Science
Working on his machines.
Doing mischief every now and then.
Dislikes:
Science being used against him: As a man of science, Nova hates it when people outdo him or turn his own inventions against him.
Overly Powerful Individuals: Individuals whose power cannot be matched even with the aid of relics or gadgets. This includes such individuals as Tirek, the queen of the changelings, Discord and many such others.
Motivation: Nova Flare is a determined Stallion because he believes he needs to learn to control his abilities. As he can't control his horn naturally what he's decided to do is build devices he can use the energy of his horn to power. At the same time he's also highly motivated to keep improving his knowledge of Engineering, so he can become the most brilliant technology expert in all of the world.
Strengths:
Engineering: An expert Engineer due to his marking, Nova is quite skilled at engineering various devices. This skill comes in handy because he builds a lot of complex gadgets, and gizmos.
Design: Nova is quite skilled at designing new gadgets and gizmos a lot.
Speed Reader: Nova is capable of reading books rather quicker than most pony can. This includes ones such as Twilight Sparkle. Though his reading is done for information, not recreation. Essentially this involves him 'skimming' for useful details and ignoring the other parts of the book. It's not quite actual 'reading' but more of skimming a book or scanning it for useful bits and pieces of info.
Weaknesses/Flaws:
Physical Strength- Not the strongest pony out there, Nova is easily overpowered when it comes to physical stuff.
Malfunctions- Sometimes his gadgets malfunction.
Surges- The energy in his horn surges. Recently it's become more powerful. This sometimes results in unpredictable incidents. Sometimes it creates blinding explosions of light, or randomly teleports him, or does other things.
Raw Power: By far, Nova is the weakest of all the Unicorns because he can't force the power to flow when he wants it to. In short, it's impossible for him to do much with his horn 90% of the time. And the 10% when it does work, it typically doesn't do what he wants.
Control: When his power does flow he is hardly able to control what it does. Anything he does has a 69% chance of not doing what it's supposed to. For example, teleporting could drop him in a lake or something. Shooting a blast could backfire, and blast him backwards.
Fears:
Loss of Control- Nova is afraid that one day his horn's power could get out of control completely. This is his single most greatest fear presently.
Malfunctions- Nova is afraid of the malfunctions his technology had, to a level that some pony might call paranoid. He's afraid of hurting others with malfunctioning pieces of technology.
Being Exiled: Due to being dependent on other ponies to some degree for food and supplies, he's afraid of being exiled.
Overall Persona:
Nova is a workaholic who doesn't have very many friends or connections. Most of the time he has is spent in the lab working on various projects. Nova is constantly worried that his horn could hurt some pony. Paranoid about that he usually tries to warn most ponies to stay away when he's around because he's worried it might misfire. Nova's obsessed with science and is constantly working on devices he believes could enable him to control his horn better. Nova is also a pony who is a lone wolf. Most of the time he doesn't go out of his way to make friends. This is because on some level he believes he's protecting those he considers close to him by avoiding them.
Despite some of his flaws Nova pushes himself to be a better pony. Very disciplined or so it will appear he's just really hard on himself. Usually he attempts not to show emotion when around other ponies because he doesn't want to accidentally upset them. This is also because part of his problem with his horn is that when he feels strong emotions, the surges grow stronger. It's irritated him, and made him wary of gatherings of people because he's worried he might hurt them. Nova is also a pony who rarely shares his inventions with ponies unless he's 100% sure that A) said invention will not malfunction, and B) that the pony or stallion won't try to misuse his invention, or sell it as his or her own.
Nova is also very worried about the power his body naturally generates. Due to this he is constantly reading books. In addition he's also looking into other solutions, so as to cure his problem. Nova is also constantly looking for new energy sources because he knows his horn won't be enough to power some of the contraptions he has ideas for.
History/Background:
From an early age, Nova's been raised by Earth Ponies. As his real parents couldn't be found, a pair of Earth Ponies adopted him from an orphanage. Unfortunately this had some side-effects namely providing him nearly no opportunities to train. As he continued growing, at school some of the ponies mocked him. While they could shoot straight blasts with their horn, his always missed. Sometimes his blasts even malfunctioned nearly injuring other ponies. This got him expelled from the school.
By the age of twelve, Nova realized that he was a danger to anyone who was around him. Fed up with the constant humiliations by those who possessed cutie marks, and his surges he nearly ran away from home. But he stopped himself. An idea struck him one day at 13 when his power surged uncontrollably. There had to be a device capable of containing some of his excess power. A radio was tried by him as were many of the other gadgets that existed. When none were found by him, he started making a design of sorts for a storage cell. By the age of 17 he had not only gotten his cutie mark, but had completed a prototype of the Storage Cells or S-Cells as he calls them.
Recently he's started heading towards Ponyville.
Other:
As an Engineer, Nova's invented a few gadgets.
Gadgets (so far):
Storage Cells: Specialized batteries for lack of a better term. These are made to store the excess energy from his horn. Presently these are bulky and not very practical for transporting or using the energy for much. The Storage Cells could power small items likely. Due to the instability of the energy, he cannot use this to recharge his horn, unfortunately.
Horn Cover: A horn cover made out of a mix of metals. This can be put on by him and dampens his excess preventing it from being released. Unfortunately when it does come off the surges will invariably be stronger.
