Meeting Jeremiah: As a young child Everett would go and visit his ailing Grandmother who was dying of Alzheimer’s disease. She could no longer remember Everett and was getting to the point that she was swearing allot. Everett never knew her like this and she didn't know what to do. This caused his parents to limit the time he was in the room with her. Everett just couldn't understand why Grandma Ruth was this way, it wasn't but a couple of years before that she would hold him in her arms and tell him stories and laugh and play. As Everett was out in the hallway one day talking to Dr. Horn he was recalling how his grandma used to be. With a grin on Dr. Horn's face, he told the boy that, "everything happens for a reason," and to just remember her before she got sick. Dr. Horn was a great friend of the Weise's and he had been their doctor for many years. So he told Everett's parents that he was going to introduce Everett to a dear friend a couple of doors down from Grandma Ruth. His name was Jeremiah Ben Joseph. Everett learned that Jeremiah had wonderful stories, just like his Grandma. Reluctantly, at first, Miriam let him sit in with Jeremiah, while his parents would care for Grandma Ruth. She found Jeremiah to be a pleasant man and decided that it wasn't such a bad thing to let Everett stay and talk to him. Everytime they would go to see Grandma Ruth, Everett would sit and listen to stories from Jeremiah.
The Gift: Jeremiah would tell stories of ancient people, and ancient struggles like no other person in the world. This inspired Everett to eventually pursue the field of Archeology. Jeremiah would tell him of prophesies foretold, and biblical knowlegde that had a certain flare to them. Eventually Jeremiah realized that Everett was the boy of Prophesy, the child who he was to give his great power to. Jeremiah handed Everett his most loved possession a Necklace that him mother gave him. It was a very old necklace. The power was in that gift that he passed on to Everett. Then with his last story and then he passed away; softly fading away. Everett saw a peace to Jeremiah as if he had gone home, and knew that he was in a happier place. The power wasn't in the necklace, it was in the gift and someday Everett's most prized possession would pass it onto the next.

Strengths:
Power: He has a blue flame that encases him. As he gets more powerful the whiter the flame becomes. At his fullest strength he is as bright as the sun. Seraph has learned to control the heat to only be where he wants it to be. Someone could be standing next to him and still not feel the heat or be incinerated. He masters the control of heat waves so that he can make objects lighter or heavier with the right concentration; this also makes it possible for him to fly. In flight he forms what looks like six wings - like the Seraphim in the Bible - Two covering his eyes, two on his back, and two covering his feet. He also has what is called a "ghosting effect." He can literally have things pass through him or can pass through objects. To do it is mostly instinctual, but with concentration can control it. The Ghosting effect is usually for his protection, however, it does weaken him when he uses it.
Greatest Strength: Comes from what he has learned from others. Wisdom from Grandpa Jim, Strength and long suffering from his mother, Courage and Love from Tex, Faith from Pastor John, Sacrifice from his Father. Knowing that he is not alone and that they sculpted him to be the man he is gives him his greatest power. Through knowing he cannot do it alone in his humility is his power source.


Weaknesses: Pride comes before the fall! It is when we "well up" in ourselves and believe that what we accomplish was by our own strength that hurts us the most. If he has too much confidence in what he can do, then he is his weakest. The more prideful he becomes the weaker and more vulnerable he is. He is also afraid of fire, because it took his fathers life and he is afraid that he will take someone else’s if used incorrectly. The Ghosting effect weakens him, and the heat waves only soften the blows.

This is a good start and we can adjust from here!
