History
The Pilgrim's story begins with the enlightenment of his people at the hands of the Warmonger, ending their "primitive period" and ushering them into the beginning of a monastic age which continues to this day. Entrusted by the Galaxar with its absolute knowledge of Martial Arts, merely one facet of the war-entity, their lives would revolve around this act and the knowledge which came with it. They became a society which could be compared to the ways of Earth's Buddhist monks, divided by sects and focusing on certain teachings over others, but ultimately giving themselves to the pursuit of something higher - Oneness. Their world, nameless among the natives, was thus given called the Silent Monastery by alien visitors.
The Monks devotion to the martial arts has lent its self to them becoming a naturally powerful people, with even the infants of their race being comparable to a low-mid tier superhero in terms of strength and capability. Despite various attempts to invade, annex, control and influence the Silent Monastery by other aliens, they all ultimately failed due to the power of the natives and their ability to act as one in times of need - not even the Star Guard dare try and "protect" them, as they are all too aware of their ability to do it themselves.
The Pilgrim was born under an ill-star, and with a certain energy that many of his people lacked, defined by his ability to "vocalize" to species outside of his own and break the silence of his world. As he grew, so did his fierce and youthful charisma, a quality unbecoming of the peaceful and calm Monks of the Silent Monastery. Although and eager combatant and student, he was born to the styles of the Eastern Pagoda, which espoused ways similar to Earth's Tai Chi, a largely non-combative region which focused on a peaceful mind-set above all else. It takes a certain kind of individual to turn an art of peace into a violent and downright lethal style, and the then child Pilgrim fit the bill. The flowing rivers which went around the rocks became an unstoppable torrent which sank them and caught them in their torrents. The Aquatic Flow Divining Stars of the Eastern Pagoda was warped into the Pilgrim's unique Cosmic Flow Removes Chaos. It was only a matter of time until the child was exiled from the Eastern Pagoda, a decision supported by its own parents and friends, and it was forced to become a wanderer. Deeply upset by the decision, he abided none the less. He travelled between the Pagoda regions, challenging those who stood in his way, and crushed them. The Cosmic Flow eventually bested all styles on the Silent Monastery, and even incorporated elements from the defeated.
He had become the grandest of masters among his kind, a fighter without equal on his world. It was only a matter of time before he attracted the eye of something beyond his scope - before the Sojourner took interest in him.
Appearance & Personality
Distinctly an alien, the Pilgrim is defined by his red skin, cone-like head and mouthless features with odd eyes which seem to give him complete vision around him. His vocalizations seem to be telepathic in nature, but with an almost mystical twist to it. His voice "echos" from him, audible even in the absence of telepathic ability and in the face of defences - he speaks without a mouth to do so, in short, understood by any and all species in the galaxy in their most native tongue and conveying the point of his words clearly. How he eats is unknown, always managing to pull it off when noone is looking. His body (despite being short) has evidently been forged from the many years of training and combat, lean and agile but containing coiled power within comparable and surpassing the most powerful Bricks on Earth.
Pilgrim's an odd character, prone to being rather "relaxed" in most situations and not putting his full effort into a lot of things, he views himself as long having passed the need to do so. He finds himself in a very much similar situation to his mentor, the Sojourner, in that he has to actively look for challenges and entertainment, and may even pass time by taking on a student for a couple of years before leaving them to their devices. While the Pilgrim may often posture in a near-villainous manner, threatening to destroy planets and such, he is nowhere near the kind of individual to actually do it. Usually, that specific threat is reserved for bringing out the best in those he fights, to try and make individuals fight as if everything were on the line. Stars know that he is very much capable of it at this point, and my inhabitants of the galaxy know it. His ultimate goal, however, is to find an art which inherently trumps his own and any other which he may employ, the ultimate fighting style.
