>
>**Real Name:**
>The Guardian, being whom he is, he has never found the need to enlighten others as to whom he actually is, even if it's something mundane like a simple name. Of course, things change with the seasons, but once again, that requires quite the considerable effort.
>
>**Character Name:**
>*The Guardian*
>
>**Age:**
>Whilst he doesn't speak of his own age, he does look like he's in his very early twenties, maybe even late teens. Although his age doesn't really fit the persona which he emits, he has always been an outsider to society because of this.
>
>**Gender:**
>Male.
>
>**Appearance:**
>What lies beneath the mysteriously righteous armor of which the Guardian carries is unknown to all people whom currently walk the world of Aincrad. No one has come across a time, nor situation where the fact had arisen, and the chances of ever seeing him outside of his armor are remarkably slim, but certain things are quite clear. The tall figure of the Guardian indicates that its bearers is also quite tall, around the 6'4 area, bigger or smaller. The armour itself is also quite slim, even for being such a heavy and powerful armour set, it doesn't fulfill the form of a person who'd be adequetly muscular for the armour itself.
>
>Whilst these are simple facts, facts of the most basic kind, the only other thing to be known is that the mans eye color is a dominating red.
>
>**Beta-Tester?:**
>Surprisingly, no.
>
>**Personality:**
>The Guardian is as many describe him, mysterious, and silent. The mans personality never really got further than the robes which cover him. Whilst beneath the heavy plate armour whom some simply yearn to hold in their own hands, there lies a cold persona, one which has stained itself with countless lives and countless misdeeds. But for people to realize the purpose of these deeds is quite questionable.
>
>The Guardian has become more of a myth, a legend spoken from people whom have witnessed him, and no one else. He is no one you could truly walk up to and greet, he is no individual whom you'd be able to have a calm conversation with, for the fact that he is a red player, although purpose unknown, this simple fact is fundamental.
>
>Many have thought that the Guardian was simply a myth within the game, however, that would be until they'd either come in contact directly, or someone trustworthy tells them otherwise. The dark robe which plagues the holy armor of which he carries, just as holy as his word, if he'd speak them.
>
>Therefore, easily enough, the Guardian is a man of few words, but takes even more action. He feels himself responsible for guarding the secret exploits within the game, and through this, he desires to keep secrets, which should not be kept in 'mortal' hands, safe. Therefore he roams, is hunted, and kills those whom are unworthy of the lost knowledge.
>
>The fact that he's well known has made him into the centermost target for countless anti-red player groups and the central figure in this pursuit are the Grey where the Guardian has become a very important target.
>
>**Brief Real Life Background:**
>Whilst he doesn't speak much himself, nor does he engage in unnecessary conversation with anyone, should the moment arise however, for someone to somehow manage to get on the favorable side of this pseudo-mythical player, they'd learn of a life which wasn't worth much to anyone. The Guardian, always reluctant to speak his name, lived a life of a normal man at birth. Born to a family of four, two sisters, a father, and a mother. It was an ideal family, he would help his sisters, and they'd always marvel at how their younger brother would be capable of such hard equations, or capable of solving such complex situations.
>
>He felt at home during his life, 16 years and of his life had passed and no noticable flaw or problem had arisen in the family he held, or in the love he felt for his family. Unafraid of consequences, whenever a person in his class would occasionally bully him for doing ''too well'' in his tests, or when he spent too much time with the teachers. Whenever such actions took place he held no reluctance to run for a more authoritarian figure within his vicinity, so that the quarrels would be solved quickly and with ease.
>
>This was an easy life of an ordinary teenager, nothing changed until he turned 19, that was when his world collapsed. Whilst details will not be drawn, he fell into deep depression, he did this, and that, and ultimately ended up locked up in his room. After a week had gone past, and his guiltful starvation had reached its prime, he came across SAO. He read and he read, being unlucky as he was, he was completely unable to recieve a BETA invite, but that stopped him in no way, he surfed the web, read, learned, studied, and calculated his way through the information at his hand about this wonderful new world.
>
>He felt that his ability to start anew would commence, and through the final allowance he'd ever recieve he bought a NERVE Gear, now being beyond the ability to buy the game itself, he went on the other route, through trial and error he had learned the ways of coding and accessing downloads due to his shut-in incident, he was now completely able to pirate the game itself, and through this, his world would change, and his name, role, and purpose would be dramatically altered, for his name is now The Guardian, named after those he couldn't protect.
>
>**3 Main Skills:**
>- Two handed Swords.
>- Mythic Heavy Armor Equipment. (An upgrade of Heavy Armor Equipment)
>- Increased Strenght.
>
>**Special Skill?:**
> The Capables Punishment:
> This skill places an emphasis on power and strenght, if it would be activated then the strenght and endurance would be increased exponentially, however the greatest flaw, aside from its time limit of one minute, is that it consumes health from the player himself, based on how much power or endurance is desired, then a suitable deposite of health will be taken ever two seconds during the abilities activation. Either he ends the battle quickly or he stands helpless against the opponent as he, literally, kills himself. This ability cannot be disengaged personally, either the battle ends, or the activation timer of one minute runs out.
>
>**Other Skills:**
>- Meditation
>- Parry.
>- Searching.
