In the neon-drenched sprawl of Neo-Tokyo, where megacorps rule the skyline and surveillance drones patrol every alley, Nova Riot (or Nova for short) emerged from the undercity's shadows. Orphaned young in the polluted slums, she scavenged parts to build her first guitar from scrap metal, channeling rage into electrifying riffs that ignite underground clubs. Her purple mohawk and spiked gear mark her as a symbol of defiance against the suffocating regime. Nova's band, Riot Ignition, smuggles subversive lyrics via hacked broadcasts, rallying the dispossessed to spark real change. She's quick with a sneer for suits but shares her last smoke with fellow rebels, always ready for the next clash.
