Personality: Cunning and Devious= Don’t play mind games with him because he can play it better than you can. Stefan is a skillful expert at manipulating emotions. Like a puppet master, he’ll pull people’s strings and most often than not, find them doing things his own way. He finds people’s reactions funny and quite predictable. Perceptive and keen, he has sharp eyes for details, quickly pointing out others’ weaknesses in a snap and foreseeing their reactions next. Stefan is extremely clever, oftentimes, scarily so. He always has a calm and cool façade, though, not giving away that manipulative and cold-hearted interior to the observers. Beneath that imperturbable mask, however, is a calculating and devious brain. Stefan is extremely patient, like all predators are. He will wait and wait in the shadows and will get you when you’ll least expect it. People would often underestimate him because he is a man of few words and is most of the time silent. This, for Stefan, is a major mistake, and would usually end in his opponent’s downfall. His rule number one of surviving is: You should never ever think less of your opponents.
Polished and refined= Growing up in the lifestyle of the rich and famous, Stefan is a well-bred, well-educated young man. He had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and it’s no wonder why really that he could be a bit spoiled sometimes. He had been given everything he had wanted from day one. Heck, a flock of servants follow his every trail. Like most people reared in the uppercrust society, etiquette and good manners had been drilled into his very being. He likes looking his best at all times, and cares much for appearances. He can be a bit vain though, obsessing too much about how he looks.
Promiscuous = Charming as a snake, he can seduce even the most pious of nuns. He uses his looks as a tool to get what he wants, and usually he is successful at that. Stefan is one smooth-talking bastard, saying the right things people want to hear. It’s one of his special innate abilities. He discards girls right and left, not caring if he’d break a few hearts in the process. To him, it’s all just a very fun game. He won’t force you to play, but if you will, Stefan will make sure you’ll have the time of your life. There will be some girls that think that they had him under their thumbs, which is again, something that shouldn’t be believed in. He is the type of guy that can never be held down to one woman, no matter how beautiful she might be.
Competitive= Proud and arrogant, he will not bow down to anyone. He doesn’t care if he will hurt someone in the process of reaching his goals. Stefan has no qualms in lying, or cheating, or stealing in order for him to win. He will fight his way to the top, and if it means that he has to knock some pins down on his climb to that ladder, he’ll do it. If they’re not strong enough for that, it means they don’t deserve to be there in the first place. Stefan can have a tunnel-sight when he wants something bad. He’ll have his complete focus on his objective, never blinking or staring away from it. He doesn’t care much about the prizes or the trophies afterwards. It’s the title and the glory he is after. The end always justifies the means.
Distrustful = Stefan has huge trust issues. His barriers of defenses that are always up can rival the Great Wall in thickness and in height. He keeps himself locked inside his emotional safehouse, unwilling to open the gates for anyone. Rarely does he truly care about someone or something, but when he does, Stefan can be crazy possessive and territorial of everything that he owns. He is suspicious of people trying to befriend him, but he won’t show it. Stefan doesn’t believe that there is somebody selfless enough in this world. He thinks that everybody’s actions always have a motive behind it, and that everybody is just using the people around them for their own personal gain. Despite this thinking however, Stefan is a man of his word. He rarely promises to do anything, but when he does, he always manages to keep it. History: Cecile had been a very beautiful debutante at 18 during the Santangelo’s coming-out-to-society celebration for their only daughter. Coming from a very wealthy and famous family of casino and hotel tycoons, she was considered royalty among Manhattan’s elite, and so, it was considered almost a sacred duty to attend it. Cecile had always been pretty, but that night, she was stunning. It wasn’t wrong to assume, therefore, to say that that party was a raging success. Cecile was rich and lovely and young and naïve, therefore, it wasn’t very surprising that she caught the eyes of a lot of men. One man in particular, however, stood out from the rest. He was very suave and persuasive, and careless impulse made her spend the night with him. After that incident, however, he never showed his face to her again. Cecile hadn’t seen hair nor hide of the man that fooled and tricked her into sleeping with him. Her parents weren’t at all very pleased when she was found out to be pregnant 2 months after.
A quick arranged marriage to a rich old businessman named Gio Della Vega seemed the most appropriate solution. Gio was 65 when he married Cecile, a girl young enough to be his daughter. The Santangelos had no qualms about this just as long as the family name was not stained by the stigma brought upon by the bastard child. Stefan grew up not knowing any of these family secrets though. He thought he was pure Della Vega. He was barely two when his foster father died, and Stefan’s mother married another man after a year. This time, to an Italian mobster head. That marriage didn’t last very long--- barely six months--- because Cecile felt scared for her and for her son’s life. The dealings the mafia had were dangerous, and Cecile was smart enough to realize that stayed longer, it’s only a matter of time before she finds Stefano and her dead in the streets.
Growing up alone, Stefan had an encounter with a harpy when he was 12. He had managed to escape, of course, but barely. Young as he was, though, everything confused him. Immediately after that brief encounter with the monster, a stranger came to see him. He was very handsome and he had an odd aura about him. The newcomer introduced himself as Zeus and said that he was Stefan’s father. At first, the boy did not believe the man, but a lightning mark suddenly appeared on his left shoulder, on his bicep, burning and searing his skin. Zeus was quick to remark that he had recognized and claimed Stefan as his own. He was brought to Half Blood Academy every school year, and for 6 years now, he had stayed there.
He met his stepsister, Vesper Vane, in the same school. At first he didn’t know her because they’ve never met, but her last name had rang a bell. It turns out that she was Lex Vane’s, his stepfather’s, daughter. Ves was so like Stefan in so many ways, it had amused him to no end. They hated each other’s guts, but they have a grudging sense of respect for each other too. One could almost say they were friends. There’s the shameless flirting with her, of course, but she always seemed to dodge his every advances, which only made him all the more want her. Law of Nature: You always seem to want what you don’t have. Abilities: -electrokinesis -can summon lightning bolts from the sky -skin is electrically charged, so that he can't be touched unless he willed it -can throw balls of energy from his hand and make it explode -can withstand shocks and large amounts of electricity -telepathic communication with his father's animals such as hawks and eagles.
Weaknesses: -extremely narcissistic/cares a lot about his looks -proud and arrogant -snarky as hell -can be mean -trust issues -selfish and spoiled -doesn't care about others
Thinking of applying for a Big Three child as your first character?
A small single slap in the night penetrated through the thick atmosphere of silence.
Then a sob. And the sound of running footsteps.
In the dark, Stefan rubbed his cheeks that turned red from the sting of the strike, but wasn’t at all bothered. He had already gotten used to this. Another girl, another drama. He shrugged his shoulders in an uncaring manner. Somehow, it always ended with him as the bad guy. Stefan had always made it clear that he wasn’t interested in a serious relationship, but girls always had this laughable notion that they could, along the course of them being together, change his mind and make him stay. Not his fault. Sure, he’d play along and treat them as queens, but once his interest has waned and he had gotten bored, it was time to leave them and move on to the next one. Frankly, Stefan thought that they should be thankful enough for the time that they’ve been together. Whatever happened to that saying, “It’s better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all?”
Shaking his head, he jammed his hands in his pockets and decided that maybe a casual stroll in the beach would be a good thing for him. Maybe clear his head a little. Hmm... a fine night, he thought absentmindedly as he gazed at the thousand blinking stars above in the cloudless sky. The gentle sea breeze softly tousled his dark locks, but he made no move as an indication that this was an inconvenience. It was a nice sensation, afterall. Closing his eyes, he filled his lungs with the slight salty smell of the sea, and immediately feeling some of his tensed muscles relax a little at that.
He was about to turn and head back to his cabin when he heard voices talking not a little too far from where he was. Arching a dark brow, Stefan curiously made his way to where those sounds were heard, wondering who else could be up this time of night. Wasn’t there some kind of Academy rule about lights out? Demigods were supposed to be in their respective bunks at 11pm. He chuckled at the absurdity of his thoughts. Here he was--- alert, awake, and out of his bed. Who was he to cast judgment on those silly students that decided tonight was the perfect night to disregard rules? He had blatantly broken a lot of School rules himself, but was clever enough to not get caught. If Stefan had a penny for every code he had shattered, he’d be twice as rich as he already was. The only difference with him than the other troublemakers was that he was very discreet about his affairs.
Arriving at the scene, he squinted his eyes, trying to make out the two figures in front of him. One seemed to be a guy, and the other, a girl, but both were in the water and seemed to be quite distracted, having their attention only with each other. Crossing his arms over his chest as if amused by this, he continued observing them, wondering if the guy was going to get some action tonight. He really couldn’t determine who they were, since the only light source present there was the moon’s. Of course, Stefan could always summon a thunderbolt or create a lightning energy ball in his hand, but he wasn’t sure that was such a good idea. One, he could give away his location and ruin the guy’s chances of getting some action tonight. And two, Stefan could shock and electrocute them since they were still in the water. Plus, he thought that it wasn’t really that necessary to find out who they were.
They were entertaining him, that was enough.
