Zero

Siren raised an eyebrow and looked at Ruby. "Demonstration? What sort of demonstration do you have in mind?" She crosses her arms and grins curious as to what the girl meant.

"Ah well here's my hint. Ignis the Mad uses rocket powered arrows, you'll find him by the tallest pine tree. He'll appear to look like a stone dragon statue and will only awaken once you call his name." The figure holds his lantern up pointing behind them. "That way is the path you need to take. Though be wary Ignis the Mad will be strong and other monsters guard the way as well." He warned as he turned around and began to walk away.

A hooded figure chuckled as he held a latern in one hand and a cane in the other. "Hello young ladies." He approached the two and smiled."Now you two it is time for your quest hint. You are competing for the prize correct? If so answer quickly, time is short and I have places to be." He placed the cane in front of his feet and cracked a wide grin, which evidently was the only visible thing within the dark void formed by the good.

"Aye, I am here to give you a clue. Ignis the Mad uses rocket powered arrows, you'll find him by the tallest pine tree. He'll appear to look like a stone dragon statue and will only awaken once you call his name." The figure holds his lantern up pointing behind them. "That way is the path you need to take. Though be wary Ignis the Mad will be strong." He warned as he turned around and began to walk away.

"Ah what a site, how romantic and sweet. I could almost burst from the joy." A hooded figure chuckled as he held a latern in one hand and a cane in the other. "Now you two buck up, it is time for your hint. You are competing for the prize correct? If so answer quickly, time is short and I have places to be." He placed the cane in front of his feet and cracked a wide grin, which evidently was the only visible thing within the dark void formed by the good.

Siren giggled when she heard Ruby's threat and unsheathed her sword. "No need to worry I sinply want to know if I may tag along?" She impales her sword in the ground and raises her hands. "I only have one sword and you can check me if you like."

Siren walked through the grassy fields as she spotted the two girls and overheard their conversation. She smiled slightly walking toward them and gave them a half wave. "Mind if I tag along, seems like you two are part of the few who know how to actually use your weapons." She looked at Ruby in the eyes, their height difference was a matter of inches, then at Lime. "I'm pretty good myself, had to learn how to protect myself in real life and all that."

Profile

» Username: Siren

» Real name: Elizabeth Jericho

» Age: 19

» Gender: Female

» Height: 6'3"

» About:

- History: Siren dedicated herself to studying in order to make something of herself rarely giving most people attention, though she always tried to give what little spare time she had to her brother who was too immersed in games and computers. She quickly graduated and began her studies on computer programming. Soon after she saw the announcement of Sword Art and her brothers interest in it she herself became attracted to it saving up money just so she could spend a little time with the only person she cared about.

- Personality: Much like Zero she's quiet and attentive. She is capable of socializing fairly well and enjoys using her charisma to control others. She'll rarely become involved in a battle that doesn't involve her unless she believes she has to or that her beliefs obligate her. Siren always shadows her younger brother trying to help him, but when she doesn't she's working hard to make herself better.

» Virtues:

- Affectionate: If she cares about a person she will take care of them and help them no matter what.

- Patient: Her ability to wait is one of the things she's most proud of, capable of resisting almost any urge or impulse.

- Observing: She will analyze all aspects and situations as much as she is capable of.

» Flaws:

- Obsessive: If she becomes attached to someone, other than her brother, it becomes a tie that she'll die or kill in other to maintain it.

- Merciless: Siren doesn't shy away or become sick from the screams or pain of others and instead of looking away from her opponents she stares them right in their eyes often frightening others she might run on them.

- Disturbed: Much like her younger brother she has certain memories locked away which sometimes escape and push her into a state of mental breakdown or leave her frozen in her tracks.

Story Thus Far

» Not long after joining Sword Art and letting her brother be for a while Siren encountered a player who intrigued her. Wanting to see how strong she would become alongside this player and her other partners she joined up with them. Now trying to become stronger and get better gear she participates in quests that offer rewards in terms of weapons and such.

Heathcliff without a doubt

Thought it would be a good idea to drop another track for you virtual ladies and gentlemen. If you have or will give my OC's profile a look you'll see he's tormented and can become rather cold/merciless, so I picked this song called Monster by Skillet to sort of represent what happens to Zero. Oh and as a warning on my part try not to make him snap, if he does leave be for a while and you SHOULD be fine.

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u9NStVkSCuk

What Shark said. Any contributions would be appreciated.

Hey New Years represents new beginning, like Easter, so a fun event shouldn't be too difficult. I actually have been thinking about a New Years event lately.

P.S. Another reason for this is that one of these songs could help someone in their creative process.

So I've been trying to think of where to put this and decided this was the right place. Now to explain what this thread is about, you see whenever I'm writing an RP post I tend to listen to music that helps me come up with what I want to write and I thought that it would be interesting if the whole community posted here different songs, tracks, you get my point, that you would use as background themes for your character, certain types of scenarios, etc. Here I'll start off with a general theme that I use to represent my character it's called Player One by Machinae Supremacy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BugffvmGAFI&noredirect=1

Now you can't say that. earlier in this topic Crim posted everything that was being worked on and the progress it was at.

Shark I'm partially blind, so I'll miss things sometimes. XD But yeah I saw the rest of the things, though it still seems like it isn't officially finished since no one has made a guild yet, or can we make one already?

Ah okay, I hadn't seen that.

Don't forget quests and guilds Shark.

Yeah and how he simply leaves him with the entire blueprint of his system so people could make their own worlds and work together also showed that as well.

I'm so happy I'm not the only one who thinks like that!!! I found it really great on the choice Heathcliff made that saved the 300 SAO/ALO victims.

Yeah that was simply amazing!

Agreed. I love it when people are humble with their losses. Heathcliff shows it well. :D I'm happy im not alone. In my opinion, he is not just the main antagonist, but also a sub- protagonist because of episode 24 with Oberon/ Sughu.

Yes, exactly. Not many might notice that fact, also when you compare him to Sughu you can tell just how much more human he was considering Sughu wanted to use his system for more sinister purposes. Also how he left the fate of his dreams in the hands of Kirito shows how sure he was that Kirito would make the right decision as the 'hero'.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO60ahwc8FI

I'll follow up on that Metal Crossing Fields with an English cover of it.

I'm going to be the odd ball and say Heathcliff/ Kayaba Akihiko not because he created the death game but because he fought leading the players and if he didn't talk to Kirito during the battle with Sugou, then the outcome might have been very different.

Agreed. Also the fact he accepts defeat in a very professional manner just made him seem more admirable in my opinion.

Profile

» Username: Zero

» Real name: Prometheus Jericho

» Age: (Beginning) 17 (Current) 19

» Gender: Male

» Height: 5'10"

» About:

- History: Born the second child to a Japanese-American computer engineering professor for a mother and an English-German sculptor and software programmer for a father, who had bought share's in various technology and game based companies, Zero's life was to be one filled with many luxuries and enjoyments. This life however was short lived, his parents perishing and his body becoming paralyzed from the waist below after an unfortunate car accident, Zero's future spiraled downward as he became engulfed by a sense of self-loath and guilt of being a burden to his older sister. He surrounded himself with the monitors, consoles, and other systems he'd been gifted and belonged to his parents trying to hide his inability to walk by doing most activities virtually.

Several years after his accident Zero's world revolved around games, from single player first person shooters to MMORPG's, eliminating what little contact he held with the outside world. His sister attempted to help him move out into the world only to fail repeatedly, he couldn't cope with others, specially since most did not want to slow their pace to match his, leaving him more in the dark than before. It wasn't until some time later that his sister mentioned her business with a company developing a new way of playing games that he began to open up, it was very little but it was progress, and learned about the Nerve Gear. His sister promised him one as a present and that she herself was getting one so they could spend time together doing what he loved.

- Personality:

Zero's personality has changed over the course of time, though somethings remain the same. He is still somewhat quiet and attentive to certain things. His anti-social tendencies have become less, though he often still goes solo he does not mind joining up with some. He still observes battles and/or enemies before going in. He's now driven and determined to accomplish his goals, and still tries to maintain a cool headed approach on things, trying to remain calm even in the most desperate of situations. He's rational towards most things, no longer worrying about losing himself, and considerate of those who follow him. He will rarely share too much about himself, specially regarding the real world, afraid he might give away information that make him seem weak, such as his paralysis in the real world.

Appearance:

Normal:

 

Under Cross Syndrome:

» Virtues:

- Analytic: Zero always makes sure to review what is in his enviroments, whether it is people, animals or objects. He makes sure to be aware of what is occuring around him and maintains himself informed of any changes, whather big or small.

- Proper: He holds a high regard for etiquette and courtesy when he is calm. If he adresses someone, it will usually be in a respectful manner even if he is treated rudely. On some occasions he may even use terms such as 'madam' or 'milady', he was told this is due to him being born a few centuries too late.

- Loyal: To those who manage to become close to Zero, he will be considerate. He holds them above himself, though not above his goals, and will attempt to help them if they deserve it, so much so that he will purposely endanger himself for their sake. He does this due to his firm believe in showing loyalty to earn loyalty.

» Flaws:

- Self-loathing: Though he holds the values of others highly, Zero lacks any care fo self-worth. A self-inflicted hatred that does not cease burns within him and on many occassions drives him to lower himself in front of others.

- Shy: He can be withdrawn or shy on occassions, specially with the opposite gender. If he has a thought that occurs to him, he'll most likely keep it to himself feeling it is not his place to speak his mind out.

- Disturbed: Zero developed a volatile and violent personality in the back of his mind. The product of his misfortunes his disturbed side is a destructive force that will do as it wishes. He nicknamed it Jäger and can hear its thoughts pierce his mind every once in a while.

Story Thus Far

» Zero has adapted to his life in SAO, quickly finding himself among the frontliners and in the guild of a player he befriended, Shark. After spending some time trekking through SAO on his own mostly, even though he remained with Shark's Knight of Christ guild, he decided to retire from the frontlines. He spent some time going from floor to floor, doing as he pleased until he encountered Santouryuu the NPC and defeated him, earning Zero the Unique Skill Darkness Blade. Not long after Zero encountered the entity known as Vile, who beat Zero close to death and tossed him aside once he was done. After this encounter the fractures in Zero's mind from his childhood reappeared and were ready to break him apart.

Though it had been held together by the likes of Sinon and others, and he had returned to the frontlines in an attempt to get back to his former self Zero found the adjustment difficult. He soon left the frontlines, developed a friendship with a frontliner called Mari, and returned to his routine of self-indulgence. After certain events transpired and the feelings of Zero's heart were denied he became broken, but this time it was more extensive and had thrown him into a void of darkness. He is now roaming Aincrad as a threat to any who step in the way of his path, possibly even those few he cares for. Encountering new individuals as time passed, Zero's path began to shape into a new direction centered around an idea. An idea called power.
