It would be an understatement to call Nova just another pretty face, he is unmistakably handsome. It isn't rare for Nova to be thought of as a model, by random bystanders on the streets. Unlike most man, Nova takes pride in his appearance, making sure it lives up to Master Cainz standards. He has short black hair that goes down to the bottom of his neck, which cause others to stare at him even more.
He has thin pink lips which always seem to be formed into a mysterious smile. His skin supports his body, being a grayish shade with a small pink tint, this is due to the fact he rarely goes outside. Nova's facial expressions and eyes always remain the same, mysterious and unreadable. His features have a certain uncanny symmetry and perfection to them, as though they were carved from stone of some kind. His limbs are long, his shoulders broad, his form laden with efficient, lean muscle. He also harbors some nasty scars on his back, which he keeps hidden from others.
He has a rather tall appearance that many people find intimidating at first sight, and at times this height gets in the way of his daily duties as a butler. His posture is perfect, Nova carries himself in such a way, you could only guess he is from some well-breed family, making every action and word he says precise, polite, and elegant. His clothing consist of a simple suit that contorts and fits to his formâblack trousers, a six button double-breasted tailcoat, and a vest. He has a cross symbol on his shirt cuffs and on his tie. He also sports a pocket watch with a chain, and a chained silver lapel pin bearing the Red X Crest. His white gloves conceal the scars of his past. He occasionally removes them, revealing black fingernails.

â Cainz || Nova will do anything to ensure Cainz's happiness. He will even become a lowly dog for him, as long as he keeps smiling. He loves him more than words could express. Nova can't live without Cainz, he is his angel sent from heaven.
â Bitter Foods || Though he enjoys sweets, it doesn't compare to the pleasurable taste he receives from bitter things. The only exception to this rule is coffee, which he forbids himself to drink.
â Music || He enjoys the sweet melody it carries whenever he hears it. His favorite music is located in his golden pocket watch, which plays a sweet melody whenever opened. He carries it around with him everywhere he goes.
â Order/Neatness || Nova is a big stickler when it comes to tidiness, he will start cleaning up whenever he sees a mess. You could say it is one of his rare weaknesses; he just can't help it, whenever he sees a mess he gets antsy.
â Pastries || He enjoys sweets, and his favorites are pastries. He especially enjoys preparing sweets for his Master to eat.
â Apples || This is unexplained, he just has a great obsession with apples. You will always see him eating one, making people wonder if he even eats a decent meal.
â Nighttime || Nova enjoys the gentle breeze of the night, which you can't receive from the morning light. You will see him staring at the moon or taking a stroll in the park to calm himself down.
â Children || Nova has an amazing fondness for children. He sees them as innocent souls, bringing light upon the earth with their smiles. He enjoys watching them smile happily, and play free from worry. This is probably due to the fact when he was young he never had a chance to act like a "child", so he is always amazed by their pure reactions.
â Art || Nova likes the beautiful colors they give off, and the feelings they posses from the artist.
â Proper Wear || Another thing Nova most have orderly, even if it is causal wear. You will see him staring at someone, than politely fix their clothing to his standards.
âPlaying the Piano || Since Nova was little he hasn't had much experience outside, even before he became a Vampire. So he took up the piano as a hobby; it soon changed to his saving grace, before Cainz came along. He know enjoys playing the piano for Cainz's enjoyment.
â Tea || Other than water this is the only drink Nova will allow in his system.
â Flowers || He just enjoys the sweet scent they give off, when walking past them.
â Rainy Days|| Though most would believe this to be gloomy, Nova quite enjoys the crisp and cool feeling he receives from the small droplets of water. He believes they help him clear his mind,whenever he has a hard day.
â Books || Since he wasn't able to get out much as a child, he enjoyed reading books since they always took him on great adventures.
| Dislike |
â People Who Judge || He doesn't like it when people judge others just by seeing them once.
âDisrespect || He believes whoever it is, everyone deserves respect. Be them bad, good, sweet, or vicious, he sees no difference in the way you should show respect. He thinks that even the ones who hurt you deserves your respect in some way.
â Seeing Cainz get hurt || He feels responsible whenever he sees him in pain, and won't hesitate to get rid of the one who harms them. He will go to any lengths to ensure his protection.
â His Past || He still has nightmares of his past whenever he sleeps, which cause him to appear tired for a while. Until he gets in front of Cainz, than he purposely hides the fact he is exhausted.
â Mother || Though he does love her, he can still feel the wounds she inflicted upon him.
â Messes || He can't stand messes, it probably comes from the fact when he was with his mother, he always took care of the cleaning and cooking so he was just so use to cleanliness it stuck with him. Though he has an unreadable face, you still are able to see the discomfort in his eyes when looking a upon a mess. This usually leads to him wanting to clean it up.
â Pointless promises || He never makes a promise he can't keep. He believes that a pointless promise is a great sin.
â Complaining || He believes complaining never gets you anywhere. That you can always do something, and the only thing stopping you from that goal is yourself.
â Being touched || Since the time he was attacked by his mother, he has a problem with people touching him. So whenever someone touches him unannounced he tends to hit their hand away, unless your Cainz.
â Fighting || He doesn't believe in violence as a first resort, so if someone would to hit him, he would never retaliate. But if you were to hit Cainz he'll rip you to pieces.
One would believe Nova to be the type of person who is arrogant and a little bit of a player, since he seems to be someone who enjoys basking in the attention, which he earns from majority of the female and male population.Â
Unlike those baseless rumors, Nova is civil, polite, and somewhat entrancing, especially when looking into his eyes. He is tender and gentle toward man and women, always showing a simple smile even when upset. His movements are elegant and graceful, especially when he serves Master Cainz. Â
Nova is a person who treats everyone with the same respect and admiration as they deserve. Many people know of the term 'think before you speak', well that is the motto Nova lives by. He will always choose his words carefully and never insult anyone, unless they are a threat to Cainz.
Nova is a very adaptable person, he can act normal under any circumstances. He is surprisingly wise and clever, accordingly, he's unbelievably good at solving mysteries and seems to be able to always find a solution if he gives it a thought. When he speaks he says his message with as little words as possible, but grammatically correct.
Though Nova seems like a very open person, he is actually pretty mysterious. He never once mentions anything about himself or the life he used to have. Somehow he manages to stray away from those types of conversations too. Always changing the subject indirectly and discretely, in a way which no one notices. Despite everyone's limited knowledge of Nova, the only one who knows of Nova's entire past is his Master. Whenever someone else tires to discuss his past, Nova manages to avoid answering them by smiling politely and getting up to tend to Master Cainz.Â
When it comes to Cainz, Nova seems a little different personality wise. He becomes a lot more serious, and turns rather hostile to people who harm him. Nova will and can resort to deceit and manipulation when the need arises, or if Cainz requests him too. He is completely capable of turning the tides into his favor even at the worst moments.
He can be the type of person who will lie with a straight face or act like nothing happened even though he is greatly bothered by something. He can be very malicious, sarcastic, insulting, and cunning when he needs to be, willing to protect Cainz even if it means he has to become a mindless dog. Only one thing matters to Nova above all else, and that is Cainz's happiness, even if it means he has to kill every last person on earth. This isn't to say that he puts on a facade; he simply acts differently when it comes to Cainz's well being.Â
| About me/ History |
Three hundred and ninety-nine years ago, Nova grew up in a wealthy and well known family located in Virginia. His life wasn't perfect, but he would never complain. It was when Nova turned five years old that his Mother and Father separated, it was like a sudden gust of wind. Everything scattered around, leaving nothing safe. His Father had taken his brother, Nao, away from him, and Nova was to stay with his Mother. He was devastated, yet never said a single word. Since whenever he tried to say something his Mother would look at him with gentle eyes and say,"You will always be with Mommy...right?"
Nova couldn't say no for two reasons: First, he just couldn't bear to see his Mother being alone and Second, he feared what she would do if he had said no. You see Nova's Mother...had a "special sickness" called Schizophrenia: Schizophrenia is a brain disorder that affects the way a person acts, thinks, and sees the world. People with schizophrenia have an altered perception of reality, often a significant loss of contact with reality. They may see or hear things that donât exist, speak in strange or confusing ways, believe that others are trying to harm them, or feel like theyâre being constantly watched. With such a blurred line between the real and the imaginary, schizophrenia makes it difficultâeven frighteningâto negotiate the activities of daily life. In response, people with schizophrenia may withdraw from the outside world or act out in confusion and fear.
Nova had moved into a well built house probably 12 miles away from his Father's mansion so he could still visit Nao. Yet he rarely went outside as he got to experience his Mother's illness first hand. Nova never questioned his Mother's illness, he soon adapted to the wild words and abusive behavior she inflicted on him. It started off on a bad note where he would get beaten by her, as she would yell,"Monster!" This was mostly due to her seeing his eyes, so he would constantly look down when speaking to her, so she couldn't see them. After awhile Nova finally learned how to clam her down to a minimum level, or at least to the point were she would stop beating him.
She couldn't do the things normal people could, so Nova had to do them. He would clean the house everyday, since his Mother forbid him from going to school. He cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner for his Mother. He did the laundry everyday, as his mother sat quietly in a corner. He would go shopping for food or supplies. He did everything. Not even once had Nova complained about the pain he felt, he stayed silent, and whenever his father would come by to check up on him. Nova would only answer cheerily,"Mommy and I are fine."
That was his reply to everything, he never showed his true emotions. He learned to hide them, because he knew his Mother couldn't handle them. Nova was only five when all this started, at this current time, he had become accustomed to this new lifestyle, even if it wasn't the most perfect. In all honesty Nova only had one complaint, yet he kept it hidden in his heart never speaking it aloud. His Mother would sometimes start to sing this haunting song as she stared out into the distance, this would always cause nightmares for Nova , as he could remember each and every word to the melody:
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
When the blazing sun is gone,
When the nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When the nothing shines upon,
Though I know not what you are
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Nova was now eight years old, and at this time of his life he started to pursue a passion which he truly loved, playing the piano. The reason for this was because one day as he was playing the piano his Mother had come into the living room smiling. She patted his head softly and for the first time she praised him,"You are a good boy Nova. Always doing all these big things by yourself. What a good boy." That day Nova nodded until his neck felt like breaking off, he couldn't explain what he felt when he received a compliment from his Mother...it felt magnificent, he wanted to feel this again.
Since that day Nova had started learning different kinds of songs while juggling the school lessons, since he was self teaching himself. He would always look forward to his Mothers rare compliments, though on some days she wouldn't give it to him, and instead would beat him. Still he kept it bottled not letting it affect him, he covered the scars on his body whenever his Father came for a quick visit. This routine lasted for seven years, Nova hiding the scars he had received from his Mother, and lying to his Father. At this time the piano became his outlet, it was the only way to get away from the world.
Nova was now fifteen years old and since day one he had kept in contact with Nao. It seemed the years hadn't affected their relationship as brothers at all. Yet Nova 's Mother had noticed Nova leaving the house more so he could play with Nao. And when coming home he would be laughing more...for the first time he smiled happily as he worked in the house.
She feared that Nova would be taken from her only tie to reality...or was this even reality anymore. No, it isn't... this is all a dream...and you wake up from dreams...when a shock happens...right? Nova's mother turned to see her child laughing as he talked on the phone. The poor child..trapped in this dream... "Don't worry I'll wake us up...and than we can go back to the way we were...just you and me...My little Nova ".
2 months had passed since that statement, it was late at night when Nova was leaving his Father's house, as he was being driven home with Noa,"What's wrong Noa?"
He looked at Nova with a worried expression,"Are you going to be okay?"
Nova smiled happily,"Yes, we're already home. It's Mom's 38th birthday and I want to celebrate it with her."
Nao was hesitant to answer back,"...Okay, but tell me if anything goes wrong."
Nova laughed as he walked up to the front of his house, and watched Noa ride away. "Everything is-", when Nova walked into the house it was completely destroyed. He glanced around the house, broken glass scattered to the ground, furniture was torn apart, it looked as if a wild beast had come inside.
Nova ran up the stairs calling out for his Mother,"Mother. Where are you? Answer me! Mother?" Nova was frightened something had happened to his Mother, he could always find her,since she hated being alone. He thought he heard a sound down stairs, so he hurried back down the stairs to see nothing, he than ran back upstairs after checking the downstairs.
He ran across the up stairs hall, when he heard a gentle melody. It was his Mother's lullaby and it was coming from her bedroom. Nova ran in to find his Mother sitting on her bed, singing softly to herself. Nova walked toward her cautiously, but with concern, he bent down in front of her,"Mother what happened? Are you okay?" She looked down and smiled happily, her hair was in complete disarray as if it was caught in a car wheel. Her clothes were teared apart, and her eyes seemed more distant than usual. Everything was silent, as Nova's Mother stood up taking his hands in hers and started to dance with him as she repeated the song over and over again.
It felt like hours as they danced across the room,"Mother what's wrong?"
She stopped and hugged Nova,"Oh my sweet Nova...I wish we could stay in this forever...but we must wake up or everyone will get worried." Nova looked up at his Mother,"What do you mean?" Nova shoved his mother gently away, his body shaking but his eyes calm,"Mom...that is en-"
She smiled,"Let's go back...just you and me", her hands tightly curled around his neck choking him, causing Nova to gasp for air,"Moth...er?" Nova had pushed her away with all his strength, and once free he sprinted out of the room coughing, his lungs begging for air.
Nova dashed to the front door, reaching for the handle. As he twisted the knob, the door wouldn't open. His eyes grew wide,and he felt like throwing up, "My little Nova, don't run away", she said this as she walked down the stairs. Nova remembered the noise he heard while he was searching for his Mother, so it was her, she did something to the door.
He banged on the door,"Help!"
She smiled at Nova with loving eyes,"Don't worry Nova. We can go back together, back to the old times." She bent down and swiftly picking up a piece of broken glass, than continued to walk toward him with the glass in her hands, "It's okay, Nova."
Nova finally got the door unlocked,and was about to sprint outside, when his Mother grasped him by the arm and slammed him against the ground. She raised the glass stabbing Nova in the chest, causing blood to spill everywhere. Tears ran down his eyes,as he trembled in terror,"I don't...want to...go".
She smiled happily at Nova, her eyes no longer staring at Nova but something else, "Don't fret Nova, this will all be over soon. I'll be waiting there for you." Nova was losing conciseness he couldn't breath, all he could hear was that haunting lullaby as he faded from reality...
It was only months later that Nova had met Cainz, his angel sent from heaven. He quickly fell in love with him at first sight, but he wasn't what he appeared to be. Cainz was a Vampire, and by accident bit Nova, though Nova was happy to be just like Cainz, Cainz wanted to make it up to him. So when Nova turned twenty-one he formed a contract with Cainz for his soul, in exchange for him being his butler. Though in all honesty he wishes to never take Cainz soul, and live with him forever.
Since that day Nova has been his faithful butler. Nova had fallen in love with the Cainz, which is why he agreed to the contract. Their bond is stronger than love though, so strong that their Contract Seal shows each other their emotions. Like if Nova is irritated, it will show on Cainz's Seal and if it was Cainz Irritated it will show on Nova's Seal or they get the feeling of what the Seal is without looking, like a Zap feeling of what they feel. The Seal is located on their chest right where the heart is located. Their connection is unbreakable. Nova would never ever betray Cainz no matter what the reason or cause is. The only time he will betray the Cainz is if the High Royal tells him to. Other than that the Nova and him are connected. Nova would stoop low enough to eat dog crap, that is how far he would go and that is pretty far. Nova knows of the Cainz's insanity level, once insane no one can stop him not even Nova, so he helps him make his 'Dolls'. The Dolls are mostly made from live bodies, he would cut them up and take out their insides and replace them with gadgets and gizmos as if a stuffed toy with human skin.
And now their time has come to how it is now...
