: One June 20th, 2012, at 7:09 PM, a homunculi was created from the body of Emily Engel and an artificial soul gem created from herself and her grandfather. She stood in the body of a twelve year old girl, confused and scared of the sudden new world before her. With a near wall shattering wail, the raw power of the sun itself erupted before her and melted the entire ritual chamber.
 
: No one could have anticipated that the power of the incarnate, that originally belonged to Luficia, would transfer over to the child nor could they have predicted the sol stone would become an incarnate artifact as well. Before anything could go wrong, she heard a voice call out in a comforting tone.
 
: ‘Everything’s going to be okay. You are loved and you are safe’
 
: It was enough that fizzled out the power and caused the child to collapse. The only witness of the ritual, Jeremiah, scooped up the child in his arms and cradled her in his grasp.
 
: Hence that day, she would go by a new name…
 
<br>
 
: Audel.
 
<div style="font-size:14px;color:#fff; ">
 
<br>
 
<div style="font-size:14px;color:#fff; ">
 
 
=== '''''<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color:#fa5c89">After the Ritual...</div>''''' ===
 
<br>
 
: As far as Audel knew, she was a twelve year old girl that lived in Paragon City all her life. She lived with her single father, Jeremiah, and they could only afford a cheap apartment in the Kings Row district.
 
: While her dad did the best he could, he was also a part time hero himself and was gone for long periods of time trying to save the city. It left Audel alone with her books and looking out the window.  With her unusual physical prowess, there wasn’t much she could play with; any attempts either broke what she touched or accidentally hurt other kids. The little girl felt like a monster.
 
: She felt like a lost teenager with nowhere to go in life.. That is, until May Carter and Reed Davis approached her. They sat with her, asked about her interests and showed Audel things she could get into that didn’t involve hurting anyone.  It brought so much light into her otherwise lonely mood.
 
: Everything changed when she noticed the Vahzilok kidnapped May and Reed into the sewers. They were her only friends and she couldn’t let this stand! For once, she decided to not hold back with her power and fight them in the sewer.
 
: Her friends weren’t the only ones she saved that day; there were other victims waiting to meet under the Vahzilok hacksaw. She burns through the undead, freeing her friends and other civilians in the process. She fought through any other gangs in her way, like the Skulls, and got everyone to safety.


'''Super Strength''': Through a miscalculation from her mother, she has developed natural super strength. She can pack a whallop with her fist alone and lift cars.  
: It was a strange feeling, being thanked instead of scolded for her power.  


'''Super Durability''': Through a miscalculation from her mother, she has developed natural durability. Many mistaken it for invulnerability with bullets unable to puncture the skin. With enough force, the skin can be pierced.  
: It led Audel on a journey of self-discovery, learning her power slowly but surely. She learnt how to control the heat around her and make fire form in her hands, or how to use that raw power to fly through the air. Reed taught her some basics from his kickboxing classes and May snuck in a hand-made costume with stars and stripes.  


'''Enhanced Combat & Fitness''': That training in the gym isn't just for show. She's flexible for a reason.  
: The more Audel fought to protect the streets at night, the more she found herself more passionate about protecting the civilians. There was no real explanation how her powers came to be or why but she could do something meaningful about it. Even if her powers felt like the sun itself, she could harness it to protect people.


'''Sol Incarnate''': Like her mother, Audel inherited the power of the incarnate from the Praetorian War. Where her mother learnt slowly and built her power on her own, Audel had everything her mother worked hard given to her all at once. Audel didn't know this for years but it amplifies her powers as well as given her power of solar absorption and manipulation to begin with.  
: Even if some people feared her, there were others who admired her. The more Audel fought gangs and villains, the more she found herself growing attached to the people. Even if she didn’t understand people well or even herself, she had the urge to protect it with all her heart and soul.  


'''Solar Absorption''': By herself(via incarnate) and the Sol Stone, she is constantly absorbing the sun light and acts as an infinite resource for her powers.
: Was this what it meant to be a hero? Is it to guard her friends, family and strangers with her solar might? If the city needed more heroes than she was more than happy to step up.  


'''Solar Manipulation''': Via Sol Stone and herself(via incarnate), she can manipulate solar energy absorbed by the sun through her own means. Her favorite is power her fists in solar light and punch her foes with mini suns if brute force is not doing the trick.  
: After all, that’s who she was now; Solarguard.


'''Thermal Emission''': Being solar powered, the air around her can get hot very quickly. This is used to her advantage to allow to create bursts of flame within her range. It can be used to make a fist of pure flame or within short range period.
<br>


* '''Electrical Manipulation''': This is only an after effect of the thermal emission. It can also create an electrical charge. It takes a lot to develop and can only fire in huge bursts through many of her foes.
== '''''<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color:#fa5c89">Today</div>''''' ==


'''Flight''': Through the Sol Stone, Solarguard can fly. Without it, she can't take to the air.
<br>


'''Human & Emotional Mimicry''': Audel is not a traditional human being. She is a humonculus and the rules are different for her. Any potentially fatal blows to the brain, the heart and other vital organs will not kill her. This has been mistakened for immortality many times. The Sol Stone is the heart and soul of her well being. Not only that but she can't feel emotion like any other human being can. The further its away from her, the harder it is for her to feel. If the connection is cut, she is incapable of feeling any emotion. This could make for any villain/other being able to completely possess Audel or to control her for their own means.
: Audel Huxley held the Solarguard moniker, fighting without a hero license up until she was eighteen years old. Her father found out and instead of grounding her, he let her sign up with a license under the condition that she held no secrets from him. He got a big ol’ hug as his answer.  


= Personality =
: Since then, she joined the New Defenders in 2022 and became friends with Anomalie, Direct Control, Sun-Gun, Ultrali and many others.  Through them did she discover her homunculi heritage and learn to come to terms with it. Eventually, she left the New Defenders to pursue fighting for more than just the city; she wanted to protect the world.


In her early age, she was nothing like her introverted mother.  
: Unfortunately, Arachnos wouldn’t allow it. They kidnapped her and wanted to study her to try to replicate her grandmother’s homunculi formula for themselves. She broke out and fled for a year until her old friends, now called the Accord, came to her rescue.  


That didn't mean she didn't inherit some things; her compassion was transported over with a desire to protect the weak.  She inherited her stubborness though Audel has a tendecy to not wield easily.  
: With new and old friends alike, she works with them as if they were her second family the whole time. Together, with the Accord, she works to be the hero she wants to be; protecting a world and all the people she loves so much in it.


She did develop a big of a temper that she wasn't able to control easily. The scorn of her powers only made it worse and she broke things. A lot. It was difficult to control her strength around everyone else.  
: Though the journey of a hero wasn't easy. With the return of Lukas and dealing with Science Lord Rixis, she lost part of her mother within her soul gem. Though thanks to Lukas' indirect hand, her mother's sacrifice and the well's intervention, Audel became something more...  


As she got older and developed as a hero, her temper cooled down and developed a playful side. A wink to a villain with a slam of her fist or other little details unless the situation demanded her to take it seriously. Her playfulness is reflected in her costume; from her jacket to the heart shaped sunglasses she always has on.
<br>


She is a hopeless romantic and always secretly gushes on any relationships that develop from friends to even strangers. Even with her extroverted nature, she desires calm things in life like gardening, knitting, reading books and listening to music.
= '''''<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color:#fa5c89">Personality</div>''''' =


Audel isn't perfect but that leaves her open to develop, to grow, and to change. Just like every other human being!
<br>


= Villains & Nemeses =
: Audel didn’t really have a childhood to develop much of a personality; she was very temperamental, struggling to figure out her own emotions when she was younger. It took meeting her friends and being part of the Accord to realize who she is; a kind hearted but excited woman with her playful side held deep within.


'''Arachnos''': To them, it was a worst fear come into fruition; one of the biggest heroes that fought against Arachnos had returned. It was enough to give Ghost Widow and even Lord Recluse to pause to that heroic name; Luficia. Many come at Audel in the hope of earning personal favor or under orders to try to destroy her. Many don't listen to Audel's protests that she is, in fact, not her grandma. Due to recent revelations, some have started to reevaluate Solarguard but there is the big fear of her return through Solarguard is still there. So, despite Audel's irritation, she is on one of the most wanted under both alias.  
: Her loving side is shown to her boyfriend, her friends and even strangers alike. Audel loves to cook and accommodate anyone she meets; she isn’t even above reaching a hand out to a villain in hard times with food.  


'''Nemesis''': This has been recent ever since joining Seismic Impact in saving the city one morning against a Rikti invasion and Nemesis revealed his hand in the plot. It was the first time she's exchanged real blows against Nemesis and his army but it wasn't forgotten.  
: Because she lacked a childhood, she doesn’t really have many hobbies except reading or other quiet activities. It wasn’t until her boyfriend did she find herself able to find other hobbies, to play, even.  


'''Khalgra and the Grun'Tuk''': It's DC's fault, really. In his simulated life of a perfect world, he predicted how Audel with six others stopped the invasion of the Grun'Tuk. It was because of this prophecy that it reached the Grun'Tuk... or, rather, to Khalgra. The two have been enemies since with their potential clash growing inevitable.  
: Overall, Audel cares and growing older, it’s allowed her to be less temperamental and to open her heart even more to others.


'''Count Bedlam''': It started out nice. The two shared a love of literacy and he seemed interesting. The fear of villainous betrayal was too great and after one incident, the two fell at odds. Bedlam's vengeance will come one day.
<br>


'''Dominatriea''': For all intents and purposes, Audel doesn't know she exists. This villainness knows her though and will do anything to get her clutches onto Audel to research exactly how she was created. If Dominatriea can unlock Audel's secrets, then it will be the key for the villainess' own purposes. Exactly what that purpose could be is anyone's guess.
= '''''<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color:#fa5c89">Powers & Abilities</div>''''' =


= Backstory =
<br>


Before Audel, was Emily Engel.
: ''"Dawn's embrace, bring forth the day, chase the shadows, light my way! With your brilliance, banish the night, grant me strength in morning's light!"''


Emily Engel was a veteran hero that served in the Praetorian War and was part of the many heroic elite. Under the moniker Luficia, she was rumored to be part of many supergroups such as the Challengers, the Steadfast Pact or even fighting beside the great Xanatos himself.  It was hard to tell from fact and fiction but Emily retired from her heroic work on August 31st.
<br>


Even with her retirement, Emily couldn't comprehend her own immortality. A lot of her friends had either departed or died in the war. Emily couldn't bare the thought of watching her own adopted son grow old and die while she remained the same. With her grandfather's soul, they studied in creating a homunculus; specifically out of her own body.  
* <big>'''Hemara Incarnate''':</big> Due to her mother’s sacrifice and interference from the Well itself, her mantle of Sol was replaced with Hemara. Her power and abilities have become associated with the day, emitting the goddess’ love to mankind. Her mantle shines in a pink ethereal light with matching wings sprouting from Solarguard's back. When she flies in the air, the light from her wings can part the darkness.  


Emily's contact with Ghost Widow through the years led her to master magic involving souls as well.  For even if one could create a homunculi, they would lack a personality or a soul.
<br>


She covered her tracks well! The only people that knew was her son, Jeremiah and his wife. Emily burnt a lot of her notes before the process was done.  
* <big>'''Hemara's Philosphers Stone'''</big>: Audel is a homunculus and her soul resides within her soul gem. This gem was forged by Direct Control other associates to house Audel's soul. Since her mother's sacrifice from within the stone, its gained a pink glow from the red stone with tiny etheral wings emitting from it. Love pulses from it and holding it long enough can make you feel love within itself. It is a philosopher's stone and it is capable of reviving the dead. Although Audel's soul can no longer be sacrificed for it, the blessing of revival can happen only once a year.  


On June 21st, the ritual was performed with only her son as her witness. She had the formula set up with other materials to make up where her own body lacked. Her soul and her grandfather's would be merged into a stone to anchor to the new body. Everything was set up to perfection!
<br>


... except Emily messed up the formula mathematics, causing the ritual to make a far denser human being than what was supposed to be there. There was also the fact that Emily was an incarnate; under the power of [https://www.ancient.eu/Helios/| Sol, or Helios ]. This alone helped in ensuring a success in the newly created homunculi but also made her far more powerful than Emily ever wanted her daughter to be. Without it, Audel wouldn't have survived.  
* <big>'''Love Empowerment''':</big> Love through her mother and her incarnate power has increased her physical strength, durability and her solar powers. Should Audel run out of solar light and there’s no light to absorb from then she will be able to convert her love into light itself.  


Emily wanted to leave behind a daughter; instead, she left behind a scared five year old with the power of a god and inhuman strength.
<br>


Audel Huxley was born into the world.  
* <big>'''Loving Aura'''</big>: Hermana's love, now Audel's, is always pulsing from her. Those with empathy powers will feel it, like a gentle warmth on a summer morning.  


<br>


== Early Childhood ==
* <big>'''Super Strength'''</big>


Audel doesn't remember too much of when she was really little. It wasn't easy growing up either but she found joy in the stories of her grandmother's time in the war against Praetoria. Her father told her tales of standing with heroes such as Xanatos, Ascendant and the Imperial. It became part of her world and was what she enjoyed pretending to be; a hero, like her grandma.
* <big>'''Invulnerability'''</big>


It was one of the only way Audel felt she could be herself; everyone else knew just how different Audel was from other humans. For reasons unknown, Audel was physically stronger than any other human in her class. What other kids struggle at that age, Audel exceled in all physical activities and was the kid everyone went to when they couldn't open something. That didn't mean everyone was accepting toward Audel. Other kids would tease her and call her a mutant. Some even claimed she was faking it and tried hitting her to prove it. It ended up with several kids in the hospital with broken limbs.
* <big>'''Flight'''</big>


Because of the incident, Audel was ordered a check up to determine what super powers she had and the origin behind them. They questioned Jeramiah too; asked if she was ever the product of any villainous experiments or reported kidnappings. He always gave the same story and nothing else appeared to be amiss.  The medical check ups were almost impossible to accomplish and getting her vaccinations were even worse; her body would break the needles trying to penetrate her skin. It took a needle made of the strongest metal in existence just to get her vaccination or to run blood tests.
* <big>'''Solar Energy Blasts & Projections'''</big>


Audel would get the all clear and deemed her power to be natural but would have special classes to help control her strength.
* <big>'''Solar Light & Energy Absorption'''</big>


== Teenage Years ==
* <big>'''Heat Generation & Manipulation'''</big>
Things did improve as Audel got older. The bullying stopped and soon, Audel made a few friends. High School was an awkward time in her life; naturally fit and no amount of junk food would let her gain much weight. Audel was accepted as a cheerleader for Paragon City's high school football team and was content to be the one to lift the girls or catch them when they fell.


Even if playing other sports would have been impossible, she did sign up for boxing and martial arts after school to help keep her in shape. There weren't any opponents but she listened to her instructors and cheered her friends on in their tournaments.
* <big>'''Heat Transferal & Heat Immunity'''</big>


But the memory books from her grandmother's heroic adventures never left her sight nor did did she stop looking up to the sky. Audel was different but if her grandmother was a hero, perhaps it was her destiny to follow in the same footsteps??
* <big>'''Animal Empathy'''</big>: Because of her light, small animals are attracted to Solarguard. They feel safe in her presence!


That calling became louder in her mind when the school bus was hijacked by the Skulls with fresh superadine to try to get the teens forcibly addicted to the drug. Unfortunately for the Skulls, they picked Audel first and the needles easily snapped off in the attempt.


It was easy to overpower them after that. For the first time in her life, Audel wasn't doing something because it gave personal meaning or to follow her grandma's path; it was to protect the innocent. It was to protect her classmates! Of course, Audel got in trouble for fighting without a hero license and not waiting for the authorities but her classmates were very grateful.


That became the high school years; misadventures of teenage life and having Audel step in to protect everyone when things got too hairy. Those were simple days.
<br>


== Early Adulthood ==
= '''''<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color:#fa5c89">Weaknesses</div>''''' =


High school graduation came and went with Audel applying to the local Paragon City University.  She intended to earn a bachelor's degree in athletics, teach healthy eating or ways to stay fit but her father found her half written application for a hero's license. In the end, Jeremiah knew that this would happen. Audel spoke of it all the time growing up.
<br>


One day, her father sat her down and asked her one important question; Why do you want to become a superhero?
* <big>'''Acranium'''</big>: A mystical metal invented by some of the best scholars in Arachnos, it was made specifically to bind or cut through homunculi. Designed to assassinate Solarguard, it has become her personal kryptonite. Even if Acranium is used to forge shackles or metal bars, it is the only thing Audel can't break through brute force. New versions of acranium have shaped it into crystalized shapes that can pulse energy to weaken or even stun the hero.


To Jeremiah, one does not become a hero just because someone else did before them. To be a hero is to be something far greater. That was what her grandmother did and it wasn't easy for her. It was difficult work and the world was not kind; Arachnos was out there and lots of terrible people lurking in the shadows.  
* <big>'''Hatred'''</big>: Love and hate come from the same coin. Hate can make her feel physically ill if it comes from someone's whole being. It can make her recoil in its strong bite. That being said, if love is stranger than hate, then perhaps love can overpower hate in time...  


But Audel looks her father in the eye and told him; "I want to be a hero to protect people!"
* <big>'''Ice Powers & Cold Temperatures'''</big>: She is very receptive against the cold and far more sensitive to those with ice powers.


That was all Jeremiah needed to hear. It was then did he give her something truly precious; Her grandmother's Sol Stone. If left in the light, it will always take the light from the sun and convert its flames to her own use. It had other magical potential and it was left for Audel only.  Just touching the stone for the first time made Audel feel warm and loved; like another part of her was here.
<br>


Audel felt whole.
= '''''<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color:#fa5c89">Nemeses</div>''''' =


Her first use of the sol stone was to give her flight and she flew all around Paragon City like she were a kid all over again. Audel flew as high as she could! She touched the clouds, waved to office workers in the sky lines and flew just above the cars. This was who she wanted to be!
<br>


== Today ==
: '''Arachnos''': To them, it was a worst fear come into fruition; one of the biggest heroes that fought against Arachnos had returned. It was enough to give Ghost Widow and even Lord Recluse to pause to that heroic name; Luficia. Many come at Audel in the hope of earning personal favor or under orders to try to destroy her. Originally believing it was Luficia herself, they learnt the truth of her heritage. When they couldn't contain her to have her secrets for themselves, they sought to find ways to destroy her instead.
<br>
: '''Nemesis''': This has been recent ever since joining Seismic Impact in saving the city one morning against a Rikti invasion and Nemesis revealed his hand in the plot. It was the first time she's exchanged real blows against Nemesis and his army but it wasn't forgotten.
<br>
: '''The Grun'Tuk Empire''': It's DC's fault, really. In his simulated life of a perfect world, he predicted how Audel with six others stopped the invasion of the Grun'Tuk. It was because of this prophecy that it reached the Grun'Tuk... Since then, she's been at war with them since that now has got the Accord involved. They have her marked and she won't stop fighting against the Empire.
<br>
: '''GobbaNak''': Even if he serves for the Grun'Tuk, his manipulative nature and magic prowess is not to be underestimated. With his own goals of achieving godhood, he's been set as one of the more deadly enemies to Audel to date.
<br>
: '''NetHack''': Kevin and the Passenger; an entity that nearly got Audel killed, she let her light burn against the eldritch monstrosity with Celestial and Dawnkeeper. Now no longer afraid of NetHack, she's prepared to let her light sting should he dare to darken her or her loved one's skies ever again.
<br>
: '''Count Bedlam''': It started out nice. The two shared a love of literacy and he seemed interesting. The fear of villainous betrayal was too great and after one incident, the two fell at odds. Bedlam's vengeance will come one day.


Audel Huxley took the mantle of Solarguard and is officially registered with a hero's license. When she isn't fighting the good fight, Audel is studying at the University for her athletics degree.
<br>


Solarguard's name is climbing up the ranks but some would find Solarguard looks almost familiar if they ever knew of Luficia.
<center> - </center>
<br>


While Audel is studying in college, she's taken up teaching yoga and gym lessons at a famous gym in Steel Canyon. Her classes get filled up quick with her dietary advice, exercise regimes and group yoga classes.
<center>'''''Always remember:'''''</center>


She was part of the New Defenders, under the tutelage of the Global Defense Force, for a short while. It was a learning experience but Audel wanted to defend the city her own way. Briefly forming the Steadfast Pact, it was interrupted by Arachnos. Having finally accepted Audel Huxley as an independent person, they wanted to take her and study her whole being. If they could create perfected homunculi like Luficia did, who knows what Arachnos would do with such a thing?
<br>


They kidnapped her from her apartment but it didn't last long; Audel broke out with ease and has been on the run in the Etoile Isles since.

Backstory


One June 20th, 2012, at 7:09 PM, a homunculi was created from the body of Emily Engel and an artificial soul gem created from herself and her grandfather. She stood in the body of a twelve year old girl, confused and scared of the sudden new world before her. With a near wall shattering wail, the raw power of the sun itself erupted before her and melted the entire ritual chamber.
No one could have anticipated that the power of the incarnate, that originally belonged to Luficia, would transfer over to the child nor could they have predicted the sol stone would become an incarnate artifact as well. Before anything could go wrong, she heard a voice call out in a comforting tone.
‘Everything’s going to be okay. You are loved and you are safe’
It was enough that fizzled out the power and caused the child to collapse. The only witness of the ritual, Jeremiah, scooped up the child in his arms and cradled her in his grasp.
Hence that day, she would go by a new name…


Audel.



After the Ritual...


As far as Audel knew, she was a twelve year old girl that lived in Paragon City all her life. She lived with her single father, Jeremiah, and they could only afford a cheap apartment in the Kings Row district.
While her dad did the best he could, he was also a part time hero himself and was gone for long periods of time trying to save the city. It left Audel alone with her books and looking out the window. With her unusual physical prowess, there wasn’t much she could play with; any attempts either broke what she touched or accidentally hurt other kids. The little girl felt like a monster.
She felt like a lost teenager with nowhere to go in life.. That is, until May Carter and Reed Davis approached her. They sat with her, asked about her interests and showed Audel things she could get into that didn’t involve hurting anyone. It brought so much light into her otherwise lonely mood.
Everything changed when she noticed the Vahzilok kidnapped May and Reed into the sewers. They were her only friends and she couldn’t let this stand! For once, she decided to not hold back with her power and fight them in the sewer.
Her friends weren’t the only ones she saved that day; there were other victims waiting to meet under the Vahzilok hacksaw. She burns through the undead, freeing her friends and other civilians in the process. She fought through any other gangs in her way, like the Skulls, and got everyone to safety.
It was a strange feeling, being thanked instead of scolded for her power.
It led Audel on a journey of self-discovery, learning her power slowly but surely. She learnt how to control the heat around her and make fire form in her hands, or how to use that raw power to fly through the air. Reed taught her some basics from his kickboxing classes and May snuck in a hand-made costume with stars and stripes.
The more Audel fought to protect the streets at night, the more she found herself more passionate about protecting the civilians. There was no real explanation how her powers came to be or why but she could do something meaningful about it. Even if her powers felt like the sun itself, she could harness it to protect people.
Even if some people feared her, there were others who admired her. The more Audel fought gangs and villains, the more she found herself growing attached to the people. Even if she didn’t understand people well or even herself, she had the urge to protect it with all her heart and soul.
Was this what it meant to be a hero? Is it to guard her friends, family and strangers with her solar might? If the city needed more heroes than she was more than happy to step up.
After all, that’s who she was now; Solarguard.


Today


Audel Huxley held the Solarguard moniker, fighting without a hero license up until she was eighteen years old. Her father found out and instead of grounding her, he let her sign up with a license under the condition that she held no secrets from him. He got a big ol’ hug as his answer.
Since then, she joined the New Defenders in 2022 and became friends with Anomalie, Direct Control, Sun-Gun, Ultrali and many others. Through them did she discover her homunculi heritage and learn to come to terms with it. Eventually, she left the New Defenders to pursue fighting for more than just the city; she wanted to protect the world.
Unfortunately, Arachnos wouldn’t allow it. They kidnapped her and wanted to study her to try to replicate her grandmother’s homunculi formula for themselves. She broke out and fled for a year until her old friends, now called the Accord, came to her rescue.
With new and old friends alike, she works with them as if they were her second family the whole time. Together, with the Accord, she works to be the hero she wants to be; protecting a world and all the people she loves so much in it.
Though the journey of a hero wasn't easy. With the return of Lukas and dealing with Science Lord Rixis, she lost part of her mother within her soul gem. Though thanks to Lukas' indirect hand, her mother's sacrifice and the well's intervention, Audel became something more...


Personality


Audel didn’t really have a childhood to develop much of a personality; she was very temperamental, struggling to figure out her own emotions when she was younger. It took meeting her friends and being part of the Accord to realize who she is; a kind hearted but excited woman with her playful side held deep within.
Her loving side is shown to her boyfriend, her friends and even strangers alike. Audel loves to cook and accommodate anyone she meets; she isn’t even above reaching a hand out to a villain in hard times with food.
Because she lacked a childhood, she doesn’t really have many hobbies except reading or other quiet activities. It wasn’t until her boyfriend did she find herself able to find other hobbies, to play, even.
Overall, Audel cares and growing older, it’s allowed her to be less temperamental and to open her heart even more to others.


Powers & Abilities


"Dawn's embrace, bring forth the day, chase the shadows, light my way! With your brilliance, banish the night, grant me strength in morning's light!"


  • Hemara Incarnate: Due to her mother’s sacrifice and interference from the Well itself, her mantle of Sol was replaced with Hemara. Her power and abilities have become associated with the day, emitting the goddess’ love to mankind. Her mantle shines in a pink ethereal light with matching wings sprouting from Solarguard's back. When she flies in the air, the light from her wings can part the darkness.


  • Hemara's Philosphers Stone: Audel is a homunculus and her soul resides within her soul gem. This gem was forged by Direct Control other associates to house Audel's soul. Since her mother's sacrifice from within the stone, its gained a pink glow from the red stone with tiny etheral wings emitting from it. Love pulses from it and holding it long enough can make you feel love within itself. It is a philosopher's stone and it is capable of reviving the dead. Although Audel's soul can no longer be sacrificed for it, the blessing of revival can happen only once a year.


  • Love Empowerment: Love through her mother and her incarnate power has increased her physical strength, durability and her solar powers. Should Audel run out of solar light and there’s no light to absorb from then she will be able to convert her love into light itself.


  • Loving Aura: Hermana's love, now Audel's, is always pulsing from her. Those with empathy powers will feel it, like a gentle warmth on a summer morning.


  • Super Strength
  • Invulnerability
  • Flight
  • Solar Energy Blasts & Projections
  • Solar Light & Energy Absorption
  • Heat Generation & Manipulation
  • Heat Transferal & Heat Immunity
  • Animal Empathy: Because of her light, small animals are attracted to Solarguard. They feel safe in her presence!



Weaknesses


  • Acranium: A mystical metal invented by some of the best scholars in Arachnos, it was made specifically to bind or cut through homunculi. Designed to assassinate Solarguard, it has become her personal kryptonite. Even if Acranium is used to forge shackles or metal bars, it is the only thing Audel can't break through brute force. New versions of acranium have shaped it into crystalized shapes that can pulse energy to weaken or even stun the hero.
  • Hatred: Love and hate come from the same coin. Hate can make her feel physically ill if it comes from someone's whole being. It can make her recoil in its strong bite. That being said, if love is stranger than hate, then perhaps love can overpower hate in time...
  • Ice Powers & Cold Temperatures: She is very receptive against the cold and far more sensitive to those with ice powers.


Nemeses


Arachnos: To them, it was a worst fear come into fruition; one of the biggest heroes that fought against Arachnos had returned. It was enough to give Ghost Widow and even Lord Recluse to pause to that heroic name; Luficia. Many come at Audel in the hope of earning personal favor or under orders to try to destroy her. Originally believing it was Luficia herself, they learnt the truth of her heritage. When they couldn't contain her to have her secrets for themselves, they sought to find ways to destroy her instead.


Nemesis: This has been recent ever since joining Seismic Impact in saving the city one morning against a Rikti invasion and Nemesis revealed his hand in the plot. It was the first time she's exchanged real blows against Nemesis and his army but it wasn't forgotten.


The Grun'Tuk Empire: It's DC's fault, really. In his simulated life of a perfect world, he predicted how Audel with six others stopped the invasion of the Grun'Tuk. It was because of this prophecy that it reached the Grun'Tuk... Since then, she's been at war with them since that now has got the Accord involved. They have her marked and she won't stop fighting against the Empire.


GobbaNak: Even if he serves for the Grun'Tuk, his manipulative nature and magic prowess is not to be underestimated. With his own goals of achieving godhood, he's been set as one of the more deadly enemies to Audel to date.


NetHack: Kevin and the Passenger; an entity that nearly got Audel killed, she let her light burn against the eldritch monstrosity with Celestial and Dawnkeeper. Now no longer afraid of NetHack, she's prepared to let her light sting should he dare to darken her or her loved one's skies ever again.


Count Bedlam: It started out nice. The two shared a love of literacy and he seemed interesting. The fear of villainous betrayal was too great and after one incident, the two fell at odds. Bedlam's vengeance will come one day.

Always remember:


The greatest power of all


is Love.
