The Grand OC SII: The Re-OCening: Week 29: UNINTELLIGIBLE!

RE: The Grand OC SII: The Re-OCening: Week 8: SHAME!
Biography: In the distant year of 2000 a great evil arrived on planet Earth in the form of the Breakers. These diabolical aliens have torn a path of destruction through the cosmos, conquering and destroying every world that has lain in their path. There is nothing on our humble planet that can hold a candle to their terrible power. 15 years later in a world dominated by aliens only plucky teen Zeke Stardust is willing to stand up and fight for the future of humanity. Finally arriving on Earth the last remnant of Hedris, the last world conquered by the Breakers, a being known as Nova, seeks out the rebellious teen to aid him in his fight against this alien menace. Nova is a metamachine who gives up her physical form to bond with Zeke and become his armour, his weapon, his shield, essentially anything that he needs to fight this war. With Nova’s essence bound to his, Zeke rechristens himself Chaos Nova and swears to bring down the Breakers once and for all.

His fight against the Breakers lasted seven full novels during which a number of other Hedris survivors bonded with Zeke’s closest friends and enemies and eventually they managed to defeat the King of the Breakers; Lord Devestation. The books were just about popular enough to justify publication, but they were hardly the runaway success that teenage author Harry Carmichael had been hoping for.

Some thirty years later Harry has hit the big time with the widely acclaimed Lost Star series of novels. He’s all but forgotten about the terrible novels he wrote when he was a teenager when an ethereal being, glowing cyan, hovering a couple of feet above the floor and calling herself Nova shows up at his house. He thinks this is all some elaborate prank; as she explains that he is the only one who can stop the vile Breakers from enacting their nefarious schemes he tries to figure out who is responsible for this extremely poor joke and how exactly they are doing it. Then she bonds with him, merging their essences in a way that young Harry had never satisfactorily explained.

When Harry came to he found that against all plausibility he had all the powers of Chaos Nova (also, like in the books, his hair had turned slate white and couldn’t be dyed back no matter how many times he tried). He decided he would ignore the entire situation which was far too absurd to be really be happening and just get on with his life. Even as undeniable aliens started showing up at his house and challenging him to duels, he only increased his efforts to ignore the absurdity that was intruding upon his life. It was getting towards the point where his resolve to pretend none of this was happening was finally starting to crack when he was teleported away into an even more ridiculous situation.

Name: Harry Carmichael (aka Chaos Nova (Harry has never called himself that but people insist upon referring to him as such))
Gender: Male
Species: Human (also maybe Hedrean? It’s unclear)
Colour: cyan
Description: Harry’s in his late forties. He’s tall, a little overweight but not massively, with a shock of slate white hair that if left alone for long enough seems to want to stick up in ridiculous spikes. He also has a tidy moustache which has also turned white. When channelling Nova his eyes turn fully cyan, but most of the time they are an unremarkable grey. He wears thick rimmed glasses and a turtleneck sweater. He’s kind of bitter, sarcastic and irritable even when he hasn’t spent the last week or so dealing with astronomically improbable events.

Items/Abilities: Numerous and unrealistic. The most commonly used ability used in the books was to project Nova into some kind of physical form; usually a weapon, a shield, or a suit of armour. Throughout the series Chaos Nova also demonstrated; superhuman speed and strength, invisibility, flight, teleportation, telekinesis, manipulation of all the classical elements, manipulation of electricity, matter duplication, echolocation, aveskinesis, phasing and precognition. Essentially whatever superpower was convenient for that particular scene; with flimsy explainers thrown in as to why these powers couldn’t be used in other contexts.

Harry hasn’t tried using any of these powers and it’s unknown how skilled he would be at any of them.
