Aubrey Carmichael

Aubrey Carmichael is the one of the main characters in The Reality Wars series. She is a detective, superhero, and now she is the Ambassador for Earth.

Early life
Aubrey Carmichael, also known as Angel, began life in February, 2272, the younger of the first set of twins in the Carmichael family. Her older brother, Drake, was born three minutes earlier. When she was six she was blessed with two younger sisters, when she was 11 she was graced with two younger brothers, and lastly, when she was 14 her final sister was born, and she was thrilled. When Aubrey was a young blonde-haired, greeneyed child, she showed remarkable intelligence, embraced learning quickly, and showed very early signs of an eidetic memory. Her tests were almost always perfect, and many supposed that she had developed her father’s power of super intelligence early.

Discovering her powers
This turned out not to be the case when Aubrey was 14. She slipped and fell over on the marble floor at home one day and smashed her head against the island. Her mother walked in as she was picking herself off the floor and rushed to her aid, only to find her head stitching itself back together. This surprised everyone as she was missing the tell-tale signs of a healer – she didn’t have the electric blue eyes that typically accompanied healers.

As Aubrey adjusted to her new power, she found herself increasingly tempted to test the limits of it, however resisted the urge to save herself some significant amounts of pain. Her twin brother became distant as she was working on her power more and more, to the point where she wouldn’t see him for weeks. One day he left a note on her bed, and she didn’t see him again.

Meeting Clayton
Upset, she focused on her studies, excelling and graduating from high school at the age of 16, and completing her dual degrees in medical sciences and anthropology by the age of 18. That was also the year she met her soon-to-be husband, Clayton. Whilst she was working at her restaurant job, Clayton came in and ordered, but they were interrupted by a meteor hurtling towards them. Clayton immediately took charge and got everyone out of the building. As Aubrey was pushed to the ground, Clayton grabbed her hand and phased them both through the meteor, the explosion, and the debris, saving their lives.

Clayton and Aubrey fell in love at first save and they embarked on an amazing romance, both joining the police force, going through training together, and then marrying shortly after at the age of 22 in the middle of their academy training. A small wedding was held, and they postponed their honeymoon until after graduation. Aubrey graduated at the top of her class, followed by Clayton and his Giant friend, and was put on the force in a medical examiner role before heading out into the field.

Starting a family
Two years into her field work, Aubrey started to feel ill, an experience she had not felt in almost six years. Scared about losing her power, she went to the doctor who informed her that she was pregnant, and her illness was a result of her power accelerating the child’s development as it didn’t see it as what it should be. She had her powers nullified temporarily there and then, and went to see Clayton. Clayton had news as well. Clayton seemed really excited at first about his news, and began to tell Aubrey, but Aubrey blurted out “Clayton, I’m pregnant!” in the middle of his sentence, and then he got truly excited and giddy.

Losing her brother
Six months into the pregnancy, Aubrey was visiting her sisters at her parents’ manor when her twin brother showed up out of the blue, grabbed Lauren, and made to leave. Aubrey got in the way, and he slammed her up into the wall, cracking her shoulder blade and breaking a rib. The very first thing Aubrey concerned herself with was the baby. It was fine, and Aubrey spent the remainder of her pregnancy in a sling. When she told Clayton, it was the first time she’d ever seen him truly get mad, and the next time she saw him, a full week later, he was bringing Lauren back home.

Aubrey realised that Clayton would be the most caring and responsible father she could hope for. Aubrey had her child a month early, as the acceleration at the beginning of the pregnancy had accelerated the child a month at minimum. As soon as she got her power back and her bones clicked back into place, she felt 100% again, but wouldn’t go back into the field for close to a year.

Returning to Heroism
When she returned to the field, she branded herself as Regeneress, and was a detective partnered with Clayton. She told him who or what to bring in, and he would do it. The most confronting task in Aubrey’s career and personal life was finally bringing in her twin brother.

In May, 2299, due to a set of lucky alliances, slip-ups, and an accidental power duplication, Aubrey watched as Clayton froze Drake’s body in stasis and placed his mind in a cybernetic prison, to live out his four life sentences for mass murder, armed robbery, terrorism, kidnapping, and villainy

Powers and abilities
Aubrey's main ability is Rapid Cellular Regeneration. She is able to heal rapidly from any injury, however is still able to be knocked unconscious if the impact is powerful enough.

Aubrey is also able to grow large wings from her back, which grant her the ability of flight, along with the necessary traits to accompany such a flight. While she is transformed, she is able to breathe at high altitudes, is resistant to cold weather, and her bones are hollower than the normal humans. Interestingly, she is the only super with this ability, and it is unable to be effectively copied by power duplicators.
