Part two /SOBS
Continued from PART ONE.
Personality: ...Um. She's a violent misanthropic bitch who while generally having nothing but anger and disdain for any person she meets is genuinely fascinated by people and cultures. And this is all wrapped around a massive fear of death and complexes that stem out from that. ...But that's just the nutshell version. Here's an attempt at a more complete one: God help me
Nina is an unforgiving heinous bitch who is utterly intolerable to most of the civilized world. She is a devil who thrives on violence, loves depravity, flickers between addictions to at least five or six different things at a given time (everything from cigarettes to harder drugs to a random video game to collecting things; you name it she's been an addict to it at some point), and regularly abuses people emotionally, mentally, and sometimes even physically. She has caused the destruction of entire cultures in the past, and when meeting someone more often then not finds herself fantasizing about ways she could kill them by her second conversation. She's crude, cruel, vile, and generally just the last person you want to associate with most of the time.
However, she is also a savior: her actions have saved millions, if not billions of lives. She is a a personal savior to dozens of individuals and wildly beloved by many of those same people she has saved. She is a person with serious doubts, many mental issues, numerous misgivings, and deep emotional scars. Nina is both of these pictures and more, a complex individual who has grown up to be a mass of dysfunctional contradictions as a result of a very long and hard life.
At first glance, Nina will often not make sense to people who observe her, of if she does it will be that she is basically a huge bitch. She's confident and abrasive, often seemingly dismissing things that others say to her or, sometimes, directly disproving them. However, at the same time, she will also "coach" people. She will do it by pushing her worldview on them, to be sure, but she will to to reinforce people and make them become better than what they are (albeit by her standards. In a way she's like a very abusive mother, in that respect. This is not to say, however, that she wants nor will even accept people trying to return the favor. She never will appear to listen to people should they scold her or give her advice and even if she does it's a vague acknowledgment that she will certainly never thank anyone for. Frankly, in her mind, 90% of the time she knows better than the other party (often simply by token of being older) and if they might know more than her on one minor detail it's certainly nothing she ever needs to give a sincere thanks for you.
She comes off as a loner and a vicious one at that: it can frankly be alarming how often casual threats of violence can come up when one is conversing with Nina Parker. She'll complain and she'll threaten and verbally abuse and generally just work up a very strong bark, even if it's usually so deadpan and light that her barking isn't very loud. But don't let the fact that she barks so much fool you: her bite is much, much worse. While she rarely acts on her casual threats unless someone pushes things further than she's willing to tolerate, when Nina is put into a position where she's willing to resort to violence, it will be a messy and often cruel affair. This is not to say, however, that she resists violence: if anything, Nina revels in the idea of bloodshed and carnage. Given the choice of a diplomatic answer and blowing someone's brains out, if she was given the choice in an "ideal" world, Nina would almost always blow someone's brains out. However, she is also cognitively aware how bad this looks to the cultured world and as such the full extent of her depravity and temper are rarely on the surface.
He temper as actually important to note here though: while by no means is Nina well-adjusted, she also is not one to loose her cool if she can't help it (unless she feels the situation calls for it). While arguably insane (something she will readily admit to) she is a horrifyingly rational sort of sane. Her temper's fuse is very short, but most of the time it's dud. Is she angry and hateful almost all the time? You betcha. Do people make he want to go around killing people a lot of the time? Oh yeah, totally. But most (98%, probably) of the time Nina pushes back her gut instinct to fly off the handle and (attempt to) kill someone for being stupid or annoying and instead settles for forming a growing grudge against them. But this isn't a unique thing: Nina has grudges against everyone. The person she is closest to in the whole damn universe (Fergan Godwyn) she will openly tell you she owes several bullets in the skull for. This doesn't mean she ever intends to act on these tabs of things they "deserve," but she does keep them in mind. Should they ever do something she is unable to "forgive" (read: ignore) she can and will go out of her way to let out her pent up hatred on them.
However, this brings us to another important point: Nina does not believe in forgiveness. She does not think that one should ever let someone off the hook for the actions they have done, and instead they need to always bear the responsibility. That said, she does not often hold the same value of "responsibility" that other people might have. Nina has done some horrible things in her time, but does she feel bad for any of them? Not really. Instead, she wears that she has done these things as something like a badge. She doesn't expect forgiveness for them and will even accept people trying to punish or revenge upon her for them: she'd certainly find it justified for them to do that. It does not mean, however, that she will accept their intentions. Nina's worldview is brutal and shockingly simple: if you failed (read: if you died) then you deserved to fail, or perhaps deserved to die. Might makes the right, be is a diplomatic, physical, economic, or any other sort of "might." The ones who come out on top are the ones who deserved to be there. Sure, that means people can and will try to topple them, but that's a natural order in effect, so that's unusual either. Thus, Nina rarely if ever believes in a cause.
Despite not having a cause that she fights for though, Nina often has found herself interested in other people's causes. She in fact, often has ended up fighting for them. This is because, while she is a lone wolf, Nina has a wonderlust. By now she is of course extremely cynical and will often seem like she's seen it all, but Nina can never get enough of meeting new people (even if she might end up hating them), seeing new cultures (even if she'll never respect them), or seeing new places. She likes to watch things change, and seeing how people or governments go through phases is something of key interest to her. Sure she might be a misanthropic cynic and sure she might believe that almost everything goes in a cycle in which they will be born and die and fade away, often forgotten, but is is seeing these things born and seeing them grow - be them people or ideas - just to die that she has a morbid fascination with. It is for this reason - as well as making sure she lives a comfortable life style - that she even broke away from her people in the first place.
An then, of course, there are some of her greater insecurities. Nina is terrified of her own death. Being a clone of her original is something she often does not dwell on if she can't help it, because the thought that she once ceased to be is not a point she can very well accept. Unlike many immortals, Nina does not want to die, ever. If she could help it she would see the end of the universe. She doesn't believe in legacies and as noted above, she can and will find new things to do with herself. Or at least, that is her usual belief. Since joining Team 4, she's been influenced by people around her - most of all Fergan - and now thinks that perhaps a lasting legacy might not be that bad of an idea. She doesn't hold any belief she will get a life beyond her death through it, but she does think that leaving her mark somewhere might not be a bad idea. It's for this sort of logic that part of Nina wants to pursue the idea of having a child (one thing she hasn't done in all her years, at least bearing it herself) and actually raising it. Through this means, she might give a most lasting impression.
The numerous gaps in her memory also are a major blow for her. In part because she's a clone and in part because she's she's just so old, her long term memory is shoty at best. Indeed, many of the things she knows about her own past are things she's guessed at based on the memories she does have, or things that she's heard secondhand either from other people or her own research. This bothers her deeply, though she often doesn't dwell on it or, certainly, tell this to other people. This is unique, however: Nina is a surprisingly open and honest person with many subjects, assuming you're talking to the "real" her. The "real" Nina will be perfectly willing to tell you about how she's divulged state secrets or about how she's done or will do different things in the past or future. She'll tell you a lot of her surface emotions and even hint at some of her insecurities. However, the key things she doesn't tell people are by omission: her fears about her memories, her time on the Voidworld with Sor'jin, and of course her aspirations of motherhood. These three things all present a distinct "weakness" that she doesn't want to be exposed to people, due to the paranoia which naturally comes out of her worldview.
It's because of a combination of many of her more positive traits and her own complexes that Nina also has a, if not softer, a more "human" side. This is most obvious with her team and the other people on the CSS-Krugar II: Valentine truly coined it when she said that Nina was the "mother" of the group to go along with Fergan's "father." She's not the best "parent;" she regularly teases and crushes the spirits of the people she is looking after. However, even as she is doing this, it is often to better them. The harsh reprimand she has or the mind games she plays in her head, at least, will make them better and stronger people in the long run. She is possessive of them to the point of violence at times: if anyone is harming them, who cares that's their problem but if someone is trying to take one of her crew away (be is a job transfer, killing them, kidnapping, hell even dating she doesn't approve of) they better watch out because Nina will be there like a hawk. This is because once Nina gets comfortable with someone - and this is a rare thing, it has only happened a handful of times - she latches on to them. She becomes all but dependent on them, even if she would never say this or even, if she can help it, show it. This likely falls back to her time as Sor'jin's slave, but the result is that she is a lot like Dr. Cox in this respect is that one abusive friend who while they don't show it, you know she probably loves you. Maybe.
So who is Nina Parker? Despite all that's said above, this is still debatable. This description probably closest captures the "real" Nina, but in part because of her ability and in part because of how many different people she's lived as, any number of personality traits could be added on or flare up at unexpected times. She could be outright flirty with one person and she could be more caring with the next one. She could perhaps be more "gentle" or perhaps even more angry based on her mood. She could find some things humorous one day that she might not the next. Some of these changes are intentional, but most of them, in fact, are not. While she does get an amount of perverse pleasure in changing who she is from time to time (usually by inventing a whole new person to become), while she's being the "real" her, new traits will often pop up unbidden as a result to a half-recalled memory to a similar person or moment. She might call herself a "monster" along with the rest of her people (for she still does identify as being a Vak'nasul), but in reality the best description is that probably that she is an extremely disturbed individual who tries hard to keep the mess that is her own mind together.
so in a nutshell she's a female Gregory House who happens to be a soldier instead of a doctor
Strengths:
For more on many of her powers, see here, where I've explained her abilities.
Physical
• Nina has a battle-hardened body that the keeps in tip-top shape. She is strong, muscular, flexible, and is generally extremely physically fit in any way possible.
• Besides all of her work to keep her body in shape, she also has trained her morphic ability. While usually used by other Bremelith to disguise their whole body, Nina has long since mastered the ability to rapidly change parts of her body to be put to better use in a combat situation. IE: she might grow claws or chitin armor or scales or whatever the situation might call for in the midst of combat.
• Nina has an unearthly strong pain tolerance. Put a bullet in her shoulder? She'll ignore it. Stab her through the gut? She'll keep on trying to strangle you. Hack off an arm? She'll beat you with that same arm. So long as she has a goal and something which can let her ignore the pain, she'll keep on coming as long as it takes.
Mental
• Nina is very smart. She might not come off as it all the time, but in living so long she has amassed a lot of know-how and is very capable of thinking on her feet and problem solving in addition to all of her random trivia. So yeah, she's smart.
• Nina's skilled in a whole lot of different types of combat and is creative aside from this. In combat she can usually come up with some way to put herself in an advantageous position somehow or another. It's a benefit of experience, really.
• Her telepathic resistance? I figure this is probably the best place to put it: she's trained her mind to block out any and all psychic intrusion weaker than about an S3 Telepath... which covers like almost all telepaths outside of her canon.
Emotional
• Um.
• Err.
• Well...
• Okay honestly, Nina's only emotional strength is that for all her violent impulses and hatred and anger and all that, she keeps herself remarkably well in check. She might be pissed and spiteful and cynical most of the time, but she does keep a lid on utterly blowing her gasket most of the time. She might have a truly terrible explosion sometimes and she might be cruel most of the time, but the fuse on the true limits of her temper is very long.
Weaknesses
Physical
• For her size, Nina is often unnaturally heavy. She is strong enough to compensate for this slowing her down or anything, but it can sometimes be used against her in a situation where gravity is a factor. The reason for this excess weight is that while in a human or similarly sized form she is actually much smaller then the form she would naturally have (Vak'nasul are, after all, on average about seven to eight feet tall and she needs to keep a consistent mass when transforming)
• Even if she can and go on fighting or her daily life with terrible injuries which might have taken someone else out of the running, it does not mean that she will be fine afterwords. Through some combination of heartiness and luck, Nina has evaded death thus far (aside from that one time) but she is just as capable of dying or passing out from blood loss of anyone else.
• While she can use guns and other such things (hell, she is from a scifi series), as part of a personal challenge to herself, given the choice Nina will go into combat with just her own body and a Voidblade. Thus, at least in canon (this might be less of an issue in Luceti, where things like plasma rifles are uncommon) Nina tends to go into things decidedly under-equipped.
Mental
• Her memories are a mess. Her long-term memory is so spotty that more often than not much of what she "remembers" about her history she's "remembered" by learning it secondhand. (IE: someone told her something she's done and that is what counts as her memories.)
• Nina is very, very scared of death. While this can sometimes work to her benefit depending on how you look at it - she'll go to any lengths to make sure that she doesn't die, after all - it can also serve as weakness. While she can come off as reckless, Nina will always hesitate at a situation she thinks can honestly kill her, and if that fails she will sacrifice anything in order to survive, even if she might regret it later. She's basically the ultimate anti-self-sacrifice.
• Her telekinesis is very limited. It only works within a range of about three meters period, and she needs to be touching something to even think about manipulating it's structure. This is important to consider because, for a Vak'nasul, this is very weak. It means she can't rely on this ability nearly as much as she might like and as a result is wary to even attempt to rely on. So basically despite having psychic powers, she doesn't use them very much.
Emotional
• Well uh, what isn't a weakness here? Nina is abusive, deranged, and depending on the day probably borders on psychotic, even if she can hide it "well" most of the time. As opposed to making connections with people she would much rather wish people dead silently.
• Even after Nina makes connections with people, she more often then not cannot express it well; she's terrified of the idea of being close and open with people because of the idea that she might become dependent even though she usually is anyway
• Nina's angry almost all the time. This might seem like a shallow point, but he blood pressure is high and as a result of both of these factors she might end up "seeing red" in a situation where someone else might be cool. She tries to keep her temper under control, but hey, hatred can do funny things sometimes.
• Nina does not have healthy emotional outlets. She bottles anything that bothers her up, and even when she lets things out, it is rarely in a productive manner. Though the fuse for her to truly explode is quite long, if she ever did it would be a massive meltdown of emotions which would result in most likely her and anyone around her being hurt.

While she can come off as reckless, Nina will always hesitate at a situation she thinks can honestly kill her, and if that fails she will sacrifice anything in order to survive, even if she might regret it later. She's basically the ultimate anti-self-sacrifice.
• Her telekinesis is very limited. It only works within a range of about three meters period, and she needs to be touching something to even think about manipulating it's structure. This is important to consider because, for a Vak'nasul, this is very weak. It means she can't rely on this ability nearly as much as she might like and as a result is wary to even attempt to rely on. So basically despite having psychic powers, she doesn't use them very much.
Emotional
• Well uh, what isn't a weakness here? Nina is abusive, deranged, and depending on the day probably borders on psychotic, even if she can hide it "well" most of the time. As opposed to making connections with people she would much rather wish people dead silently.
• Even after Nina makes connections with people, she more often then not cannot express it well; she's terrified of the idea of being close and open with people because of the idea that she might become dependent even though she usually is anyway
• Nina's angry almost all the time. This might seem like a shallow point, but he blood pressure is high and as a result of both of these factors she might end up "seeing red" in a situation where someone else might be cool. She tries to keep her temper under control, but hey, hatred can do funny things sometimes.
• Nina does not have healthy emotional outlets. She bottles anything that bothers her up, and even when she lets things out, it is rarely in a productive manner. Though the fuse for her to truly explode is quite long, if she ever did it would be a massive meltdown of emotions which would result in most likely her and anyone around her being hurt.
