Seraph Elia Lucia
A Seraph of the Appalachian Nation, Elia is a divine holy warrior of the Seraphic Church, tasked with carrying out the Church's will within the borders of the Divine Nation and beyond those borders. Her metahuman abilities showed early, at the age of three, and thus Elia was taken into the Church as a small child and trained from a young age to become one of the Seraphim. Her family surname was dropped and stricken from record when she went to the Church, as all God-Touched are considered the sons and daughters of the Church and God. The surname Lucia, of light was given to her on her ascendance to the Seraphim two years prior, at the age of 17. As of yet, she has not carried out any missions of God beyond the borders of the Appalachian Nation.
Faith
And God Shall Believe In Me, As I Believe In Him
Elia's Faith is a measure not of her own faith in God, but in her interpretation of God's faith in her. It is the ability to do more, should it be the will of God and necessary to Him. This Faith is limited, and should not be abused. Elia recovers her Faith through prayer and meditation.
Quicken
The Touch Of God Shall Hasten My Steps
An ability more born of training than innate, Elia has studied the ways of the Seraphim before her and learned how to move more quickly than an average person. This is not the ability to break the sound barrier, but rather a slight increase. It can be further pushed by the activation of Faith, giving her a brief moment of speed that is enough to dodge bullets, albeit only for a moment.
Voice
Heed My Words, For They Are Of The Lord
The Voice is partially marked by Faith, but largely developed of psychology and studies of tone. Words spoken in the Voice seem reasonable or believable - it is the Voice which commands people to step aside, to remove themselves from danger, or to kneel before God. Pushing her Faith into the Voice allows Elia something akin to momentary mind control - any words she speaks will be believed to be true, any commands she gives will seem reasonable and be obeyed. Those of strong will may be able to push off the effects of the Voice, but most normal people are affected by it.
Weaponry
For I Am The Sword Of God, His Shield, And His Spear
Elia has trained in most biblical-age weaponry, and is capable of using it proficiently. Her preferred weapon is the spear. Using her Faith through her weaponry allows her to increase her accuracy, striking strength, and the sharpness of the blade as it strikes or the solidity of the shield as it defends her.
Light
The Light Of God Shall Be Shaped Through My Hands
Elia's specific ability, and the metahuman talent that brought her to the Seraphim in the first place, is the ability to create and mold the light of God. She can bring light to dark places, or manipulate its shape and color, or sharpen it into a blade of light itself - what others might call a laser. The light may blind the enemies of God, or bring solace to His faithful. Elia's Faith allows her to deepen this ability further, shaping the light beyond light itself, merging it with the Fire of God into something more akin to plasma.
May God Grant Me Obedience, That I May Perform His Will
