Main Characters
Nova Stoick, Codename Star.
Name: Nova Stoick (formerly known as Nova Ashford)
30 | Female | 5'5 (feet) | 116 pounds
Appearance: Nova has darkblonde hair and honey coloured eyes. Due to her retina augmentation in her right eye, that eye presents as blue. From afar, it seems like regular heterochromia but to the keen eye (ha, get it?) it will be noticeable that she has a retina augmentation, though it is quite subtle aside from the colour. A transparent or almost invisible one would've been too expensive. She has several piercings in her ears with varying jewellery. Behind her right ear, there is a small augmentation visible if she puts up her hair. It works together with the retina.
Augmentation: As mentioned, Nova has a retina augmentation. This is because she is mostly deaf, the thought of the retina augmentation and the additional piece behind her ear almost negates that. Kind of like cochlear advanced. She can still actually hear a bit, too. It tells her visually the location of sound, and the source of it, or when people talk, it makes small subtitles for her. This also comes with the handy ability of immediate translation, should someone not speak English. Due to her lack of hearing, the retina also ups her vision such as ultraclear zoom. The retina connects to a small watch on her wrist, through which she can enter its settings. Her time with Voidlight has her augmentation fixed up to work even better.
Personality: Nova is a hard worker, who works more than she relaxes. If she were to relax, she'd find herself with a book, and not around humans. If she wanted to get away from her small living space, she would go outside to run (though, with the use of an advanced mask against the smog), or to one of the inside running simulator rooms in the gym of her building. She's not afraid to speak up or get feisty, and she is more of a spitfire than anything else. Though, while she doesn't quite show, her emotions and feelings run deep. The happenings a year ago had left a deep impression in her, from her narrow escape with Cosette and the raid on the Louvre, mentally Nova is shaken.
Defining Trait: Hardworking
Goal: Support her husband, research CDE as much as she can, assist Annelise in her goal
Backstory: Nova lived in a too-small loft apartment with too many plants. It helped made her small house feel more cosy and oxygenated than the smog-filled world outside of her tall windows. She shared the home with her cat and her hobbies, which are reading books. Her favourite hobby is archery, one of the more affordable sports due to its old and non-futuristic characteristics. Why touch an actual bow and arrow when you could do it in VR, right? Well, for Nova the real deal is where it's at. She grew up in a military family, and her father always taught her know how to defend herself.
In order to make a living, she applied at Voidlight for a job once she graduated from university in microbiology, thinking the company was a simple hiring agency so she could afford her home and the crippling debt her augmentation put her in. She soon rose from a simple lab tech to lead researcher due to her commitment to her work, long hours and smart thinking. Though, the loansharks she had gotten money from, to be able to get the augmentation that would allow her to be a functioning citizen, came knocking. That's why Nova didn't doubt when she got asked for a different type of project, one involving many NDAs and something to do with Dark Energy. And a hefty pay raise. And working under the Vice President people refer to as 'Dragon' she had before only ogled from afar.
However, the combination of her research and her physical capabilities are about to throw her in a new assignment altogether. One deep, deep below the water.
The happenings a year ago led to a lot of different things, among others her promotion, more secret research and a marriage to the Vice President turned President, Kai Stoick.
Skills: Knowledge of Dark Energy, yet there is so, so much more to learn. Physically fit, fast runner, extremely proficient with a bow and arrow.
Inventory: A Voidlight provided set of bow and arrows, futuristic in a way that tiny rods turn into deadly sharp arrow once activated. An earpiece connected to her behind-ear argument putting her in contact with the Voidlight assistant. A 9MM handgun strapped to her thigh. A backpack with the essentials of exploring + snacks.
Theo de Villiers
Name: Theodore Noel de Villiers (nicknames: Theo)
25 | Male | 6'3" | 184 pounds
Appearance: He's 6'3", with dark brown hair, and the dark brown eyes of his father. Fit. Often keeps his facial hair, full but short.
Occupation: Conservator-restorer at The Louvre
Personality & Backstory: Theo is what you could call a social butterfly, though the last 7 years of his life have left a permanent mark on his mental health, and the broadness of his smile. Still a social man, he went to university as planned, despite his senior year in Lycée being a fiasco. After the summer where his sisters went missing, everything went down hill. Between his parents at him, and between him and his father. His worries, or rather his grief, for his sisters made him a terrible student. Still, he got the drive because Aurélie always told him to stay in school, to become someone, instead of a guy who lives of his parent’s money. So, he got into university, following his original path; MSc Conservation for Archaeology and Museums.
He still has a good, swift talk, often found making jokes and not taking everything too seriously. He's a flirt, too, and is well aware of his good looks. Once he started in university, he finally convinced his father to let him work at the Louvre. Though, Theo thinks that may have been the result of some guilt of the divorce upcoming. He was a tourguide during his entire university period, mirroring what his father did when he first started working at the Louvre. He did his internships at other museums, and once he graduated, he started working as conservator-restorer at the Louvre, his main focus on artifacts.
He’s still very fond of his mother, essentially having chosen ‘her side’ during the divorce. It had pulled at him more than he let on. He spent his entire youth idolizing his father, and loving his mother, but didn’t realise they didn’t really love each other like he thought they did. The los of his sisters was a nail to the coffin. To this day, Theo still struggles what to make of his relationship with his parents, his status as an only child, and dealing with his father’s new spouse; Nick, a man a year younger than he himself is.
He took over Aurélie’s motorcycle once he got his license, at that is his main mode of transportation. He’s had some relationships, but Theo always ends it off once they become… attached.
Defining Trait: Extrovert
Goal: ...
Skills: Smooth talker, physically strong, spent a couple of years doing Taikwando before he got bored, extensive historical knowledge over artefacts and conservation.

When, a month ago, she was forced to say goodbye to her sister, being told she was being sent off to die, Aurélie stabbed her direct manager in the neck in a fit of rage, thinking her sister was dead. She got thrown into a cell, and abandoned all hope until the door of her cell opened once more. It took some time to get used to life outside of a cage, but when she finally started opening up, everything went wrong, and her brother god was kidnapped once more. She, and her family, set out to save him.
Yet, in order to save them all, Aurélie sacrificed her life.
