Name: The [Redacted]
Gender: [Redacted] (gender-neutral he)
Race: Humanoid-lookin'. It's awfully hard to recall any of his features though. They just seem to...draw a blank. If you try really hard you might get a glimpse, but then inevitably a black bar appears over anything specific.
Text Color: #0F0F0F
Backstory: The [Redacted] was once a quintuple agent for several countries at the same time. As a result, the levels of secrecy surrounding him became so great that no one was ever sure what, who or where he was. After time-crimes became commonplace as well, no one was even sure when he was. Eventually, he became a legend, with feats like averting interstellar war to secretly owning every government in the universe ascribed to him.
It wasn't nearly that exciting, of course; he'd just become so mysterious as to become, bewilderedly, somehow omnipotent. Belief is a powerful thing, and with what, who, where, when he was all lost in oblivion, he lost the final piece of identity that gave him his final [redacted]: why he was.
He was a bit confused after he rose into omnipotence. His only clear memory in the blur that had been his mortal life was the act of removing information; thus his new existence he built around that.
Description: Specifics are hard to pin down with the [Redacted], but he usually manifests as a suit-wearing special agent. When you think about it, however, you can't recall what the suit was like, or how it was cut, or any kind of ornamentation. What you can remember, however, is the distinct idea of black - censor-bar black. If you thought really really hard, you might remember rectangles of the black peeling away from the suit - then probably you'd remember nothing but a distinct array of black bars. (If you scanned the bars, you would get the message "p4wg4k4wp0j4". What? They're censor bars. They're not supposed to be barcodes.)
Weapons/Abilities: The [Redacted] is intensely unmemorable. He specializes in information - the editation of, the redaction and destruction of, the fabricating of. As a mortal he had been a brilliant liar - lying gets a bit complicated when you're omnipotent. He's so used to lying, in fact, that while he could just change the world to fit the lie that would somehow be cheating.
