Name: Nika Novak
Codename: Vertex
Height: 5'5
Age: 19
Home: Aniana, Symkaria


Power:
Nika has the ability to imbue objects she's touching with directional momentum, creating a fixed vector along which she can move the object telekinetically. The larger/heavier the object the more effort it takes to imbue it, currently maxing out at maybe 10 pounds. Once an object is imbued it seems to be largely detached from normal physics. Wind resistance, gravity and such don't seem to effect them and allow them to move unhindered at high speeds. They are still affected by contact with other objects, although with increased hardness. An imbued toothpick might easily puncture a thin metal sheet while a diamond-tipped drill bit could punch through several inches of solid steel. She's very aware of how lethal her power can be, but that doesn't mean it's the only application.


Description:
Nika likes structure and routine. She adheres to a strict schedule she sets herself to include workouts, studies and training with very little downtime. Being assigned as Katarina's bodyguard has only added to it, so to say she has put a little too much on her plate is probably an understatement, but she's made it work. So far. She's used to uniforms, so her choice of clothing tends to be very utilitarian. She always wears a pin of the national seal of Symkarian somewhere and it's rare to catch her slumping her shoulders or relaxing. When she does let her hair down it tends to be in private. When she's focused she can come across as a little cold, but she's not mean, just under a lot of pressure to perform. On the upside, when she does smile it's genuine. She has blue eyes and chestnut-brown hair she tends to keep in a ponytail.


Backstory:
Nika is from Symkaria and proudly so. When she was young her father died in the latest civil war to shake the small country. Since then the government has recovered, in no small part thanks to the current ruling royal family and as a result Nika is fiercely loyal to them. So much that when her mutant power surfaced it did not take much convincing for her to join the military academy. Since Symkaria's population is relatively small, mutants are relatively rare and as such expectations were high. She fulfilled almost all of them and while not necessarily intellectual she is pretty sharp in her own way. Her patriotism served her well and allowed her to flourish enough that upon her graduation she was recruited into the royal guard.

She has been trained in hand-to-hand as well as armed combat, according to the long-standing traditions of the Symkarian Royal Guard. Considering the history of the region it's the Guard who is to thank for the fact that Symkaria still has royal bloodlines that have survived war, assassinations, internal strife and sharing a border with Latveria. Now that Katarina is going to the United Kingdom to further her education, Nika has been assigned to accompany her as her body-guard, much to the chagrin of Her Royal Highness. But regardless of that Nika is determined to ensure her safety and once again the burden of responsibility is high for the enemies of Symkaria and the Royal Family are many.
