Biography:

Matsumoto, or Matsu, as is his usual online persona, has never really wanted for anything. His parents are CEOs of two different companies, making Matsumoto's family filthy rich. On topof that, he was their only child. Matsumoto, despite their wealth, started out in a public school, as his parents thought it would be best if he socialized with normal kids lest he stigmatize himself fromsociety. After an incident at the age of ten, though, in which Matsumoto and some other boys had vandalized school property, his parents pulled him out of the public school. Their demenour was that the "normal" boys were affecting their son badly. From then on, he was hardly allowed to leave their mansion, and was privately tutored by professors. His weeks involved little in the way of socialing. Besides the tutoring, he was being taught the piano and the flute, as his parents put weight not only on academic performance, but also on artistry.

Matsumoto had a need, though, for socializing and for entertainment. Those needs led him to the online world, where he discovered a wonderful medium for socializing as well as having fun, without having to leave the mansion. He decided he would become a gamer. His parents were disinclined to let their only son misspend his youth, but acknowledged the fact that he had strong social needs as well. It kept him inside the safe walls of their mansion, and as long as it didn't impact his work, they saw no problem with it. Soon, Matsumoto had become addicted to online gaming. Especially MMORPGs, in which he felt he could escape the boredom of life completely. He could be someone else entirely, and delve deep into fantasy worlds. He excelled at it, and made friends quicker than he'd ever done in real life. When the NerveGear came on the market, he was among the first in line. Or, rather, one his father's secretaries was. It was amazing to experience true virtual worlds. However, he wasn't really impressed until he discovered the game Sword Art Online. Right from the bat, he knew it was going to be his everything. When they announced closed beta, he pounced on it, and received his key. It was everything he had hoped for, and more. For two months, he reveled in this fantastical virtual world, in which time he hardly did anything else. When the game finally launched, he was more ready than most.

Sorry for postponing the IC a day, but was forced to wait for creativity. I made up for it with content, though, I think. May have gone a bit overboard.

Real Name: Sachiko Hara
IG Username: Saki
Age: 17
Physical Description: Sachiko is a short and rather dainty girl in the real world, she stands no more than 5'4'' and hardly weighs more than a 100. This short stature made her somewhat fearful of the world as everyone seemed to baby her and look down upon her, never allowing her to blossom on her own. With short trimmed black hair and a pair of lavender eyes Sachiko could easily be described as a beauty, but to most of her friends she's still the little one.
Picture:

Weapon Skills: One-handed Curved Blade.
Profession Skills: Cooking.
General Skills: Tracking, Listening.

Brief History: Sachiko's family was one to never share love, they kept their emotions and thoughts bottled up, instead just doing what was expected of them. Although Sachiko went along with it, she despised the real world and found comfort in many artistic talents such as cooking and drawing. When she entered high school, the school's workload became so enormous Sachiko could hardly find time for herself and began overworking her body. Eventually her father forbid her from doing anything she really enjoyed and forced her to focus on school, completely draining anything she had becoming almost a husk of a person. When Sword Art Online was released, Sachiko bought it without her father knowing and planned to login with two friends she knew from school. As soon as she put the NerveGear, she was hooked onto Sword Art Online. In fact, part of her will be glad to be trapped in this world, away from her family.

I'm going to find a new picture because for some reason this one bothers me! :P

Also I made a post, I hope its okay. Just curious what you had in mind for this dungeon?

It's still day-time, by the way. Otherwise we have to wait another day to venture out. Also, I liked your post.

Well, I haven't thought about the specifics for the dungeon so much yet, except that it's a hidden underground dungeon, which can only be reached if one has that key. I thought it would be a tomb-style dungeon, with egyptian skeletons and mummies and such.
