Steffan Christopher

## Backstory

To Apollo's discomfort, he ended up pregnant by the Archangel Raphael, which they planned in an effort to create a child who could help others with unmatched healing abilities. Before Steffan was born, Apollo also aligned with Sekhmet, and they agreed to have Sekhmet channel a small amount of energy into Steffan already. This way Steffan would be more likely to be able to be Sekhmet’s host later on in life, and he’d be able to use Egyptian magic from birth. When he gave birth to Steffan, he wasn’t planning to raise them himself, so he sent Steffan off to Chiron when they were less than a year old. When Steffan was starting to train at Camp Half-Blood, Apollo came down every so often to help him and trained him in both healing and combat. When Steffan was 10, Sekhmet started talking to him via their connection, and she ended up choosing him as her eye for a short period of time. During this time she taught Steffan how to use his Magician abilities, and helped him grow. She left his body again about a year and a half later but regularly comes back.

Steffan got pretty close with Daisy Amaryllis when they were younger, for they both grew up in Camp Half-Blood. Since they’re a child of Apollo, on top of being a Nephilim and being a previous Eye of Sekhmet, they mainly focus on healing and also arts. Steffan was the one that helped Bamby Richy heal and helped her control her powers.

I am Steffan, host to the Goddess Sekhmet, the lioness, son of the God Apollo, carrier of the sun, and of the Archangel Raphael, healer of men... around me, it is never night.

## Powers and Abilities

### Angel Ability

* Steffan took after his father Raphael, and can call upon him an aura of light that heals people. When using this ability, a faint halo can be seen above his head.

### God Powers

* Vitakinesis; Like most children of Apollo, Steffan is a natural at healing others by channeling Apollo’s energy through themselves, often done by singing a small hymn.
* Heliokinesis; Steffan can produce small beams of sunlight from their body. They need to store sunlight in their own body beforehand, like a battery.
* Audiokinesis; Steffan can produce a deafening and disorienting whistle.
* Truth Sense; Steffan can inherently sense whenever someone is lying.

### Magician Abilities

* General Abilities
	+ Divine Words; Through Sekhmet, Steffan has learned a small number of Divine Words, which he can use to cast spells. These are mostly related to healing and mending.
	+ Duat Travel; Through thorough meditation, Steffan’s ba can enter the Duat for short periods of time.
* Path of Sekhmet Abilities
	+ Shield of Sekhmet; The main ability Steffan has learned and grown accustomed to is the Shield of Sekhmet, which is a spherical barrier spell that shines like the sun. It is near impenetrable by any non-magic means, and he can hold it up for quite a while, so long as he keeps his concentration.
	+ Sekhmet Communication; Having been connected to Sekhmet since birth, and then again, later on, Steffan has the ability to telepathically communicate with Sekhmet. He, however, refrains from doing so, finding it rude to do, so he only does this when it’s absolutely necessary.
	+ Animal Charming; Steffan can charm and control the animal associated with Sekhmet, the Lion.

## Weapons

### Mist Weapon

* Egyptian-style scepter, that looks like a wooden ladle when viewed through the mist.
