The great-granddaughter of [[Miranda Carlyle]], Julia is incredibly attractive; she is 5'10 in height and weighs 125 pounds, with the traditional Carlyle birthright of long, dark scarlet hair and slender, with ''very'' long legs. Like the majority of 'Carlyle women', Julia has large, jade-green eyes; Julia, in fact, looks '''exactly''' like Majel Carlyle herself. (This was a factor in the naming of Julia, as she was given her ancestor's name, as well as 'Elaine' - Paige's grandmother's name.) Forbes, having a background in art history and decades of research in the area, named Julia after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_the_Elder Julia The Elder - the daughter of the first Roman emperor, Augustus].
Always a rebellious child, Julia discovered her powers at the age of seven (when she sprouted her wings for the first time), and for the next two years, found a great thrill in annoying her family members and neighbors in the upstate New York area (on and around the Carlyle estate). (It was revealed in the '[[Judith Strikes]]!' fic '[[Not So Different]]' that Julia lived at both her great-grandmother's estate, and in the affluent Denver, Co. suburb of Aurora with her mother and Paige - who she refers to fondly as '' 'Mommy Paige' '' - before she went to USAES.) She grew more daring, using her hyper-speed flight powers to travel around the world to various locations and having adventures. (Because of her habit of constantly disappearing and never being where she was supposed to be - (even before her powers developed -) Julia picked up the nickname 'Milky' (as in 'you'll have to put her face on a milk carton to find her.') She came to the attention of [[Professor Richard Hiram Blumenberg]] in the summer before her ninth birthday, who spoke to the Carlyle family about Julia attending USAES; he left after being given a resounding 'no' to the question, but was shocked when Julia showed up at USAES less than a half-hour after he had returned. (She used her powers of flight and tracking to follow him there.) After a spirited conversation on the phone, Julia was allowed to stay at USAES, and would becomebecame the final member of [[Training Cadre 2996]]. (She is also the youngest member of the cadre, being almost three years younger than the others.) In order to give her 'her own space', as well as a person outside of her cadre who she could feel comfortable with, theThe Professor assigned her as [[Sherrie Klein]]'s roommate.; Thisthis was also a way to keep Klein (who was to be the final member of ''The Alliance'', had Julia not arrived) close to the group. (Despite her signature wings, and sonicto powers, the majority ofinflunce Julia's abilities are psionic in nature, and Julia spends as much time in the Mental Enhancement as she does in the Metahuman Transportation and Travel program, and she wears both a platinumpositive 'psi'way. symbol and a pair of platinum wings - the symbols of those programs.)

Every inch the autocratic 'Carlyle woman' expected by her great-grandmother (albeit with a rebellious, adventuring streak and a gift for snarkiness), Julia is nevertheless a very strong team player, even to the point of accepting a subordinate role to those she feels are worthy of being good leaders. It is also telling of her personality, skills and overall ability that she was chosen by popular vote among the Alliance members to be Deputy Leader during the cadets' second year, when they were expected to act as a group in many school activities, and she has their complete trust, respect and affection. ▼

In LLH 13.2, '[[Angel Of The Morning]]', Julia joined the Legion as the first member not to be a resident of [[Lawndale]] upon becoming a Legionnaire. Her membership is part of a one-year trial exchange program between the Legion and USAES, which could lead to a permanent program of having USAES cadets (who are also eligible for membership) spending a one-year period as Legionnaires.
In Junethe 2012LLH 'Mini' ''25 Things About Julia Carlyle'', Julia graduated with the USAES Class of 2012, and received her Bachelor of Science in Administration of Justice. Because of her exemplary record and achievements, Julia was commissioned as a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve (as all Federal Service and National Service track cadets are commissioned as officers in either the Army or Navy Reserve). Julia has also moved from probationary status with the FBI to full Special Agent duty status; however, as of the LLH 'Mini' ''25 Things About Julia Carlyle'', she has been offered (and accepted) a special assignment.
==Powers==
'''Winged Flight:''' Julia possesses a pair of fully-functional wings (which extend outwards from her back and possesswith a wingspan of fifteen feet) whichthat she can either fold back against her back so that she can wear clothing over them, or she can 'shrink' them back into tiny 'wing buds' just beneath her skin. Her wings possess superhuman strength of their own, as she can easily knock even persons with superhuman strength and durability unconscious with a single blow from them. (In terms of lifting strength, Julia's wings have the comparative strength to lifting twenty tons). She can fly at speeds easily matchingreach Kryptonian-level super-speeds in flight, and can do so without causing damage to the surrounding environment (see Flight Adaptations). If her wings are damaged, her healing power also allows her to rapidly heal or regenerate them.
'''Flight Adaptations:''' Julia's body possesses special adaptations allowing for high-speed, long duration and even exo-atmospheric flight:
* her skin is more durable than expected; this actually provides her with the equivalent of light body armor, as she can resist puncture wounds and small-caliber bullets (up to the effect of a .45 round; she will feel some discomfort from the impact, through).
* her bones are hollow, she can withstand extreme temperatures and extract oxygen from even very thin atmospheric conditions.
* her body can actually sustain itself while in hostile environments such as space (underwater, in gas-filled areas, etc), with no need to eat, drink or breathe.
* her body does not store excess fat, and allows her to convert any food that she dos eat far more efficiently into energy than non-powered or even most metahumans.
* her muscle structure, while similar to a woman of her age and figure,Julia possesses far greater tensilesuperhuman strength, allowing her considerably more strength than would be expected. Julia can can lift and carry up to 20001000 pounds (up to 800 pounds with no effort), or up to tentwenty tons while in flight).
* her eyesight is incredibly acute (superior to predatory birds) and her eyes are adapted for flight.
* she possesses superhuman agility which allows her to both fly and fight in incredibly tight areas and at very high speeds, and superhuman endurance at the pinnacle that humanoid beings can possess. Even without her other powers (or if her other powers are actively suppressed), Julia retains agility, strength and endurance levels greater than that of an Olympic athlete.
* Julia has a '''very''' limited connection to the '[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_Force Speed Force]', allowing her to fly at ultra-high speeds without damage to the environment, as well asand perceive her environment at ultra high-speeds in order to perform tasks at those speeds (allowingsuch her toas dodge bullets, energy effects, other speedsters, etc.). It is active '''only''' when she is in flight .
'''Environmental Awareness:''' When using heher flight powers, Julia possesses an innate awareness of the environment around her when flying, allowing her to easily navigate through any environment. Her awareness can extendextends out to roughly one Astronomical Unit (roughly 93 million miles, or /the distance between Earth and the Sun). This awareness also makes Julia a superior navigator.
'''Talons:''' Julia can extend her fingernails out into razor-sharp talons measuring six inches in length. This is an ability she chooses not to use very often.
'''Healing Factor:''' Julia also possesses the ability to self-regenerate and heal herself from even lethal injuries orand exposuresexposure to lethal environments or /substances. This ability is so powerful that sheJulia can even reconstitute her body if large portions are destroyed or even if she is subject to disintegration; if even a molecule of her form still exists, she can reconstitute her form. (Even if her body is '''completely''' destroyed, if her spirit is still viable, sheJulia can reconstitute her form if a sample of her DNA (a hair, fingernail, saliva sample, etc.) can be found; her power will reconstitute her body, and automatically re-establish her spirit inside her body.) Julia's power even provides her with total immunity to supernaturally-orientedexotic conditions (such as vampirism), and diseaseszombification whichand are traditionally considered to have a 100% mortality rateviruses [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossed_(such as exposure to the viral agents that cause transformation to a zombie statecomics); her saliva acts in a way similar to the solution''Crossed''] created byand [[Project Nightbreed]], in that it grants a person exposed to it her full healing ability (the effect wears off after five minutes)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28_Days_Later Julia's'Rage'' regeneration/healing ability is so powerful that it exists even in her bodily fluids; a kiss from Julia can heal persons of even mortal injury, and a small transfusion of her blood can resurrect a person who has been dead for up to twenty-four hoursviruses]. Unlike other metahumans with healing factors, Julia is not adversely affected if her powers are nullified; she still possesses the same resistance to germs and disease as any normal human in excellent physical shape that engages in intense physical exercisecondition.
'''Healing Ability:''' Julia's regeneration/healing ability exists even in her bodily fluids (specifically in her saliva, sweat and blood) and can be transmitted to others through physical contact or ingestion of those fluids. Any exposure to these fluids grants a person the effects of Julia's ability for a short period of time (roughly five minutes). A kiss from Julia can heal even mortal injury, and a transfusion of her blood can resurrect a person who has been dead up to twelve hours.
'''Advanced Telocation:''' Julia has the ability to lock onto the psionic signature of a target (after handling a personal object or being in a 'personal area' belonging to the target) and track them down. Julia's ability allows her to track a target anywhere within a 1000-mile radius. (If she has no personal object to focus her powers on, she is limited to a six-mile radius.) If the target is using active mental defenses or is shielded in an area proofed against mental powers, Julia can then only track to the spot where the target was before the protection was engaged. When Julia uses her telelocation power in conjunction with her speech-throwing ability (see below), Julia additionally manifests the ability to generate an astral form that only that person that she is tracking can see and communicate with; Julia can only perform within twelve miles of her target. (Note that while in contact with that person, Julia can maintain her astral form in order to move about anywhere within a radius of 120 yards of that person's position; she can walk up stairs, pass through doors and explore; with extreme concentration - during which time is unable to move her physical form - Julia can solidify her astral form (it will still be invisible) in order to perform physical tasks.) While using her telelocation power, Julia is vulnerable to psionic attack.
'''Advanced Telocation:''' Julia has the ability to lock onto a person's mind (after handling a personal item of the target) and track them down. Julia's ability allows her to track a target anywhere within a 100-mile radius. (If she has no personal object to focus her powers on, she is limited to a six-mile radius.) If the target is shielded from mental powers in some fashion, Julia can only track them to the location where the protection was engaged. Julia is vulnerable to mental attack when using this power.
'''Astral Form:''' Julia can project her astral form out to 1500 miles away. While in astral form, she can use her mental-based powers as normal; her regeneration ability acts upon her astral form as it does upon her physical form. In addition, her speech-throwing and clairaudience powers act in the manner of telepathy. ▼

'''Mental Shields:''' Julia possesses an innate psionic shield that is difficult for even the most powerful of telepaths to penetrate; this shield also protects her from related psionic and emotion-based attacks (including mind control, mental stunning, possession attempts of any form, mental-detection and suppression attacks upon the psyche and the autonomic nervous system). This shield is always in place, but is automatically lowered when Julia uses her telelocation power. Julia can lower the shield when she wants to allow any form of psi-contact; in addition, Julia can still 'hear' telepathic wide-band and personal broadcasts directed towards her even when her shield is active, as her shield acts as a 'filter' to simply allow reception, but not locating or control of her mind. Like her healing ability, Julia's mental shields cannot be nullified by any form of power dampening or nullification technology or powers; in the case of technology as the [[Psychon-class devices|Mark 50 suppression band]], Julia's shield goes into a 'default' state and is locked into place'.
'''Mental Shields:''' Julia possesses an innate psionic shield that protects her from psionic and emotion-based attacks. This shield is always in place, but lowered when Julia uses her telelocation power or wants to allow any form of psi-contact. The shield also acts as a 'filter' to allow mental contact, but not control of her mind. Julia's mental shields cannot be shut down.
'''Sonic Generation:''' Julia has the ability to project tightly-focused waves of hypersonic energy, which are so powerful that they can actually break down the molecular bindings of solid material and reduce them to a semi-solid/liquid state. She can affect everything within a quarter-mile area, or attack a single target within her line of sight. Furthermore, the nature of Julia's powers (see below) allows her to direct the sonic waves in such a manner so that the intense damaging nature of her sound projection can be directed without harm to persons/items she is not trying to affect (when attacking single targets). Julia can also use her sonic powers as a form of radar/sonar (when in the appropriate environments to do so), and although she rarely needs to do so (because of her wings and the higher speed she has with them), Julia can use her sonic powers in order to fly at up to the speed of sound, or 770 MPH. Because of the psionic basis of her power, Julia's sonic powers also act in the nature of a psionic blast as well as a sonic attack, allowing Julia to incapacitate even high-level psionics or persons with psi-defenses.
'''Sonic Generation:''' Julia has the ability to project sonic energies so powerful that they can liquify or disintegrate matter (by destroying molecualr bindings) or disrupt energy fields. She can affect everything within a quarter-mile area, or attack a single target within her line of sight. Julia's conrrol of her powers allows her attack a single target without harm to anything else in the immediate area. Julia can also use her sonic powers as a form of radar/sonar. While she rarely needs to do so (because of her wings), Julia can use her sonic powers in order to fly at up to the speed of sound. Julia's sonic powers can be used underwater or in a vacuum; losing her ability to speak does not affect her power. Julia's powers can be blocked by powers that dampen mental abilities, and she cannot be adversly affected by any sonic-or voice-related control, ability or device (including her own).
Julia's sonic powers are psionic in nature, allowing them to work underwater or in a vacuum; in addition, powers or devices that suppress her ability to speak (or even conditions such as laryngitis) cannot affect her power. However, her powers can be muted out or blocked by powers that dampen mental abilities. As a side-effect of her power, Julia cannot be affected by her own powers or any sonic-or voice-related ability or device; this gives her immunity to mind-control devices of this nature.
'''"Speech-throwing":''' Julia can 'throwuse her voice'vocal inpowere a psionic-related form oflike ventriloquism to any place or person that she can actually view in real-time (through television, binoculars, etc.). Her range for this power is 25,000line-of-sight (or up to 2500 miles (away, if she has a way to view them in real-time);. howeverWhen using her power, inJulia conjunctiondevelops withclairaudience herat telelocationthe andlisted clairaudienceranges, Julia'swhich effectiveallows rangeher forto hertalk powerto isthe 1000targets milesof her power.
'''Pyrokinesis:''' Julia possesses limited pyrokinetic powers that she uses to generate flames around objects without harming them. She has absolute control of the flames sheath, and also has a limited resistance to all heat and flames. She primarily uses this power to sheath swords with flame (in order to fool individuals into believing that she is an angel).
'''Clairaudience:''' Julia has a clairaudience ability that is linked with her speech-throwing ability; her effective range is 1000 miles. She can also use it to listen to events up to six miles away without engaging her speech-throwing ability.
'''Pyrokinetic Energy Sheath:''' Julia possesses a limited pyrokinetic ability; this allows her to generate a sheath/corona of flame around any item she wishes, without doing any physical damage to the object. In addition, if the item is of the appropriate nature, the item/object can be used as a weapon with the additional protection or damage capabilities that the flame sheath provides. Julia has absolute control of the flame sheath, and can expand/or contract it at will, as well as exercise precise control the intensity of the flames (down to a tenth of a degree). She primarily has used this ability to sheath swords with flame (in order to fool individuals into believing that she is an angel).
==Equipment==
Julia spent her internship year as an apprentice with the [http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Thieves_Guild Thieves' Guild] (which has survived to the present day) after being granted permission with a special dispensation from the Secretary of Extranormal Affairs. During her year with the Guild, Julia trained as a 'cat burglar', and participated in thefts which netted over $10,000,000.00 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar USD]; Julia was allowed to participate due to the fact that her training would be used to curtail future crimes of this nature.
Although she has not attempted to expand upon the skill as several of her fellow cadets have, Julia possesses incrediblyincredible proficientshooting marksmanship abilities (due to her powers)skills. She is easily as skilled of a marksman with a handgun or PFT weapon as [[Fabian Nogura]; she recorded a perfect marksmanship score while doing her required testing at Quantico, andis regularlyas scores perfect matchesgood with ahand serviceweapons rifle.as Were[[Fabian she to focus upon the skillNogura]], Julia has the potential to be a sniper of unnatural lethality at extreme ranges; sheand is also capablean ofexcellent incrediblegunner lethality(either while manningflying aor gunin a turret,). andJulia ishas alsoa verypreference good at hitting targets with her weapons while infor flightshotguns.
