    The multicomplex algebra MC\(_n\) is extended to GC\(_n\) algebra, that is, to \(n\)-dimensional commutative algebra. General complex number is defined as \(z= x+\overline ey\) with the generator obeying the quadratic equation: \(\overline e^2= a_1\overline e- a_0\). Here, the author is pursuing to find faithful geometric representations of GC\(_n\) numbers and their applications in generalized relativistic dynamics. First, the basic motions of GC\(_2\) are recalled and their geometric interpretation is given on the Euclidean plane. The author establishes some relationships between hyperbolic argument and curvature of hyperbolic planes, and then presents elements of the relativistic dynamics in view of GC\(_2\)-algebra. A theorem on rotational motion of line around a semicircle concludes the paper.
