Kalthios

Only slightly deterred, Kalthios would close his menu. "Alright, understood... Arigato. Sayonara." He would then sheath his sword in his back sheath, pivot on his heel, and walk away in search of another boar or two.

Kal would take a moment to file all that info away in his mind, before looking up. "Hey, wait a sec! Look, you saved my life, then helped me out alot. I can't thank you enough for that. So, I understand if you don't accept, but... if you ever need anything, just give me a shout, ok?" He would then quickly pop open his menu, and send Shizuki a friend request.

Once again charging at the dying boar, Kalthios jumps slightly closer to the boar this time. Holding his sword before him, he dives towards the boar, skewering the beast on his sword. As his sword makes contact, the beast dissolves into crystalline shards, which he proceeds to roll through, popping back to his feet. Dusting off his pants, he walks toward Shizuki. "Well. I didn't do too bad, huh?"

After hearing the tinkling, crashing sound of another monster turning to crystals under Shizuki's blade, Kalthios once more charges at the boar. However, this time, he goes over it, and does a midair summersault, blade in hand. This causes the boars back to split open leaving a brutal red gash down its spine. "Yeah! Get some!" As he lands, he settles in a low crouch, before looking towards Shizuki. "This one is mine. Chill for a bit."

His exuberance overcoming his patience, Kalthios would draw his sword from its back sheath and full-on sprint to the boar. Returning to a favored tactic, he would hold out his sword arm, and pass it on the right, aiming for the beasts flank. However, as he was about to make contact, the beast turned, slashing his arm with its tusks.

Chuckling for a moment, he would merely reply with "Sarcasm" before charging full-tilt towards the boar... and taking a sharp tusk to the leg for his troubles. In the moment after, the boar looks positively excited, despite monsters not being able to show emotion.

Kalthios: 6/7

Shizuki: 14/17

Boar 1: 5/5

Boar 2: 5/5

Kalthios grins a moment, before tossing his sword up in a wide arc. He tries to catch it, but fumbles miserably, the blade stabbing its self into the dirt only inches from his foot. Sheepishly pulling it out of the ground, Kalthios begins to walk towards the pair of boar. "Alright, you take the larger one, I'll take the ugly one?"

Kalthios would meekly gulp in reply, spotting a pair of boar a fair distance away. "Do we want to try to take them, or should we stick to single ones for now?" He idley begins gripping and un-gripping the handle of the sword, obviously itching to take a swing at something.

Kalthios would take a few steps back, allowing the girl a clear shot at the boar."We can run this however you deem the best way to. Go for it." He would settle back into a more watchful pose, sheathing his sword across his back.

Kalthios: 7/7

Shizuki: 17/17

Boar: 5/5

Eyes flicking down towards the pop-up, Kalthios would only hesitate a moment before tapping the "Accept" button. Opening his inventory, he would momentarily equip the health potion, before drinking it. "Alright, much better... Now, let's get on with the hunting, shall we?" He would walk four or five steps, before halting and pivoting. "By the way... thanks. Without you back there, I'd probably be dead. So... yea. Thanks. I owe you." He would then turn and, eyeing another lone boar, walk off in that direction.

Kalthios would stand up slowly, warily eying the newcomer. "Sure, I'll hang on to it... Not to look a gift horse in the mouth though, but... why did you help me?" He would quickly file the col and eye of ferocity into his inventory, before closing his menu and facing back towards the newcomer.

Kalthios would rise to his feet, sending a quick, inquisitive glance towards the newcomer, before dismissing it temporarily and focusing on the task at hand. Sending the newcomer a quick, cocky grin, he would full-on sprint towards the boar, jumping off the ground mid-run. He would slam his sword straight down into the... earth. Somehow, the boar had moved as it was about to be hit, and turned enough to deliver a sharp slash to the back of Kalthios' legs. Now watching his health bar get dangerously near 0, Kalthios would roll to his feet and hope the newcomer would help him out one more time... or several.

Kalthios 1/5

Board 4/5

Reflexively slapping a hand down on his 'bleeding' wound, he quickly sets back up for another attack. He faintly mutters to himself "Ok, Kal, keep it simple...". As the boar begins to charge again, he also charges the boar, once again passing it on his right side, holding his sword at an angle to deliver a similar slash to earlier. This time, however, it appears the boar has learned. It alters course slightly, catching the Kalthios' leg with one of its tusks. Kalthios, however, falls forward, but catching himself with a quick forward roll. Jumping back to his feet, Kalthios would nervously eye his health bar.

Kalthios 2/5

Boar 4/5

The victorious grin from the last attack fading, Kalthios would roll his shoulders slightly, prepping himself for something fancy. He would remain still, holding his sword at an angle reminiscent of a bullfighter holding a cape. As the boar charges toward him, he twirls briefly to the opposite side, delivering a slash towards the boar. As he spins, however, the boar changes its angle just enough that one of its tusks catches his outstretched arm, knocking it off course and leaving a bright red slash on his arm.

Kalthios 3/5

Boar 4/5

Grumbling to himself slightly, Kalthios would rise back to his feet, lowering his stance slightly. He would once again sprint towards the boar, but this time would attempt to pass it on his right, holding his sword out in his left hand. This time, however, his move works exactly as planned. As he passes the boar, a long, thin slash opens along the boars flank. As he comes out of the semi-crouch he had put himself in for the move, Kalthios lets a quick grin flash across his face.

Boar 4/5

Seeing no one else in the vicinity, Kalthios would draw his sword, pick up the pace, and run towards the boar. As he entered a certain distance from it, the boar automatically turned to attack him. As the boar would have hit him, Kalthios would jump over the boar, sword held out below him. However, mistiming his jump, the boar would catch the edge of his foot, tipping his foot slightly. As he tries to stand, he notices a small red pixelated slash on his foot.

Kalthios 4/5

Boar 5/5

As Kalthios walked out of the high, gated walls of the Town of Beginnings, he looked around the mostly flat, grassy plain that he found himself in. To his left, he saw a group of players taking down 4 or 5 boars, while to his right he saw a lone boar that had somehow escaped the groups notice. He looked around a moment, searching for another player that seemed to be interested in it, before approaching it slowly.

Kalthios takes a wary half-step back. "You need experience teaching? Well, I need to be taught... but why should I trust you?" He then casts another quick glance around the area, admiring the architecture, before studying the man a moment. "A random stranger who conveniently shows up when I need teaching? Sounds a little too... Convenient in my mind."

As Kalthios closed the last of the options screens, he finally took a moment to look around. The Town of Beginnings was an architectual wonder, aswell as an outstanding demonstration of the game's graphics power. As Kalthios wandered through the city streets, he eventually came upon a small marketplace. Before he could initiate a conversation with one of the shopkeeper NPC's, a small dialog box popped up. "If you open your inventory, you will find your starting weapon and armor. You may access your options menu to turn off these tutorials." Kalthios quickly closed the box, swiped open his settings, and disabled the provided tutorials. However, he did open his menu and equip the two items: A padded leather jerkin, and an Iron One-Handed Sword. Drawing the weapon he swung it a few times, getting a feel for it. He quickly sheathed the weapon again, passing through the market.

Two words that anyone who watched subbed instead of dubbed will instantly understand the reference, which is also the one scene that had me actually upset.

Arigato... Sayonara.

Hey everyone.

I'd love to tell you there's some amazing feature, some outstanding trait about me. But nah. I'm just your run of the mill gamer, sci-fi/fantasy bookworm, anime enthusiast... and eater of ALL the donuts! But, anyway, yeah. I got into SAO a few months ago and after weeks of (frustratingly fruitless) searching for a true SAO RP Minecraft server, I turned to forum RP. I'm excited to see where all this goes for me.

Now, a bit about... well, both me and my character. To quote our favorite Black Swordman (albiet while in ALFheim Online) "The player and the character are the same." My characters often react how I would... well, how I'd like to, anyway.

Anyway, once my journal is approved, I'll be happy to rp with any of you, and look forward to it.

Kal Denneker

 

 

Profile

» Username: Kalthios

» Real name: Jerry Denneker

» Age: 17

» Gender: Male

» Height: 6'0

 

» About: History/personality

Kal Denneker was, from a young age, a very quiet person. Even as a child, he was more likely to be found with a book or portable game console in hand, rather than with friends. As he got older, the gap between him and everyone else, his parents included, widened. By the time he was 15, the only real contact he had beyond the enforced contact at school was with his two friends, both named Mike, which he referred to as M&M when they were together. As the three aged, they grew less interested in the real world, and more so in the virtual worlds of MMORPGs. Upon the announcement of the NerveGear, the three boys made it a point to pre-order months in advance. Naturally, on the arrival of opening day, the boys stood next to each other in line. As luck would have it, due to his being slightly in front of the other two, Kal managed to get the last Nervegear and copy of SAO the store had in stock, though he promised his friends he would allow them time to play on his console.

 

» Virtues:

Loyal. In any given situation, Kal will defend those he cares for or cares about, regardless of personal consequences. If push came to shove, and a friend was in danger, Kal would gladly do whatever it took to keep them from harm.

 

Determined. Kal, once he has it in his mind that a task needs to be completed, or that he's in the right, will stop at nothing to see it through. If an opponent had him down to his last scraps of hp, Kal would relentlessly hunt them down until one of them was crystalline shards.

 

Quick Talker. Kal has, out of necessity within games, developed a knack for talking himself and those around him out of a situation which could be compromising, if not dealt with properly. His skill for witty remarks, tension-defusing jokes, and the like have helped him in more than one scenario.

 

» Flaws:

Fierce/Reckless. With his loyalty, Kal tends to go a bit overboard. He will heedlessly rush in if someone he cares for or about is in danger, whatever the risk to himself. Also, if someone hurt one of his friends, Kal would relentlessly hunt them down, regarding a wound to a friend as a wound to himself.

 

Stubborn. I.e. Determined above, taken to an extreme. If he says the mountain needs to be moved, he will somehow move the mountain. Or, at the very least, he'll be sitting there with broken arms and a shovel after failing. His need to finish a task, once started, has gotten him into trouble more than once.

 

Smart Ass. His knack for talking himself out of situations was usually created by him talking himself into them. Sarcastic, biting remarks and smart-ass retorts have had him at the end of more than one blade. Also, his habit of 'rubbing people the wrong way' with his humor has caused him to view anyone he doesn't know as fair game for his remarks.

 

Procrastinator. Kal will, once he decides it's worth it, try his damnedest to move the immovable object... on his own time, and if it's worth the effort. Even then, it might take awhile. If he saw a group of individuals fighting, regardless of whether he agreed with any of them, he'd just sit and watch until something of relevance came up. For example, if a friend was involved.
