Nova
From the White Wolf Wiki, the most complete White Wolf reference
Nova is a term used to identify the super powered individuals using the vast power of the Quantum in the Aberrant game line.
They differ from baselines physiologicaly with the Mazarin-Rashoud Node set between their frontal lobes. For most novas that is the limit, however through Taint and specific mutations and/or powers their physiologies can differ more from the human norm.
Novas gain powers in their moment of Eruption. This process starts in moments of immense shock, and for a few short moments allows the Nova to gain the full power of Quantum. However, the human conciousness cannot take it for long, so subconciously it creates powers that are easier for the mind to understand. Usually these powers and their effects are chosen subconciosuly in the short moments of Eruption.
The first (public) appearance of a Nova Randel Portman (the fireman from the covers of the Aberrant and the Aberrant Player's Guide books) was on March 23rd of 1998.
The Galatea Disaster was the source of the eruptions in 1998, when the focused radition blanketed Earth.
The first ProtoNova was Divis Mal who created the Galatea Disaster to quicken the evolution of humanity.
