A plastic grocery bag crinkles as it dangles from his hand, just a few items from the gas station on the way home from the basketball court. Head of brown hair bobs with old school headphones and a walkman; the only thing he reaching his ears is some music his mom burned on a cd a long time ago. As he vibes with it, his mind passively picks out interesting sounds to use later in his own music.

All in all, a regular Saturday morning for Talon.

He continues to bop his way along as he reaches the door of his flat. Through the brick-edged doorway and up the staircase to the side. One key turn, the door opens and locks shut behind him, and a backpack hits the floor. He'll empty it later, and put things where they belong. he doesn't move right away, however, too into the song to stop it midway. It's only when it flows through to its natural end that he feels right hitting pause and slipping the headphones down.

The sounds here were totally different than the booming base. Quieter, but always with a buzz of lower level noise. People talking out loud, children laughing, horn honking, tires squealing, the far off music of the local cantina. And in that new vibe, he starts humming and bopping his head to a beat he has not even yet crafted.

His movements were fairly well practiced, his task absolutely mundane. One instant ramen in the microwave and a sports water on the counter. The bag gets crumpled up and tossed in the garbage basketball style and he finally grabs his bag.

He could study later, or even tomorrow.

The bag has now been abandoned again, this time at the foot of his bed.

With an exhale, the young man would set the walkman down and plop down into his comfy gamer's chair. For a moment he stayed still, just collecting his thoughts and running though the mental checklist of what he wanted to do while at his desk.

The first thing he wanted to do was have some game time, check out this new game that his buddy recommended him. It sounded interesting, because while most MMOs were about killig slime monsters and orcs, this one had ghosts and demons and the like. A little different with a harder edge, supposedly.

Navigating there wasnt hard. In fact, it was the usual. Pop in the disk, write in a code, enter a username, password, and start a new character. For something like this, he wasn't really going put much thought into it. Infact, he was just going to use his name.

He messed around with the sliders a little bit - something that actually turned into a two hour venture, given how many options there were.

And then he pushed play.

The starting area was based off of game-play region according to a couple of the pop-ups. It seemed that the local area would be the town of Coleburgh. An old coal & natural gas town that had long been covered in thick layers of smog before the 'disappearances' had begun throughout the world. The place resembled more of a large industrial age city, with brick buildings standing tall though soulless. Factories pumping out smoke without people to run them, and generally a rather eerie and depressed atmosphere to the place.

The spawn point would be right in front of a decaying puppet store, given a little bit of an introduction animation to arriving there.

Aread Khosrow, a 'Half-fae' in this game would spawn out of the puppet store opening the door. A short humanoid, with sligthly pointed ears, and a mostly slim figure overall. Their skin was a a deep faded purple, and eyes a bright red to match. Along their body were faint bluish-veins pushed to the surface, that looked like they came from a painful transformation. The blue would match the small dragon-fly like wings along their back.
The character had brown long skirt, over a pair of baggy pants and was holding a large gnarled branch wrapped around an amber stone. Their, starting weapon.

A game pop-up would appear on the gaming screen!
It was blurry and had suddenly flashed onto screen with a big green button.
It was hard to read all of it from the smaller text, but in big bold lettering:




NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE SIGN UP NOW!
IN DEPTH GAMEPLAY
INCREASED EXPERIENCE, WITH 3D VISUAL TRACING
REALISTIC FIRST VISUALS UPDATE OPTION AVAILABLE IN THE NEXT 5 MINUTES!



Without thinking much about it, Aread would click the option.
Figuring it would be helpful as a 'new player', and that most others would probably do so as well.

"Guess they're trying to speed level new players closer to the higher level content."
Aread would speak up.

Having already spawned it, Talon stood off to the side of the spawnpoint. He would look around the spawn area with a little half grin, and definitely took a moment to take in the music. "Nice, moody." he nods to himself. Then he checks out his weapon, which was essentially just a sharpened stick. He snirks, "Oh yea. I guess that's level one for you."

He had created a bog standard human, and used his first name. The idea was to use the character as a temporary one, to learn the game before starting something more interesting to get more serious. But that didn't mean that he hadn't had some fun with the looks. He had chosen to have black, short hair and blue eyes. Theres not a lot to modify on a human body, but there is makeup. Yes, even on male characters.

He took, in contrast with his blue eyes, golden eyeshadow that shimmers just a bit lighter than his skin tone. And from the outside corner of his eyes, a little spike of red, that takes a sudden angle, coming down to his mid-cheeks. He liked it because it had reminded him of some MMOs from some anime he had watched.

He was about to take a more thorough look around the are when a window popped up infront of him. "huh.."

Increased experience? visual tracking? Heck yes.

He too would push the button.

Then, hearing someone speak up, He looks over and nods, "That makes sense."
