Josie Harlowe

**Josephine Harlowe:** Originally next in line for the throne of Vycerion but was sent to the first dimension as a child to escape a planned assassination. She later became host to the orange nebula force and gained the ability of the dragon's breath on her 17th birthday. She is also a demi-god. Eventually, she was used as a host for the other nebulla forces in an attempt to bring back Nebullus.

## Powers

Josie's natural abilities as a demi-god are fire-invulnerability and heightened senses.

With the dragon's breath, Josie has much more power. She can wield huge amounts of fire and energy as well as becoming invulnerable. She can summon dragons when in the 2nd dimension and create psionic ones when in the first.

Being host to the orange nebulla force, Josie's powers are heightened and she also can manipulate, create and project powerful cosmic energy.

When Josie became the host for the red, black and yellow nebulla forces she became even more powerful, generating a blast of energy so powerful it destroyed all life in the first dimension.

## Birth & Early Life

Through various events, Josie's mother became next in line for throne but was killed during child birth. Josie became the rightful heir to the throne and the dragon breath but was stolen at birth and brought to earth for her protection from an assassination attempt.

Josie was raised by a coven of dragon worshipers on earth, knowing her heritage. However, at a young age they were wiped out and Josie was left alone. She entered the foster system and suppressed her abilities despite several outbreaks. She gains the ability of the dragon's breath on her 17th birthday and used it to become a hero. She aided alongside Warren Rabe, Xander Ranks & the other heroes against the invasion. From here she was asked to be in The New Defenders. She accepted.

## New Defenders

As a member of the New Defenders, Josie unknowingly used her powers to aid En-Com. However as time went on Seline, as possessed by EVIL POSSESSOR'S NAME became conscious of Josie's immense powers. She devised her plan. During the battle against the new gods, Josie was kept on earth as crowd control though eventually became involved, learning of her heritage in the second dimension. She debated moving back to her realm to be queen, but her love for Connor & her familiarity with the first dimension convinced her to stay behind.

Eventually, Seline tested her theory of Josie's invulnerability by deploying the team into space and towards the Orange Nebulla Force. Seline was proved right when Josie became the host for the orange Nebulla force during this mission.

Josephine struggled with her new power as Selina began to control her. Josie aided Seline in acquiring the Pink, & Purple Nebulla forces. the possessor then abandoned Seline's body and moved into Josie's moving the other nebulla forces with it (excluding the blue and white).

Josie fought against possession but gave up after Seline killed Connor in front of her. Josie's body then became host to The Pink, Purple, Orange & Red Nebulla forces. The possessor used Josie's power to send a wave of energy through the galaxy, destroying all immediate life.

## Possession

The possessor used Josie's body to travel through the vacant galaxy searching for the further Nebulla forces, and tracking down the remaining bits of life remaining. The possessor's goal was to find the White and be able to recreate all life in the universe as it saw fit.

The survivors who fled into the second dimension though returned to the first one, bringing with them some of the forces of their worlds. They located the goddess of death, who had inherited Galexa's white with her own Black and convinced her to return all life annihilated by the first wave, even though it meant exposing herself. The possessor traveled towards them, and using the now returned Sarah wielding the White, along with Wesley and Yara wielding all pieces of the Blue Force, fought the Possessor.

Sensing the power within Sarah, the possessor moved into her body, but mid transition came under attack by Madeline Yung and lost the abilities Josie had before her possession. Josie, dealing with trauma, fled the scene in a fury of fire.

She returned to the dragon realm and regenerated her abilities there. She also acquired a dragon scale armor and then returned to the first dimension, trapping the possessor, now exposed as itself in a cage of fire. Josie destroyed both of them in a rush of power, using all the nebulla forces within the both of them to try and destroy the forces as a whole.
