Septimus Alsius Itum
SynopsisGender: Male
Species: Human Age: Actually around 1,200, give or take a few years; appears to be mid-forties Appearance: Septimus stands at five feet, ten inches with a thin build and tanned skin. He has heavy scarring and burn marks on the right side of his face and his right eye has been replaced with a cybernetic ocular implant. The cyborg's hair is thick and black, with grey flecks beginning to betray his age, and often done up spiky as he is too lazy to style it properly. He shaves, though prefers to keep his facial hair at a thin scruff. He can be seen wearing both normal Terran clothes - preferring suits, collared shirts, dress pants, and dress shoes over casual-wear - as well as the traditional robes of the Confederation that he wore when he was a member of its government. The red scarf and sash pictured below are priceless to him, as they were knitted by his mother. Occupation: Education or Training: Class IV (equivalent to a PhD) Philothanatologist; Alma Mater is "Schola Academia Kashtilag Zone IV" Trained in Politics and Foreign Relations under the Regent Board; Mentors were Consul Yarick Brutus and Captain Emily Ophelia |
Septimus Itum was the youngest member of the Regent Board of the University-State of Agymnum, a highly-advanced multiversal empire spanning nearly two dozen planets spread across several universes and connected via a series of warp gates and teleportation portals. Agymnum was a meritocratic technocracy, whose citizens were highly educated and whose primary output was research rather than some physical good for trading. Seekers of knowledge, the state and its citizens sought to explore the far reaches of the known universes, contact various civilizations, share knowledge, and record all sorts of data - useful and useless - for future denizens of the world.
Few noteworthy events occurred during his 1,200 year existence. The destruction of planets, birth of stars, and expansion of Agymnum is considered insignificant, as all these had been occurring long before he was born and would be going on long after he died. He spent much of his childhood as most people in Agymnum did, studying hard in the state-funded Schola Academia and eventually selecting a specialization for research and creative development. His selection was in the study of the biological cessation of existence and the possibilities there were for preventing it and reversing it, or philothanatophy (lit. "love of death"). Following his graduation with honors from the Schola Academia, he worked in Mobius Research Conglomerate for several centuries before eventually being recruited by the Regent Board as a future ruler. While groomed by the current Regent Board members, he continued research in philothanatophy privately and eventually received the permission and funding to create Lazarus LLC, which he founded alongside his research fellows from his Academia days. Upon the death of the Counsel of the Regent Board, everyone surviving was promoted up one level and thus Septimus took up his mantle as the newest official member of the Board, becoming its primary diplomatic officer and ambassador. He spent his next 800 years in this position, expanding trade, networking with various nations, and continuing research with Lazarus LLC when he had spare time. The particular project he was working on prior to his unfortunate disappearance was an experiment in attempting to resurrect a dead person whose memories and personality had been stored (in binary) in the Infinity Circuit. With his arrival in Bielefield, Septimus found himself clinging to one of the few reminders of his old world: Neste Trilb, a construct hailing from Swith Witherward, a protectorate of the Nifidium. He later accompanied Neste to the Carnal Carnival, where he confronted his demons and died before being reborn as a result of her tail and a nifty cloning process. Following these and other adventures, he became close to Neste and later admitted his love for her, with the two becoming an official couple shortly before Septimus was elected to office as one of three district representatives for the Market District in Bielefield. Currently, his whereabouts are unknown. It's presumed he's busy with Project Lazarus. |
