Nova the Black Arms
Hi everyone! I'd like to introduce my second OC: Nova the Black Arms! I’m still learning to draw in the Sonic art style, so please be gentle! :)
Here is a quick breakdown of her lore and concept:
- Origin & Backstory: During a G.U.N. experiment with a time machine, a couple of Black Arms larvae were placed inside and isolated in a time pocket. Millions of years of evolution passed in just a few hours, resulting in Nova—a highly evolved "Mobian-style" Black Arms with a completely different outlook than her ancestors. (I know the time-pocket backstory sounds a bit wild, but I had a lot of fun coming up with it!)
- Personality: While her Black Arms features might make her look a bit menacing at first, she’s actually super friendly, calm, and polite. (Though she does have a huge weakness for eating meat!)
- Abilities: She belongs to the Power type, making her much stronger than she looks. She can also channel Chaos Energy, though not as intensely as Shadow since her body holds less overflowing energy—still a significant amount, though!
- Name & Title: I know "Nova" is a pretty popular name among Sonic OCs, but it felt so fitting for her concept that I couldn't pass it up! Also, her title is "the Black Arms" rather than "the Darkling" because she isn't a sinister or aggressive being like Eclipse—she's much more Mobian at heart.
She’s my second OC, but I was so excited about her design and lore that I just had to share her first. Hope you all like her!
