[edit] Character History

Century was a genetic creation consisting of the minds of the hundred strongest and most able of the surviving alien Hodomur. He possessed all their memories and instinctively used the knowledge he needed. Therefore he was an expert on many topics and a very skilled fighter especially with his battle-staff, Parallax. He was very tall, had red tattoos all over his body, and his lifespan was fixated on 100 years, but since becoming amnesiac he couldn't remember how many years he still has left. In deep meditative trance he was sometimes seen levitating. Once he showed the ability to project energy beams from his hands. He had a symbiotic rapport with Parallax, an entity which bound the multiple personalities of Century into a unified self. Through Parallax he possessed the ability to teleport through interdimensional space among many other abilities he would not have had without it.

Since becoming amnesic from Broker's mind-wipe and interdimensional traveling, Century couldn't remember much about his past and often had to search for the right words which led to Century sound like a thesaurus when he often used three similar words to express himself. Single memories returned when he was confronted with something from his past or he dreamt about it. After losing Parallax for awhile, memories of his composite minds loosened and even after Parallax was returned to him he continued to remember bits from the lives of the Hodomur he was composed of.
