Backstory:
Center has excelled at all tasks put before him through dedication and hard work. He believes in logic and analysis and once believed that, through open dialogue, all disagreements could be worked out. After years of being manipulated and used for the purposes of others, understanding finally dawned on Center. He snapped and shut off from people. Now he sees human beings as inherently antagonistic. Beggars, widows, orphans are no different in his mind from a tyrant or thief, Center suspects all alike of harboring ulterior motives. Years of suspicion and observation have honed his perceptive skills to sniffing out the motives of others, but have left him unable to trust or open up to anybody. Openness is weakness. Center has embraced the lonely path of strength and he seeks to find the limits of his power. He is actively seeking out the artifacts Snail Shell and Armoring Cloth. He likes to keep a defensive cypher on hand if possible.
