Akihiko Sato was the first born child of Itsuo Sato, an accomplished Japanese businessman, and Adelene Roux Sato, a reknowned French surgeon. He was soon followed by his only sibling, a sister named <REDACTED>. He and his sister were close, she was only a couple years younger than him, and they grew up together. They lived most of their lives in Tokyo, but they often spent their school breaks exploring either the Japanese or French countryside.

Throughout his schooling, Sato excelled in creative fields, but not in any traditional classes. This disappointed his parents, but they continued to love and support him, pushing himself to further his classical education and sharpen his "practical skills" - or at least that's what they called them. He tried, but he couldn't keep up with the other students, and so shifted his focus to the classes he enjoyed more. Before long, he found himself taking creative writing, painting, and even pottery classes in lieu of traditional curriculum classes.

He wasn't popular in school, and often got into fights; often he was defended kids from bullies, but he would rather take the punishment for fighting than rat anyone out. This made him a tough kid, and that along with his loner status meant rumors about him in school were rampant.

His sister, <REDACTED>, was their parents joy, though. She was smart and driven, excelling at her classwork. They were proud of her, and Sato was too.

When they heard about a new game coming to the NerveGear, they just had to get their hands on it. Because of their parents connections, it wasn't difficult to get a copy or two. Sato was supposed to be in trouble for his struggling grades again when Launch day arrived, but <REDACTED> convinced them to let them both receive the game. What was she going to do without her big brother? she had asked. They eventually caved

When the time arrived to play, they had both trampled over each other up the stairs to get to their systems, a race to see who could log on first. Sato lost sight of his sister as he bolted into his own room, slamming the door behind him. He crammed on his NerveGear.

"Link Start!"

Virtues:

Protective. Though he is somewhat a loner, Sato is a dedicated older brother, and that has provided him with certain instincts. He would much rather experience unpleasantness or pain that have that burden fall on someone else. He also cannot stand bullies, and by extension, he has a huge problem with extortionists and PKers in SAO.

Happy-go-lucky. Sato has a tendency to not concern himself much with the future. When it comes to SAO, he understands the situation they are in, and he grasps the very real and serious stakes, but he will not allow that to stop him from having fun when he can. He must remain upbeat and unconcerned for the most part or it could damage him. He has realized this and tried to balance his nonchalant attitude and the seriousness the game of death commands.

Adventurous. Sato is constantly looking for new adventure, that is what got him into this mess in the first place. But he is brazen and self-confident and never backs down from a challenge. His willingness to try new things and take risks can either have profitable rewards or disastrous results.

Flaws:

Aloof. Sato, even though he is protective and shows warmth when you get to know him, can come off as cold and distant. He is shy and not forthcoming when first meeting new people, which can cause making friends difficult and awkward. In a game where cooperation is essential for survival, his perceived standoffish attitude can be quite inhibiting.

Dim. Sato isn't stupid, but he certainly isn't particularly intelligent either. He can thrive with simple and clear goals, but complicated instruction has a tendency to elude him. This makes for poor strategy in SAO, he faces every problem head on, without much thought.

Hot-headed. Sato is quick tempered, making decisions and acting before thinking. This rash behavior can be seen as recklessness, and is frowned upon by those more calm and collected. This character deficiency is one he is aware of, and he does his best to keep it in check.

Yo! Anyone who reads this, I left Sato's sister as open as possible in case anyone wanted to play her. He doesn't know if she's in the game, and if she is, if she's alive. If you want to play her, hit me up.

 

Edit: Oops, wrong account. I blame the beer. Hit me up on either account.
