Nova started young, picking pockets and swindling space sailors on leave around the local spaceport. Soon that criminal career expanded into ships and deep space, meeting Clay the octopus thief in some adventure or the other.

More recently, Nova tracked down a rich planetary heiress to an orbital casino, with the idea of robbing her, but her security was too tight. Instead of that Nova ended up playing high-stakes Venus Hold'em with the heiress, who bet (and lost) her high-end skin. Keen on losing the heat, Nova reskinned into that custom-made designer body and traveled to Alpha Centauri to see Clay about a new 'business opportunity' with his security company CTRL.

Nova's current skin is a tall and slender, raven black-haired girl of impossibly good looks, clad in a fashionable catsuit, tall boots and a dainty ladylike laser in a hip holster.
