They vary as much in personality as they do color, size, and shape.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Courting/Marriage</span></strong></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Aging &amp; Death</span></strong></span><br/><br/>The Centos rarely live past the ripe age of 80 years old. Maturity is reached somewhere around the age of 17, at which point they are considered to be adult. Centos peak around age 30, though their vitality is known to push well into the early fifties until they begin their decline into old age.<br/><br/>Death is a solemn occasion for the Centos. The ceremonies are simple and include a recounting of life, and then a funeral pyre. The size of the pyre built typically indicates wealth and station.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Religion/worship</span></strong></span><br/><br/>Religions followed within the Centos are again as varied as the peoples are. Whereas each race seems to favor a few deities over the other, the Centos people have temples and a healthy respect for all of them<br/><br/>Kuridas - Justice, Oder, War<br/>Icaron - Inspiration, Wealth, Experimentation<br/>Alniarius - Wisdom, Hospitality, Alchemy<br/>Draloth - Destruction, Darkness, Death<br/>Niria - Creation, Light, Healing<br/>Hokuun - Craftsmanship, Mining, Earth<br/>Oni - Luck, Daring, Courage<br/>Suina - Forests, Travel, Flora & Fauna<br/>Pathav- Seas, Stars, Storms<br/>Remnis - Mischief, Music, Arts<br/>Calia - Love, Fertility, Pleasure<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Royalty/Social structure</span></strong></span><br/><br/>From most powerful to least:<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Royal Family</span><br/>-King & Queen<br/>-Prince/Princess (According to age)<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Nobility</span><br/>-Duke/Duchess<br/>-Baron/Baroness<br/>-Lord/Lady<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Merchants</span><br/><br/>Tradinghouse Owners (Think import/export)<br/>Merchant Lord (Land Based only)<br/>Shop Owners<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Peasantry</span><br/><br/>Peddlers<br/>Common workers (manual labor/tradesman assisstants)<br/>Servants<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Crafting</span></strong></span><br/><br/>As most races do, the Centos are varied in the trades that they take up. However, they have come to excel in the volatile art of alchemy and potion making, likely due to the volatile nature and quick workings that have come to mirror them as a race. Some of the most intricately made healing, and even destructive concoctions are closely guarded secrets held by those that have created them<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Housing</span></strong></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">War Tactics</span></strong></span><br/>The Centos armies are mostly trained within four ranks; those of the berserkers, cavalrymen,  crossbowmen, and engine workers.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">The Berserker/Footsoldier</span></strong><br/>These soldiers are a mainstay of the Centos armies, and mainly derive from the races extremely high threshold for pain. Often armed with a larger two handed weapon and lighter armor (usually boiled leather, but sometimes chain), they rely sheerly on terror, overwhelming numbers and a reckless fighting style. Their lack of training and finesse is made up for by the strength they are able to put behind a blow, often looking for ways to cleave apart their foes, rather than pick at them. The more gravely injured these men become, it only seems to fuel the fires of madness that they are so famed for on the battlefield.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Centosian Crossbowmen</span></strong><br/><br/>These are the ranged staple of the Centos armies. While they lack the range of the longbow made famous by the elves, these pack twice the punch as an arrow fired from the former. They have no problem punching through platemail, or through one or more unarmored opponents consecutively. The only downside is the smaller range, and the abysmal time it takes to reload. Most units of crossbowmen fire in ranks to punch into opposing forces continuously.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Centosian Cavalry</span></strong><br/><br/>These troops are the elite of the Centos. Horses are bred for this duty alone, and are quite capable of carrying fully armored men with razored lances into battle with little to no problem. This troop is divided up into two types of cavalry; those of the mounted bowmen, and those of the lance units. Though nowhere near the skill of a trained elven bowman, they are still a terror to behold when facing any type of troop on foot with nimble, quick steeds trained to respond to the smallest of movements. The lance trained cavalry is the hammer of the Centos armies. Once the footmen have scattered or broken defensive lines, these cavalrymen are a devastating force to behold as several hundred pounds of armor and flesh barrel at the opposition with lowered lance.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Siege Workers</span></strong><br/><br/>Those who have a more analytic mind when it comes to warfare are often drafted into those who work the siege engines. They often sit behind the main battle lines, and take part in tearing apart cities and larger forces to help stem the usage of their own footmen. They use everything from the larger trebuchets, all the way down to the ballistae that hurl arrow-like projectiles much greater than a human arm could ever unleash from a bow.
