Powers & Abilities

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.

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.

Enhanced Combat & Fitness: That training in the gym isn't just for show. She's flexible for a reason.

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.

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.

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.

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.

  • 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.

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

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.

Personality

In her early age, she was nothing like her introverted mother.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Backstory

Before Audel, was Emily Engel.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

... 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 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.

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.

Audel Huxley was born into the world.


Early Childhood

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.

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.

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.

Audel would get the all clear and deemed her power to be natural but would have special classes to help control her strength.

Teenage Years

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.

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??

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.

Early Adulthood

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.

One day, her father sat her down and asked her one important question; Why do you want to become a superhero?

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.

But Audel looks her father in the eye and told him; "I want to be a hero to protect people!"

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.

Audel felt whole.

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!

Today

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.

Solarguard's name is climbing up the ranks but some would find Solarguard looks almost familiar if they ever knew of Luficia.

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.

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?

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.

Villains & 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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
