SITUATIONAL BIOMORPHIC ADAPTATION: Julia’s so-called ‘saving throw advantage’ is a metahuman ability to manifest a power or transform her body in response to danger to herself or others nearby.She has limited control over this power and can trigger a manifestation at will in some situations, but she has very little say on the transformations or powers she manifests. The only constant factor is that she exclusively manifests defensive abilities.Recently, I've observed that she can trigger a rage-state where she seems to be able to exert more control over her powers. This could be how she can learn to have more influence in her manifestations.

*   OTHER SKILLS AND EQUIPMENT

MARTIAL ARTS PROFICIENCY: After going through Aegis close-combat training and working with Evie, Jules has developed her own combat style. Combining Aegis CQC drills, her own childhood wushu experience, and the innate danger sense of her powers, she's a powerful counter-fighter complemented with great striking ability.BASIC FIREARMS TRAINING: She completed basic Aegis weapons courses, giving her knowledge on how to operate and maintain firearms. While she doesn't use this often, it's come in handy in the rare cases where she needs them.GADGETRY: During her time at Aegis, Advantage has gathered many types of equipment to assist her on the field. Chief among them a set of less-lethal dice bombs, extendable electro-tonfa, and a retractable shield gauntlet.

*   CHARLIE'S NOTES

Jules is the classic case of “too good for this business.” That said, I do appreciate her strong sense of justice — and it seems her time at Aegis tempered that “hero” mentality into something a little more balanced.She confided to me some time ago that she does have some lingering anger issues that's been there all her life. Seems like she's gotten a lot more control over that, but I think she still gets some outbursts every now and then. I've also noticed some...manipulative tactics she used in persuading people to agree with her. Not a big red flag, we've all done worse.Despite her faults, it’s refreshing to write something about somebody so well-balanced for once. All I gotta say is that I hope she becomes the hero she wants to be. I have full belief she will.

AEROKINESIS: Her new alien tech(?)-based armor gives her the power to generate and control air. So far, she's created cutting edges using high-pressure wind, cyclones, and achieved wind-powered flight. She can also use her powers to manipulate objects remotely.ALIEN ARMOR: She said she got it from an artifact on the planet Boreas. I won't pretend to know where that is or how this thing works, but what I can tell is that it's attached quite well into the nanites running in her bloodstream. It seems to be less durable than what she used to have, but it more than makes up that shortcoming with speed.(FORMERLY) NANOTECHNOLOGY-BASED ABILITIES: As far as I can tell, all her nanotech-based powers she previously had was overwritten by her new abilities.

*   OTHER SKILLS AND EQUIPMENT

CYBERNETICS EXPERT: She's one of the best cyberneticists I know. Almost a leading expert in cybernetic applications for humans, especially in nanotechnology.MEDICAL TRAINING: The prerequisites of her field (and our shared notes during college) made her pretty good at handling human bodies. She's no official medical doctor, but she can at least administer basic treatment and diagnose ailments with some accuracy.HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT: Skylar used to be on her high school and collegiate wrestling team. She's an expert in positioning and anticipating movement. Pair that with her newfound speed, she's one hell of a combatant.ENHANCED STRENGTH AND DURABILITY: While her previous powers are gone, she still retains some enhanced physical attributes from the preparation for her old nanotechnology injection.

*   CHARLIE'S NOTES

(Good luck being impartial with this one)Skylar is one hell of a team player. She comes in clutch whenever needed, and she’s saved our asses more times than I care to count during the run-up to Operation Coronation.She’s a little bullheaded, but her heart’s usually in the right place. Survivor’s guilt from being the sole survivor of the [PROJECT REDACTED] attack still weighs on her, though. She gets hung up on the people she can’t save rather often, even when she saved more through her actions.I don't know what happened with the whole alien artifact thing, but I just hope it won't hurt her. Personal feelings aside, I think she’s an excellent all-rounder and one to keep on speed dial in case we need her expertise.

PORTAL CREATION: Evie has the metahuman ability to create portals to anywhere she’s been before or places she can vividly visualize with aids, like through videos or photos.I'm still measuring her upper limits, so her peak potential is currently unknown. She's been known to use them to travel intercontinentally, but creating portals further away tends to drain her energy quicker.She's also learned to infuse her portal energy into her ammunition, creating spatial distortions that ravage the target's insides even worse than regular bullets.

*   OTHER SKILLS AND EQUIPMENT

TOTAL BATTLEFIELD AWARENESS: Her naturally sharp senses, enhanced spatial awareness, and combat experience combines into an ‘instinct’ that helps her analyze people and things around her quickly and accurately. I've seen her accurately count down multiple magazines in the middle of a pitched battle and use the opponents' moment of reloading to strike back.The only bad thing I've seen out of it is that she can't really turn it off, and too many variables can overwhelm her sometimes.EXPERT MARTIAL ARTIST: Her total battlefield awareness is near-precognitive in close-combat situations. She's developed a style that combines evasion and parries with devastating counter-attacks. She's found great success in locking down an opponent's body part and devastating them with strikes, submissions, and small-joint manipulation tactics.EXPERT FIREARM COMBATANT: She's pretty much born with a weapon in her hand. She's handled all kinds of firearms and has familiarity with nearly all of the gear we used back in Aegis. Even if she's unfamiliar with a gun, she'll take right to it within seconds.EXPERT WEAPONSMITH: Evie likes to tinker with weapons and adjust things to fit her next mission. I see her talk shop with Joanna all the time and I don't know half of the things they're saying. But what I know is that they know what they're doing.GEAR: Various firearms and explosives, tailored to her needs at the time. She also carries a pair of electroshock batons for close combat.

*   CHARLIE'S NOTES

Evie is driven, focused, and willing to do anything to achieve her goals. She always plays like she has something to prove — which unfortunately leads to her being bullheaded as all hell, most times to her detriment.That said, she’s a good boss, and an even better friend. She genuinely cares for the people under her charge. Had anybody else came to me with the offer to join Mistral, I'd have turned them down.Mistral seems to be good for her. She's doing things on her own terms, and she's proven to be a capable leader once again. Maybe managing a smaller unit is what she needed all along.

ADDENDUM:Evie was considered MIA after Operation Coronation. Adeline's task force took over recovery operations and managed to find her, although she was [REDACTED]. I'm still keeping an eye on her for further developments.

ANDROID PHYSIOLOGY: Her body is a high-performance humanoid combat chassis designed for infiltration and combat. That encounter with gravity showed her incredible resilience, and I've seen her strength in action. She's still a bit unrefined and unused to combat, but I have a feeling she might have to.STEM CELL PROTOCOL: I don't know the true nature of this add-on to her body, but supposedly it allows her to take the powers of the other Mujina units she defeated. I'll have to see how it works in practice, but that sounds useful.

*   OTHER SKILLS AND EQUIPMENT

EXPERT HACKER: Turns out she's done a lot more than code finance apps and insurance calculators. Don't know where she learned it from, but she's one hell of a cracker. Tore apart a Mujina complex's firewall like it was paper. She'll be amazing help, especially since we don't have access to Reboot anymore.MUJINA COMBAT PROGRAMMING: While removing her kill mode, I also implanted a chip containing basic Mujina combat programming. It seems to act like the "I know kung fu" thing in the Matrix, so she's basically instantly proficient in combat. Of course it can still be sharpened with practice, but that's a good start.NEURAL NETWORK EXPERTISE: In her previous life, Alice was a leading expert in neural networks and how to implement them in robotics. I've read the papers Alvin co-authored with Dr. Stern and honestly? Mindblowing. It's a bit ironic she's now the living proof of their theories, but I'm glad she's here with us. Great knowledge like that can't be lost forever.

*   CHARLIE'S NOTES

This woman has so many layers it's amazing that she's still functioning. I can't imagine how it feels to have your entire life be revealed as a fabrication. That, and the fact that you're made from a copy of a dead person's mind? Crazy.I'm keeping a close eye on her. She seems well-adjusted enough for all that she's through, but I know from experience that it probably won't stay that way for long. Either way, she's been a great friend and someone I can really nerd out with.

ELECTRO-MAGNETOKINESIS: Her meta powers are...scary, to say the least. She's got amazing control over both the electricity and magnetic part of her powers, and she combines it to great effect. One of her favorite techniques involves charging up metal objects with electricity and throwing them at absolutely mind-boggling speeds, essentially creating a railgun with screws and everyday tools.Magnetic powers also mean she can easily stop bullets and redirect them back to the sender. Hell, she's even thrown back an exploding frag grenade back to the thrower.

*   OTHER SKILLS AND EQUIPMENT

MASTER TACTICIAN: She specializes in small-unit tactics, as evidenced by her Zephyr unit being one of the best in the business. But she's no slouch in bigger ops, which is exactly how she landed big contracts that put Aegis Europe on the map. And more importantly, moving her up the company's line of succession.EXPERT COMBATANT: She's both impressive and terrifying to watch on the field. Brutality and efficiency made manifest. I've seen her clear an entire building with just a pair of metal spheres and whatever bits of metal she can find inside. An absolute monster in close combat, too. She has custom gloves and boots that essentially act as tasers when combined with her electrokinesis.AEGIS BACKING: With Adeline at the helm, that means she has the weight of an entire company behind her. Billions of dollars in weapons and equipment, thousands of contractors and service personnel. I'd hate to be on the wrong end of that, that's for sure.

*   CHARLIE'S NOTES

Now that she's head honcho, Aegis is as tight as ever. Her Zephyr Squadron is one of the best in the game today. She’s as close you can get to a superstar in our world.With everything that happened between her and Evie, I'm afraid to even do a temp check. I know she's a pro and won't allow feelings to get in the way of business, but I'd rather let things cool down before suggesting Evie to do anything.Considering that her little sister’s personal crusade cost the company lots of good people and even more resources, I can see why things would get so heated between them.(I won’t even mention their sibling competitiveness here. That warrants a whole file on its own.)In all honesty, she scares me. I know she has the same goals as we all do, but there’s just this impenetrable aura to her. Let’s hope things cool down and we can eventually gain a mutual understanding. I believe we have so much more to gain working together than staying apart.
