Nova Flux
Having narrowly escaped her humble origins in the suburbs of the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex due to strict local anti-cybernetic-enhancement laws, self-proclaimed technophiliac Nova Flux now continues her Personal System Upgrade in a safe, Pacific Northwest sanctuary enshrouded in utmost secrecy. Having metamorphosed a million times over, she plans to emerge as the dominant example of organic-cybernetic übersentience as soon as she works out a few bugs in her programming.
"Though enjoyable, to kill for sport is not always to the advantage of the Master Species." Nova says, "I must leave the occasional inferior alive to breed for future slave labor and medical experimentation. Having a few around to bring me microbrewed dark beer at my command probably wouldn't be a bad idea, either. But I really do have to stop killing off the hired help, you know? I'm working on it, I'm working on it!"
But then her eyes flicker and she shouts, "i could care less if humans are wiped out by robots..i just want darwinism to kick in SOON! ERROR! ERROR! doesnotcompute!"
When she's not holed up for months in her laboratory, she likes to roam the globe in search of spare parts, more tattoos, comic books, video games, hot robot chicks and cyborgs, more piercings, nerds, glasses, Camel filters, felines, sedans from the '30s and '40s, and more rayguns to add to her collection of approximately twenty-five! Also not averse to various forms of mischief-making and hijinx, Nova lends her talents to the geek community by helping administrate and model for the ever-saucy, world-famous Nakkidnerds.com as she's done since 2000.
"Did this cause any problems during the 1999-2000 transition?" Asks a curious Captain Tralfaz.
"I tend to get distracted easily and I find that new things strike my fancy all the time, but Y2K had no effect on my software, dummy." She tells Captain Tralfaz while singing off a few stray strands of his hair with the business end of a transparent blue raygun. "There, that's better. It wasn't messy enough."
Not only is this dynamic damsel all over the Net at places like Nakkidnerds.com, Murdergirls.com, Burningangel.com, FrictionUSA.com, EroticBPM.com, Sickchixxx.com, and FatalBeauty.com, but she's also gotten to work with some fabulous photographers such as Christine Kessler; Collin Rae; Harlan Overlike; Leroy Roper; Matt Schneider; Melvin Meltone, Jr.; Sam Potts; Scott Kosits; Tim Polecat and Mistress Persephone; Seether; Tom Hunscher; and Michael X, and she looks forward to shooting with others she's fond of like Hypnox; Lee Higgs; Amelia G and Forrest Black; and Steve Diet Goedde in the not-too-distant (if they know what's good for 'em) future!
As if this wasn't enough to keep our semi-robotic heroine busy, she also makes her own digital art. She'd like you to click on that link and enjoy it, but, more important is the answer to today's question: What are you buying her for her birthday? It's next month, so that should give you plenty of time to make it something nice.
Special thanks to Crisis from Imsogoth! for letting us use his brilliant comic book approximation of Nova Flux on our front page this week! Sure, maybe he didn't tell us it was okay, but Nova did -- and who would you be more afraid of angering, hmmm? (She's got knives and rayguns and shit!)
She's just launched her very own site, so come on down and have a look-see, won't you? It was made by tiny robots!
