There was, in her mind, no reason to really be in as much pain throughout the night as she felt. She constantly woke up at assorted hourly intervals, where she tried to sleep earlier due to her relatively earlier classes the next morning. It was a bit of a boring night, just doing a bit of a ranked grind (and failing somewhat), and she stayed in for most of the night. No drinks, somewhat surprising for a ranked night, no night runs, no hanging out a few rooftops away listening to podcasts, no blazing down the street on her bike, only a few people in voice comms, a short stream, and a few bottles of coke. So there really wasn't too much explanation for her pain.
Groaning, as her phone was buzzing for the sixth time this morning, Alexis had to get up at this point. Or be late to her class. She could bail, probably, she knew a few people who recorded the lectures. And she could just pull the sick card. There wasn't really any reason she couldn't, but she figured she might as well go. She'd just call Ross at the shop to bail on him. He didn't really care as long as she pulled some overtime and met her due dates. She adjusted her sitting position, legs hanging off the side of her bed. She pulled her arms over her head, then turning to crack her back. That didn't entirely help the fact that she felt like she had been torn apart from the bone, then repackaged improperly and just at random, along with her head killing her. Damn. She was hoping for a little bit of a good day. The girl stood up, stretching once more to try and fix herself up.
Popping open a bottle of assorted painkillers, she pulled out the first two that matched. She just figured it was more space efficient on her desk, where she put really everything she needed, except for food. As she got her shower ready, she popped the pills in her mouth, then letting herself relax in the steaming heat of the water. It was temporarily relaxing for her, as she attempted to let all the pain flow while getting herself ready for the day. After she stepped out, however, that temporary relief was replaced with a painful reminded that today was probably going to be a long, long day.
She figured that, in the spirit of Nova, she might as well tough it through. Maybe after class go to that diner. She got herself dressed in dark jeans and a red tee, along with aligning her rings on each of her fingers properly. Fixing up her hair, she went around her apartment, double checking each bit for her morning checklist. Laptop, headphones on, pen, notebook, wallet, water, all tossed in her messenger bag. Keys and phone in pocket, headphones plugged in, and bag over her shoulder, she headed out the door of her apartment, double checking the lock. Figuring she could read it all later, she pulled all of the mail in the box into her box, before heading out.
Her apartment wasn't that far out from the campus, so she figured she might as well just walk, despite how sore she was feeling. The walk itself didn't last for too long, but considering how bad the girl was feeling, Alexis felt like it took a lot longer. When she got to the class halls, she almost got lost due to her being pretty out of it. She eventually made it to her English class, plopping down next to one of the girls she sometimes talked to in passing. She slowly pulled out her book and pen from her bag, adjusting her headphones around her neck, as she groaned towards the sky. Long day so far, and it's only been a few hours. "Shit..."
Posted. I'm curious, because eventually she might do it to the shoulder pauldrons due to the armor being slightly bland atm. If Alexis were to spraypaint or have someone else spray paint the armor, then she goes back to normal form, the next time she shifts to true would the paint still be there?

Username: NoVaLuNae “New Moon, I thought it sounded cool.”
Name: Alexis “Nova” DeLuna “When I first made my account name, people just shortened it to Nova. People in voice comms find it easier with one-two syllable names, and with some people it just stuck in the real world.” "It occurs to me now that I messed up. Eheh, oops."
Age: 19 “Fresh out of high school, is there a problem here?”
Gender: Female “I think it’s pretty obvious.”
Main: Vi “Lots of easy combos and ganks with her Q and her Ult. Insane range when you add in flash.”
Appearance: Alexis is 5’6 Her hair is naturally black, dyed that magenta/maroon combination color. She had her hair grow out, showing the black of her original hair. She has a bit of a medium athletic build, with decent curves. She has relatively pale skin, with light grey eyes. Her usual outfit changes depending on weather and occasion, though she usually has her rings on and her crescent moon necklace around her neck. Rings are always configured with three on the last three fingers on her left hand, one on her right index finger, and two thinner rings on her right middle finger. She also tends to have a pair of headphones on sometimes. “I honestly like how my hair turned out. The picture makes it seem like less is the magenta and red that it actually is."
True Appearance: In True Form, her hair shifts to mirror Vi’s undercut, her hair staying swept in the same direction. Her hair stays the same color shift as she has, though her eyes go from a grey to a brighter but light blue. As for her clothing, whatever she happens to be wearing gets covered by Vi’s armor. Minor differences, on her left shoulder pauldron is a red crescent moon spraypainted, and on her right is NV. Also, she takes more of a darker grey-gold/bronzeish color scheme with her armor and gauntlets. (Note - Those additions might be made later on in the RP, not too sure yet.) “Ah hell, I like her outfit.”
Powers:
Blast Shield - (Passive) At the start of a combat interaction, when she starts using Prana, or engages in some evasive maneuvers, Alexis charges a shield. Shield is activated by striking her opponent with one of her abilities. “Helps get in the zone of the fight. Knowing that you can take a lil extra hits.”
Vault Breaker - (Restricted in Normal Form) Alexis charges a punch which launches her in whichever direction she throws her fist. In Normal Form, the range is quite shortened, not launching her as far. In True Form, Alexis can throw her first upward at an angle to greatly increase jump height or direct enemies upward. “Mobility and hitting hard. Perfect.”
Denting Blows - (Passive) After landing two hits on a target, Alexis’s next hits quite harder, and makes her hit faster for a short burst of time. In normal form, the third hit is the only hit that she can use Excessive Force on, although for a bit longer of a charge time. Also, in Normal Form, activation of her abilities gives Alexis a slightly visible translucent aura of a much smaller version of Vi’s gauntlets. “One, Two, Three hit combo, rinse and repeat.”
Excessive Force - (Restricted in Normal Form) Alexis enhances her next hit depending on form. In Normal Form, it doesn’t punch through her opponent, having a slight knockback, only activatable on her third hit. In True Form, it acts a lot more like Vi, hitting hard and straight through her opponent. “A lil more bang for your buck, and an easy way to crack your knuckles.”
Assault and Battery - (Only True Form) Alexis charges forward, targeting one enemy to punch into the air, jumping up higher than her opponent. At the apex of launching her opponent into the air, she slams her opponent to the ground with the opposite fist. In the event she needs to keep her opponent in the air, she jumps down and leaves her opponent be. “First to the air, second to the ground, third, fourth, and fifth straight to the face.”
Personality: Being nearly fresh out of high school, Alexis has that vibe to her where she’s enjoying life as is, enjoying the freedom, enjoying being able to do things on her own. She’s driven, sometimes seems like a fighter, she aims to please, though tries to be pretty cool headed. That’s how she comes off during most circumstances, though internally just wants to have some stability, socially and economically. She tries to keep up that mask of hers, somewhat an old habit from high school when she was driven by all of the challenge, in order to try getting some friends. That also lead to her being a bit competitive, willing to take risks for some higher rewards or entertainment. Alexis likes to take challenges, and doesn’t back down much, even in person. That much tends to get her into a bit of trouble quite a bit, as it ends up making her disappointed when she can't catch up or fulfill her drive. She gets highly critical a lot. She hasn’t dealt with much consistency through her life, but since she’s gotten a job, and into college for engineering, though past this doesn’t have much in mind. Other than that, she’s honestly looking for some friends that aren’t all that bad. Recently, she's been trying to be more honest with herself and her interests, but she still enjoys looking for fun. “That’s just who I am, I like to have something to back myself. Everyone deserves their moments to love something.”
Short Biography: Alexis has been relatively bouncy when it comes to where she had been living, she moved between the coasts up until high school, and she’s stayed in the Northwest ever since. She lived with her father most of that time, her mother left the country after they divorced, though gave Alexis some money for when she became 18, enough to bring her half way through college. Her father did his best to support her, they were decently close, though Alexis spent a lot of time out. When it came to her social life in high school, she always tried just a bit too hard to fit into people she seemed to like for a bit. That meant challenges, a lot of things to get a bit better of a reputation. Imagine just what high schoolers consider top class, experimentation, risk taking, athleticism, and fights.
Drama constantly separated her from her groups for reasons beyond her, though for the last two years of high school she kept up that cool yet risk taking persona she keeps up now. She kept to some gamers, for the competition in a variety of games. It gave her something to work with, and to channel her furious competition into her games. Osu, League, CSGO, WoT. She found a bit more stability in online friends. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t try to impress as much, she still does, also going out for the enjoyment. Staying athletic enough, sometimes drinking with her friends, having a motorcycle, going out at night for the sights of the city, a lot of other things. For her job, she works part time at a mechanic shop somewhere downtown, and sometimes streams League along with whatever other games. “I aim to please, there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s fun, gives me some drive and thrills to seek.”
Other: "Four hits. One uppercut. One to the stomach. You to the floor. Kick to the face."
(Artist available on request, kinda feel shitty because the art is great, idk what the culture on photos is on this website. Hope this one is good, hope I conveyed the right message with the personality. Tell me if anything doesn't make sense, or if there are any issue. Did my best with this, it's been a while since I had to make a proper CS. It's been a while since I had to properly use BB, so I had fun.)
