[/right][/size]NOVUS, EDEN KAIYA
[/size]
Nicknames/Aliases: Ede
Mental Age: 19
Chosen Appearance: Willa Holland
Eden's clothing style can vary greatly depending on her mood. If she is feeling particularly down then most likely she will choose dark, heavy colours to show that, which coupled with a scowl at anyone she doesn't want to approach generally keeps away the majority of unwanted conversers. However, at other times she will go completely opposite with her style, choosing bright, sometimes an unusual mix of colours in an attempt to stand out and not follow the crowd. An example outfit might consist of red skinny jeans and a loose yellow shirt and converse trainers. She also tends to wear jewellery, especially necklaces and bracelets.
Sexual Orientation: Currently no particular bias either way

Dislikes:
- Large crowds
- Publicity around her due to her unusual circumstances
- Paparazzi/journalists
- Inability to see what the real world is like for real
- Sleet/hail (or "almost-snow", as she calls it)
- Overprotection of her parents
- Being ordered about
- Hearing what she's "supposed" to think as a citizen of the Net
- Security around classified files
- Not having a true identity
- Stereotypes
- Preconceptions
- Sentinels
Positive Traits:
* Outgoing
With all the publicity surrounding her, Eden quickly gained the skills of conversing easily with other people and being social... when she wanted to be. She isn't afraid to show who she really is and can be quite talkative at times.
* Intelligence
Eden has always had a natural intelligence. Always has done. It is very easy for her to pick up new things and she seeks out new knowledge of her own accord.
* Curiosity
Like with her intelligence, Eden has always been curious for as long as she can remember. The ability to pick things up easily just helped this along tenfold. If she knew there was a bit of information she didn't know, she would go to enormous efforts to discover it.
* Adventurous
Eden very much likes both exploring and excitement, leading to a love of adventure wherever it comes. A slight naivety means that she sometimes doesn't quite understand the danger involved with this.
* Focussed
When Eden gets caught up by a subject, you may not see her for days. She will go off on her own tangents, seeking out knowledge or fun, and will not look at anything else. She becomes very single-minded.
* Intuitive
Eden has quite good instincts that allow her to make mostly good decisions about areas she doesn't know, based on the large amount of knowledge she does have. It has helped her escape several nasty situations in the past.
* Passionate
This is another trait linked to her curiosity. On certain subjects that are of particular interest to Eden, she can spiel off information for hours with a receptive audience... and if the subject matter is not classified. On that occasion, she tries to keep the passion to herself.
* Loyal
Once a friend, mostly always a friend - unless you're the one to betray her. Eden values her friends massively, since she has had so many fake friends over the years who are not truly loyal to her. Although she will be suspicious of you to start with, once you have gained her trust she will be very loyal to you.
Negative Traits:
/ Rebellious
Considering all the focus put on her, it might not be too surprising that she is a little rebellious. She hates being ordered about and when she is, will often defy those orders just because she can. She will go off on her own without ever telling anyone, even her parents, again just because she can. She takes advantage of any opportunity given to her.
/ Temper
Similarly to her rebellious nature, Eden's temper is mostly caused by the publicity on her her whole life. It doesn't take too much to spark her off, but when she does lose it it isn't as obvious as you might think. She will store her anger away until she finds some way to get back at you.
/ Defiant
Once again, similar to rebellious. She will disobey orders, ignore newspaper reporters or just totally play up against them in a method to make them go away. Unfortunately, this doesn't usually work and she just ends up with reports about her "feisty nature". Eden is determined to make her own way in life, as she determines it, not anyone else.
/ Naive
Eden often underestimates the danger she might be in, with the one exception of looking at the classified files. She doesn't tell people where she's going because she thinks they have no need to know, not appreciating the danger she may be in from other people who don't like her existence and she might need protection from.
/ Vicious
This is a follow-on from Eden's temper. Her method of getting back at whoever has angered her is normally quite vicious, and they won't be forgetting it in a hurry.
/ Dishonest
Eden lies frequently to protect herself. She is well aware that if anyone found out she was looking at classified files she could end up deleted for good, and just give her enemies a decent reason for it.
/ Antisocial
Eden isn't a great fan of going out partying or meeting new people. They all seem to have so many misconceptions about her from what they've read or heard, and she'd much prefer to stay finding out more information.
/ Optimistic
Eden is positive she can discover anything she wishes with a bit of effort and perseverence, and does at least try to think the best of people... even if past experience should tell her that they will probably have all the misconceptions that everyone else does. She always focusses on the positive side of information rather than the negative - such as how she can help the Resistance, rather than the daily danger they are in.
Knowledge/Skills/Hobbies: Eden, technically being only two years old, doesn't really have any obligations she has to attend to, and as such, tends to do exactly as she wishes. That being, hacking into classified files and finding as much as she can about the Resistance. She is very intelligent and also spends much time exploring the different areas of the Net, increasing her already exponential knowledge. Another hobby that doesn't have quite as much importance to her now since discovering the Resistance, is exploring the lesser known areas of London. She took up the violin recently and can play quite well due to the large amount of practice she puts in.

Family:
Father - Adrian Kevin Novus, 29
Mother - Kim Evelyn Novus (nee Jackson), 28
Aunt - Carol Janice Jackson, 24, estranged & member of Resistance
Romantic Involvements: None currently
Birthplace: London
Server Location: London
History:
One summer just before the looming war, when Adrian was 15 and Kim 14, the pair were uploaded from different countries to the Net were the world's population was quickly disappearing. While Adrian's whole family uploaded without complaint, but Kim's younger sister Carol did not like the idea at all. She liked being human. The day before their uploading appointment came, the 10-year-old ran away.
Adrian Novus was a 20-year-old Irish photographer-in-training when he first met Kim while staying in London on an extended visit. She was a first-year student of English Literature at UCL (University College of London), working as a waitress part time to support herself. She served him, commented on one of the photos he was studying on the screen on his camera, and they never looked back.
Adrian returned to Ireland six months later with his girlfriend and introduced her to his family. It was during their short stay here that he proposed, and they married another six months after that.
Kim is generally derogatory of those who didn't want to be uploaded - a remnant of the hurt she'd felt when Carol had ran away and abandoned them - while Adrian is less vocal on the matter, but secretly disagrees. He travels a lot to get new photos of the Net, and when he got news that Eden had been born he came home immediately. It was quite a shock for both of them, and then they had to learn to deal with the publicity.
Eden herself grew up very fast due to the media attention, and with a great dislike of it and the world she had been born into. Why did she have to be the different one? Why couldn't they just let her be? So she existed... so what? So did everyone else uploaded. What did it matter that she hadn't been born on the real world?
She found it difficult to make friends, wanting to find her own identity without being influenced by anyone else and their preconceptions. Nearly everyone she met seemed to have prior ideas and motives involving her, and she didn't like it at all. She got a complex about standing out - since she was going to be in the papers all the time anyway, she'd stand out on her own, not with their help. She turned to exploring, which was where she met some of her first true friends.
In her annoyance at the Net, and curiosity about this real world she kept hearing about, she started looking into files she probably shouldn't be looking at about a year ago. Government files, protected by password and (as she looked deeper) very complex codes that made it even more difficult to navigate for the information she wanted.
In the last month or so, she has gotten so deep into these files that she is falling asleep while cutting through codes and hacking. When this happens, she gets strange dreams about this man in the real world... someone who isn't uploaded. She is completely focussed on finding out who he is... and seeing if she can somehow contact him properly. She wants to know what the real world is like...
