Ayato

Ayato sweat dropped as he thought to himself. "Am I... that creepy?" he sighed before scratching his head and laughing lightly. "Erm okay! But we must communicate if we are to combat with each other! Since we're a bunch of newbs, we're gonna aim for those level one meatsacks out on the fields. Kay?" he nodded with a small smile as he finished up his cinnamon roll and stored the rest of his half eaten food in his inventories list. "I am stuffed! Nothing better than a whole lot of crap for breakfast..." he rambled ON and ON as he stood up, waiting patiently for her to respond to him. "I'm done rambling... we should go now!" he whispered with a shout before standing still. Again, he drifted off into thoughts. "I'm awfully new to combat. I can only hope things will go alright so far. Yet there's no telling of that. For all that I know my dead end could be lurking around the corner. Isn't that pleasant?" To distract himself Ayato began to hum his favorite song quietly with a "bored" expression. "Now, we just need to find our way out of this big old safe zone!" His eyes looked out the window closely.

"Eh... okay!" he shrugged with a carefree grin as he really looked at her face. A small blush formed on his face before he quickly took a gigantic bite out of a bagel, choking on it as his eyes watered. "The hell?!" he mentally exclaimed before monstrously snagging his smoothie cup and taking out the straw and lid, chugging it down before he stopped coughing. 'Erm... yep! Look around, you see any open seats ma'am?" he spoke in a sarcastic tone while trying to seem cool, acting more of a clutz than he normally does. "This strange looking girl. Very, very... strange."

He ate away at his food ravenously and smiling at her question. "Well u-um... chatting? I could get to know ya more. Maybe we can party up and fight some mobs if you won't bite!" he grinned cockily before patting his stomach and taking a small break for room so he could shove more crap down his throat. "She looks rather mysterious... is she lonely? She looks a little sad..." he'd think as his eyes softened and his expression changed. He would simply look deep into her eyes with a small frown before shaking his head and laughing. "Erm... you got stuff on your face let me get it!" the boy panicked as he snagged a napkin and gently brushed it across her face for an excuse, sweat dropping.

He sat back down and shrugged. "All better... well let's start by introducing ourselves. My name is Ayato! What might yours be young lady?" he smiled as he stuck his hand out for a handshake. "And no, I do not have cooties."

[OOC]

It had been his second day in Aincrad, a day after the death game had launched into action. He felt himself tense at the fact that this in fact had been no joke, around two hundred players already dead because of this hell cage. Ayato couldn't get the image of death out of his mind, as much as he had wanted to forget about it all. "What if this was all a dream? If I pinch myself, would I wake up to hear okaa-san's voice? This has to be a delusion. T-Technology isn't too advanced yet right?" the hazel haired boy frowned before pinching his skin hardly, yet he felt no pain at all. This should have made him twitch at the least. But he felt nothing at all. "I can't feel pain? If you look closer... it's weapon combat. I think being sliced is enough agony to make you weep. Maybe that's why I can't feel pain?" Ayato tilted his head to the side and sighed. "No sugar and sprinkles..."

The boy forced a bright smile back onto his face as he walked on, quietly singing his favorite song as he walked faster. As he sang the song faster his movements began to quicken, until he clumsily bumped into a passerby and tripped. "HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!" a tall and buff man hollered. Ayato simply looked at him once and blinked, showing the very secret finger and pushing himself off the ground with a hearty laugh. He took off bolting around the town, to get all his energy out. While running his honey brown eyes scanned through all of the shops. "Tailoring, blacksmith! More tailoring... MORE tailoring... artisan-" he skidded to a stop and grinned as his eyes were fixated on the shop sign. "A Café! They must have some good crap here. Who cares I'm blowing my col... I-It's not like I'm going to die. Because I'm not going to. Hell nope!

Ayato walked into the café with a slight smile on his face, inhaling the mouthwatering aroma with a content sigh. 'Ah... Nothing better than a nice whiff of baked goodness!" he looked around the area closely, glancing at all the people. A few of them were arguing, some playing a good old game of cards. Others simply socializing and sipping tea. He'd scratch his head in confusion. "D-Do they care about this game? They look awful carefree from just being told that." he yawned and walked up to the counter, looking at the menu. Then he looked back at the lady. "I would likeee... two bagels, an extra large strawberry smoothie a cinnamon roll a-and WAIT! That candy bar right there." He pointed at a deluxe snicker bar and laughed strangely, watching in amusement as the cashier lady looked back at one of the cooks. "Sure that would be 500 sir." Ayato's jaw droped before he puffed his cheeks out and entered in the transaction through his control panel. Once the tray of food had been handed to him, he looked over at the NPC and winked."G'day ma'm!"

Ayato averted his attention back to the people, blinking in shock as all the seats had been taken except for one. A seat next to a girl with long flowing auburn hair with a cold expression on her face. He cringed and sighed. "D-Dayum... I hope she doesn't mind if I sit beside her." he muttered under his breath before sprinting towards her and slamming his food tray on the seat beside her. He laughed nervously and spoke. "S-Sup?"

Ayato's eyes opened, the first thing he had seen being the light of the blinding sun. He shook his head and sighed, looking around him. Swarms, swarms of players all dressed in unusual attire. To the left and the right were vendors flooding the area, trying to sell their goods. Some people were laughing and playing around. He found it odd, how this game worked that way. Was it all socialize for the moment? "So... this is Aincrad? It's a lot more unique than I had expected it to be," he smiled softly and began to walk around, cringing at the loud noises as he moved on in his path. "People must love socializing before a game begins. Maybe it's a way to make friends?" he shook his head and avoided the crowds of running people as he explored the new area.

• Ayato was a simple family oriented boy who grew up in Hokkaido, a beautiful city with fresh green grass, and a moderate population which wasn’t crowded with so many people like the major cities were. He was the school clown, always doing crazy things and standing out in the crowd. He didn’t really have much friends, maybe a few which went away after a while. But he didn’t seem to mind it at all, smiling even if he thought that was a really lame life. But the day he met a girl named Aka, everything had changed. He met his first real friend. She was a small framed girl with auburn hair, turquoise eyes and a face that wasn’t easy to read. Unlike him, she was a very popular student at their school.
  
  It started out as simple talk, but gradually they had gotten closer. They started holding their own playdates. One of their favorite things to do together was roleplaying. She was the princess and he was the knight in shining armor. They would even make their own self proclaimed kingdom, which was really just Aka’s backyard. Ayato valued every single moment they had spent together, having some sort of feeling that she would leave him. But she didn’t. She sticked beside him, despite how embarrassing he’d act in public… all the shouting and running around. â€So… this is friendship? It’s such a wonderful feeling. It must be amazing to have so many friends!†Ayato would wonder.
  
  • When Ayato had turned thirteen, he was supposed to spend his day with his family and Aka, but no matter how many times he had called her, she didn’t pick up. â€What happened?†he’d question in bewilderment. He decided to move along and celebrate with his family, but he couldn’t stop thinking of how weird it was. But he assumed that it was just others reasons why she wouldn’t pick up. â€Maybe I should ask if she’s okay… tomorrow.†But she wasn’t at school. For a while even. A week or so later, she had called him saying these two words quickly: â€I’m moving.†and after that she had hung up on him. Ayato sighed, as he looked down at the ground. â€That’s right. This is a part of life. Things like this… always happen. I don’t know if I can ever make another real friend.â€
    
    

• The years all passed by, and Ayato had grown into a tall young boy, who had still been the very same till this day. He had a few “friendsâ€, and had been living an average life like any other student. He wondered how his old friend was doing, and how many more friends she had gained all these years. He had a feeling that he was replaced by some popular kid, but there wasn’t anything he could do about it. â€No sugar and sprinkles…†he’d whisper. He did this all the time when things seemed down for him.
  
  Recently, he had been getting outstanding grades for his parents, snatching all those gold and silver honor rolls. He hadn’t even noticed this however, and why on earth he even studied so hard. It was simply his way of killing time and focusing on something else. But unexpectedly, Ayato had been gifted a huge brown package. He raised a brow and opened it up, his jaw dropping when he read the price tag and scanned the front cover. â€D-Dad? M-Mom? This is costly… why did you spend so much on me?†they both replied with a simple smile. â€Because you’ve made us proud.†â€Oh?†he thought as he quickly unboxed the game and stared at the manual.
  
  â€Th… that’s some neat technology.†Ayato bolted up the stairs and into his room, plopping down on his bed as he set the system up. The plugins, the monitor… the NERVEGEAR. He lay down and stare up at the ceiling with a sigh, before wearing the strange headset and clicking the on button. â€Here it goes I guess.†â€Link start!†with those words, he found himself running into troubles hands, in a world so fascinating… yet so cruel at the very same time. His adventure had yet to begin. Would he make it till the very end?

  • He has a smooth and friendly voice, not too deep and not too high. Just... in between. He may tend to shout a lot at times, especially when he's in combat.

Kind- Ayato has a heart of gold, and an empathic nature He's always concerned about how others are doing, and tends to make other’s burdens his own at times. He’s the type to go out of his way to help a complete stranger, or console a crying child who lost their parents. He doesn’t like to be seen as an overemotional worrywart, so he tends to play the cool act by showing an outward exterior of a typical arrogant young man.

★Lively- Ayato is the type who adds life to a dull or awkward situation. He is always smiling and encouraging positive attitudes, and at times he’ll even make a fool of himself to cheer others up. He’ll always crack puns on the spot and make witty and comical remarks, being a generally fun person to be around, a wide grin always on his face no matter what. He smiles to make himself even happier, although he may not always be smiling on the inside.

★Determined- No matter what it may be, Ayato won’t give up… even if it killed him. He would move on in achieving his goal. Once the young man has his priorities set, there is no way he’ll back down or simply “give upâ€. Laziness and defeat are simply not in his vocabulary. Father had always told him that life reaped you what you sewed, and every minute of your life did count. Those words had actually been inspiration to this day, and now he’ll never leave any sort of goal hanging off a cliff. He’ll simply… get it done! Because that’s what successful people do.

★Observant- Ayato's eyes are constantly studying the behavior of living things around him. The way people laugh and talk, the way they react to situations... how to animals communicate. Everything about society. It's a trait of his that never dies down. His eyes are wide open with curiosity. This however is a good trait mainly because his eyes are constantly scanning for any sight of nearby dangers and such. It's always best... to keep your eyes wide open.

★Quick- Ayato is quick on his feet, and always on the move. Back in the real world, he was used to running miles in the track team, which he been doing since elementary, building up the endurance needed. In the virtual world, he is now swift on his feet, able to dodge attacks swiftly IF he is able to notice them coming in his direction. It's not god speed... but fast. In this game, swiftness is one of his main useful traits.

★Stubborn- Ayato is one who despises authority and being controlled with a burning passion. If he happens to dislikes what is being said,, he'll go against it despite the consequences that might occur, having a mind of his own logic. He believes that everyone has their own free will, and so he'll tend to boldly rebel and do whatever he might feel like doing at the moment. This makes him a generally hard person to cooperate with, and a very frustrating comrade. Ayato tends to get into many sticky situations with his hot headed attitude, constantly clashing heads with others and starting up quite a noisy cacophony.

★Erratic- Ayato is one of the most erratic people you’ll ever meet in your whole life. One moment he’ll be quietly minding his own business, and the very next moment he’s off causing some sort of cacophony… be it combat or quarrels, you name it! This could be a bad thing, since this could only mean he has a very poor attention span. He tends to focus on other things while in conversation, making this a generally bothersome flaw of his.

★Overprotective- Once Ayato establishes any sort of bond with someone, he cares for their wellbeing. However, he just might care too much. He will go to the extents of ratting them off about common sense. He is the most protective of his friend Akari, and he tends to become possessive at times. But in all honesty he is just a mere worrywart who cares a lot for his companions.

★Irritable- Ayato is a boy who tends to get angered rather easily. When angered, he gets aggressive or snappy, his impulsive nature showing. At these points he tends to become violent and foul mouthed. He would almost appear like an entirely different person... the bipolar opposite of cheerful, kind, and sweet. This is a flaw he hates about himself, and he gets insecurities because of this.

★Easily Stressed- When Ayato is given tasks or certain goals, he begins to stress out and flip a cow over it all. He begins to worry and plan out a huge winded plan on how he will accomplish something, when in the end he was making a huge ordeal over nothing at all. He simply needs to unwind a little, although he never knows when to take a “chill pillâ€.
