I'll give you the missing deets that aren't covered in the game proper. The reason Nova is such a huge dick to Gunvolt is sad and pathetic. Nova was an orphan like Gunvolt when Sumeragi nabbed him for their experiments. He craved affection and attention, even if it came from the scientists who were hurting him. Because GV was slightly more compatible for the Azure Striker, the scientists gave him all the attention.

Ironically, GV hated them for it, while Nova became massively jealous. Doubly ironically, the fate of the Azure Striker was to be a living battery, so Nova lucked out by coming in second place. The holder of Psychokinesis was intended to be Sumeragi's super soldier, so Nova was groomed to be an executive. Still, the massive inferiority complex and trauma from his times in Sumeragi's labs remain.

Secondly, adepts who undergo weaponization are less mentally restrained and stable. This is why they present exaggerated personalities when they transform. This is in the background shit, but isn't acknowledged in game until GV3.

GV2 is probably going to be even more weird to you. There's a lot of Zondafags on here who will tell you how she's one of the most tragic characters in Gunvolt, but you'd never get that from the English translation. It radically changes her into being a power hungry two-faced bitch by removing lines, twisting around what she says, and making her speak more like a snarky adult. Jap version has her resigned to the racewar and sympathizing with GV, even after he kills her family, whereas the English version taunts GV and is all onboard the genocide train. The other Eden members don't fare any better (see pic related).
