You don't have to make an all new character, just tweak what you have so far. Go check out the new Character Archive for an idea of how you can adjust your base concept. There's only a few characters in there so far, but it should be enough for you to understand how to change Austin to better suit the setting, y'know? Big O is really helpful too, don't hesitate to ask him for advice.
Updated. What do you think?
CHARACTER SHEET
Name : Removed
Alias : Nova
Age : 16/17 Years
Gender : Female
Powers : Pyrokinetic
The ability to produce natural heat from her body.
---
1.) Creating abilities by using the flow of fire through her vains. This varies from creating pure materialized flame to throw at her opponent to unleashing large waves of fire that can be manipulated to take whatever form required.
---
2.) The second involves using an internal heat transfer to an external status, strengthening her body. The higher her body heat reaches, the more power she can dish out. This means she is more powerful the more heat her body takes in. (Skip to Weakness 1)
2.5.) Super Armor State : Flames engulf her body to materialized and dematerialize a strong armor and sword. The armor can withstand basic attacks but will break down when sustaining too much damage. The sword can cut through steel.
~
Weaknesses :
1.) Due to her requiring heat for her powers, when in a cold area, her body requires the heat inside of herself just to sustain itself. Because of this, she becomes much weaker in colder climates to the point where she can barely even move.
---
2.) She easily loses her temper which makes her irrational. This tends to resolve with her unleashing her full pyrokinetic potential and demolishing anything within reach.
---
3.) While reasonable most of the time, discovering answers to riddles is not her strong point. Her typical answer to such a thing is "Hit it with a brick till it opens".
~
Skills/abilities :
1.) PyroStrike: She can produce fire waves from her limbs during a strike. In her armor state, this can be reflected in her sword movements.
---
2.) Overheat: She can raise her body heat to extreme levels to make herself like a human torch (this is impossible if the climate is cold due to its negative effects on her body.) In this state, she takes damage overtime and burns anything within arms reach of her.
~
Personality : Reasonable and calculating most of the time. She can be seen as kind, though calmly so. When she unleashes her armor state however, she becomes erratic and less rational to the point where she can be seen as "mean" or "cruel". Afer having lost contact with Snow, Nova's become even more irrational and "cold" toward those around her. She actively pushes others away and chooses to seclude herself, often spending time alone in her room reading or on the training course.
Bio : Nova was found by Athena in New York during a building fire. A villain (nameless for now) lit the building on fire using flamethrowers attached to his arms. When Athena went to investigate, Nova could be found at the bottom of the building with one hand directed at the building and the other at her chest. The fire was being pulled from the building and seemed to be absorbed through her arm into her body. Once the fire was put out, the girl Nova unleashed an armor that covered her body and she jumped up the building from window to window, reaching the roof where the villain was.
After a short confrontation, Nova dropped back from the roof with the villain tied up. She dropped the man at the arriving police officers feet before she was approached by Athena with a request to join the newly created Titans. Nova replied to her with a simple "I suppose, since I have nothing else to do"... and she took exception to that.
Appearance : Two(Below)
1. Regular Appearance
2. Armor State
Its a good thing you said this was an update of Nova because I was going to have to ask you when was Nova EVER kind, lol. She was even snippy to Snow, and they had this weird, sexual tension going on. But I liked mean, rude Nova. She told it like it was in some cases. and it added something I can't quite put my on to the Titans.
Then again, if she was like that all the time, I doubt she would be able to remain on the team for long if she wasn't going to do anything but bark at her teammates.
Name : Austin butcher
Age : 16
Gender : male
Powers : Has Been practicing magic since he was 6, however he has only been able to use 3 types of magic which are element, weak time manipulation, and summoning spells.
Weaknesses : just an ordinary human besides his powers leaving him vulnerable.
Skills/abilities : smart, is an ok strategist.
Personality : tries to act tough but is kind on the inside and that kindness shows more of itself than his tough guy act.
Bio : He lived with his family far out into the country and had lived there for several years. One day he went out hunting and when he came back he found his family murdered. He called the police and they investigated however they couldn't find any clues to his family's murder. The very next day he met someone with some very interesting news. Apparently he knew who had killed his family. Austin quickly asked who it was and the guy whispered in his ear "Athena Justice". Austin was a little confused on who she was but the guy handed him a picture that also had her city name on it. Austin quickly thanked him and took off. The man quickly took out his phone and called someone...
"Hey boss the job is done but you still haven't told me why you had his family killed and then blame Athena for it."
"Don't you worry about that right now, Austin is a valuable resource to my cause. If he kills Athena and maybe some of her lackeys then our plan will get put into action."
"But what if he doesn't kill her?"
"Then my plans will get setback for a little bit but rest assure, the titans will be wiped out when I'm done with them."
(Please note I am going to make a character of this mysterious guy later.)
Appearance :
lol, totally messed up the above. "Nova is sort of" *correct*
Edit: Er... I don't think.. Well I mean... *sigh* to say Athena is so popular that a group has singled her out among the Titan's as a hit target seems strange. Also, the fact that the Titan's haven't been in business for very long adds to that. But it's O's job, I'm just throwing my 5c out there.
It works. Nova was one of the few characters who actually would have required an update after losing players, since there was quite a bit of plot left hanging. I'm glad you didn't just ignore it (not that I'd expect you to). Should be fine to throw her into the Archive once starry takes a look.
To be fair, we don't really know a lot about any of the "Justice" friends. Having someone coming after them could be an interesting way to dip into their backstory. Now, if he'd made a point of it being the Titans and not just Athena, I'd have more issue. Right now all the character would know is that he's after the one person and where she is.

GCS, you, should maybe discuss with Starryknight anything that involves her character(s). If you've already done so, then fine. If not, that could be a mess.
And I wasn't trying to get you to change your character. Just tidy him up a bit. But if everything in final, Austin is approved. Provided Starry is informed of anything concerning her character Athena.
In regards to the updated Nova, I can't wait to see how she interacts with Olli and Clive considering Olli wasn't a Titan when Nova left and Clive wasn't even heard of.
I'm curious about that myself. If Nova's temperamentality is still an issue, things might get rather chaotic, depending on the emotional degree. I think it will all work out, though, so I have no fear. It should prove interesting either way.
As for this mystery guy's beef with Athena, given that there's an entire two week gap in the chronology, I'd say it could fit somewhere. It shouldn't be too difficult to explain.
Also, speaking of updates, do I need to update Clive? I know I'll need to eventually add him to the archives, but how soon would I need to do that?
I don't think you need to update him so much as just post him there. He hasn't really had too much in terms of development, same as Red X. Clean up the character sheet and make it fit like the rest of them and you should be fine. I don't know if there was a deadline to it, but I don't think so.
Speaking of Red X, how's everyone feel about my portrayal of him thus far? I like to get some feedback, and it's only be a few posts, but I want to make sure I'm not letting things slip.
Originally posted by Sacred 117I'll tell you now there isn't any beef between them he simply has a plan to take place that involves her death. I'm making the mystery man's CS later if you want to know more about him.As for this mystery guy's beef with Athena, given that there's an entire two week gap in the chronology, I'd say it could fit somewhere.

Xan, you're playing Red X the way I remember him from the cartoon. I was never a comic book guy, so I can't use that as a way to judge it. But you're doing pretty good so far, cartoon-Red X-wise.
And GCS, if I were you, I wouldn't make a character sheet for my mystery character until I actually bring him into the story permanently. If he's just gonna be heard from on phone calls, there's no need for a character sheet.

Got it. Any suggestions on how I could "clean" my CS?
As for your portrayal of X, I'm with O. It's pretty much solid, and you're lining up almost perfectly with the original incarnation. I'd just like to see more of him 😛
