Stefan Köhler Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Stefan Köhler biography German mother Cornelia Köhler was a sculptor located in Dorsten. She wasn’t well known and her art was sold cheaply to locals, but it was the craftsmanship and love she put into it that made Hephaestus interested in her. The two courted briefly in which Cornelia created many pieces inspired by their love. But as with any relationship between a god and a mortal, it ended with a demigod child. Cornelia was saddened that her love had to go but she held her head up high and bid him goodbye with her hands round her slightly swollen belly. The next months were spent packing and moving to Hesse, a new start for Cornelia and her baby who was born later that year on December 8th 2002. The little baby boy was then named Stefan Köhler after a crown wreath that hung over his mother’s medium of art. Unfortunately later the next year, an insurgency began and riot filled the streets where the pair lived. They lasted two years because they did not want to move after just getting settled but soon made haste to flee in his mother’s beat up Volkswagen. The drive was long with little stops and poor Stefan crying almost non stop. They had almost arrived at the border of Germany when another car slammed into theirs, Cornelia was saved from most of the worst harm getting bruised and having a broken leg but unfortunately Stefan went flying from her makeshift car seat and badly hurt himself- wounding his arm in the process. An ambulance came a few hours later and rushed them to a hospital in a local hospital where they treated Cornelia’s arm and surgery was performed on her son. Because of the late arrival of the ambulance and the excessive tissue damage, they could not save Stefan’s arm so he lived the next two years without it. Surviving to that point was nothing short of a challenge for him, he used to get lots of weird looks for his rather unusual disability. But he proved himself time and again, he didn't need to be normal to do the things the other kids did. He managed on his own and that's what mattered really. The other kids did take note- they were all wondering how Stefan manages to do what they do without a complete left arm. Without the support and encouragement of his History teacher, he would not have gathered the resolve to persevere. It was the day that Stefan was staying late after school for an extracurricular activity listening to music, probably louder than he should have been when a spark flew. It took half an hour for half of the building he was in to catch fire and for him to notice the smoke. Grabbing the iPod he was using, he sprinted out of the room to see another student trapped in debris and hear the fire truck alarms. Rushing over to the other student he hefted the debris out of the way, the poor kid’s shirt was on fire so Stefan practically ripped it off. With the boy on his back, he dodged flames and debris and ten minutes later the fire crew found them all covered in ash and soot coughing. But it wasn't till he was falling asleep that the thought drifted to him, he saved someone’s life. The next week, his History teacher, Mr. Birch had the boy stand up front in class so he could present to him a brand new functional prosthetic arm with a hook.. A reward for quite a feat he had accomplished, he thought it was too much since he knew this tech is not something anyone can just afford. Nevertheless, he accepted because he wanted one in the future but did not think he would get one so soon. He became more active in helping his mother since then so he became complacent with her lifestyle. Much later, he was unprepared for what happened when he was twelve, Stefan didn't know how the creature had found him but he knew it had come to kill something. Just not him. He was taking a stroll around their local park late in the evening looking for some inspiration with a sketchbook and fountain pen. He had a little device that linked to his mother’s phone so he could alert them if he was in danger. He just stared at its glowing red eyes and massive size frozen in fear and fascination… Okay, it came to kill him but he stood his ground. Before he was about to attack, the creature was slain before his eyes by the person he had never expected to witness… Mr. Birch. He then flipped a coin that landed on Stefan’s prosthetic left hand with a grin. “If you were going to attack, you might as well use something that’ll kill those bastards." He paused. You didn't know? That was the same creature that started the fire t school back then.” And it was fortunate timing as well or unfortunate timing, depending on how one decides to view this. When such an incident happened, his mother was hesitant to let him go. She was afraid that her son would be viewed differently simply because of his left arm but Mr. Birch had reassured her with his position in a nonprofit organization for amputees. He uses this to his advantage, explaining how he is certain that camp would be the best place for him right now so the both of them can live their lives without having to worry about mythical hazards. Once it is set in stone, they venture to Camp Half-Blood and Stefan was soon claimed by his father Hephaetus at the evening bonfire. Stefan decided to stay in camp year-round much to his mother's dismay but she knew it was better for him to feel safe than to face danger every so often. Personality Stefan is a quiet person. It’s not that he’s shy, he just doesn’t like talking when there’s no need to, and he’s rarely a conversation starter. If he gets engaged in the topic, however, he can go on for hours, but under normal circumstances he’d just be sitting down and observing things. Stefan is also a really smart guy, and very creative. His skills in forging are top-notch, and he gets the craziest ideas for weapons and machines to build. Sometimes his quietness gets channeled into this, that instead of talking a lot like other people, he translates his energy to building stuff instead, and it works for him because it’s what he likes doing the most and it’s what he’s actually good at. When it comes to relations with other people, he’s friendly, but quiet friendly, like he’d consider you friends but he’s not going to be outgoing or adventurous, he will just be someone you can talk to or lean on or enjoy companionable silence with. As mentioned above, he’s not shy per se, he’s just not really much of a talker. In his spare time, when he’s not tinkering or in the workshop, Stefan likes taking long walks in the forest or on the beach, just thinking about stuff and reminiscing about his mother. He likes nature, and some of his past times involve going out appreciating the different sceneries around him. He is also very tech-savvy and would often tinker with the devices he finds in hopes that he can build prosthetic parts with the cheapest materials but yield the greatest results. Even so, you can find him seeing how other tech works by dismantling them so his workbench would sometimes be cluttered and disorganized.
