[b]Short Bio:[/b] [color=silver]Yutaka was always something of an odd-ball, and never really fit in with those around him. He always seemed to fade into the background. Though he is smart enough and skilled enough that he could be noticed if he pushed himself, he never bothered to put forth the effort. He enjoyed sitting in the shadows, watching other people deal with their drama and stresses while he led a relatively simple life. Trouble seemed to pass him by as often as any of his peers.

The Itoh family was not wealthy, but neither did it lack for anything Yutaka might need. His parents worked constantly, often leaving him to his own devices. Eventually sleeping for days on end lost its appeal and he began to take up hobbies, gaming among them. The release of SAO was important to him because that game seemed perfectly suited to his situation. With endless free time he saw no reason not to dive in head first. By this time he was well acquainted with gaming in general, and felt prepared to take on the world. The revelation that dying in the game had serious consequences only made him all the more determined to find his place in this new world and survive to its eventual end.[/color]

[b]Personality:[/b] [color=silver]Yutaka has ever been the quiet type, staying out of other peoples' business and hoping they kept to themselves. He doesn't speak often, and when he does it comes out blunt and direct. Something of a cynic, he is not afraid to force people to face the brutal truth when they try to delude themselves or others. While he does tend to read people fairly well, he isn't very comfortable in or used to social interactions, and often seems somewhat awkward or eccentric.

'Lloyd' has only come to favor his place in the shadows even more, and though he is often more open than the real Yutaka, he is generally as silent. It is not easy for him to trust others, but he is a loyal companion to those he respects among his peers.[/color]

[b]Skills:[/b] 
[color=silver][i]Shadow Rush[/i] - Lloyd cloaks himself in shadows, fading from sight before rushing in to deliver a critical blow. If he is struck during the preparation or while invisible, the skill is negated entirely.

[i]Blurring Strike[/i] - Lloyd attacks in a way meant to off-balance his opponent rather than injure them. For about thirty seconds afterwards he is slightly faster and his movements are blurred, making him more difficult to hit.

[b]Equipment:[/b] 
[color=silver][i][url=http://i497.photobucket.com/albums/rr331/palmerproperties/101_0274.jpg]Simple Falcata[/url][/i] - This sword is fairly basic, but effective for Lloyd's fighting style. While the majority of its stats are average for a short blade, it adds additional attack power to sword skills and critical strikes. It also has a very minor bleed effect, causing those struck to lose a small amount of HP over time.

[i][url=http://img13.deviantart.net/ba6b/i/2012/186/f/2/renaissance_style_round_shield_for_larp_by_adhras-d563smv.jpg]Leather Shield[/url][/i] - A small reinforced round shield. Lloyd uses it when pressed in melee combat to make up for his overall weak defense. While it is light enough for him to use and carry easily, it still provides enough of a boost for him to hold the line for a moment when he has to.

[i][url=http://images.maskworld.com/is/image/maskworld/bigview/rogue-leather-armor-black--mw-113966-1.jpg]Rogue's Armor[/url][/i] - This lightweight leather armor is relatively simple, but does come with a slight boost to agility and resistances. It offers fairly low physical defense, but is better than nothing and allows Lloyd to be stealthier than anything heavier would.
