Brief history:A Venezuelan who emigrated into Japan three years before the release of Sword Art Online, Carlos is every bit the Latin American man one would expect. He's warm, friendly and very open about his feelings and intentions, something that's got him into trouble a couple times with the overly respectful and modest society that Japan is. The cultural shift doesn't deter him, though. He's happy to be where he is, even if that means being trapped inside a game such as SAO.
Sure, he was every bit as shocked as everyone else when the announcement took place in the Town Of Beginnings. He was distraught and nervous for a day. For a single day. Because unlike most of the other players, Carlos was an immigrant. He had already gone through a death game before--The game of finding a place to live, finding work and settling down in a foreign country with no friends or family to back him up. He had been broken and built up again, stronger than he had ever been back in Venezuela, and a simple game such as SAO had no chance to break him.
Even now, so much time after the day of his "imprisonment", his will remains strong, his face retains a smile and he continues to walk forward.
Brief Personality:Carlos is an independent, self-sufficient man. He's warm, friendly, open and very charismatic to those who wish to have him around. He works hard and often reaps the benefits of such work. Carlos is an unambitious man, but that doesn't mean he has no goal in life. His goal in life is to keep moving forward, no matter the obstacle. It could be said that's the most important thing to him. Though he also believes Family and Friends are extremely important.
Appearance:Armor : The same one as in the Appearance.
