Q-Nova is an active MFGGer, abundant submitter to the main site, and a prolific wiki editor, known for spotting even the smallest changes to the main site, forums, or wiki, often within a matter of minutes. He discovered MFGG during the middle of 2012, but didn't create an account until March 7, 2015. Before joining the site, he had downloaded many fangames from the main site and played them, the first of which were Gravity Goomba and Crazy Lakitu DX. He had also downloaded many sprite sheets from the main site, and used them for some of his fangames, especially his old ones (which were never released anywhere on the internet). They are sometimes edited so they wouldn't clash with the other sprites used in his fangames.
Like Supernova, he is addicted to collecting badges, in fact, one of his goals was to get at least six rows of badges (at least 26 non-duplicate badges). He was also a prolific reviewer and has received the Super Reviewer badge. He is a spriter, which, his mainly sprites in a style that is mostly known for lacking outlines. Q-Nova had made several fangames, most of which were submitted to competitions. They are known to use at least mostly custom graphics.

History
2015
Q-Nova was an active member during 2015, and participated at a huge amount of competitions.
Q-Nova created an account on both the main site and forums on March 7. During his early days on MFGG, he was active on especially the Forum Games held on the forums, and submitted sprites and reviews to the main site. In March 10, he created his wiki account. Q-Nova joined Xandalf's current collaborative project (which is currently on hold), Smash Bros Retro, as he considered himself to be sufficiently adept at GML, in March 15.
When he changed his avatar into a Shy Guy sketch (which is made by Thunder Dragon) as he decided to obey the caption below VinnyVideo's avatar (which reads as "Always have a Shy-Guy in your avatar"), a fad is created. This small fad involves a few MFGGer's changing their avatar into Thunder Dragon's Shy Guy sketch. This fad only lasted for a day.
He participated at the Great MFGG Easter Egg Hunt of 2015, and he was able to crack all the eggs of that event (with a small amount of help from some MFGGers). He's the winner of the Cyan Egg, and claimed the prize, JumpJet Rex. He's also the winner of the Orange Egg, but he declined the prize, Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers, which instead goes to Myte. He helped a few people on cracking the third puzzle of the Orange Egg, by giving them hints.
At May 11, Q-Nova participated at the seventh Isometric Collaboration. He had created sixteen tiles before the Isometric Collaboration was scrapped. On May 17, Q-Nova participated at the MFGG E3 Bingo event. He got twelve squares marked down, but he didn't get a bingo. Q-Nova signed up for MFGG Mafia on May 27. His role in the game was being the mayor, and he was killed by the mafia on June 13.
On August 1, he was officially confirmed to be a spriter of Super Mario Flashback. On August 4, Q-Nova re-shaded four of the smilies. The four smilies that were updated were :disagree:, :tired:, :agree:, and :laughing:. In August 20, Q-Nova had showed a screenshot of Bob-Ball vs. Toads, which is a crossover between Bob-Ball and Toads vs. Koopas. Q-Nova participated at The Grammar Game, which, he didn't survive in the first round.
During in the last week of October, Q-Nova participated in The Hallowsphere event, and managed to access all three Hallowspheres, with a little help from hints for the second and third one. Q-Nova had also participated in the Nyerk nyerk nyerk! event, and is the first one to discover who was in hostage at the first day. Q-Nova had designed his own ref, which is a gray-and-red Shlyo (a species he created) that has a zipper on their clothing.
Q-Nova participated in the Secret Santa event of 2015, with his gift being pixel art for BlimpFruit.
2016
Like he was on 2015, Q-Nova was a active MFGGer on 2016 that had participated in many competitions.
On the MFGG Awards of 2015, Q-Nova was nominated for Best Reviewer, Jack-of-all-Trades, and Most Positive Contributor, while he won Best Newcomer. Nightmare's Revenge was nominated for Most Original Gameplay and Best Setting, and The Flooded Tower was nominated for both Best Sprites and Most Replay Value, while it won Best Minigame. His avatar (which is a drawing made by imaginary cake that was originally made as a gift for the Secret Santa event of 2015) was nominated for Best Avatar.
He participated at the E3 Bingo event of 2016 on May 3. He managed to get fifteen squares marked down, and he also got a bingo. On June 17, Q-Nova wrote a guide for sharing art and music, which is intended to replace Black Squirrel's now-outdated guide from 2010. Q-Nova updated three topic icons and made three new topic icons, two of which were made to replace two topic icons, on September 7.
Q-Nova had participated at the second MFGG Mafia game. He was a regular townie this time, and he managed to survive to the end, unlike the first MFGG Mafia game. He participated at the Secret Santa event of 2016, and made a digital drawing for Friendly Dictator.
