Chris Halliwell

"Chris. Chris Perry. I'm from the future." - Chris to Phoebe.

Christopher Perry "Chris" Halliwell is the second born child of the next generation of Charmed witches as well as the second child and son of Charmed One; Piper Halliwell and then Elder; Leo Wyatt. He is the younger brother of Wyatt Halliwell and the older brother of Melinda Halliwell and the second nephew of Prue and Phoebe Halliwell and Paige Matthews.

Known as the Time Traveler, Chris is seen as being a very powerful young witch with ties to the sands of time. He is seen to have a multitude of power though it is mainly for time and moment with his telekinetic abilities and a terrifying power of world projection. Like several of his cousins, Chris is a witchlighter with him being the only son of an Elder in existence. Additionally, Chris possesses the basic powers of a witch; the ability to cast spells, brew potions, and scry for lost objects or people. Due to his abilities and his past he is usually seen as Wyatt's second as well as the voice of reason within the new generation of Charmed children, and highly protective of his family.

Chris, at fifteen years old, is currently in his freshmen year of Washington high school with his big brother; Wyatt and is involved in some extra-curricular activities and his expressed an interest in becoming a chef like his mother and wanting to one day inherit Charmed.

Chris is part of the Warren family line of witches dating back to the 16th century and beginning with Melinda Warren.

Pre-Birth
More than a year before his birth during the attack of the Titans, Chris, arrived in the past wanting to save his brother Wyatt from turning evil, and in trying to do that had broken up his parents and become the Charmed Ones whitelighter, promoting Leo to being an Elder, with Chris going under the alias of Christopher Perry.

The sisters and especially Leo find it hard to trust Chris as he is secretive and constantly telling them he can't tell them because of "future consequences". It is later discovered that Chris was half-witch when a Phoenix Assassin; Bianca arrived from the future to take his back to the past, back to Wyatt. Bianca was killed by Wyatt and Chris became determined that he would either save Wyatt or kill him. During a premonition, Phoebe later discovered that Chris was Wyatt's brother, and so tried to help him resulting in Paige discovering Chris' identity when Chris told her.

On Wyatt's first birthday, the day Chris was due to be conceived a darklighter attacked Leo, sending both he and Piper to the astral world, while at the same time the Angel of Death visited Chris to tell him of his time was up. Chris disappeared however, was also conceived which resulted in him returning and the sisters soon telling Piper that she was pregnant with Chris. Upon finding out about Chris, Piper became determined to protect and get to know him, with her believing that Chris hated her, however it was later discovered that he didn't hate her but couldn't get close to her because she was dead in his future. The two eventually made piece with their future.

During an attack by a spider demon whom wanted to kill the most powerful witch alive that being a pregnant Piper, Chris discovered that Wyatt had powers from inside the womb which furthered his inferiority complex with his brother. Chris was also infected by the spider demon and so gave both himself and his mother up to the demon. Phoebe and Paige were then forced to tell Leo of his son, and Leo had managed to save Chris and Piper just in time and had later discovered why Chris hated him. The two eventually reconciled, with Leo having promised he would be there for Chris.

It was later discovered that Gideon, an Elder and the headmaster of magic school was after Wyatt and wanted to kill him with Barbas' help. When trying to stop Gideon, the Elder had stabbed Chris with a powerful atheme which later resulted in his death, which nearly killed his baby self as well as killing his future self. Leo then killed Gideon, restoring an unbalanced world to rights again.

Early Life
Chris Halliwell was born November 16, 2004 to Warren witch and Charmed One; Piper Halliwell and then Elder; Leo Wyatt at San Francisco Memorial hospital on the same day that his future self died. Weeks after being born, caused for both his parents to go to the extremes with Piper becoming even more protective than normal and Leo being unable to look at Chris, due to failing him. Chris was nearly kidnapped by Barbas but saved by Piper.

A short while after his birth, Wyatt began getting jealous of Chris and so began orbing him about, until their Grams' was able to put a stop to the sibling rivalry and he was blessed by his Ancestors at his Wiccaning soon after. Over the next few years Chris lived in a protected bubble with his parents and aunts, often spending a lot of his time with his grandfather Victor Bennett.

In late 2006, just before his second birthday, Chris came into his Magic when he, according to Wyatt, helped his elder brother cheat in a game of Candy Land by switching the cards around to confuse their Grandfather Victor Bennett. After Wyatt was kidnapped by The Jenkins Sisters, Victor proceeded to urge Chris to bring Wyatt back home. After finally sensing the presence of his elder brother, Chris used his powers to Orb Wyatt back home to their Grandfathers house before Christy and Billie could hurt him.

After the ultimate battle and with his aunt having married Chris' family steadily get bigger with the births of his younger cousins; Pippa and Hal and less than a month before Chris' fourth birthday in 2008, he became the big brother to his little sister Prudence Melinda "Melinda" Halliwell and on his birthday he became a big cousin again to little PJ. It was around this time that Chris started developing a sense of the other future as his powers began to develop with him showing more talents with his telekinesis, however his powers did seem to stutter a lot.

By the time Chris reached the age of six, his mother and Aunts began teaching Chris about his magic and his heritage. He was getting taught in the arts of his whitelighter side by his aunt Paige and his witch side by Piper and hand to hand by Phoebe. Chris had also developed a new ability; world projection, an ability that allows Chris to live in both his past life and his new life. When Chris started waking up with bruises and cuts all over him the sisters later discovered that Chris had a new power. As a result of the nature of his powers, Piper went against all her beliefs and managed to with the help of her sisters, bind that one power.

Appearance
Chris seems to greatly favor his Aunt Prue in appearance, and other than his eyes is the double of his mother.
 * Hair: Chris has thick longish earlobe length chocolate brown hair, that he has inherited from his mother. As a child Chris has often grown out his hair to reach the earlobes though rarely grows it any further and had that style until he became a teenager when he started to keep it relatively short and spiky but since the deaths of his parents, Chris has started growing out his hair again and due to his age, he is not yet ready for shaving with him having a hairless face.
 * Appearance: In terms of appearance, Chris is very much the opposite of his brother; Wyatt with him having taken all his looks from his mother except for his father's emerald green oval shaped eyes, which like his brother's change slightly in color depending on his mood. He is the second tallest of the Halliwell cousins' at 6'1" with high cheekbones and freckles. Chris has a swimmers body making him athletically built but slim. Similar to his brother, Chris also a tattoo of the Triquettra on his left hip.
 * Wardrobe: Chris often inspires simplicity when it comes to his clothing style with him tending not to wear labels or anything to flashy. He is usually seen wearing hand me downs or goes for hoodies, cheap tops, jeans or pants, with him preferring dark colors to light and a pair of much used sneakers. Chris also has a leather jacket, which was once the jacket future Chris wore and which was given to him for his fourteenth birthday. Chris also wears a silver pendent in the form of a Triquettra given to him by his Aunt Phoebe as well as an engagement ring, Bianca's ring, on the same string as the pendent.

Personality
Chris is kind and humorous, although somewhat neurotic. Since future Chris grew up alone and without a proper family, he becomes quite secretive and much of a loner and occasionally makes decisions that can result in more harm than good but he is also independent, stubborn, and smart. He also has abandonment issues concerning his parents, from the other Chris and struggles with this knowing that his parents never abandoned him until their deaths. Even though he is not as experienced as a whitelighter, he possesses extensive knowledge of magic, his birthright of witchcraft, and the usage of his own powers.

Chris can sometimes be seen as a manipulative, shady guy, though his motives are good, he has to work to his family coming from harm. He sometimes shifts into a hard-working, overprotective whitelighter. He also carries a lot of weight on his shoulders and usually blames himself for the world's problems, another trait he had inherited from his other self. Yet when it comes to love and family Chris will give his all, doing everything he can for people and is said to be the double of his Aunt Prue although when it comes to love he is seen as being very much like his Aunt Phoebe.

Like his father and the Halliwell witches, Chris is very smart and careful with whom he works when it comes to contacting demons, and shows a stubborn side which is commented by Piper about inheriting it from his father. He is also very headstrong, and a quick learner to the point of almost having a photographic memory. Chris is also very independent and has inherited the Halliwell sarcasm and his Paige's wit though growing up he was said to be just like his mother in feeling like an outsider.

Active Powers

 * Telekinesis: The ability to move things with the power of one's mind alone. Although Chris has two forms of telekinesis, it is this form that he uses the most with him being able to channel the ability with his hands. Through this ability he has been able to access the ability to crush things though he used that ability more in the other future than in the present.
 * Telekinetic orbing: The ability to move or teleport objects through the use of orbs. Although Chris has two forms of telekinesis, it is this form that he uses the least although from his training from his Aunt Paige has shown great skill in with this being the first ability he ever used when he helped his brother Wyatt to win a game against their Grandpa.
 * Empathy: The ability to feel, sense and understand other people's feelings and emotions. This is an ability that has caused a lot of problems for the young witch especially since the death of his parents and is one of seven of the cousins to have this ability though he has managed to shut people out, something that he had been taught to do by his Aunt Phoebe.
 * Molecular Combustion: The ability to speed up molecules to the point that they explode. This is the only ability that Chris had inherited from his mother; Piper, and is one of his most effective abilities, yet since the death of his parents, he has been unable to access the ability though it is uncertain why he can not access it when he had complete control before his mother's death.
 * Electrokinesis: The ability to create and disperse electricity from ones hands. This is an ability that Chris managed to inherit from his Elder side, though he has near no control over this ability and seems to struggle a lot with the control as it is very different to PJ's electrokinesis, and despite the Elders attempts to try and teach him, Chris is unable to accept their help making the ability erratic.
 * Astral Projection: The ability to project one's consciousness into an astral form outside the body. As another power he had inherited from his Aunt Prue, Chris seems to use this ability quite often typically when he has been attacked by a demon why at school or during a movie he finds boring.
 * World Projection: This ability is another form of projection being able to manipulate reality and move between worlds. This is an ability that is unique to Chris, as no other witch or Halliwell has this ability and yet it is the one Chris has the least control over with his parents; having found a way to bind this one ability due to it projection him to the other future. Through this ability he can also access different planes though it takes a lot of work, and he can be hurt wherever he turns up.

With his impressive grades, Chris currently holds a 4.2gpa which he has managed to maintain despite the reason deaths of his parents.

Bianca Nichols
Chris' longest and most permanent relationship is with Bianca Nichols, a Phoenix assassin witch. In late 2003, Chris having returned from the future to save his brother was kidnapped by Bianca, whom was tying to send him back to the future. During this time the Halliwell women discovered that the women was Bianca, a five year old witch, and in twenty-two years time would become Chris' fiance. When Chris went back to the future, he was faced with Wyatt, who in trying to incapacitate Chris ended up killing Bianca.

Fourteen years later, after the death of his parents, Uncle Coop and his Aunts; the present Chris meets Bianca for the first time, when Bianca is trying to assassinate him. Bianca decided to play a game of cat and mouse with Chris, not wanting to kill him yet. Due to the nature of their future selves, Chris and Bianca felt something from one another. Chris nearly instantly recognized Bianca, but also knew that she did once betray him and that his parents might not look well on the situation.

Soon Chris and Bianca started to create a developing relationship. The relationship was frowned upon a little by his Aunt Prue (whom has recently come into his life) as well as his Uncle Henry, whom has realized that Bianca's family have some relationships with criminal networks however with the help of Parker he learned that he was destined to be with Bianca and that it didn't matter what had happened in the past between the Halliwells and the Phoenix clan nor did it matter about the age difference or species difference they were and are destined to forever be apart of each others lives now and in any other life.
