Crozeph

Crozeph could feel fear creeping down on him as he slowly walks back "low HP,low level, I think I should be more careful on my surroundings" he thought. Crozeph is only a few steps aways from Aincrad but the previous battle even though low leveled made him weary. Crozeph looked around for a tree with a good shade so he could rest for a while "I need to pull myself together" he thought. "Dying in the game means death in reality" he said while looking at the sky. Crozeph isn't worried about dying, he's worried about the person that he won't see anymore if he dies. "When I think about it, it's like she helped me be in danger" Crozeph thought. He pulled out grasses beside himand stared at it "not real enough" he said "as long as my mind sees this as a game, everything won't be real enough."

"That wasn't so bad" Crozeph said as the boar got pushed back by his surprise attack. Crozeph fixated his eyes on the boar and evaluating the attack he landed just now. Crozeph saw that the boar is ready to attack this time and he can clearly see the end of this battle. "If I can time my attack well this time then I might kill it and make a run for Aincrad" he thought. CRozeph gripped his sword tight and rushed towards the boar.After closing the distance and he's only a few feet to the boar, Crozeph slashed the boar in the face. The boar let out a dying sound before shattering and disappearing in front of him "I hope every battle turns out like this." Crozeph sheathe his sword again and continued walking when he suddenly felt a pain. the boar also inflicted pain on him causing him to lose another HP "I guess my victory isn't that sweet at all" he thought.

The boar walked aimlessly on the path of Aincrad. It was programmed to be attacked and attack, its main purpose is to inflict damage on players. The boar saw a player standing a few feet away from it. It saw the player point at something and in its face a look of both fear and frustration. The boar stared at the player for a while and then he stopped moving. The boar saw him pull out his sword and charged at it. The boar didn't see it coming it was unaware of the player's action. The boar quickly launched a counterattack but since the player got a head start it failed to inflict a successful attack on the player.

Just as he nears the city, A boar blocked his way to the entrance "Oh come on! I'm low on HP!" CRozeph pointed at his HP bar with anger. After a few seconds he realized something "it's unaware of my situation" he thought. Crozeph pulled out his sword and moved his left foot back, pointed his sword at the boar and lunged at it "Let me do this right this time" he said before the boar could even react to the attack.

Crozeph could feel his knees shaking as if it was a real near-death experience "my HP is not that good" he thought. Crozeph looked around and saw that the other boars are a few meters away "better make my way back to the city again." Crozeph turned  around and saw Aincrad from afar "Aincrad looks more safer on players with low HP... including myself" he thought. Crozeph walked slowly so as not to attract the other boars' attention. As Crozeph makes his way back to Aincrad, he noticed the surrounding more around him "looks real to me...but not enough" he thought. Crozeph tried to take away his mind on what's happening outside the game "I wish she was here..." he continued walking and slowly he sees Aincrad 6 meters away from him.

Crozeph heard the boar's frustrated sound "you're programmed pretty well my dear boar" he said. Crozeph started to get the hang of stabbing the boar and this time, he knew what's gonna happen next. Crozeph saw the boar rushing towards him at full speed "strength at alone is not enough" Crozeph said. he moved his left foot back pointed his sword at the boar. Just as the boar is nearing him, Crozeph didn't move waiting for the boar to get killed by its own frustration. "side step..." Crozeph moved to the side of the boar as it closed in on him. The boar saw it as a successful attack but to its horror, Crozeph only dodged by an inch making it looks like a successful one "game over Pumba" Crozeph slashed the side of the boar making it take its last hit and shatter beside him "Timing is essential even if I have low stats, that I must remember" Crozeph said as he sheathes his sword back to it's scabbard.

The boar let out a sound of frustration. the player dodged its attack with ease as if he predicted the whole attack. It looked at Crozeph with anger, ready to attack him again and this time the boar charged at him with full speed thinking that it can inflict damage to the player with pure strength only. As it charges towards Crozeph the boar could only think of nothing but to end this fight not seeing the player's trick.

Crozeph moved back "Damn it, why do I keep screwing this up?" he thought. The boar is still standing but it will be over once he lands another successful hit. Crozeph gripped his sword tight and rushed towards the boar. "Once the boar moves I'll take the chance to move away" he thought. Crozeph can't let himself be open for another one of the boar's attack again because it will only make things worse for him "I won't be spawning again...but the boar will do" he thought. Crozeph stabbed the boar but it missed again "there it goes" the boar moved away and charged at him but Crozeph saw the attack "not gonna happen" he moved back dodging the boar's counterattack "how can boars like these act like mid-bosses?" he said looking at the boar again.

the boar charged at the player the moment it saw the player move, Seeing that the attack would hit the player. It moved its head upwards trying to hit the player with its tusk. after taking a hit from the player, the boar quickly attacked him not letting itself go down without a fight. The boar moved backed after attacking and saw that the player moved back feeling the pain it inflicted.

Crozeph winced at the attack "my first attack failed that's a good start" he thought. He gripped his sword tightly trying to take away his attention at what the boar made. "I need to make a better plan and it's to wait at the boar to attack...not" Crozeph pointed the sword at the boar and charged at it hoping that the attack hits.

The boar saw Crozeph charging at it. Seeing that the player took the liberty to make the first attack, it waited for a few seconds before dodging the attack. Crozeph is wide open and the boar clearly sees it. The boar kicked it's hind legs and charged at the player hitting its side and the next thing it saw  is the player wincing at the attack it made.

"A stare that makes me feel danger" Crozeph said to himself. He's been staring at the boar for a minute now. he held his sword tighter and waited for the boar to move. "Don't tell me, the boar is also waiting for me" he thought. He stepped back trying to test if the boar would react and it did. The boar started kicking faster and it's eyes fixated on him. Crozeph poited his sword and charged at it. After closing the distance in a few seconds the boar dodged the attack. "Not now!" he thought as he realized that he's open to the boar's counterattack.

the boar noticed Crozeph from a distance after spawning.it looked at him and studied him first. the boar quickly charged at him, ready to hit him with all its strength then it stopped. Noticing that the player isn't moving, the boar begin kicking its hind legs trying to read the player's movement. The moment their eyes meet, the boar heard the player talk to himself.

Crozeph was staring at his sword when they talked to him "about the gameplay I won't have problems Mcgrath" he said then he looked at Yuji and smiled "I'm more anxious about the dying on higher floors." Crozeph wanted to level up fast or gain col but not in a dangerous way...at least for now but seeing that there are other players who take the risk, he might as well take chances in order to improve. "I've read the gameplay many times, there shouldn't be any problems" he thought. Crozeph stood firm and looked at the other players again "so who gives the command?"

Crozeph looked around "we'll travel higher?" he said. Going on higher floors is not what he's thinking right now. he accepted the blade Arekkusu lent him "but I can only use what I have" he opened his inventory and equipped his first sword and kept the one Arekkusu gave him "this is an RPG game, leveling up is a must" he thought. Crozeph looked at the others and started memorizing their names. "Mcgrath, Arekkusu, Yuji, Lessa, and me" he thought. Then he gripped his sword tight "let's do this."

"Must resist the urge..." Crozeph thought as he slowly walks towards the other players. Crozeph hasn't talked to any players yet and this one seems like a challenge to him. "Anyone who needs help?" he said walking towards them trying to keep calm "nice job Crozeph, you're the one who needs help not them" he said to himself. "I might as well introduce myself, I'm Crozeph and..." Crozeph looked at them trying to talk normally "ask directions,ask directions,talking to others wasn't written in the manual" Crozeph breathed slowly "Can I join?"

"Let's see, if I remember the route that I made..." Crozeph looked around and saw only grass and trees around him "I guess getting preoccupied is still in me" he said. Crozeph got lost again because of over thinking the whole Aincrad map instead of viewing it in his menu. "Better make my way back before trouble comes in" Crozeph started walking back and realized that he was really into thinking that he forgot where he started "I hope there are players around." Crozeph quickly walked away and looed around for players where he can ask directions "I might as well start on building my stats" he thought. After taking a few steps he saw four players and one of them is a girl talking to each other "a party?" he thought.

I forgot about this section but anyways...

the name is Christoff and I would like to say hello to everyone. I'm not new to RPing but it's been a while since I did one so it feels kinda new to me a little. I'm hoping for a fun stay here with everyone!!! :grin:

Crozeph slowly walked out of the city making his way to the grasslands. He pulled out his weapon and looked at it "I guess I have to move this time" he thought. A wild boar started eyeing him from afar as if it feels superior to him "I don't like the way he looks at me." The boar started kicking its hind legs as if its ready to kill him."Ok,first I'll strafe then attack it with all I can" He thought. Crozeph stepped his left foot back and grabbing the hilt of his sword "let's get this game started."

» About: 

Personality
Quiet, calm, reserved, and at times has a list of outlandish ideas. Crozeph's nature is quite an annoyance to those who exude airs of bravado or gallantry. The anti-thesis of people who are loud and full of shit. Even so, this personality of his piques the curiosity of some, most of the time, people with a few screw loose or tight. A person who would prefer to do things efficiently while being erratic. Crozeph respects those who bite when they bark, those who lead by example and by a few smacks of their iron fist. He also tries his best to reciprocate cheerfulness to those who are full of it.

A loner, over thinker, and a balance of pessimist and optimist but most of the time a pessimist. Crozeph would find ways to accept reality or what life serves before him. This however causes sadness which he prefers to hide from anyone. His calm expressions are often accompanied by a weary or sleepy look on his eyes. Crozeph grew up thinking that he is in the way of others and thus reminded himself that a great way for him to be helpful to others is by staying out of their way. He would often look tired as he wastes his thoughts on how his life was as good as it gets and at the same time as sad as it can be. 

Funny enough, Crozeph also has a nasty temperament demonstrated by his cold-hearted glare or words. A kind of freezing rage as one might say, the angrier he is the more chilling his personality will be. He also separates anger from being upset, knowing that anger has a lot more weight for him than being upset. An anger directed towards those who are a threat to the few people he cherishes.

Crozeph is an easy person to approach but a difficult person to understand, his weird habits of giving nicknames, weird ideas, and his ever so weary nature is enough to turn away those who prefer "knightly" characteristics because whether people like it or not, Crozeph is just your average guy.

 

Childhood life
Like most children, Crozeph's childhood was forged as he grew up. His parents were good people who wanted only what's best for the family to which Crozeph carried the ideal to protect those who are like family to him. His anger was a trait of his father, who got into so many troubles just by making sure no one aggravates their family. As he grew up he realized that one day he would be doing it for them also and so his thoughts were already conditioned that whoever is a thread to his loved ones will never go unpunished. While this was as some point a bad trait, his mother was the opposite, she always encouraged Chris or Crozeph to keep his anger in check so it won't be his downfall. Contradictions are then introduced to him, anger to those who would dare touch him or his loved ones and a reminder to him to keep himself calm at all times.

During his childhood days, his parents were working abroad in Japan, his mother was an accountant while his father was a fabrications engineer in a same company. Both were esteemed employee of a company and gained the favor of one of its top managers. This is were Christoff met his very first friend who in time will become his best friend, Aya. With the reputation his parents has established, Crozeph was also given recognition as having the same capabilities with his parents after they saw his observant and quiet nature.

It was also in his childhood where his mother died of cancer and in her last moments told Crozeph to never let his anger cloud his judgment. A heartbreaking experience for a boy but he accepted it and did his best never to get angry. This however never stopped bullies from provoking him to fight, he would often end up wounded or beaten up before he could even enter 4th grade. His father on the other hand was saved from grieving and depression by a co-worker who was close to both his parents. As a boy he somehow became infamous because of fighting back despite the low chances of winning it. Most bullies would remember how he never stopped standing up with a killing intent on his eyes but in the end get beaten up. 

His father then remarried after two years to which his step-brothers were born. His reputation if getting into fights never escaped the ears of his step-mother and began to feel prejudice towards him. This gave way for Crozeph to think that he is in the way of his father's newfound happiness and thus decided that once he's old enough he'll move out of the house.

 

Teenage years/Pre-SAO
As soon as he entered high school, Crozeph moved out of his father's house and lived in a small apartment in the same city. A few conditions were agreed between him and his father to allow him, like only his father and his best friend should know his and a few exceptions (Destiny, birthday celebrations, Christmas). His father also wanted to maintain his responsibility by providing financial support for him to which Crozeph requested that he'll go to college. His solitary life was quite lonely at first but with the visits from his father and best friend he managed to work his way on being independent on almost everything. He also took part-time jobs in logistics companies and convenience store to keep up with his own expenses. Crozeph graduated high-school with a slightly above average grade which the teachers coined as "his way of proving that he's holding back" but Crozeph simply told them that he wants the simple things in life. His best friend also dragged him into joining a kendo club to add a "healthy hobby" in his life to which he joined reluctantly but over the course of time was learning techniques fast enough. Despite the aptitude, he was an over thinker which complicates things for him.

College defined what Crozeph was in his early twenties. He took up mechanical technology in college and was one year away from graduating before he got stuck inside Aincrad. Showing an aptitude to learn patterns and logic and understand basic mathematical problems, Crozeph showed that he was good at following patterns and systems and if he tries his best, can also work his way around it. He can also play instruments (preferably a piano or guitar) and likes to read books about strategies and tactics done throughout history.

His personality as a loner and having only a total of three friends remained. Romantic advances were turned down by him saying that he has no need for relationships or he preferred not to deal with subjects related to it. At some point his father suspected that his sexuality was not for women but he was shot down when Crozeph told him that he only wanted the simple things and with who he is, finding love is not going to be a simple task.

The day SAO was launched, he had already reminded his best friend that should something happen, one of them must inform their parents so they can be able to act quickly and that day when he logged in, his intuition was right and he's hoping his best friend didn't log in...

 

SAO timeline
Crozeph started out with a not so noticeable build and attire. It was what he wanted, to avoid unwanted attention. He only wanted to survive and get out. First He met Arekkusu Seppera who helped him get the hang of battles. It was hard for him but Crozeph managed to learn the basics and apply his mediocre kendo background on fighting mobs, all while wearing a black trench coat and a curved sword. They did more battle on different occasions with different people but somehow Arekkusu disappeared with Crozeph not knowing where he is.

Tempest Lost
The first guild that Crozeph joined. His memories of it are rather hazy but he remembers the guild leader Draterion and a few members like Destiny, Claim, Kiru, and his half-brother Tom. A decent experience for him despite having a hard time to express himself freely and the days of him showing up ended when his half-brother was killed and resulted for him to hide along with the pain.

Square One Days
A certain point in his life where his quiet nature was never a problem. Azide and the company of Square One was one of the good times for him and it was during its operations that Crozeph was able to join a floor boss fight (Floor 11) and managed to survive and also he had met and joined Baldur on some adventures to . Due to circumstances unknown to him, the guild disbanded and he was transferred to Cerulean Silence and a few months later heard the news of Azide's death.

Cerulean Silence to Guardians of New Dawn
Probably the worthless point of his life. The death of Azide was enough for him to go hopping in different groups and a guild in hopes of forgetting about it. It was never the case and at that time the only way he was able to take his mind off of it was when he and Hestia did a few quests together.

From a lost Crow to Jacob's Ladder
Undeniably, Crozeph lived a pathetic life inside Yomi living off meager payments from identifications and rations. His everyday routine was comprised of staring into the Stygian river, hunting a few mobs in Tartarus and going home to drink tea and sulk. This routine was then broken when Baldur found him and met Cordelia and also during that time he met Mari again. A confrontation and forgiveness happened which took off a heavy weight in his heart and also gave him a new courage to get out and join Baldur in his cause.

Crow Meets Yuki
Some might call it coincidence while other call it Fate (wink) but Crozeph entering a random shop for supplies gave way for him to be more expressive. His first encounter with the Pink Paladin is enough for the asocial idiot to meet the cheerful person he saw so far in his life. This was the start of a good friendship and his continuous growth as a support player. He still suffered from setback with a sudden shift on his build but managed to at least make an efficient one for him. A lot of good things happening and while his pessimism surfaces every now and then, Yuki's presence is enough to remind him that times are different now for him and for that he decided to even change his hair color as a constant reminder.

 

» Virtues:

Observant
Crozeph is observant which is one of the reasons he's quiet. He tends to observe the people around him even when he's working. He also writes down on his notebook the things that he sees everyday and observing their changes the next day. He likes observing people especially those who are in trouble and wants to see what they'll do in the situation.

Independent
Crozeph's solitary life before SAO was enough to teach him how to survive. While he is no expert at it, he still manages to do things alone. Even with his support build, Crozeph can always act on his own and do things with minimal errors. This virtue if his becomes a flaw once another capable person enters the scene.

Protective.
Due to Crozeph having only a few friends and some of them he met on RPG games, he is always protective of them. Crozeph protects those people around him as long as he can. He also gets depressed whenever he fails to protect or help them. Most of his strategies is not just to protect himself but also those people that he values most making his mind set on protecting anyone.

Blithesome
Crozeph's attitude towards people he meets the second or third time. Despite him being mostly apathetic to others, Crozeph has a way of always smiling whenever he meets someone again. It can also mean that Crozeph doesn't mind that person to intrude his life.

» Flaws:
Reference: http://www.darkworldrpg.com/lore/flaws.html

Rude/Blunt
Crozeph is always rude when it comes to talking with other people. It's not intentional but he always has a poor choice of words and would rather say things how he wants it to be heard rather than choosing the right terms when talking to someone. He also has a habit of giving bad or rude nicknames to people he doesn't like.

Naivety to the Opposite sex
One of Crozeph's flaw that makes him look like somewhere between a child or an outright creep. While he has very low tendencies to act like a pervert, he is also easily swayed by simple facts about the opposite sex. It's either he's rude to a girl or acting like she isn't a woman in his eyes or he exhibits carelessness and a laid back attitude around her.

Erratic
Crozeph tends to make deviations on many circumstances and he always calls it "plan B." This is one of the reasons why he is seen as a delinquent by others. He suddenly acts strange and quiet regardless of where he is even in public places. Sometimes he goes on doing things that make him look like a lost kid and does things with reasons unknown.

Sarcastic
Crozeph's annoyance to people with attitude problems is always manifested as sarcasm. While he is not good at it, he can always find a way to provoke a person when they are more vulnerable with their flaws (angry, bratty, even sarcastic). He is known to a small group of players as foul-mouthed because of how he talks back to anyone even if they have authority over him.

Repressed
His own belief that emotions would only lead him to ruin is also the very thing that damages his mental and emotional state. Anger, sadness, rage, and other things that he has repressed is what makes him a bit dangerous. The moment his mind is given a chance to let it out, Crozeph starts to show his true self, a cold-blooded, hot-headed person who exhibits intense hatred for those who pose threats to him and most importantly to his loved ones.
 

Relationships/Acquaintances 
 

Destiny [IIIII-------] - Crozeph's cousin in the real world, she seem to be close to him and has been playing with him since they're kids. She's the only one who addresses Crozeph as "Christoff" and finds him a little attractive. Her carefree nature and at some point clingy attitude towards Crozeph causes for him to be annoyed and amused at the same time.

Sousuke and Tomoya [IIII--------] - Crozeph's half-brothers who are twins. He's a little distant towards them probably because he still can't accept that his father re-married after his mother's death but still looks out for them even after Tom was killed by Mari. Sousuke went missing and Crozeph never heard of the other twin again. They seem to like him but due to their mother's prejudice to Crozeph's quiet nature caused for him to keep his distance from them.

Arekkusu Sepera [IIIII-------] - the first person Crozeph interacted with as he entered SAO. He has a long history of fighting side by side with him and shares the same thrill of battles. They soon parted ways with Arekkusu aiming to be stronger and Crozeph just strong enough to survive. Their connection were maintained but lately Crozeph never heard of him again. 

Azide [IIIIII------] - Crozeph's former guild leader of a disbanded guild called "Square One" and probably the most respectable person he met for the first time. Crozeph's always drawn to him, eager to know things and accompany him whenever he needed. Azide died in the hands of Rohk and greatly affected the mental and emotional stress of Crozeph. 

Baldur [IIIIIII-----] - the gaijin samurai has a history of fighting and joining adventures with Square One where he met Crozeph. They seem to share the same interests in tactics and strategies but Crozeph admits that Baldur's on a different level.

Mari [IIIIIII-----] - Crozeph's second former guild leader after they and a few others were transferred to Cerulean Silence. She's also the one who killed his brother which he witnessed. She barely remembers him due to his raven-colored hair unless she takes a closer look. She however knows that Crozeph is someone she had also wronged. A certain encounter however may take a sudden turn...

Hestia [IIIII-------] - a girl with a tank build who served as Crozeph's shield during their travels. She and Crow fought together on certain quests. She however progressed fast enough leaving Crozeph yet again stuck on Tier 1 and one of the strongest tanks in the game, they haven't met since.

Yuki Mikoto [IIIIIIIIIIII] - The girl with the most infectious cheerfulness enough to teach Crozeph how to do it properly. Crozeph likes her cooking and is always laid-back around her, they did quest together and made quite the team on handling fights. Their relationship improved over time and Crozeph became more fond of her. Soon after, he became honest with his feelings and began to express himself more to her and both end up in a relationship. He also wants to marry her.

Notes

• Spoiler

   

  • Crozeph has great footwork when moving in battle, he doesn't know it unfortunately and so he is always seen zooming towards the enemy fast enough to strike.
  • He has no remorse for beings that aren't human, or edgelords who say they have forsaken their humanity (except Dio) and so will not think twice or waste a breath to talk to someone of that type.
  • Eating weird things is one of his hidden flaws (or virtue). Living in Yomi was not good for him and Yuki makes sure he eats healthy to break that habit.
  • He acts like a vice-commander or a right hand man to Baldur, like a Hijikata Toshizo to Isami Kondo.
  • He has raven-black hair and azure eyes, he hides it though as he doesn't like unwanted attention.
  • He is snarky, will provoke hot-blooded people more, he derives pleasure seeing how people react to his attitude.
  • Crozeph talks a lot but not loud so it ends up with him looking like he's mumbling things.
