[hider=Pterrophos]
Name: Guy Montaire
In game name: Pterrophos
Age: 19
Gender: Male

Brief history: Born into a semi-abusive family, Guy's upbringing wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. He wasn't beat by his parents, no, they were big on the non-physical kind of abuse. He was never good enough for them no matter how well he did. They'd hound him about how his grades were too low, or how he hadn't had a girlfriend, and when he had high grades and a girlfriend he spent too much time with her or studying and needed to help around the house more. Because of this he got out as soon as he could. He didn't run away but he definitely took to escaping in any way he could. 
The nervegear was a dream come true for him, a way to live in a reality unlike the bleak one he came from. He couldn't buy one at launch but managed to save up enough after moving out jsut a few days before the release of SAO, for which he was third in line to buy. He plugged in on that fateful day and found himself now trapped in his supposed dreamland along with 9,999 others. He decided to band together with some strangers and created the guild Neon Colossus, of which he is leader. He led them from the bottom all the way up to the strike team.

Brief Personality: More often than not, Guy is off doing his own thing in a fairly non serious matter. The whole situation of being trapped in the videogame he found himself in was, to him at least, a blessing and not a curse. He's gone from a pessimist in reality to a full blown optimist in Aincrad. He took to his role as guild leader proudly, though he knows that he is not the most qualified. He stays in the position purely because he is the least likely to quit or give up because of something bad happening. He's the heart of the group, not the sword.

[hider=Laurent]
Name: Lauren Thompson
In game name: Laurent
Age: 17 
Gender: Female
Brief history: A world traveler of sorts, Lauren grew up well, everywhere. She never had the time to settle down and in this electronic age making and keeping friends in her kind of life really wasn't hard. She had traveled the world twice and was only 17. She had bits and bobs from around the world and even met glorious leader Pterrophos along the way. Her parents were thrill seekers and gave her one of the most exciting childhoods a girl could ask for, and she wasn't dragged around the world no, she followed them there willingly.  Eventually in Japan she picked up a nervegear and a game and continued her travels. She plugged in on an airplane ride headed to Ireland from Japan constantly watching the clock in game for her queue to get off. She has no idea where her body is at the moment and that is what scares her most.

Brief Personality:Laurent isn't as excepting of her new life as Pterrophos, but having him around makes it easier. She enjoys the company of others and being distracted by work keeps her mind off of things, so she's generally burying herself in work. She lost most of her thrill seeking-ness after the first few months in the game after a field boss battle that nearly killed her for being so reckless. Since then she's been in and out of combat. She grows attached to whoever she ca in this game, the more people that talk to her the less she has to be reminded it's more than just a video game.
