Soul Gem: A 6-pointed star with each point colored a color of the rainbow and the center being white replacing his right eye's pupil
Weapons: Nebula tends to use a "Drive Blade" in battle, a massive electronic blade with immense strength. However, unlike other weapons, Nebula's isn't a summonable weapon, and he only stores it in his soul gem. This causes him to have to replace the weapon if it's broken.

• Model DB-1: A standard Drive Blade, this was used for the first few episodes. It barely had any room for modification, and was about 6 feet in length. It was destroyed by overloading when Nebula first used Overdrive.
• Model DB-2: Used for half the series, this weapon was an improved version of DB-1. Its blade was about 5 feet long in exchange for its Copy Mode and Edge Mode. Critically damaged in Chapter 29 when Nebula used it to hold back Cadence's scythe. It could still be used, but without any of its functions left.
• Model NP-1: The final version of the Drive Blade, it was created from the broken remnants of DB-2, a few chunks of Skyler's prism-like armor, and a few other mementos from the fallen magical girls, as well as Nagisa's soul gem. It retains the functions of DB-2 but its Drive capacity is highly increased, allowing it to withstand the stress of Overdrive. It also naturally breaks any barrier.

Magical Outfit: Teal adventurer outfit complete with an aquamarine cape and hood. Wears earbuds as well.
Win Ratios:

• Butter: 60%
• Alasandria: 80%
• Alasandria (With Magia): 10%
• Mami: 35%
• Kyoko: 70%
• Madoka 65%
• Sayaka: 20%
• Skyler: 55%
• Homura: 50%

Special Abilities:
Nebula's unique in the fact that as he powers up his weapon, more powers manifest, similar to ACT stands in JoJo's Bizzare Adventures.

• DRIVE BLADE PROFICIENCY: Due to Nebula being the only known user of a Drive Blade, he may be the only one who has this skill.
• WEAPON PROFICIENCY: Nebula's able to use anyone's weapon to its full capacity, and sometimes he can use the weapons better than the users themselves.
• LASERS: Nebula can emit a multipurpose laser from his right eye. This burns his energy reserves, though. Each color has a different effect.
• PRISM BURST: By firing a laser into a prism of light made by Alasandria, Nebula becomes able to use more versatile moves. Most of these are named after JoJo Stands.
• HIEROPHANT'S BARRIER: A JJBA: SDC reference to Kakyoin Noriaki and Hierophant Green. By firing a green laser into the prism, Nebula can summon up a tangle of tentacle-like light rods around a foe. The barrier allows him to sense enemy movements and can extend up to 20 meters.
• CROSSFIRE HURRICANE: Named after Magician's Red's special move. A red laser creates a burning ankh of light that smashes into the foe, hurting it a lot and burning it as well.
• CLOSE BONDS: Due to his close bond with Homura, he pairs and fights well alongside her.
• WISH: Nebula's wish enhances his strength, speed, and resilience.
• DRIVE ATTACKS: Use of voice-activated commands allows Nebula to put mass stress on his blade in exchange for a massively powerful strike. These moves require the weapon to cool off afterward EVEN IF THE ATTACK MISSES. 
• FLAME/FREEZE/SHOCK DRIVE: The classic Drive attacks, they either overheat the blade, drop its metal to subzero temperatures, or electrify it in order to deal massive damage. Overheats the cartridge.
• ASSAULT DRIVE: An energized swing of the Drive Blade that overheats the cartridge a little less than the other Drives.
• ACCEL DRIVE: The best Drive skill, it pierces armor and shields. Overheats the cartridge much more than the other Drives.
• IGNITION: Sends the Drive Blade into overdrive, nulling overheats for a short time. Unleashes the full potential of the weapon...
• OVERDRIVE: Takes the energy and modifications after Ignition to overload the Drive Blade. Causes the weapon to extend to much greater lengths and immensely charges it, allowing for an intense burst of power to be used. Prior to Copy Mode, this put overdue stress amounts on the weapon and caused it to self-destruct. Prior to Drive Mastery, the cartridge used was completely depleted, forcing Nebula to change out the cartridge. Used rarely due to its near-uncontrollable power.
• EDGE ATTACKS: The first upgrade to the Drive Blade developed these attacks, which allow for faster cooling of the weapon, energy restoration, and energy charging.
• SHARP EDGE: A normal swing of the Drive Blade with the blade spinning and grinding like a chainsaw. Reduces heat stress.
• COOL EDGE: Cools the blade more, otherwise its identical to Sharp Edge.
• CHARGE EDGE: A weaker Sharp Edge that uses the force of the blade to energize the cartridge, boosting the next Drive attack.
• IMPULSE EDGE: Converts the force of the strike into energy to heal the user's wounds.
• COPY MODE: This power was developed after the second upgrade to the Drive Blade. Nebula can also copy the powers of one of his friends for use via his weapon, with the only 2 drawbacks being that the copied power is weaker than the original and that he cannot use Drive attacks until he dispels it by returning the power by touching the source's soul gem.
• TIME STOP: Nebula's time stop from copying Homura lasts 5 seconds. Usually used the most. Nebula can also use this in Homura's stopped time to move within it for as long as he wants until Homura deactivates her time stop.
• PYROMANCY: Nebula's pyromancy from Butter is less intense and more draining.
• PHOTOMANCY: The photomancy from Alasandria for Nebula is much more draining and restrictive, allowing only one item to be conjured at a time.
• HEALING: Sayaka's copied healing works half as fast, but can be transferred to other targets.
• ARROWS: Madoka's arrows don't copy well onto Nebula, but his weapon gains the power to shoot energy beams.
• RIBBONS: Used during Soul Succession only due to Mami's death before the move was developed. Allows for the summoning of Mami's ribbons, which can be used to whip and bind foes. Acts similar to Joseph Joestar's Hermit Purple. Nebula is unable to form Mami's muskets without severe effort or Drive Mastery.
• ROSSO PHANTASMA: Copied from Kyoko. Allows for creation of afterimages and illusions.
• SPEED: Skyler's speed isn't as intense, but it does show a significant improvement. It makes Nebula the fifth fastest person on the team.
• SHIELD BREAK: A move used rarely. It fails to fatigue Nebula upon returning the ability, and he becomes able to shoot shield-breaking bubbles. This move is copied from Nagisa's soul gem that was obtained after Nebula's battle with Charlotte. During the final fight, Nagisa's soul gem is absorbed into the Drive Blade, innately allowing it to break shields and barriers.
• DRIVE MASTERY: Developed after the Drive Blade is improved for the final time. Drive attacks can now be used during Copy Mode and their overall damage is improved, along with overheats being nulled. Overdrive also no longer overloads the Drive Blade anymore. Copy Mode is vastly improved, with Time Stop's effect increasing to a maximum of 1 minute. However, the other modes are unusable due to the ability developing so late that most of the users that Nebula copies are either dead or too weak to be copied. The only true drawback of this mode is that each Drive attack drains Nebula's energy now, eventually creating a deadly wound after a while of attacking.
• SOUL SUCCESSION: This subtle ability allows Nebula to summon up and use versions of weapons from his fallen friends. Only activates in times of crisis.
• MAGIC RESERVES: This is more like a weakness, but Nebula's magic reserves are noticeably lower than everyone else's. They are lower than Homura's, and she's got the lowest magic reserves of the original 5!

Witch Info:

• Witch Name: Nebulilly
• Type: Hollow Witch
• Nature: Self-sufficient
• Familiars: None, depends on partner for familiars
• Other Info: A self-sufficient witch with the exact same nature as Homulilly, a rare occurrence in witches. Probably caused by the close love both contractees share, which may explain why Nebulilly normally teams up with Homulilly. It also may explain why they share so much of their names. Nebulilly, while unable to create familiars (which it normally depends on its partner to do) will fervently protect whatever partner it has in battle. Its durability is much higher than a normal witch's and it has access to the devastating Drive skills of Nebula, due to both being the same entity. In the current universe, if Nebulilly shows up, it's likely due to Homura turning into Homulilly or dying. If the former has happened, the 2 will most certainly team up. Separating them will lead to death, not that anyone can separate them. 2 witches at once...what a nightmare. Best countered by another duo of contractees with a bond as tight as the one the witch duo shares.

Creator Comment
Nebula's supposed to represent me in this story, and I do like to think of myself as calm and collected, but I do overly try to act cool. Quite a lot of my favorite games caused how I designed him, actually. My love for Etrian Odyssey 4 inspired Nebula's Drive Blade and special abilities, while my old obsession with Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch inspired his magical outfit. His best friend is Homura due to an unknown connection they have. As for the hair and eye color, it's from my avatar for the mobile game Unison League. I was originally planning for him to not be able to turn into a witch, but I changed my mind about it and used a name similar to Homura's witch form's name to signify their bond. Other than that, it's pretty much just me, except the age is about 1 year off.
