Yuri Mishiba

Matte

Age:

16

Race:

Imp

History:

Yuri's just your average kid, if it means getting average A-B scores in most classes, having no idea as to what to do in the future in terms of career choice, and generally not giving two craps about politics unless it's on social media. But, unlike most kids, she's dedicated hundreds of hours around VR between sleep, exercise, and education. No, she's not a nihilist by any means, but she's rather disappointed with the world and its advancements for vanity over proper, real technology. So, she figured, why not just lose herself in a fake world? Maybe they might allow video streaming so she could make some cash on the side...and...nope. Well then...

...oh, right, her mother's French Canadian. Not that it's changed much; she's not really a fan of activities that thrive off of living within the confines of regulations and rules, regardless of the stereotypes of Caucasians. That's not even close to life if it means failing your own expectations.

Personality:

Yuri's quite friendly, perhaps too much so in that regard. She doesn't have a lot of introspective thoughts, but compensates for it by a lot of outward talk, AKA empathizing, sympathizing, just wanting to get to know people on a deeper level without divulging in her own specifics because...well, there's her belief that she's the most average of citizens. She really can't think of any redeeming qualities for herself. That's up for the other people to decide on the matters of truth.

Character Build:

Yuri's built her class around crit/stat DPS, which usually involves debuffing the ever-loving crap out of any kind of enemy by puncturing armor, hide, and vital parts with speedy strikes from a saber or dagger...or both, if she's playing in smaller groups. She compliments this high-risk, high-reward playstyle by utilizing Dark magic to trigger heavy bleeds or poison debuffs, allowing her to deal damage even when she isn't actually risking the close-range stab, as well as doing some incredible health drain if she manages to put a status on a vital spot. She doesn't usually use any stealth, though, since night-vision and the diversion of other players give her the opportunities she needs to put down a crowd.

IGN: Feera al' Naja

Age: 16

Race: Cait Sith

History: What to put here is up to you but keep it brief.

Personality: Very outgoing and expressive, Feera isn't afraid to make her thoughts or emotions known. Friendly to practical anyone she has very little problems making friends even out of stalwart opponents.

Character Build:
Beastkin Communication
Familiar Communication
Familiar Recovery
Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Whips)

Iron-Hide Boar Level 15 'Smokey'
Cait Riders Level 2

Pet Skills:
Primitive Weapon Proficiency (Tusks)
Primitive Weapon Proficiency (Hooves)
Battle Healing [Low Level]

Pet Abilities:
Blood Rage (Sacrifice HP for Attack boost)
Iron Skin Transformation (Sacrifice Speed for Defense) [Turns skin to iron]
Voluntary Flight (Cait Magic) [Low Level]
Battle Panic (Master loses control if HP is under 10%)

Pet Purpose: A high stamina, high health point pet capable of providing a potent threat and therefore also a potent distraction. It's hide is resistant to most physical attacks but it also has a severe weakness to magic, especially fire and water (melting and rust). It is capable of flight through the magic of its Cait Riders, though their low level means that the usual buffs and debuffs that they would provide beyond that are not present.

[Damiann47]

Obviously this is her when armored, I’ll add an unarmored picture once she first takes off her helm. Keeps a nice sense of mystery, eh?

RLN: Sarah Jameson

GN: Sonia

Age: 21

Race: Gnome

History: There really isn’t much to say, after becoming trapped within the game Sonia went straight to monster hunting. Her goal was to build some combat skills quickly as possible; matters were only going to get worse and she wanted the skills to defend herself. Currently she is working alone, and often times takes low risk hunting trips out of town. More recently Sonia picked up mining seeing as a Gnome she has a racial advantage in learning it, and ore does make for a nice extra source of income.

Personality: If you were to ask her Sonia would say she's "Like everyone else." Now what's more notable about her is Sonia likes to take measured risks, meaning she won't go charging into a dangerous situation, after all her actual life is on the line, but she wouldn't likely run from them either. For the most part she likes her privacy, and being a freelancer suits her just fine.

Character Build: The main idea is a defensive build with a little bit of offense.
As for the actual skills...

Proficient in Shields

Basic in Battle Healing

Other: No idea what actual levels these skills would be, so hope this works.

Age: 20

Race: Spriggan

History: Maki is a Japan native who grew up in Tokyo with both his parents. He had a basic life full of video games and anime. One day he received a letter from a company, asking to test their newest game using the Nerve Gear, Alfheim Online. Once inside the game he became the Race Leader of the Spriggans. When the announcement came saying the game was locked down, he started an effort to try to unify all the races to finish the game together. He quickly developed a small party full of multiple races.

Personality: Maki is more peaceful than war oriented. He is kind and gentle, but if somebody pisses him off or goes after somebody he cares about, he will fly off the hook.

Character Build:

Age: 17

Race: Undine

History: Lexi is from America and is online friends with Maki. She convinced her parents to go on vacation to Japan during the summer, and when they let her go shopping she snatched up a copy of Alfheim Online to bring home with her. She has yet to find Maki in the game since she only started playing just before the lockdown. She never reached any special rank either.

Personality: Lexi is extremely social and loves to meet new people, but she is easy to anger and more than willing to kill you if you piss her off.

The Leprechaun Blacksmith

"A little bit of work and any blade can be sharp."

Height: 1 Meter 78 Centimeters or 5 foot and 10 inchs
Weight: 67kg
RLN: Leon Anderson
IGN: Alexander Stonefall. (Although he calls himself Smithy)
Age: 16
Race: Leprechaun
History: Leon is a of Anglo Saxon descent however both his parents moved to japan while he was very little. So his primary language is Japanese but he is also capable of fluent English, and honestly the fact that he got really good grades in his subjects but probably had the worst social skills is one of the reasons that got him into VR the other reason. He just really loves MMOs. Since the game became essentially a literally Life, he spent the entire month working on improving his skill as Blacksmith while also dabbling in a few useful side things. Currently he works as a neutral smith, because he has no fondness to help anyone person.

Personality:
Smithy has a flair for the unknown, new stuff always excites him. as does forging new weapons that he hopes to eventually make leagues above those of the same type. In reaction to other people. He will do what hes paid for, and yet if you manage to somehow become his friend. He will actually give you stuff at a dirt cheap price much lower then other merchants, because actually getting to that point requires effort. He tries to make friends himself but since the game became a 1 life only type of deal. He hasn't really bothered.

Character Build:
Smithy's build isn't really combat orientated, something that may need improvement. However his build is one focused on support while not exactly participating himself, something that nags him because deep down he really wants to get in the thick of it because the combat looks so fun. Never the less just because he doesn't actively participate in combat doesn't mean hes not useful to have.

RLN: Ryuu Kayaza
IGN: Agni Ormr
Age: 17
Race: Cait Sith
History: Ryuu grew up in a rough neighborhood, constantly bullied and made fun of the boy shrunk away from the world and went to online games to escape his hell that he lived through everyday. When the NerveGear came out, the boy found a way to truly escape his hell of a life. Upon the discovery of being trapped in this virtual world until they either died (in which case they died in real life) or the main quest was beaten, Ryuu (now known as Agni) began to grind to become stronger. His thoughts lay in the ideal that if he was stronger, then he would survive longer. About 3 weeks after being trapped Agni went with a group of fellow high leveled Cait Sith on a mission to tame a large dragon as a way of proving they could. The mission ended up being a success, with the leader of the group becoming the new owner of the Dragon who was dubbed 'Shriekr' for her high pitched and piercing roar. However this victory came at a great cost, as only 2 (including Agni) returned from the original group of 15. During a later fight (about 2 days before the rp starts) with some salamanders, the beast tamer was struck down as he finished off the last of the salamander raiding group. In his dying moments the man called Agni over and transferred ownership of Shriekr to his son. So now the boy goes onward in the quest, remembering the promise he made that knight as he watched his father slip into death 'I promise you, I will escape this hell and lead a better life in the world than we had, Dad. Shriekr will stand by my side and help me stand firm at the end of this hell. I love you... Rest in Peace'.

* Highly protective of his friends
* Respectful
Character Build:
* Beastkin Communication
* Familiar Communication
* Familiar Recovery and Taming
* Voluntary Flight Proficiency
* Wall Running

Black Dragon Level 20 'Shriekr'
Cait Riders Level 8

Pet Skills:
* Primitive Weapon Proficiency (Teeth)
* Primitive Weapon Proficiency (Talons)
* Primitive Weapon Proficiency (Tail)
* Fire Resistance [Low Level]

Pet Abilities:
* Fire Breathing [Low Level]
* Armor of Scales (Able to use their body and high defense value to shield player.)
* Voluntary Flight (She has wings)
* Battle Panic (Master loses control if HP is under 30%)

Pet Purpose: A high stamina, high damage resistance pet capable of providing a deadly threat and therefore also an excellent distraction. Her scales are resistant to most physical attacks and fire magic but it also a severe weakness to all other kinds of magic, and attacks placed at the weak points in her armor. She is capable of flight thanks to her wings, however with her wings extended it opens up a massive hit box for critical damage to the dragon.

[The Wanderer]

Appearance:

Silver Soldier

Height: 183 cm
Weight: 79.5 Kg
RLN: Conrad Vetrov
IGN: Silver Soldier
Age: 19
Race: Spriggan
History: Conrad moved quite a bit during his childhood, and videogames were always a solace. He started playing turn based strategy, and gradually grew to enjoy most game types, developing a very analytical mindset towards play strategies. When the first, true VR came out, it was a must have. What better place to test oneself than in a full dive environment? That was when he became hooked. When Alheim Online was first pitched, he was among the first responders.

His parents were fairly content with letting him do as he liked, getting decent grades and often performing leadership roles in the local youth groups. Gaming was supposed to be just a phase. One that may prove to be his death.

Personality: On first glance, Conrad appears to be a loner. When the game started, he had a mental breakdown like many other players. For him, it was a realization that he was wasting his life in games. At first, they were just a distraction from the rigors of moving, and then they had become an excuse to avoid face to face socialization. Conrad resolved to reforge himself in this world, as a frontier to test who he would be when he escaped it. With this underlying vein, he tends to be friendly and jovial towards those he meets.

The reasoning behind his lonesome play style is generally for experience- while partying occasionally can be useful, splitting experience constantly is rough. The general exception to his friendliness is towards PKers. The idea of killing another person is horrendous, and he avoids fighting with other players when he can. If he must, he must, however.

Character Build: Conrad decided to focus on DPS and maneuverability rather than damage and tanking. As a result, he decided to focus on raising his hand to hand skill with weaponized Gauntlets, sprinting, and reflexes. His magic abilities were chosen solely to compliment his ability to outmaneuver opponents, with no damage capabilities of their own- they did not need to be high level to serve his purposes.

• Hand to Hand : Gauntlets
• Light Armor
• Parry
• Reflexes
• Heavy Lifting
• Sprinting
• Acrobatics
• Voluntary Flight
• Illusion Magic : Prior Imagery

Personality and History

Born into relatively poor household, Abe Sanraku didn't have the easiest of lives. Days where he had nothing but plain rice for meals were common but he didn't wallow in misery. He developed street smarts and helped his parents out by working odd jobs. As a result, he picked a variety of miscellaneous skills, some of which helped him greatly. Haggling and flattery worked wonders for cutting expenses around the house. Through a stroke of luck (or bad luck), he obtained his Nerve Gear and beta key in a raffle at a gaming convention. Little did he know this would be a huge changing point in his life and marked the start of his adventures as Wink.

Wink was one of the 2,000 initial beta testers and made a name for himself as 'The Source' when he began information broking. He sold information on anything that would net him a profit; quest details, player politics and items to name a few. Though he wasn't the first broker, the vast variety of information he possessed as well as his reliability allowed him to rise to the top of Alfheim's underworld dealings.

An opportunist with a quick mind, Wink is that one guy who always ends up coming on top. Known for being calculative and a smooth talker, many consider him to be a completely business-focused person, with people saying that he would sell his own friends for yurudo though those closer to him know better. In reality, Wink is a much softer person than he seems. If it's to urgently save a life, he's willing to dispense information for free(though he prefers not to).

Character Build

Imps lacked the outright combat ability of other races but Wink had developed a unique fighting style that made most of the Imp's racial traits. By combining the various ailment and debuff effects of dark magis with guerilla warfare, Wink specializes in wearing down his opponent over time. He is a master of stealth who takes advantage of the element of surprise whenever he can. As such, even though Wink's build is focused on reconnaissance, he's more than capable of taking down his opponents. He also has the advantage of being rich, meaning possessing stronger gear than most.

Personality and History

Nakayama Akiko was the pride of Japan. First introduced to the world of music when she was eight, she quickly rose above those who had started before her. Critics and casual listeners alike were all enchanted by the emotion they felt from her songs. An unparalleled genius, she possessed both the technique and soul to make truly wondrous music.

Though she may occasionally brag and snob about her success, deep down she understands the importance of hardwork. Talent is useless unless you hone it. A hardworking genius who is never overconfident. She can be frighteningly mature at times, a trait that had to be formed to endure the harsh world of music. From a distance, she comes off as an unapproachable princess but in reality she's still a high school girl going through the same problems they all go through.

She had received a closed beta key from her fans and had tried the game out of pure curiosity, the Puca race having piqued her interest. Though it wasn't her intention, she ability with her support song magic made her a very notable player and she was greatly wanted by many of the prominent guilds. Currently, she's the favourite to win the Puca elections.

Character Build

Ariel would be what you call a specialist. Her outright combat ability is laughably low and she is incapable of wielding any weapon decently. However, her ability to support is completely overwhelming. Skill takes precedence over the stats in Alfheim Online and Ariel's skill with the violin is on the national level. It was rumoured that she was capable of halting over a hundred monsters at once with her enchanting music in the closed beta.

Character Sheet

Appearance:


Much like her real self, her avatar in Alfheim Online is cursed (or blessed) with small height. This actually isn't so bad considering she isn't a frontliner or a melee fighter who needs physical strength and a body to facilitate that. She's fast though - not Cait Sith sort of fast but a lot faster than most Salamanders.

In terms of the Salamanders, Naomi is one of the weirdest-looking. Naomi seems to be a complete outsider when compared to others of her race. Where they are bulky and tall, she is frail and small. Where they are tanned, she's as pale as an imp. Her looks are terribly deceiving, often leading to most undervalueing her. Nevertheless, she seems proud of her looks and uses them when she needs to.

Clothing wise, Naomi prefers either the look of power or the look of nothing at all. She has quite a number of high-level gear pieces which look pretty damn cool but that's only when she wants to show off. If she wants something, she'll probably use a minimalistic approach!

Name:
Naomi Kinoshita

Screenname:
Incertus

Age:
20

Race:
Salamander

History:
Parents killed in dark alleyway where she swore vengeance? Nope. Abused by her alcoholic parents before running away from home? Once again, nope! Naomi has had a rather normal childhood and life. Her father studied in America where he met Naomi's mother. For a time, they remained there but when she became pregnant with Naomi's older brother, they decided to return to Japan to raise their children.

Naomi can't say if she appreciated that decision later in life - school was a pain for the first few years as she might have well have been a foreign to the other students. Granted, it didn't help that they chose to live in rural Japan for the first few years where her brother and her stuck out like sore thumbs. Blond hair and blue eyes were apparently rare where the lived because it seemed like her brother and her were walking, talking zoos to some of the other children.

When they moved to Tokyo, things became a little easier and Naomi even found herself making some friends. Granted, they were never really the popular kids who blubbered on about fashion, boys and other deplorable things. Instead, they actually had fun and if it wasn't for that, she probably wouldn't be the quirky individual she is today.

Naomi first found Alfheim Online through a friend who couldn't stop going on about how good it looked. Naturally interested, she found herself buying the AmuSphere and luckily getting onto the closed-beta testing team. The game represented something new to her. Somewhere where she could live her life as she pleased without fear of reprisal. She was instantly hooked and pre-ordered the game as soon as she could. Whenever she got trapped in the system, she was distraught like most others but Naomi's a realist and she set about quickly gaining a foothold in her brand new world.

Strangely, she never leveled any weapons for most of her time in-game. Although it was inefficient, wasting one of her racial passives, she much preferred to use fire magic. For this reason, she's one of the strongest fire mages amongst the Salamanders and thus, one of the strongest in the game. Despite being asked to join countless military crusades and become a close advisor to the leader of the Salamanders, Naomi has always been separated from the rest of her race and prefers the live of a nomad.

Personality:
The primary point of Naomi's personality is probably her curiosity - she's an explorer at heart and she follows that out in nearly everything she does. There's not a dish that she won't try or a place she won't visit at least once. So far, her curiosity only served to get her into trouble when she was younger but her interest in the world around her has morphed into a career prospects, of sorts. Granted, she draws the line at drugs and heavier forms of alcohol - she enjoys trying things out but when things become dangerous, she backs down a little.

Naomi always has had a rather rebellious taint. She's never quite been normal or 'fitted-in' so she usually found herself befriending the weirder people in class and subsequently, she got up to weirder things that her parents probably didn't approve of. Nevertheless, any of her bigger rebellions have been stomped out whenever they arose - her parents were loving but strict in their approach. Now that she's older, she's realised that rebellion is simply a statement to her parents and due to the fact that her tuition fees are mostly paid by her parents, she's decided that it's a much better idea to keep her head down. Even though she's trapped in he game, Alfheim allows her to forgot any rules or boundaries placed on her - the VRMMO is a liberation from the bores of normal life; to Naomi, it's like a new opportunity. Even in the game she doesn't exactly follow the social trend. Unlike nearly every other member of the Salamander, Naomi refuses to take part in their silly wars and refuses to bow down to the Lord of the Salamanders.

Sometimes the barrier between brain and mouth breaks down, however, and she becomes a babbling mess of exposing secrets and offending parties that she really shouldn't offend. Naomi has come to know these as 'blonde moments'. Thankfully, most of the important secrets and facts are hidden amongst a forest of mindless chatter and filler - real professionals, like her brother, have learned to filter out the rubbish and extract the important parts. On occasion, she has been noted to have had an entire conversation with a navigation pixie.

Character Build:

Fire Magic Mastery:

Other:
If she's forced to use a weapon then she has a strong enough spear that would do the trick but she does not like falling back on that.
Doesn't have a permanent home in Alfheim - she's a nomad and makes quite a bit of money from doing dungeons and selling unwanted weapons or training others.

"Ha, they still think I'm there."

Height: 167.64 CM

Weight: 72 KG

RLN: Mark Jones

IGN: AEagaorn

Age: 15

Race: Spriggan

History: Mark didn't seem to have it made in the real world. He was no good at sports, couldn't be qualified as a nerd because he wasn't smart enough, and wasn't a geek because he didn't have any of those hobbies. He just kind of... existed. However as high school started for him he was determined to get good at something. Deciding a virtual game was just the thing he decided to play the least popular race and make a mark from there. The rest we all know...

Personality: Mark's going to win this game, and even if he doesn't, there's no way he is going to lose. He is very cautious, never going into a fight unless he knows exactly what to expect. Risks are decidedly a no-no in his book. However he is still determined to make his way out of here, no matter how long it takes. The Grand Quest will be completed, even if he has to do it by himself. Other than this he's fairly friendly with his own race, remaining exceedingly cautious of others if outside of a safe zone. Mark tends to come off as a little obsessed, however he just views himself as very knowledgably about what he does. He is more than willing to share what he knows, as long as it won't endanger him in anyway.

Character Build: Mark's build is essentially just shoot them with arrows and make sure they can't get close through potions, traps, and magic. If they do... well hope you can stab it to death before it stabs you.

Kei

Age:
21

Race:
Spriggan

History:
Kei's life was pretty mundane since the day he was born, with the exception of being born into a family that had a lot of money. While Kei was born into a rich family he never let the money spoil him. No matter what it was, he always worked for it even though he could easily obtain any material good through the money his parents gave him. He also made this very relevant in school he never let out the fact that he came from a rich family, as stated before Kei lived a very mundane life, but there was one thing he put every inch of his soul into, and that was video games.

Ever since he could remember he played games of all kinds, from the console games to online computer games. At one point in his life he transitioned from console games to solely computer games. Kei dedicated his life to video games, keeping up to date with any and all hardware as well as video game titles to ensure he would be of the many first to jump into a new game. This aspect of his life played a very pivotal role upon the release of VR technology. He at first took apart of the various simulation games they released on the VR technology but as the technology progressed the very first game was announced, Alfheim Online, along with a special piece of hardware for it. He jumped on it right away, using some of the connections he created over the previous years he was able to get his hands on said equipment as well as access to Alfheim Online's Alpha access testing.

The Alpha test was a really secretive thing as there were not even one hundred people that were allowed access to it. The downside of said Alpha test? It literally only contained all the aspects of moving and flying no combat or skills or anything of the sort. Although this was the case Kei did not complain he took the chance and mastered flight without the use of the joystick, although at first it was hell for him as he would constantly end up face planting into the ground. From there he did a bit of exploring of the game world itself as that much of the game was also built. In the week that the Alpha was out he learned a lot about the game through his own experience as well as through talking with some of the other players and occasionally a dev, but the meetings with devs were very far and few.

Using the knowledge he gained from the Alpha he jumped into the beta feet first without a single bit of hesitation. He took on the role of a Spriggan which seemed to be the minority race as everyone else during the beta test chose either Slyph or Salamander or every race but Spriggan. During the time of the beta test he used what knowledge he gained from the Alpha test and got ahead of everyone, as everyone during the beta were trying to learn the flying and movement mechanics.

It was a good time during the beta test he got to experience all sorts of things with the combat mechanics as well as skills and all of the inbetween stuff. With this he went into the final release of the game and made headway. In the one month that the game had been out he became the leader of the Spriggan race and became known as one of the top players - possibly the best - of the game because of his sheer skill and power as well as his prowess for being able to keep the Spriggan territory from being taken over. A lot of that he attributed to having prior experience compared to everyone else.

Personality:
Now while Kei has all the power of being a leader in his hands, he is not the one that abuses power, he is kind and caring and overall very easy to work with. He does not mind trying new things, no matter what it is. The same goes for challenges, he never backs down from a challenge as long as they are reasonable.

Despite his background he is rather humble even can go as far as to say he is frugal. While he has the funds to use, in both the virtual world as well as the real world, he chooses not spend carelessly. Instead he saves a lot of just in case times get tough. Not only that but he really doesn't have any reason to spend the said currency on.

One of the things that aren't obvious about Kei is his caring nature, it isn't easy to see at first but once someone gets involved with Kei on a friend level, he would not hesitate to go into a hopeless battle with said friend.

Now while he is caring, Kei is a very blunt person. He does not sugar coat things, if there is something needing to be said he says it. This really comes from his real life background. His parents never had to sugar coat or lie about a single thing so over the years Kei picked it up as well and as such he is sometimes honest or blunt to a fault.

[The Red Seelie]

An Old Geezer

"Age is irrelevant, Skill is all that matters"

An image of his spare time

Height: 167 Centimeters of Experience
Weight: 96 kg of muscle
RLN: Sakamoto Ford
IGN: Pembroke Ironforge
Age: 54 (thats right 54)
Race: Leprechaun
History: Probably the oldest beta tester, Sakamoto is a avid fan of games and when it came to VR and what he saw would revolutionize the youth he knew he had to get on board the beta testing, This garnered him odd looks from his nephew but Sakamoto didn't care. He was a old man whom refused to act his age, hence his muscular build. (which is also due to the fact he works as a iron worker) Never the less his race of choosing in Alfheim was something that was more of a backseat, perhaps it was because he didn't want the younger players to have a old man running around in their party, who knows. but Sakamotos Skill as a Smith is undisputed.

Personality: Pembroke is a No nonsense fellow who knows how to work the economy, his age grants him the experience needed to lead, and lead he shall. His skills are a prime defining factor of what a Leprechaun is capable of, as such it is hard to impress him, further more his age has made him a little impatient, preferring conversations to be quick and to the point, because as to quote him "I don't have time to waste". This is due to his greatest fear of getting to the age where he can't pretend to be young anymore. When it comes to Alfheim onlines economy, he can be a very convincing barterer always getting items at a cheaper price then other people.
However his personality has a few issue's. For instance if your a player killer seeking mercy from him... don't bother or else you will be executed or imprisoned indigently without remorse because in Pembrokes eyes, The only way to deal with those people is to remove them from society.

Mechanical Raven

A device that can be used to send your voice messages (comes with a repeat function) good for advertising and addressing large crowds in your absence. It has a low health bar however so it may easily be destroyed by enemy's... so it has niche usage

Other: He doesn't like the flying part of Alfheim online.

[GrandzHelios]

Kashin

Height:1.778 Meters

Weight: 68.038 Kg

RLN: Jin Takashi

IGN: Kashin

Age: 18

Race: Sylph

History: A Typical High School senior living on his own in Tokyo.

Personality: Kashin fits the stereo-type of being a nice person but far too cool to show it. For some odd reason he has taken upon himself the liberty of acting as a big brother or mentor to the weaker players while he is not above cutting down the stronger players for loot . On the surface he is known by other races as a cold-blooded killer who will hunt others for their gold. In truth he would never follow through with his threats to kill a player and he uses his rouse to scare enemies into giving up their gold before his cuts them to bits.
Other than his hidden personality he is not a social person. He usually walks around with a scowl on his face unless he is engaged with the attention with one of his friends. This causes him to seem somewhat heartless but in reality he has a low attention span. He gets bored easily and finds it difficult to focus on one thing long enough to get excited about it unless it is important. The static look he always carries around is great evidence that he will not go out of his way to find something exciting to him.

In battle his static expression changes from a bored look to almost sociopaths in nature. There is almost no emotion as performs his spells or swings his blade. That last fact only holds true for ground fights. Kashin does enjoy flying and fighting in the is the only time where he can almost be considered happy by others.
