she remained loyal to the order till the end.
Skills: Nova is a trained medical doctor, specializing in combat injuries and trauma. She’s also trained in the use of computer systems and can drive and/or pilot various vessels with passable skill. She has basic knowledge on psychology and pharmaceuticals.
Combat: Having served as a Military Medical Officer, Nova has undergone basic military/combat training. She has basic training in a variety of personal weapon systems. She’s also gone through the Military/Combat Officer Training Program.
Talents: Nova is Force-Sensitive. She is quite skilled at using the force for medical purposes (including to promote calming and soothing effects), but she otherwise struggles with control, likely due to a slight case of bipolar disorder and an inability to focus her mind. Nova is also a very talented singer.
Equipment: Nova usually wears the standard while Medical Corps jumpsuit while in the field. When the need to move towards the combat line, plastoid armoured plates were affixed to the standard jump suit, offering some protection against blaster fire and shrapnel. She also always has a standard Doctor’s Medical kit with her. Due to her visual impairment, she often wears dark sunglasses or goggles that display real time data from medical sensors on the lenses. Nova’s cybernetic arm contains medical sensors as well as a bio-scan device. Nova has never been known for carrying a blaster sidearm, though she is trained in their use.
