                                                                                                  Recolor of the Male Protagonist from the mobile game SAO Integral Factor 

Username: Ronin

Real Name: Riley Yan

Age: 17

Height: 5'7"

 

Background:

Riley was born in Los Angeles, California and was the typical Chinese kid. He was the top in his elementary class and had many friends, most of which he had developed through similar interests and were mostly a year younger than him. Everything changed in 6th grade when he entered middle school. His younger friends were still in elementary, and he had no idea how to make friends. With the population of students being a combination from 6 different elementary schools, no one recognized him as the top of his class anymore. Riley grew depressed and antisocial, and turned to video games as an escape from his reality. 

Riley was very prideful because of his status in elementary, which kept him from seeking new opportunities in fear of embarrassment. He switched school districts after graduating from middle school, trying to spare himself the embarrassment of another 4 years of having no friends. He was determined to make a fresh start. Riley eventually recognized his issue with pride and began to seek remedy for it, accepting new opportunities and trying not to feel so embarrassed. However, he quickly realized that much of the students from his generation were just as selfish as he was, and felt betrayed for trying to turn over a new leaf. By the end of junior year, Riley was a very avid gamer and heard about Sword Art Online, a game that was literally an escape from reality. He convinced his family to move to Tokyo, and camped out overnight in front of the store that would sell him his copy of SAO the next morning. 

 

Virtues:

Focused - Ronin is very task-oriented, he sets goals and becomes very dedicated to completing them quickly and efficiently. He always tries his best and doesn’t give up easily. If he doesn’t know his next goal is, he will obsess over figuring out what to do next.

Warm-hearted - He would never hurt anyone, and would rush to protect others in danger. He can't stand to see others in pain if he can do something about it, because he doesn't want anyone to be hurt like he was in his past. He’s not very good at helping with emotional pain, which is why he avoids helping in those situations.

Talented - He is multilingual, he learned Cantonese as a child, took the AP Spanish exam his junior year, and quickly studied Japanese before he moved to Tokyo. He is athletic because he was on his high school’s Track & Field team. He also learned to play the piano and guitar.

 

Flaws:

Acting before thinking - Ronin being task-oriented is also a flaw, he tunnel visions on his goal and is very impatient. He rushes at his goals too quickly and believes that if the problem is more complicated than it seems, more thought can be put into it after he gets stuck. He prefers to get to his goal as quickly as humanly possible.

Anti-social - Aside from protecting others physically, he has no care for them. If put into a team, he will begin completing tasks by himself as if they don't exist, but is okay with people helping. He is anti-social, and tries his best to isolate himself from others. 

Lack of imagination - Ronin is not very creative, he tries to find algorithms to solve his problem so that he can use the algorithm repeatedly. For example, in previous games, he would find a decent combo and use it over and over again, regardless of the situation. This makes it hard for him to improve because he wants his problems to have simple solutions

Ronin Vs. The World - He wants to be the best, and does not like it when other people appear to be better than him. He dislikes people who don’t work as hard as he does. He also hates taking orders.
