History/personality

New to Japan, David hails from the United states. He is at first glance a soft spoken giant of a man. His short dirty blonde hair is neatly combed, and his goatee is well policed for overlong or kinky bits. Having no real prospects in the states and a bachelor's degree in English Literature David bit at the first opportunity to move abroad, and took a teaching position for a Japanese school. Introduced to the largely unknown phenomenon in the states of VRMMO gaming by one of his new students (Hiro) David quickly became enraptured by the intense full sensory experience. Alienated by his peers at work, and being a foreigner in a rather hostile place David found himself slowly drifting away from attempting real world social interactions instead favoring the constant and friendly communities he had become a part of through use of his Nerve gear.

A few months down the road Hiro surprised David after class with a gift. A early access copy of the much hyped title "Sword art Online". David had been following the news releases regarding the world, but sadly had not been fortunate enough to be selected for the beta. This was perfect timing in his mind as his regular games were beginning to grow a bit stale for him. In preparation for this new adventure David took a leave of absence from work for a week, and installed the software onto his Nerve gear. Donning the helmet and linking up to the server on the day of it's launch the young man had no idea that this would be the last time he saw the real world for quite a long time....if at all.

Virtues:

    Inspired: David doesn't talk about his interests much, but when he does it is with great passion. He has the uncanny ability to make even the dullest subjects seem quite enthralling indeed. This trait has helped him keep many dozing students wide awake during his lectures. When speaking of his passions is not appropriate he has been known to draft a poem or essay depicting the source of his inspiration.

    Stoic: Not much rattles David. He has never allowed the taunting of others, or misfortune to bring down his naturally cheerful mood. This trait is more than just mental however as he discovered during his brief stint boxing as a teenager. A round or two of being pummeled didn't have much effect on his smile, however it has been debated that a brain cell or two was killed off during the experience.

    School of life: David is an intelligent man today, but that was not always the case. While he has always had a great capacity to learn economic, and familial issues while growing up prevented him from easily obtaining his education. While most of his fellow graduates have little more than their transcripts to put on their resumes David has the benefit of nearly ten years of work experience in all manner of fields. He has been a carpenter, a plumber's assistant, an electrician's assistant, a cook, a janitor, and one desperate summer a medical test subject.

 

 

Flaws:

    Overly generous: David will quite literally give someone the shirt off of his back if he determines they need it. This has the tendency to leave him without many things that he needs, and has more than once left his stomach growling at the end of the day. While some might consider this a Virtue the truth is far less glamorous. Without thinking about such things logically David will probably end up leaving this world quite poor indeed.

    Reckless: David often rushes head first into danger when good sense would dictate that he would flee. He cannot let someone in need go without help, and to that end is willing to sacrifice life and limb to be of help. More often than not however when this trait rears it's head David is often left nursing injuries for weeks.

    Claustrophobia: David has never exactly been a small guy, and after a traumatic experience of being trapped inside a packed broken down elevator as a child he has never much cared for the idea of cramming his mammoth frame into tight places. While normally he would rush into danger without thinking small spaces do give him pause, and he would find it quite hard indeed to place himself into any tight spot without a clearly marked way to escape.
