NOVA
TRAITS:
Type: Alien Lifeform
Size: Medium (about 1.5 unit)
Speed: 6 units
Lift: 11
An exceptionally rare electromagnetic anomaly, the Nova were discovered when the Enjineau attempted to manipulate and store data in self-contained plasma. By encoding information onto quantum particle networks within microscopic hyper-dense neutron clusters, a new form of conscious life emerged: the Nova.
The fledgling lifeforms were given corporeal bodies in the form of mechanical regulators which contain and focus the Nova’s energy.
Nova are composed entirely of concentrated plasma housed within an integrated artificial vessel, allowing them to interact with solid matter. A sphere of energy-emitting plasma is contained at the core of their mechanical system which the Nova are able to fluctuate and alter at will. When struck with high-energy particles, the Nova are able to redirect the energy into focused externalized beams.
QUASAR:
When you make an unarmed attack with no weapon Deployed, your attack has a range of five (5) units and you may choose to have the attack deal HEAT damage. If you have taken ENERGY, HEAT, or SHOCK damage in the last round, you may instead choose to have the attack deal ENERGY damage. When you deal damage to a target in this way, you deal that damage to yourself as well.
NEBULOUS:
You are resistant to HEAT damage but vulnerable to BALLISTIC damage. In addition, if you would take ENERGY damage you instead restore that many Health Points [HP]. You cannot use drugs, slot Modifications [MOD], or be the target of Medical Implements [M-IT]. In addition, when you receive the NATURAL DEATH status, your body super-novas. All targets within two (2) units of you must succeed on a reflex Resist or take fifteen (15) ENERGY damage. You cannot be revived.
