A fictional character in the [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] universe, '''Julia Elaine Carlyle''' is a Cadet Second Class at the [[United States Academy of Extranormal Studies]], and the Deputy Leader of [[The Alliance]].

 

==Biography==

 

The daughter of [[Forbes Carlyle]] and the oldest of three children (she has a unnamed younger sister in high school and a younger brother named Lexington in grade school), Julia is a member of the uber-wealthy Clan Carlyle, a family that can trace its ancestry back over fifteen generations to the birth of [[Majel Carlyle]]. All members of the Clan Carlyle have metahuman powers, but are '''not''' members of [[The Elite]], nor are they interested in revealing those abilities to the world in general. (This could be why The Elite has not tried to eliminate them, although it is almost certain that they have been in contact.)

 

'''Winged Flight:''' Julia possesses a pair of fully-functional wings (which extend outwards from her back and possess a wingspan of fifteen feet) which 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 matching Kryptonian super-speeds in flight, and can do so without causing damage to the surrounding environment (see Flight Adaptations).

 

'''Flight Adaptations:''' Julia's body possesses special adaptations allowing for high-speed, long duration and even exo-atmospheric flight:

 

* she possesses superhuman agility which allows her to both fly and fight in incredibly tight areas and at very high speeds.

 

'''Environmental Awareness:''' Julia possesses an innate awareness of the environment around her when flying, allowing her to easily navigate through any environment. Her awareness can extend 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 finger- and toenails out into razor-sharp talons measuring six inches in length. This is an ability she chooses not to use very often.

 

'''Regeneration:''' Julia also possesses the ability to self-regenerate and heal herself from even lethal injuries or exposures to lethal environments or substances. This ability is so powerful that she 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, she 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-oriented conditions (such as vampirism) and diseases which are traditionally considered to have a 100% mortality rate (such as exposure to the viral agents that cause transformation to a zombie state); her saliva acts in a way similar to the solution created by [[Project Nightbreed]], in that it grants a person exposed to it her full healing ability (the effect wears off after five minutes). Julia's regeneration/healing ability is so powerful that it exists even in her bodily fluids; a kiss from Julia can heal person of even mortal injury, and a small transfusion of her blood can resurrect a person who has been dead for up to twenty-four hours.

 

'''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 5000-mile radius. If the target is using active mental defenses or is shielded in a area proofed against mental powers, Julia can then only track to the spot where the target was before the protection was engaged. While using her telelocation power, Julia is vulnerable to psionic attack.

 

'''Mental Shields:''' Julia possesses an innate psionic shield that is difficult for even powerful telepaths to penetrate. This shield is automatically lowered when Julia uses her telelocation power.

 

'''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. 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.

 

'''Speechthrowing:''' Julia can 'throw her voice' in a psionic-related form of ventriloquism to any place or person that she can actually view in real-time (through television, binoculars, etc.).

 

==Equipment==

 

As a member of ''The Alliance'', Julia has a 'team jacket' which is lined with [[Salazarium]]. The jacket allows her to fly without using her own powers, acts as a form of body armor, (also giving some protection against mystical powers and effects), and has a microceiver allowing her to stay in touch with the other members of her team. Because of the flight capabilities of her jacket, Julia has the ability to fly for effectively unlimited periods of time (well, until dinnertime).

==Trivia==

 

 

Julia's favorite food is barbecue ribs, and is not above flying all over the country (world) to get the best. She will also eagerly fly around the world to pick up special take-out orders for her friends.
