In 2552, SPARTAN-458's unit was preparing for a classified mission on [[Nassau Station]] when the ONI stealth ship {{UNSCShip|Apocalypso}} tumbled into real-space – being carried along in the wake of a freak [[slipspace]] anomaly. The anomaly intersected Nassau Station; creating a semi-stable "bubble" in the space/time continuum on its way back to the 21st century. For the time being Nicole-458 is trapped in the 21st century; guarding Nassau Station's secrets with anything but lethal force (she realizes killing someone in the past could have dire consequences in the future) and waiting for the "bubble" to collapse and hopefully return her to the year 2552.<ref name="bnet"/> | |||

=== Quotes | == Character design == | ||
{{ | Nicole's movement controls were originally modeled on the character Bayman's set. Designer Tomonobu Itagaki realized a simplistic and effortless palette-swap would be boring to both fans of Dead or Alive and Halo. The Bayman moves were then treated as a starting point until the designers reinvented the Spartan as a unique and exceptional character with every move in her arsenal paying homage to a Halo move<ref>[http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?pager.offset=1&cId=3145772 Interview with Tomonobu Itagaki] - November, 2005. </ref>. In keeping with the idea of English being the language of the UNSC, Nicole is the only character on DOA4 that speaks English, although she occasionally speaks Japanese. When a taunt is used Nicole smacks her fist into her open palm and activates active camo. | ||

== | ==Trivia== | ||
*Nicole-458's designation may be a reference to [[7]] (458: 8-5=3+4=7 or 5-4=1 8-1=7). This would be because [[Bungie]], creators of the running gag, created Nicole 458 for the makers of [[Dead or Alive 4]] to use. | |||
*A Bungie employee, Evil Otto (along with a 343 Industries employee), has confirmed that Nicole is actually canon in the Halo universe, but her appearance in ''Dead or Alive 4'' is not. <ref>[http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/zz145/DaliThought/evilottoproff.jpg ''Screen capture of Evil Otto's post'']</ref> <ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/forums/general/f/10/p/5486/48766.aspx#48766 '''Halo Waypoint forums''' — ''Canon question to 343i about Nicole'']</ref> | |||
*Nicole may appear in future instalments of the Halo franchise (books, games, etc.), but at the moment there are no plans.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/forums/general/f/10/p/5486/48766.aspx#48766 '''Halo Waypoint forums''' — ''Canon question to 343i about Nicole'']</ref> | |||
