Character Sheet for Shadowcatcher

Name: Momo Suzumori

Screenname: Shadowy

Age: 20

Appearance:


Avatar:


Race: Salamander

Personality: Momo is an extremely quirky girl with a serene disposition and many eccentric beliefs and qualities. Often described as 'a child at heart', she is a complete nonconformist; she lacks a barrier between her brain and mouth, as a result, is not afraid to speak her mind and show who she truly is. This being a rather shy and kind girl with a childlike take on everything. Often times she will do random odd things such as talk to herself or turn away during the middle of a conversation. Despite having the attention span of a rabid squirrel, Momo is also intelligent and unusually perceptive of her friends feelings and thoughts. Her demeanor and voice are often distant and dreamy, and she will drift away from a conversation she does not find interesting. She has an uncanny way of making others uncomfortable by being bluntly honest, or rather embarrassingly honest. If she finds herself stuck in an embarrassing situation, she'll giggle her way out of it. She is completely carefree and rarely seems anxious or under stress, even under difficult circumstances. Momo is very good at comforting others and is usually quite a joy to be around. She has extremely well-developed senses, and an aesthetic appreciation for beauty. She's not interested in leading or controlling others, but more wanting to make everyone else happy. She is flexible and open-minded about other people lives, traditions, stories, etc.. She is also original and very creative and enjoys living in the present moment.

Occupation: She is a part time Art Student, studying to be an Art Teacher one day. Works as anew apprentice Bartender in a restaurant every day but Sunday. Normally online after 8pm. Is online after noon on Sundays.

Bio: Born into a family of strong intellectuals, Momo has always been scolded for being more artistic and not studious. This caused her to have a rather detached relationship with her parents from an early age. After high school her parents cut her off from their wealth and she has been on her own since. She is very self sufficient and pays for herself to go to art school. It's not always easy for her, aND most days she works well past her physical and emotional limit. Alfheim offered her a temporary escape from the toughness of real life, and ash a result, usually avoids conflict in the game. She is content simply running her small shop out of her house in the middle of no where. She is always excited to meet new people, and is currently looking for people to help work her shop when she is offline.

Other:
Shop: She owns a coffee shop that she runs in her house in Alfheim Online.

Weapons:

• Scarlet Obsidian - One Handed Straight Sword

Character Sheet for RoflsMazoy

Name: Kosuke Kimura

(Main)Screen Name: Beastiary

Age: 17-ish

Appearance:

Avatar: (Couldn't find a picture really, kind just being lazy >.<)
Same as in real life except he wears a really standard scrappy looking hooded travelling cloak and the rest of his clothes are sort of just really dirty. Also, imagine some Sylph ears.

Race: Sylph

Personality: He doesn't talk much to anyone but his friends, and even to his friends only if they talked to him first. He thinks to himself an awful lot and with good reason. He's not really tragic though, mainly he's just sort of bored. Not exactly fully 'I have nothing to doooo!' bored, but more like going through a checklist bored. He's always going through checklists because that's a part of what he mainly does.

He likes people who don't feel the need to talk to him when they don't really need to talk to him. He secretly likes it when people actually go to talk casually to him, as he doesn't like initiating casual conversation because he's really bad at it. Basically, he's socially inept.

Occupation: He's primarily a normal student. He doesn't have a job because he spends all his time playing Alfheim anyway. When he isn't in Alfheim, he'll be working on he and his some of his other friends' website 'Encyclopedia Yggdrasill' which is basically a catalogue of everything that ever exists in the game, but he only ever isn't on Alfheim when he's at school.

Bio: Kosuke is an incredibly experienced ALO player having clocked literally thousands of hours playing it. But he isn't the only one, his guildmates all have similar play times. He is part of a guild named 'Encyclopedia Yggdrasil', same as their website. Each of them is incredibly experienced and are the ones who would know almost all about the game.

Kosuke has more than one character, except his current main character is 'Beastiary'. He made that avatar specifically for the guild to act as their 'hunter' and study the creatures of Alfheim online. He has the role of finding all strengths, weaknesses and attack patterns of every creature in the game, so he possesses a large variety of equipment and offensive spells to suit any weakness.

However, none of his skills in any of the weapons are particularly high, and none of the weapons he possesses are particularly good, save for his <<Katana>> skill which he has maxed. He still has a reasonable amount in all kinds of weapon skills, so he has a massive health and mana pool. However, he only knows basic elemental attack spells and he doesn't have any armor proficiency so he can't take advanatage of either his health, or his mana.

In terms of real life, Kosuke's a good kid, if a little 'consumed'. The only other major thing about him is his amazing ability to cram last minute and pass exams without answering all of the questions. He's reeeeaally good at that. He does listen to everything his parents say as they've stopped asking him to get off Alfheim so much and he takes regular breaks from it anyway so his parents are kind of fine with him being that way.

Other: He has weapons for every damage type(as in blunt, piercing, slashing etc.) in his inventory and simple spells for each damage type. He does also have a special katana which only he and his guild mates actually know about, and supposedly he has a 'secret technique'.

Avatar:



Race: Cait Sith

Personality: A carefree otaku that looks more for having fun than leveling up. Given a stick, he could entertain himself for hours, but would definitely be lonely without another body, interacting with him or not.

Occupation: Cashier at "The Bee's Needs" e-z mart.

Bio: Not the one to put the effort to make high marks in school, he went to work straight from highschool to live easy by himself. Currently lives in a nice and tidy apartment, although bare. He was well liked but never had many friends. Not that he was distant, just going a different direction than most. He plays ALO often, but also likes to have binge-watching parties and use his love of anime to hang with others.

Other: Interested in women, but not interested in romance. Anime is his highest joy at the moment.

Character Sheet for Lowkey123

Name: Koto Nanami

Screenname: Komin

Age: 20

Appearance: did not reuse this picture, credits to the artist, only one person knows that i used this before oh wait i just revealed that i reused this picture goddamn what

also a glasses wearing nurd but that wasn't in the picture so rip my life

Avatar:
but, you know, she's not a mage because Cait Siths have no magic. if you thought she was a mage just because of the way she looked you're just classcist, get out of here you normie

Race: Cait Sith

Personality: Koto is very confident in her abilities. The reason is that she often gets enough practice in to succeed in a certain action, and she gets very arrogant, mostly because she strives to be the best at something and usually gets very close. She is also very intelligent, allowing her to do research and keep it in her mind for a while.

Though, when she's busy being the best, she gets lazy. She ends up feeling like she doesn't have to compete much unless there is someone that's way better than her. If there isn't she just ends up relaxing and having fun.

She does have weaknesses, as she is in constant fear of losing one of her loved ones, as it cann happen at any moment in time. She is afraid of death in general. When she thinks about it, she fells that it can be incredibly painful for whoever's dying, and there isn't that many good sides to it.

Her goals, however, are fame, of course. The reason she likes to be the best or close in many things is because she likes the idea of being famous. If she didn't there wouldn't be many other reasons.

aand that's all. I feel like the more I list about the character, the more bad things could be pointed out about it e.e

Occupation: She works at a pharmacy on weekdays from 10am to 5pm, so she's on most times when she gets off work or has time on the weekends.

Bio: Koto was born into a family as the middle child. She has a younger brother, and an older sister. The way she was treated helped shaped her personality a ton, as she felt that the other two children got much more attention than she did. So, she strived to be better than both of them at school, which would be hard considering her older sisters learns more than she does >.>.

But, since she was kinda lazy during the time period where she was the best in her family at school, she got passed. Then it was tiring to pull all-nighters just to pass her older sister again. In a way it was a friendly rivalry, but it was pretty annoying.

That's the two short things about her personality and how she was trated earlier and stuffs, yay.

Other: Not much else, to be honest.

Personality
A lonely soul is what I see. The eyes that wander off into the lands through the window, and the sun shining so brightly against her as she watches the trees and buildings pass bye. A ghost is what she is, a simple blur that passes bye, being unnoticed by others. So cold is what they see and feel, her voice soft and yet scared by others, the door is slightly open and the air is cold inside the room. Her serene voice hums against the wind, the soft tune in which curves and turns, going up and down against the walls and roof, you can feel that lonely air as it touches your skin, you can feel her body shaking as she gets near others. " Help " She cries, as she is forcefully withdrawn.

Her life was a blur, only three years in which she remembers...the time where she was only happy, the time when she felt as if she can go beyond her limits and surpass her comfort zone. " Love you...

" You can do better than that! I know you can, just believe. " He says, his arms wrapped around her neck, his head lightly against hers. Holding the pencil in which was between her fingers. She begins to draw, her touches soft and yet hard, creating an image...seemingly her whole life as she'd expierenced it. Others gasped in awe as they looked at the drawing...he simply smiled, hugging her tightly, " I knew you could... ". The memories flow softly through her brain, continuing her work, continuing her...seemingly endless love. " Boom! ", a loud crash outside of the school...it was him. She recognized the car, but not the other. Smoke rising from the air as blood begins to consume the scene. Her heats shatters until...its no more, breaking down into tears as she lost her first love. " Alright! Its on. " Her father says, plopping the nerve-gear against her head, 'Start...' her voice trails off as she says the word, the screen turning on as she goes to sleep... - Will revise

Character Sheet for Bright_Ops

Name: Andrew Macdonald

Screenname: Sindri

Age: 23

Appearance:


Avatar:


Race: Spriggan

Personality: Andrew is not the most social of people, often times avoiding situations that require him to go outside and deal with the general public when he has the option. Over the years of his life he has developed what he calls a tolerance to dealing with people, but the more time he spends around people the more drained and stressed out he will become. Despite this he does try to be polite, respectful and friendly whenever he can but most people don't really seem to see the world the same way he does and it bothers him.

Strangely, a lot of this fades away when Andrew dons the mask of Sindri. Logging on as Sindri not only allows Andrew to escape the stress of day to day life, but also himself; All the social problems that plague him in the real world don't seem to cross over into the virtual one, allowing Andrew to be who he wants to be as Sindri. Talkative, always willing to put forwards an idea on what to do but willing to follow someone else if it proves itself better in the current situation and admittingly a bit of a flirt.

Occupation: Andrew is currently unemployed, living at home with his parents and supported by a disability pension (While he is very high functioning, that social issue runs deeper then people think). He is actively looking for work however.

Bio: The youngest and only son in the family, Andrew judges himself harshly because he is the only one that hasn't sort out higher education or moved out of home on his own. Andrew sums up his life with the word 'Meh'; He doesn't feel strong emotion in a positive or negative way, the days all blend together to the point that he has trouble remembering what day it is normally and swears that he foresees days weeks in advance in his dreams. While he loves his parents deeply, he will only talk to them for so long a day before shutting himself in his room again to surf the internet or log into Alfheim. He has been logging in more and more lately due to his desire to be Sindri for a while.

Character Sheet for Crimmy

Name: Choi Ha-neul/Sai Makoto

Screenname: AntoniusPius

Age: 16

Appearance:


A brown-haired girl of a metre seventy, Makoto is of a greater height than the national average of most Japanese females, a trait that she sometimes utilises to intimidate if possible, and puts her on a somewhat equal level with males her age. While not extremely beautiful, she is a rather fair woman, though her constant scowls, deadpan chocolate eyes and disbelieving expressions fail to adequately display prettiness, and instead promote the look of a serious person. She possesses a medium build for her age, one that slightly muscular thanks to her tendency to exercise (for theatre can be quite physically demanding from time to time, especially in lead roles). Her hair is actually rather messy, flowing convolutedly down her neck in a manner that makes the brown mass look as if she never brushes after emerging from bed.

When not wearing her school uniform, Makoto can be found wearing a variety of different clothing, whether they be hoodies, jeans, dresses, blouses, jackets, frog costumes, medieval wear or the like.

Avatar:


When playing Alfheim Online, Makoto (or AntoniusPius) possesses a far more formal appearance, with straighter, neater hair, a more boyish face and wearing a fantastical suit and long dress combination, one fitting of a grand maestro. She also dons a hat from time to time, one that would assist in "cutening" her, had her signature scowls and bland looks not carried over into the game.

Race: Púca

Personality: It is not inaccurate to say that Makoto is especially competent in numerous areas, whether it be schoolwork, sports and the arts (including her favoured theatre). Her skills, in her eyes, justify the rather arrogant attitude she possesses, though she will always seek to act in a dignified manner in order to serve as a good role model for her underclassmen at her school. Yet she can be quite an abrasive jerk at times, usually when dealing with those who she finds annoying or opposed to what she views as right, for no matter how rude she can potentially be, the teenage girl holds a good sense of ethics within her (and may or may act impulsively upon them if they truly pertain to her interests).

Acting is one of the girl's greatest passions, and indeed, she is a master at changing the way she acts, capable of shifting roles immediately depending on the situation. But this fan of theatre (with large focus on Shakespeare) has also utilised this skill of hers to constantly hide away her true emotions, her regrets and all that she does not wish others to know. Makoto is also torn between accepting her Korean heritage and dealing with the discrimination she suffers from her fellow Japanese. She has over the years grown to dislike her background, sometimes having wished that her mother never married a Korean man, but even so takes great pride in it, and loves her father very much. It is a contradictory feeling, and she has yet to truly let go of all the bullying she suffered due to her ethnicity. In order to avoid more of the same, she has taken to identifying by her native Japanese name of Sai Makoto rather than Choi Ha-neul, but she will respond to the latter if called.

Occupation: Student, Theatre Actress

Bio: A second-year student at Yamagawa High School in a small city near Tokyo, Makoto was born to a Korean father and a Japanese mother, a fact that would lead to her constant bullying throughout the majority of her early life. It was difficult making friends, especially when one was somewhat of an outcast. So she decided to focus on her own interests rather than friends, and at the age of ten, would fall in love with Shakespearean theatre, planting the seeds for her future dreams and ambitions. Developing friendships no longer worried her, and Makoto threw herself straight into performing, and by the time she had entered high school, she had become an integral member of the theatre club. She has grown to enjoy playing Alfheim Online as well, frequently logging when she has time to see how well she can act as a different person.

Other: She may or may not have found herself a group of minions to help her perform club duties.

Weapons: Roman Spatha, Flute, Violoncello

In-Game Appearance

Another Shot of her, just in case

Name: Tsukiyama Chitose

Screenname: Millia

Age: 18, yes, 18, even though she looks way younger.

Race: Imp

Personality: Chitose is someone friendly and hardworking, like anyone else in the world. The only thing is that she has a deep, deep complex about her height and looks that, despite clarifying it more than once, still makes people confuse her for a child. She has a deep love for alcohol too, and can even be called a first grade drunkard, though in the real world it is really hard for her to get her hands on some alcohol, without being sent to the police station for a minor trying to buy alcohol. As so, her appearance in-game lets her drink as much as she wants without having to worry, now, if only the alcohol were real.... While she tries to watch her mouth and be good mannered while sober, when she gets drunk, all of that is sent out of the window. She is experienced enough as not to talk her mind away while drunk, though.

Occupation: College Student and part-time worker as a waitress in a bar.

Bio: Chitose doesn't have much pained experiences, neither is she searching for the one that killed for her parents, or the one that blew up her planet, or stuff like that. She is simply a girl with half Italian heritage and a father that worked at a company that made sake. So, most of her lunches were accompanied by wine and whatnot, because of her mother saying that was the best way to have a meal. Her parents also like drinking, but not quite as much as her, maybe it was the result of having been born to two people who had been in contact with alcohol for quite a while during their lives. Other than that, there aren't any hugely remarkable things about her life.

Other: Her alcohol resistance is indeed quite good, and it is a wonder how she has not died of alcohol poisoning. It seems her grandfather back in Italy has an estate with a vineyard in it, and is also recognized by many as a great wine-maker, however, and since her mother refuses to let her meet him, saying they would get along a bit too well to be healthy for both of them, she does not know even his name.

Simon is a pretty laid back guy. He'd usually be the first person to jump to his feet to help anyone who's in need of assistance. Simon is pretty easy to scare and rarely ever gets mad. He's a people person so it's almost impossible to find him doing a quest by himself. Has a great imagination and a very carefree spirit. Simon believes that everything should be done in a majestic and in an enthusiastic way. If that's even possible. He also has a British accent.

Occupation:

Name: Taiki Hayate

Screenname: Mythrilite

Age: 19

Appearance:

Avatar:


Race: Spriggan

Personality: Taiki is a friendly guy, although it's a bit hard for him to actually show it. When one looks at him, one would think he's some smart-ass who doesn't really care about others and always has some smart remark ready, although that thought wouldn't be entirely wrong. He doesn't really tend to join conversations either, instead preferring to listen.

However, when he logs into Alfheim Online, he becomes more... alive. He's very courteous and a lot more talkative than he is in real life. However, he still prefers to go solo, often going into caves and such to explore the depths and go treasure-hunting, as his race is best at. He's not one to turn down an offer of help, though.

Occupation: He's currently studying to be an accountant in college. Otherwise, he spends most of his time in Alfheim Online.

Bio: Nothing much really special. His parents were often both out working, which left him in the house with his younger brother. He almost always received high grades in school, and received a scholarship into his college of choice. However, during all that time, he looked for a way to kill time. He found that answer in the form of Alfheim Online, and used it to get away from the daily stresses of life so he could enjoy himself. He found himself acting like a different person, and decided that he liked doing that, although that behavior never transferred into real life. He's spent quite a bit of time in Alfheim Online now, and has gotten rare items that few people had gotten because he often went into areas few people went to and solved puzzles that others often tried to solve using brute strength rather than patience and perseverance.

Other: Mythrilite has a rather unusual fighting style within the game. He wields a dagger, but in pvp, that is really more for blocking/deflecting his opponent's attacks so he can counterattack with martial arts.

Personality: Kaito can first come off as the quiet person who does not like to talk to people which is strange for his work, but does open up to people the more you talk to him. He is normally pretty friendly person who enjoys meeting new people even though at first he is a bit shy. He enjoys meeting people online and connecting with them as he can be whoever he wants instead of a broke college student who is struggling make it on his own as a bartender on the side.

Bio: Kaito was raised in a middle-class family who had big dreams for their son. As Kaito was growing up they had him focus on his school work not letting him have much time for his own enjoyment. It was this simple diligence that allowed him to be accepted into the college of his choice to the praise of his parents who explained to him that once he moved to Tokyo for college they would pay for his apartment as long as he kept his grades up. Once he went away for college he was introduced to Alfheim Online and was instantly hooked as he now trys to balance his school time, with his part-time job and playing the VRMMORPG.

Other: Inside Alfheim, his character is a skilled treasure hunter who is known for going on solo and party missions to hunt down the most elusive treasures in the game.

Screenname: Dondreigan

Age: 17

Appearance:

Avatar:
Ignore the weapon...

Race Leprechaun

Personality: He is by far a quick thinker (verging on the edge of ADHD) but this has its downsides because if he is thinking faster then everyone else he also starts speaking faster so his word's become utter gibberish to the ear's. so he ends up having to repeat himself much to his annoyance but there are advantages to this quick thinking such as his adaptability to changes in the situation. When it comes to academics anything that involves art he is a utter failure at yet he averages at every subject except Computer Programming which he excels at.

now there are differences between his Ingame personality and his real life personality

In the game when it comes to loot finding you can be sure he will seem to be the most greedy asking for the highest amount of supply's. he doesn't do this to be a ass though but because he would use those supply's to make weapons which he will then sell back to the other members in the party at the time, for a dirt cheap price another thing in the game that differ's to his personality is his hunger for a fight (almost edging on blood-lust) but he can restrain himself if he believes he might be going too far

In real life he is almost a pacifist but even if he could fight back he wasn't really built for fighting more so that he has the build of a runner not of a fighter, this had lead to a harsh nickname for him and if that nickname is said in front of him he will instantly turn sour in the conversation.

Occupation: Currently a College Student working part time as a Waiter (although he hates standing around it does pay quite fairly so its worth it) aiming to get a job as a programmer at one of the leading Video game production company's

Bio: Alfred is half English on his mothers side hence why his name difference's from more traditional names due to being a only child, Alfred's parents are very supportive of him and as long as he hold's down a job and get good grades he can play Alfheim as much as wish's. he has moved college's twice due to bullying but has managed to stay at his 3rd college and it has so far been going swimmingly, In Alfheim Alfred commonly takes the role as the party's tank instigating the fight and holding the front line but he does diversify between role's, his excuse for this "I am a blacksmith i make weapons. What good are they if i can't use them?" as such his magic skills are severely lacking so he can be outclassed at range but his weapon skill's are in the higher tiers but he has a preference for a hand and a half (bastard) sword and a medium sized shield. the main reason why he diversify's though is to garner a goal as a well known player feared for their skills with weapons but even he knows this is a far stretched dream

Other:

He owns a blacksmithery in Leprechaun terratory

"Home away from home"

although his weapons diversfy (he takes what ever weapon he can get from a raid) he is usually found using these two weapons but not all the time


This is his trusty sword he can wield it by himself for more powerful blow's and more control or with one hand for more flexible strikes and the abilty to guard himself more effectively with the shield.

Character Sheet for Unfortunately

Name: (in regular, first-to-sur order) Koishi Amanohara

---

When undyed, Koishi Amanohara's hair is brown. Yes, her chest is justice.

---

Screenname: Ciryes

---

---

Age: 19

Race: Undine

Personality: Koishi is seemingly so stupid in-game, one might even wonder how the hell did she get through high school. The answer is simple: being an online Ken M troll is her hobby, alongside with cosplaying her avatar as Cirno (hence Ciryes), the moronic ice fairy in a series of shooter games.

In the real world, Koishi is just as childish and arrogant as her electronic persona, albeit her intelligence simply matches that of a normal human's. When she does meet a known Alfheim player outside of Amusphere, she attempts to become just as stupid as her avatar, although she still identifies herself as Koishi instead of Ciryes.

Occupation: 1st year communication arts student.

Bio: In the first few years of her education, Koishi was your typical douche. Despite her cutesie name that led her to her brief life of delinquency, she managed to compete and overpower her intimidators that thought her name labeled her as a gentle, patient wimp to pick on. Only when she reached her eight grade did it came to her senses that her habits did not earn her any friends. From then on, Koishi lived a high school life attempting to be more friendly and developing most of her hobbies, but the shame of her past lived on through some students who happened to transfer to her selected school and spilled the beans on her past.

Thankfully, as she graduated from high school, her family moved to Kyoto to put her in a greater-known college. With that, she could start her new life of reality quickly... while continuing her life as Ciryes in Alfheim Online, which she started playing months ago. Currently, she lives in a suburban home in Kyoto alongside her entire nuclear family that includes 2 younger siblings that are both male, but not twins. They are still in their childhood, and are not much of significance story-wise.

Other: Ciryes is part of the "Great Fairy Alliance" guild, which is actually a fanguild to some shooter game they say ain't for "casuals". Also, ever since developing an enjoyment to this shooter game that she has marathoned in its entirety and moved on to Alfheim Online, Koishi now likes her name a lot.

Name: Des Taylor

Screenname: KawaiianPunch666

Age: 19

Appearance:


Avatar:


Race: Imp

Personality: Kind of a hard nut to crack. She's intelligent and warm, maybe even quick to laugh, but Des has problems opening herself up and tends to delegate herself towards the background of things. She's not without a fair bit of charm, but she also is fully capable of admitting that she doesn't do well in crowds. Much more assertive inside a game than she is in real life.

She also tends to be much more decisive and bold about her friends than she is about herself; every time someone asks her what she wants to do with her life, or even what she is majoring for at school, she freezes up and churns out a bashful "Ohh...just stuff, I don't really know what I feel like yet" or naming a random career she thinks she could be okay at ("Oh, you know...space is pretty cool. I wouldn't mind a job in...space...yeah.")

Occupation: Second year college student, karaoke priestess and queen of humming to herself when she thinks she's alone

Bio: Des moved from America when she was fourteen to help make her father's move more convenient - he had taken a job as Earthly Conduit to the Nether Beyond the Stars a high-ranking official in an investment bank, and doted on his daughter to the point where he almost turned down the job when he believed she would stay stateside. She decided that there wasn't a lot of harm in at least trying out a new country, and if she didn't like it she could always just Skype her mom and ask to come home. As fate would have it, she did end up liking it.

She coasted through school and decided to attend college in Japan (for what she is still TOTALLY blanking on) instead of going back home. When not in classes or being coaxed to hang out with friends, she can be found quietly doing other people's homework (for cash of course) or playing ALO.

Other: Wears two slim silver bands, dotted with sapphires, on her right ring finger - gifts from her father. Her all-time best karaoke performance was a howling rendition of Hells Bells, complete with a dramatic fifty two seconds of actually mimicking bells. Has over 4,000 hours worth of songs on her MP3 player set to loop while she plays ALO, ranging from Johnny Cash to Ice Cube before the industry had him neutered.

Avatar:(couldn't find any anime dudes dual wielding tower shields)



Race: Gnome

Personality: While sporting a longer fuse than his high school years, Henry still has a bit of a temper, outside of, strangely enough, the world of gaming. In either realm, when not incensed, he is a cool-headed, frank, and sharper than his straightforward nature might lead you to believe. Has a rather massive protective streak, coming from a history of very, very bad anger issues. The kind that lead to broken faces and suspensions, and damaged friendships to say the least. Turns out hurting random people just because they said something dumb really sucks. Who knew, right?

Occupation: College Student, Undecided Major leaning on Audio Engineering.

Bio: Grew up in a life full of really, really prevalent anger issues. Apparently the Nordic and Japanese ethnic mixture brought the older berserker genes to the fore. Who'd have guessed, right? In any case, all the way up until sophomore year, he was a less than model student, always distracted and volatile until an acquaintance gave him an outlet in martial arts. He's not quite the best at it, but that didn't really matter, as long as he could lengthen that fuse and be around such a positive atmosphere. Somehow he stuck with it, learning at his own casual pace even though it was mainly an excuse to wail on a bag and watch the other people ply their trade. Ended up finishing high school with decent grades, busted his butt hard enough to make into college, and is starting out his second year as something of an introvert, with slight ideas of what he wants to do with himself, Skype constantly geared towards friends from home, and a brand new AmuSphere that he's not sure what to do with besides "play something that looks interesting, like Alfheim".

Other: Weapons: Shields. Two of them, both great. An undeniable will to protect those in his party, going beyond what his stated reason of it "just being his job". Recently discovered his vocal chords actually being ~pleasant~ when not making a low, annoyed grumble. Has had a few friends' taste rub off on him, leading to a wide range of pop-culture and niche culture references he'll actually get, if not necessarily make.

Out loud, anyway.

Name: Malik Shinsato

Age: 20

Race: Slyph

Personality: Unlike most VR players these days, Malik’s real life personality is distinctly different when compared to his in-game personality. These mainly stems from Malik still seeing the game as just as a game and he plays mainly for the sake of his own enjoyment. As a result in-game he comes off as aloof due to his lone wolf playstyle. Malik has never been one to party with random people he doesn’t know and thus he rarely talks to anyone in-game. Instead Malik can be seen silently trekking through the game as he underlevels bosses and progresses further into the game.

In real-life though Malik is far from an apathetic loner. On the other hand he can be seen constantly pulling pranks and telling jokes to the dismay of all who know him. Malik is someone who hates seeing people being depressed and mopey, believing angst to be best left for fictional characters like Shinji. Taking this belief into consideration, it’s easy to see why Malik is always pulling off crazy stunts and pranks, not to mention offering an ear to anyone who’s in the mood to vent. The way he sees it if he can make someone laugh, smile or at the very least forget about their worries for a while, it’s been a day well spent.

Occupation: College Student studying to be a Teacher.

Bio: Malik was born to one Japanese parent and one Pakistani parent, hence explaining his odd name. Not that Malik has ever minded, his unique background has offered him opportunities that most people aren’t so fortunate to receive. Such as his trilingual speaking abilities, or the frequent traveling to Pakistan and Japan he got to do as a child. Malik grew up in the States and, thanks to his doting father, has been playing video games since he was young. Other than his odd family background, Malik’s childhood is fairly unremarkable. He’d live day to day, balancing school work, friends, family and of course video games.

When Malik entered college, he was at first unsure of what direction he wanted to take his life in. It was only after a heart to heart with his brother, that Malik realized that the easiest way to cheer up angsty people was to become a teacher. After all teenagers were some of the most whiny creatures on the planet. Thus Malik found himself on the fast track to becoming a teacher, albeit a somewhat unorthodox one.

Curious to see how different countries handled the education of their youth, Malik decided to study abroad in Japan. His unique background made the transition easier than it might have otherwise turned out. Arriving in Japan he was pleased to find himself with the opportunity to play many games that had never been exported.

Malik got dragged into Alfheim by some friends on Skype. While at first he would spend most of his time partying up with his friends, differences in timezones soon made such meetings more and more difficult. It wasn’t long before Malik rapidly outpaced his friends in level and coupled with the waning interest of his friends, Malik has since been playing the game on his own. It wasn’t long before he became an extremely formidable lone wolf player.

Other: Playing a Slyph, Malik has decided to invest most of his skills into his speed and stealth. As a result Malik is blindingly fast and capable of kiting monsters with tremendous ease. This, coupled with his deadly backstab and stealth abilities, explains his deadly ability in game. In terms of weaponry Malik prefers to stick with twin daggers for close combat and large number of throwing daggers for some options at range.

Name: Abraham Martin

Screenname: ArtifactHunter

Age: 19

Race: Leprechauns

Personality: A foreigner in another land, Abraham could be forgiven for not being the most social, or being overwhelmed by his surroundings. Contrary to what might be expected, he’s quite the opposite. He’s naturally friendly, a fact made easier by his fluency in Japanese, and he’s never averse to meeting new faces. Witty remarks aren’t uncommon, but they’re usually meant in good fun.

As a student, Abe is both intelligent and diligent. That doesn’t, however, mean that he doesn’t goof off in ALO under the excuse of “doing research”. Given his field of study, the excuse is a valid one, despite the fact that he very much is playing games. He tends to have an excellent knowledge of artifacts, both in real world mythologies and in ALO, and has a penchant for seeking them out within the game.

Occupation: College student, majoring in VR Game Design. Work part time in the school library.

Bio: Abraham is a native of England, and has had a fondness for video games from an early age. His family traveled often, and as a result he visited Japan several times as a child. He was rather fond of the country, and enjoyed these visits immensely. Most of his childhood was fairly normal, without any particularly unusual incidents. Games were one of his favorite hobbies, and he could be found playing RPGs quite often on his computer.

It was on one of his family’s trips that he obtained a Nervegear, fairly early in their use. He played the early games for the device, but like most, he was fully aware that it didn’t really live up to its potential. Until Sword Art Online premiered with FullDive technology, that is. He applied for the Beta test immediately, and was shocked when he was awarded a chance to take part. He loved the game, and played as much as possible during the Beta test. He grew to be fairly good at it. When the test ended, however, he was unable to buy a copy of the game at the time, despite Beta testers being offered a chance to preorder it. He was nearing the end of his secondary school career, and needed to focus on it before he had time to play games. His reasoning was that he could simply obtain a copy a little later, once he had more time.

It was this choice alone that kept him from being one of the only international players trapped in SAO. Despite his, and the world’s, shock at the event, it only pushed him further towards his passion of VR Game Design. He wasted no time in applying as an international student to a school in Japan, seeking to be closer to the source for the games he loved to play, and wished to design.

After the Nervegears were confiscated, he purchased an Amusphere for use both in his classwork, and for playing ALO. He’s a regular player, after (and occasional during) school hours.

Other: Like most Leprechauns, Abraham is an adept craftsman in the world of ALO, and tends to craft equipment that he has too picky a set of specifications for. Legendary equipment is something of an overarching desire, and he tends to pursue rumors of such items when he hears of them.

Abraham, most often, prefers to fight using a degree of agility and adept use of a longsword. His style, however, is fairly adaptable, as his weapon of choice changes frequently based on what he has most recently crafted or obtained.
