"Should we, uh... Do you want to be friends?"

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Appearance: Presentation that Wendy lauds with much thought but little effort. She's 5'7", fit, dresses vaguely sporty with that casual sweatpants look everyone's doing these days. Wendy can almost always be found with a distant, thoughtful look on her face. Recently some bags have been growing under her eyes ("Wake me up at 3 again and I'm throwing the router out the window." "...").

Personality: Aloof, quiet, sometimes so awkward it makes you wonder why she even left the house that day. Even after a brief conversation, it's fairly easy to tell that Wendy isn't the most socially competent person. It's something she's been trying to rectify over the years, with encouragement from her siblings and varying success. Pretty hard, sometimes. She wouldn't deem herself uncomfortable in most social situations anymore but there are definitely times when she zones out and thinks of all the other things she could be doing instead.

Like grocery shopping. Or walking through the park. She likes the park.

Background: Wendy was born the youngest of three. She grew up in an uneventful suburb. Not quite savvy enough to join the middle-class cliques but not enough of a pushover to get properly picked on, she found herself in a strange void in her school years. Friends were few and far between. Hobbies swinging between nerdy and sporty came and went. The only real constants she had were Lucas and Joy, who were always more than willing to dote on their youngest.

College passed in a similar manner, and it was there where Wendy knew she had to step out of her comfort zone. It worked, somewhat ("Mm." "You're getting there, kiddo."), but those days seemed to go by in a flash. Employment was the next big step. That was the plan anyway. Employers didn't seem to have an interested in newly-grads who clammed up after a few sentences.

Wendy currently works as a pizza delivery-driver, courtesy of Lucas' friend's friend, and resides with Joy in an apartment close to the city. World's End Online was a hobby she'd picked up from her brother, the remaining sibling occasionally joining their party despite her claims that she'd "grown out of it". Though other VR games provided the superhero experience she and Lucas prefer, Wendy found herself drawn to the quaint aesthetic of the medieval period, as well as the calm she found in the grindier quests.

Ingame Name: Wendel Douglass ("You're not smart, Lucas." "Yer nert shmert, Loo-kuhs." "Ugh.")

Ingame Gender: Uh. ("Should we flip a coin?" "Oh, there's a third option.")

Ingame Appearance: Wendel's appearance is based on her real self, apart from some very noticeable changes. An almost comical array of scars adorn her face and neck ("How many do you need?" "As many as we can get."), accompanied by an equally vast collection of ear piercings. ("How many do you need?" "At least these ones make sense, asshole.") Her jaw is considerably sharper, more masculine. ("Woah. Should I grow my hair out?" "I don't know what Kim sees in you.") In similar trains of thought, she also sports a virtual height of 5'11" and a significantly more muscular body. ("I like it." "Yeah, can't blame you there.")

Ingame Personality: Her strange fascination with the scenery is magnified tenfold. Pretty much the same as real life, except now that she has the luxury of literally frolicking away from her anxieties, she's likely to take it. The virtual world is nicer like that.

Class: Swordsman ("They look big." "Huh?" "Just let her be.")

Notable Skills
("Non-confrontational as ever, hey?" "You think so?")

Thunder Stroke: Wendel grips her sword by the blade and swings it in a wide arc, inflicting damage and a significant knock-back effect on any enemies caught in her path.
Blade Dash: Wielding her weapon in a fencer's stance, Wendel surges forward with supernatural speed. The damage inflicted is negligible but enemies in the line of fire are left stunned for 5 seconds. She mostly uses this skill outside of combat to traverse large distances faster.
Pack Mule (Passive): Wendel likes to hike. Movement speed remains unaffected by bag weight. Immunity to stamina-based debuffs.

Equipment: Knightly sword, heater shield, armor, Adventurer's Kit with extra comfy bedroll.

Others: Lucas is 28 and is set to wed next Spring. Joy is 24 and "too fuckdamn good for the bitches in this dagshit town". ("Drink some water and please stop coming back so late.")

Female

Personality:
Perfection is often self-destructive, if not inherently so, though Maria seems to be one of the few people capable of surviving in such an ideal as the ‘perfect daughter’ her parents want. She had always been popular growing up, always the smartest one in class, always the kindest one on the playground. Such values were nurtured by her parents, though at the cost of her interaction with the world outside her home. However, Marias still managed to grow up to be the perfect daughter they wanted. Smart, capable, and without fault. At least, that is what they believed.

Background:
Much of Maria’s young life was spent sheltered in her parents home, rarely ever going out to the park or pre-school as other children her age often did. Rather, she stayed at home with her mother and read books with her, though they were more on sciences rather than princesses and dragons. This was normal for her and was the only thing she knew for the longest time. It was the perfect setting for her parent’s perfect child. However, they couldn’t control the setting forever and, as she grew older, she was eventually let to go to an all girls academy for schooling. There she grew as a teen, both socially and mentally, and would eventually graduate. It wasn’t until she went off to college that Maria became who she is now. Just around the same time she met her brother for the first time.

Ingame Personality:
Zeira is, perhaps, the antithesis of Maria herself, though some things still ring true from her user. Though Maria is always cool and composed, Zeira is hot headed and prone to arguing with anybody over just about anything. Don’t like ice cream on a cold day? Argument. However, it is no surprise that she still retains the overall friendliness which Maria possess, almost always being the first to greet a new person and offer them help. She’s always the first to rush in to battle when someone is in need and, by default, always the first to fight without a plan. Surprisingly enough, Zeira even goes far enough to act as if she doesn’t have a care in the world, as if the outside world doesn’t matter at all to her.

Class:
Acolyte

Notable Skills:

Whirlwind- Using her surprising agility, Zeira does a 360 spin attack with her staff which knocks back foes near her. Costs a lot of stamina to use.
Onwards!- Zeira boosts her and any ally near her’s speed for a short period of time, though it is limited to 5 people effect. Costs stamina to active, though it isn’t a lot.
Light Heal- One of the few moves Zeira has that allows her to support her allies, Light Heal restores a portion of the target’s health but takes a few seconds to cast. Can easily be interrupted by a high damage move.

-Bo Staff
-Leather wraps
