Victoria "Vicki" Kent

Real Name: Vicki (Victoria Kent)

Nova Name: "Flux" (never used)

Eruption: Final exam

Nature: Judge

Allegiance: University of Toronto

Personality and Physical Description

Vicki was always the sweetheart of her high school. She was open, friendly, and accepting to all that she met, and it was this warmth that drew people to her. Unfortunately, she was also a doormat. The 'popular' clique at school liked her because she was pretty, but because she couldn't play their petty manipulation games, she often felt a bit like an outsider. Her doormat status was made worse by a domineering mother, who refused to accept Vicki's artistic talent as a valid means of 'making a living'.

Vicki was beautiful even prior to her eruption. At the beginning of the story, Vicki was 5'6", with long, dark brown hair to her shoulders, pale blue eyes, and a heart-shaped face. Her body was curvy and athletic. (Think Shiri Appleby in Roswell.) Over the course of the game, she developed glowing green eyes (a Taint), and she dyed her hair bright red. Vicki's sense of style was athletic and fashionable - and always on the cutting edge.

Pre-Game History

Origin of Powers

Vicki's powers and Mega-Attributes largely came from a desire to be better than she was. When Vicki was growing up, her mother was always very disappointed in Vicki's average-to-low grades and condescending towards Vicki's artistic prowess. And so, as Vicki developed her powers, she began to amass abilities that reinforced that really, she wasn't a disappointment as a child. Originally, her powers were Luck and Boost (Dex/Wits) - because she discovered that she was only half-done her final exam, with only five minutes left on the clock. Not only did she speed through those last five pages, but she also found out later that every answer was correct. Intuition came from her training in kung fu; Vicki was very difficult to surprise. Her node also awakened within her further capabilities to pursue her artistic dreams, and to maintain calmness even in the most harrowing of situations. Vicki always worked quite well with others, and her nova powers only furthered that ability. (She and Jake made a dynamic songwriting team prior to the collapse of the U of T Special Peoples' Program.)
