Character History: 
  Cade Faulkner is the son of an American navy officer and a native Hawaiian. Raised in Honolulu, Cade lost his father to a shootout under mysterious circumstances at a very young age and became the man of the house. With his mother ailing, Cade took up work around his neighborhood, burying himself in jobs, extracurricular activities and school. The only thing keeping him afloat was his mother and his closest friends: Gwen Adler and Kirby Kojima. At age 19, while taking a long walk along the Hawaiian trails, he stumbled across a crashed alien spacecraft. Within the craft was an alien Synthetic Sentience, designated Janus. Warned of an impending threat to Earth and humanity, Cade agreed to assist Janus and donned the Centurion Apparatus.
 
  A super weapon designed millennia ago by an ancient race known as the Prefects, the Centurion Apparatus forges its wielder into a one man army by providing protection, strength, flight, energy projection, and a tactical heads-up-display. Under Janus' tutelage and with the warship Atlaas repaired, Centurion drove away the advanced scouts of the Consortium, an alien conglomerate driven to capture a Centurion Apparatus and use it for their own conquests. His planet only temporarily safe, Centurion joined with other heroes under the singular banner of a national defense agency known as Initiative. Along with his allies, Centurion has fought back creatures from other planets, other realities, and other realms. They have stopped madmen and twisted machines from enacting horrid plots and kept their homes safe. 
 
  Now Centurion balances his life precariously. On the one hand, he has his responsibility as a Centurion to protect Earth and the universe from the Consortium threat. On the other hand, he has a duty as a friend and a son to care for and be there with his ohana. Still struggling with that today, Centurion is sucked from his world by the being Omni and dropped into a place he does not know. Confused and separated from his mentor, his best friend, his mother, and someone he had grown more than close with, he feels very alone. 
 
Raised by a warrior to be a warrior, Cade has known struggle all his life. Time and time again he has had to overcome mighty obstacles. His father’s words would always echo in his ears in times of strife: “Everyone has their Goliath, but sometimes one man has to stand up to everyone’s giants because he’s the only one with a slingshot.” These words stuck with Cade for his whole life, driving him time and time again to put himself between those he loves and adversity. He is a brave and sacrificial young man, more than willing to fight and die for others. He fights with a passion, an innate drive for the defense of the innocence. He’s a brawler, the very definition of a warrior. He fights for what he loves with everything he has, never holding back as he throws himself to the wolves with a smile on his face. He is inspired by challenge, enraged by injustice, and always willing to crack a decent joke. Despite his training and primal masculine instinct, Cade is still just a kid (not that he’ll admit that). He’s 19 years old, and acts like it. He treasures companionship and enjoys a solid one-liner. He’s into comic books, music, and surfing. He’s a young man with more responsibility than he could have imagined, but he manages. He always has and he always will. Anything to get him back home to his family. 

Physical Description: 
Cade Faulkner is a 19 year old young man. His Caucasian skin is tanned by his youth in Hawaii and his naturally brown hair has been mildly bleached by the sun to be sandier. His eyes are brown as well.
 
The Centurion Apparatus is a grey, form-fitting mesh that covers Cade from head to toe. Silver, chromed armor covers his cheeks, his arms, his back, and his legs. Glowing lines of orange energy cut through his mesh, pulsing and wavering with his energy usage. His eyes glow orange, as well as all the energy he outputs from his armor. The Apparatus is a nano-machine composite that forms over Cade's body and seals itself like a thick second skin.

Moves:

Ionic Discharge (Area of Attack, Physical Strength) - (600)
  The Centurion Apparatus was built for war and it thus boasts powerful weaponry. Despite the restrictions placed on his suit's functionality after entering the Omniverse, Cade can still access limited energy projection. Ionic Discharge is a release of the energy buildup within the Centurion Apparatus in a close proximity. This release of energy comes in the form of electricity, crackling in a four foot radius around the hero. It takes at least 4 seconds to charge, but upon release this temporary burst of energy electrifies and damages enemies who were foolish enough to get too close. The wave covers its radius virtually instantly. This burst of ionic energy acts like a field, surrounding Centurion in a sphere-like manner. This discharge lasts for about 3 seconds and it deals moderate damage over the course of this time. Alternatively, Centurion can grab an enemy and discharge the same amount of energy into a singular target. The energy is projected through the hero's palms, unleashing every joule into a grappled target. The charge time, duration, and energy consumption are identical as the amount of discharge does not change, simply the manner of application. Shocking a single target is nearly doubly as damaging as its radial counterpart. This ability cannot be used on the move as the output of energy overcharges the Apparatus' gravity sheath and anchors the hero to his position, whether on the ground or in the air, for the duration of the charge. The Centurion Apparatus is an efficient machine, and it regulates energy output carefully. Thus, when Ionic Discharge is used, Centurion's overall power source is drained moderately, similar to a special move in a fighting game. 
 
Centurion's Might (Area of Attack, Physical Strength) - (600)
  A testament to the Centurion Apparatus' strength and versatility, Centurion's Might is often used when overwhelmed or if an enemy is particularly resilient. This move combines the raw strength and concussive blasts of the Apparatus to produce a singly strike that can put distance between a Centurion and his opponent(s). It takes 2 seconds to wind up and charge the punch. If this melee strike is thrown at a single target, the concussive force will be uni-directional, sending the target and only those directly behind them flying backwards up to a dozen feet. This strike is much more damaging than its environmental variant, but lacks in radius. If used on the environment, this move has an explosive effect. Centurion can strike the ground he stands on, producing an omni-directional shock-wave that can ripple out in a 10 foot radius around him, damaging enemies and the environment. This shock-wave is notably weaker than the targeted strike, but excels in clearing the immediate area of aggressors, throwing them off balance and tossing them up to 10 feet up and away. This ability can be used in conjunction with most movement abilities, allowing Centurion to leap into battle, drop from above, or finish a series of blows in a combo-like fashion. This move draws on both physical strength and energy, draining the Centurion Apparatus heavily. It is not often used more than once in combat unless absolutely necessary.
