Sam Alexander
"Nova"
Name:
Sam Alexander
Nicknames:
Buckethead, Nova kid
Gender:
Male
Age:
16
Affiliation: SHIELD
Personality: At first, Sam was a disbeliever that there was really anything out there in the world. He didn't believe in aliens or even that humans had managed to make it out into space that far besides things like the Moon or even Jupiter. But after acquiring the Nova helmet he quickly began to change his views and felt bad about calling his father a liar. Sam was quick to learn how to use his abilities, but he felt like he could do better. Nova is head strong and often things highly of himself. He is prideful and often is think to dive into thing before thinking things through or even coming up with a plan. Sam really doesn't care for team activities but he will come along as long as it's reasonable. On more than one occasion this quick thinking of his has gotten him into trouble. When he's not training he enjoys sports or even hanging out with some of his friends.
Appearance: Sam Alexander stands at six feet tall, his nova helmet is of shades of black and gold. His nova helmet has a deep black to it and a four pointed star marking his rank on it. Sam has three orb like markings on his chest that also show a part of his rank as well. Sam is about medium or so in his ranking of the Nova Corps. But he hasn't been able to really tap into his powers just yet, maybe over time Sam can unlock his true abilities as a Nova. When Sam is not inside his costume he usually wears a t-shirt and genes. He can easily fit in to his surroundings and can often be found with a skate board or back pack when he goes to school.
Family Tree:
Jesse Alexander (father)
Eva Alexander (Mother)
Kayleen Alexander (Little sister)
History: Jesse Alexander is full Xandar from a distant planet far away from Earth. Jesse was one of the lower ranked Nova corps members and often frowned upon by the higher ranked members. He tried his best to fit in but ultimately he felt out of place. At one point, Jesse ditched his life on Xandar and quickly joined the Super Novas, a rebellious team that often went to go to great lengths to cause trouble. At one point they strayed too far and got in the middle of a fight with another unknown alien ship. Their ship crashed as Jesse narrowly escaped with his own life, he was beaten up badly from the fight and found himself falling to earth and went unconscious. As he woke up at one point he found a woman standing over him who was heavily concerned for the state that she found him in. At first, Jesse didn't want to tell Eva how he was so beaten like this, he knew that she probably wouldn't believe him.
A couple of months passed as Jesse gained his strength back and Eva couldn't help but notice Jesse's helmet. Finally he came to terms to tell her about Nova and Xandar, how his team had vanished right before him and he narrowly escaped it. Eva didn't hate him or anything but instead accepted him the way he was. Jesse seemed nice after all, so the two set aside their differences. Jesse thought Eva was incredibly kind for taking him in.
A couple of years passed and Eva found herself expecting with her first child. He was born and named Sam Alexander. Then about a year or two later, they had another child named Kayleen. But often times, Sam began to grow more and more aware at his young age that Jesse was disappearing. He thought his father could do a better job of being around than what he was doing. After growing up with hardly seeing much of his father, Sam found his father's helmet with instructions on how to use it. Almost every night Sam tried to practice with it until he got confident enough to work on it with his own. One day SHIELD appeared on Eva's door step which surprised her quite a bit, but the agents explained that they were interested in bringing Sam onto the SHIELD group to try and train to be a better hero. Sam at first wasn't so sure about it, but he decided to go knowing they probably knew just about everything and his father. No to mention he wanted to know what happened to his father, so SHIELD sounded like a pretty good deal to him, so he climbed aboard and has been there ever since. So far Sam has been apart of SHIELD for about a year now and he has seen a bit of progress with the group.
Super Powers:
Flight: As a nova, Sam is able to fly across the world and across the galaxy underneath his own power. It is said that he is able to pass light speed.
Energy Manipulation: Sam is able to concentrate from the Nova Force, into a beam or a ball and fire it from his hands. He can also use his energy to create a shield around him that lasts for a temporary amount of time. He can also use the energy as a healing method and is able to remove toxins from the body. He can also heal wounds that are usually small and minor.
Super human Strength: Sam can lift up to 20 tons with the increased force of the Nova helmet.
Super human speed: He has been able to move at high rates of speed compared to a normal human athlete.
Super human durability: Sam has the ability to withstand several on coming attacks that would normal kill or even heavily injure someone. He's been able to handle several concussive blasts and as well as relics being thrown at him from fights that he has had in the past.
Xandrian World Mind: Sam has reminants of the Xandrian World Mind in his helmet that allow him to do many feats. One of the ones that have been proven to be useful of course is provide him with an ample source of oxygen since he can't breath out in outer space. He often uses it if he's flying for long distances and he can't catch his breathe.
+Universal Translation: Sam's helmet has the ability to translate most other alien languages so they sound human to him. He can talk back towards the alien or other beings without much of a trouble.
+Cosmic Awareness: Sam seems to have some cosmic awareness of what is going on with the world. It updates him with things that are going on even when he isn't there.
+Enhanced Intellect: His helmet also gives him the ability to know about certain alien origins and cultures that are beyond Earth's. This has been helpful a lot of times.
+Hardlight Holographic Projection: Holographic projections can come from his helmet, he has been able to talk to other helmets that can tell him about their past and who their owner is.
+Cosmic Atlas: Sam has a Cosmic atlas that shows him around the galaxy. He can reach out towards other novas and see where they are in the world.
+Affiliate Recognition: Sam can also recognize other organizations or affiliation teams out there that are well known to him and the helmet.
Weaknesses:
Stubborn: Sam is often a quick thinker and usually doesn't think things through, in other words he tends to jump to conclusions and go into action before thinking of any consequences that may follow after them. This has often been many cases of his downfall.
Inexperience: Sam's inexperience with the Nova helmet has often taught him a few lessons the hard way. He will learn over time to tap it but it may take several years for Sam to understand his abilities. If he were to find another stronger Nova who could teach him it'd be a big help.
Nova Helmet: Sam's Nova helmet is the source of his powers. Without his helmet or if he looses it he pretty much is a goner if he is in a fight.
Temporary Blindness: Sam has made the mistake of taking off his helmet in mid flight and it caused him a temporary blindness. This usually lasts for an hour or two or even more sometimes. Sam usually has to be grounded when this happens.
