[Jack Rinner]

Can't wait to se what you come up with as a character

[Vidamour]

I'm considering having a totally different Alter Ego as an avatar. I'll try and write up a pretty sweet background story :')
Going to start on it now...

[Vidamour]

Reece Vidamour / Logan
Nineteen - Aries - London

Reece / Logan
Primary Weapon / Secondary Weapon / Melee

Overall:

Spoiler

A stubborn teen but a great gamer. "A legend of our time!" the newspapers headlined.
Reece was quite the popular gamer, very popular in-fact. He was rich but didn't care much for money.
He didn't find his thrills in reality, he found them online. VRMMO (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online) is what he lived for.
Reece didn't have to work, this was his job. Money rolled in from the people who sponsored him. As long as he kept playing, he kept earning.
Advertisements, adoring fans, merchandise, celebrities on speed-dial, thousands of Facebook friends and way too many zeros in his bank account.
London was Reece's city...

Well, it wasn't Reece's entirely... It was Logan's.
Logan was Reece's avatar, his alter-ego, named after his father.
Reece's father passed away when Reece was eight. His father was a soldier and was killed during the 2012 panic.

The 2012 Panic:

Spoiler

The 2012 panic was a global riot caused by millions of regular citizens around the world who believed that December 21st 2012 was the end of days.
The world in-fact didn't end and was thrown into complete chaos which took years of recovery.

His Story:

Spoiler

Reece grew up wanting to follow in his fathers foot-steps, but he got a little side-tracked with the gaming generation.
His mother spoilt him rotten with anything he asked for, she felt guilty for the death of his father.
Reece had ridiculous amounts of games, gadgets, consoles and computers. But he wasn't an ungrateful snot nosed kid, he appreciated everything he had.
He dropped out of school at age fifteen for his gaming, he said he didn't have time for education and that he didn't need it. His mother didn't argue.
Reece had a passion for war games and zombie games, the two combined were a heaven send to him.

When he heard that a Virtual Reality device had been invented that allowed you to play games as your own avatar, with your mind. He was ecstatic.
No amount of money was going to hold him back.
He bought the headset, created his avatar, tweaked his preferences and setup his profile, he loved everything about this new technology.
He would play war games for hours on end, sometimes days. In this new world, "these" new worlds, he could be anybody and do anything.

So he created Logan, an avatar in memory of his father. This was his most commonly used avatar.
He began to top leaderboards in most games.
Logan got a name for himself, many people befriended Reece online.
He began forming alliances with other players and entering online competitions around the globe.
Some people tampered with their headset and found a way to record the game-play from within the VRMMO, to a computer on the outside.
Logan was fast becoming an internet sensation. Montages and music videos dedicated to his game-play.
Even those whom didn't participate in the virtual reality, became fans of his footage.
On the outside Reece was offered contracts from all kinds of media. Movies were even asked to be made.

After the Ban:

Spoiler

In 2023 a ban came down on the VRMMO technology. England, America, Japan, Australia... The whole globe banned VRMMO.
Due to the happenings of Sword Art Online which was the cause of thousands of deaths.

Reece couldn't accept that it was gone. Everyone that owned a headset or any other form of technology linked to the system had to return it all.
Reece lost everything... It was back to the previous generation of gaming and back to reality and reality sucked.
But Reece had an anonymous message on his computer one day.
Apparently VRMMO was still alive, it had just gone underground and that one game called Avalon was still in existence.
Reece needed this, he needed the adrenaline, the feeling of being able to live on the edge without worry, but he had no gear.
The next day he received another message from anonymous. It had directions of where he could find what he needed and what to do after he had it.

Days passed, Reece had the things he needed.
He had spoke with an old gaming friend (Tom) who still owned a headset.
Tom had modified it slightly so that it was untraceable after the ban.
He felt no use for it as attempting to boot the system failed continuously, so he gave it to Reece.
Reece followed the directions that the message had gave him and there was only one thing to do.
Pack his bags for Tokyo.

Perks and Skills:

Spoiler

Logan is particularly good in CQC (Close Quarters Combat).
His bullet proof vest can take vast amounts of damage.
His trench coat is equipped with a cloaking device that lasts for sixty seconds.
He has a keen eye and can put a sniper to great use.
Due to his size and strength he can hold, move and/or carry large objects.
Due to his mask he is immune to any form of smoke or gas damage.

Awesome Reece, I like the whole ex-celeb who's trying to get his life back bio. Makes for an interesting char. I made a semi greedy gamer-for-hire guy who uses his reflexes and instinct as his trump card. Meanwhile he's a laid back guy whos main source of income is games.

[Jack Rinner]

Should I.post? Or wait for the others to post first?

[Vidamour]

Well, i'll throw my character in the IC once i've caught up on it all and decide when the time is right ;D
Still got bits i need to finish on my Character Sheet but i'll try and do that tonight.

What ever happened to Spade???
