Silver was somewhat stunned and confused by the seeming offence the woman had taken. “My sincere apologies, Madam, I had no intentions to often in any regard.” He listened to the two persons before him as they introduced themselves. And the woman spoke mentioning that she was merely joking with her seeming offence. “I am happy to hear that you are not truly offended. I am Silver Zevulum but I believe it is improper in this world to address others by their birth name, therefore you may call me Thorsten. It is a pleasure to meet you both. Shall we walk to a tavern or in so we may chat in warmth. I know not what this ‘subdungeon’ you speak of is but if you will allow me to, I would be pleased to learn” he then considered the comment she made about battle . “I know not how battle fairs thee in this world but from my experience in the world which my body resides, whilst attending martial arts tournaments you need not armour. Your flesh being all you need to brace the impact of the opposing force. Though perhaps, unannounced to me, the rule and laws which govern this land are changed in this fact.” next another man approached, seeming as though there was something on his mind though Silver felt not the need to inquior about such things for the time being. "Do not fret Mister Kaluluwa, you have not come accross with any such intentions of harm. I am Silver Zevulum, though you may call me Thorsten. It is a pleasure to meet you." Silver still wore a warm smile as he spoke, reaching out to accept the handshake.
He then turned, begining, now, to walk towards the town as he did so. "I do not know much of this world, nor it's enhabitance. You both seem to have a good basis of knowledge about you judging my the cloth you wear. In would be honored if you were to share some of your experiences with me."

Silver was swiftly approached by someone. This person seemed to be somewhat less than content but not upset by any means. Silver observes the person’s face and body language, giving them a soft smile his heterochromatic eyes glistening in the sun. “Indeed! I must say that the view is quite peaceful whilst looking through the right lens of light, so to speak. The breeze blowing in every which direction as it strides through the feels gracing everything it touches with movement. The grass wave at the breeze as it passes by, seeming as thought to smile at the humming bird that lands on the flower beside it.”
Silver we looked out into the distance of the field and sas another person making their way to what was becoming quite the congregation. He raised his had and waved at the shyly approaching person before turning to the first and stating. “Look there another companion comes to join the congregation let us welcome him into this ponderous group and converse as friends instead of strangers!” -
The peaceful landscape was quick to be interrupted by the sound of a humanoid walking along the lakes edge. Silver turned to see the man, dressed as a commoner. The man stopped seeming curious as to the goings on in the area. Silver had all but opened his mouth before the sound of another, much louder on the snow due to the added speed, came to rest at the side of the first. Interestingly the second seemed to have the figure of a Japanese neko, though Silver paid this no mind instead he was more conserned with the armour the girl wore. It seemed as something that would prove pitiful protection in battle, given the ample amount of exposed skin, perhaps this was just a outfit she wore for the time spent outside of battle. The girl meowed at him though he found this to be normal in comparison to the other things he has seen. He first looked to the man in commoners cloth and stated in a thick northern English accent “I cannot say there is much out of the ordinary in the land, if that is what you had the intention of asking me, however if you are asking about what I believe to be interesting about this place I would say that the ambiance of the calm and serene lake that lies before me whist the rest of the world comes and goes is perhaps the most interesting observation I have found this far.” Silver then looked to the woman, she had asked about his willingness to move, referencing the cold. He looked at her with his heterochromatic eyes “I have no drive to move based on the reason of temperature alone, however I would be willing to stand and walk with you if that is what is desired, I will say however you may find yourself less chilled if you were to wear cloth that covered more of you and less mettle. The ease at which the mettle will wick heat away from your body is not ideal at the temperature of this floor” Silver stood up, he had an innocent smile on his face as he looked at the other two.

Silver stood at the edge of town looking over the field before him. He wondered as to the compilation of life the world around him was based on. Leaning against a tree he observed the sounds of the world around him, taking in everything while leaving nothing. His goal no more great than to observe and understand. He smiled with contentment whilst he observed the area, the sun allowing a strong glisten off his heterochromatic eyes. There was nothing in this world that troubled him and he hoped for the ability to spread the wisdom of the world he had lived to others, allowing the experiences he knew well to inspire and assist other, much like his father had done for him. Silver took in a long breath holding it briefly, before letting the air back out, he stood up strait and said to the world “This life I live, these people I meet are the things that make my life my own, my observations shape me, my experiences guide me. My situation directs me as light through a lens. Where now, life, will I be taken next?”

Silver sat at the edge of Frostbite Lake looking into the ever frozen water. The sun was just about to come over the horizon to signify the new day. Silver listened to that which was around him and wondered as to the verity of wildlife that was sure to be hiding in the ice-inlaid woods, which seemed to catalyst at this point. Silver noticed a slight breeze, though he could not discern the whereabouts of its origin, observing the slight change in heat supply around him as was directed by the breeze. That was what he did, observe. That was what he was good at doing, he had no quarrel with the purpose of his life, instead he accepted it to the fullest of its direction. Much like how the breeze direct the heat, his observations directed his life.
The sun began to glisten off the frozen surface of the lake before him and he took in what there was to learn, as he had done so many times before. He wore a face of contentment as to where he was in life and the world. In fact, he had no reason to so any distain because he had no reason to distain. His miscoloured eyes observed everything and even with where he sat, this game of challenge, death and life he was happy.

Hello, I am looking for people to start some threads with. I am strictly doing character development/non-combat threads at the moment but I am open to non combat quests as well.

Thorsten gave a slight nod as he listened to Katherine speak. He thought back to the games they played, or rather that she insisted that they play together. She would always choose to be a healer or debuf. Silver, however, enjoyed playing either mages or monks, he tended to boost his own abilities so that he could quickly end the battles he entered. Normally sticking to passive traits when battle wasn’t necessary. However she then began to talk about her happenings in the game. It was troubling to him that she had such problems early on while he was unable to assist her, though he attempted to stay strong for her as he always did, pushing back the feelings of sorrow and disappointment in himself. “As they say, what is in the past is in the past; what has happened, happened. Let’s look to the future so that we may better ourselves. Shaping our paths based on our experiences and choosing how to shape our future. I am proud of how far you have come and I am sure in those times of anguish you did well! And now I find myself again, humbled as you friend and guardian, destined to fulfil the promise to you I made long ago. And I can at last say, once again, that I can be content.” Silver smiled at Katherine and gave her a slight bow as he had done before.
He remembered back to a night after her incident, he had been sitting next to her, and whilst he did not and does not necessarily have a specific feeling of romance for her, he made her a promise saying “By my heritage I swear to you, I will stand by you as a friend throughout time. I will ensure your victory over your demons, be they mental or physical. Theses bloodied fists” Silver holds up his hands still wrapped in the now blood-soaked cloth from the fight he had protected her from earlier “will not rest until I know with certainty that nothing else in this world can harm you. You have my word, sworn on my life, my heritage, and my home”
“I believe I do remember the little rascal” he said as he knelt down to pet and play with the puppy “they are strangely similar aren’t they?” He asked Katherine, Silvers multicoloured eyes almost sparkling in the sunlight. -
The girl he had know for so long before the game had turned to see him, the shocked expression was unmistakable. So oft Silver would find himself around her when she needed assistance without his intention and without her knowing much like his father had to him. He felt her caress his cheek and ask if it was him who stood before her. “I could be no other” He said with a soft smile. Before he found himself in her embrace. He returned her motion with a firm but not right hug, rubbing her back slightly. Once she was ready to let go he stepped back. “It has been a long time my friend of the ages, how has this strange life treated you?” He was happy that he finally found her, and he allowed himself alto talk in his intrinsic way. While most found it strange or off-putting it was, indeed, a part of who he was. “My sincerest apologies Katherine, my hope to surprise you upon entering this game was delayed. I wish I had found you sooner, as to allow me to experience all of the magnificent adventures you have surly persecuted.”

Thorsten had been grinding sense he started this game. It was a poor profession but when you are filled with rage and just want to smack things, grinding is your best bet. For Throsten , however, today’s was different, having finally accepted his fate he decided to go to a frost covered lake and reclaim the emotions rambling in his mind. He didn’t put on any armour just his clothing before walking into the cold fields. He never really did mind the cold
Thorsten stood and looked o’er the frozen lake before him, taking in the brilliance of the slick glow the sun had graced it with. He hadn’t been paying a vast amount of attention to his surroundings before a song graced his ear. The voice was familiar, a rich tone cutting through the cold air and riding the breeze. The voice he knew very well. He smiled as he quietly approached the voice, attempting not to startle the singer he crossed his arms and stood so that most of his weight was on his right leg. Once she ended her song Thorsten spoke “I told you that you would become a great singer one day Katherine” his northern British accent showing through as he spoke. “Your voice can bring life to the flowers long since gone.”

Rebirth: NixonUsername: Thorsten
Real name: Silver Zevulum
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Height: 6ft
About: History/personalitySpoilerSilver was born in England, he grew up and lived his life there. His father was a wise business man who passed on his knowledge of the world to Silver only when Silver needed it most. It seemed that his father was always there and had advice for Silver in his darkest times that helped him see the light. Along with this Silver has live a lot of live, much more than most when compared to his age group, he never really go along with his peers because of this. He mostly would associate himself with the elderly of the neighborhood in his free time, learning their stories and learning from their blunders. Whilst he was in the real world he would oft volunteer in a nursing home if for no other reason than to provide the people there with company and companionship, something he knew the feeling of going without well. One day in secondary school he met a interesting woman named Katherine. She seemed to be more mature than the rest of his classmates, allowing them to become friends over time, Silver even took her under his wing as he attempted to teach her martial arts. He was always there as a mentor, a councilor, and a friend to Katherine, enjoying the feel of being able to have someone he called a friend. Along with Katherine, Silver met someone on a forum that he only knew as Stryder. This man live across the world though, perhaps due to the screen that separated them, they became trusted friends and formed a sort of brother-ship as Silver would assist Stryder in any way he could. One day Katherine mentioned a new game called SAO, Silver wondered at it being fond of the sort of game that it could be and decided to join in as well, though he made no mention to Katherine or Stryder about such things. He adorn the username Thorsten, his normal username on other games and forums and thus started his journey.
Virtues:
Wise:SpoilerSilver is a top-notch advisor. He is looked to by many for advice and seems to have lived more life then most anyone his age. While he was younger he had been known as “an old sage in a teenagers body” and this was very true. Not to mention whist he was being confronted by Katherine about a small problem she had run into. He gradually gained a close friendship with her, even though it was built on Silver helping her with her problems. It was the best kind of friendship he could think of. One where he could pass on his knowledge and help someone better themselves
Calm:SpoilerWhile Silver has a large set of useable emotions, he tends to be very calm in the face of most events, preferring to be the voice of reason over the voice of emotion. He has been known to be completely calm whilst practicing his martial arts, and unflinching when faced with immense danger. He takes the time to be calm and mostly pleasant when the world punches a single person or a group in the face if for no other reason than to be a rock for those around them.
Disciplined:SpoilerSilver spent his free time that was not in the library in the dojo. He quickly picked up on the different styles of martial arts and was proud of his abilities when the day was done. The time he spent learning taught him discipline and patience. He calls upon these when he is faced with challenges remembering that nothing worth wile is ever easy. He uses this to help give people advice and to keep himself confident that he can complete his goals and achieve any multitude of greatness he sets his mind to
Flaws:
Reference: http://www.darkworldrpg.com/lore/flaws.html
Disconnected:SpoilerWhile Silver enjoys human interaction, he has a hard time procuring most friendships. His mature nature set him apart from his peers at a young age. He had a hard time connecting with anyone who was not over thirty years of age and those who tried found him to be too much like an adult to bother. Once he grew to the age of eighteen his peers still seemed to be disconnected from him, they though he was much older than he really was and wanted nothing to do with him. They saw him as a buzzkill, bringing reason and responsibility into the picture when all they wanted to do was party hard and party often.
Devils Avocet:SpoilerSilver liked to see both sides of the picture, even when that meant telling someone something they didn’t want to hear. He wanted to make sure that what was being said and what was being believed were both ligament, in their own right. Because of this, many a soul got angry at him when he told them how the other side may see it, often not warning them that he was going to look at the problem. He didn’t like to take sides in a situation unless there was no option to stay silent about said situation.
Coping
SpoilerSilver is known to have a good variety of way to help others cope with their problems being a rock for them to approach and speak with, however he is horrible at doing such himself. While in the midst of an event he will be seen as calm and caring, the things that he avoids for time eats away at him. Whenever no one else is around, or he is with a friend that he has a large amount of trust for, he will 'cope' with his problems by beating into training equipment. Now that he has found his way into SAO he takes the problems he has out on monsters. He tends to go on long rants while he does this often repeating himself over and over again while doing so. This rarely does more than allow him to act calm after the fact, and even more rarely does it fix the problems he avoids. The only person thus far that has seen him have this problem is Eatos, though it was only once.

Story Thus Far (optional)SpoilerSilver Edward Zevulum AKA. The Wind. AKA Thorsten– Day 1
I feel I should start my journey though this new world by recounting my journey through the world I came from. My mother, Ophelia Zevulum, brought me into the family trade when I was around the age of nine. She was, to the knowledge of few, an assassin. The family trade was not one of money, but instead that of power. It was rare to find a government without the influence of the Zevulum household nearby, more than likely disguised as another family by an alias. My father, Sabastian Zevulum was such as this, he served as an ambassador for a small country that I will not disclose here. My mother apprenticed me, training me in the art of silent assassination. I have seen many things on my journey none of which am I upset I saw. I learned the art of blending in and contentment. My mother found I was a true Zevulum when she started instructing me. I not only was a natural with a blade, but I was born with a talent of assassination. Not to mention my ability to be a quick learner. Thus, I learned quick and within three-hundred sixty-five days I found myself with my first solo mission. I executed it swiftly and with grace. Alexander Zevulum The First, head of the family, called for me to visit him, he showed me the knowledge of combat he was familiar with and gave me the alias ‘The Wind’ for my ability to move with the sound of the wind covering me.
I must discontinue my writings for now, perhaps I will continue at a later date.

[F1-PP] The Meeting of souls (Spencer, Thorsten, Pinball) {Complete}
in Beginner Floors
Posted
Silver smiled and nodded in agreement to Spencer’s statement of having not met prior to the current goings on. “Indeed, it is a welcome time of gathering, if I do say so myself. I am Silver Zevulum, though I have found it is improper in many groups to go by the name given to you at your birth into the world, which our bodies reside. Therefore, if you would prefer to call me Thorsten then you may do so as well. It is a fine pleasure to meet you Spencer and you as well Pinball.” Silver smiled at Pinball before continuing, “You need not worry about wrongdoings between us. It seems that we all have fare intentions and proper ideals based on how you both have presented yourselves. It is best not to fear the things that have not shown themselves to be worth a fearful response. Whilst the paranoia that resides in the unknown calls to every person under the sun, it is our choice whether to accept its call or ignore it.”
Silver turned from the group and walked casually out into the field, waving at the two men that now stood behind him to follow. Silver walked with a casual sort of outward body language, he did not slouch, but his stride was laid back and his face showed that of curiosity and understanding. The only thing that was not what most would consider 'normal' when they walked was how his arms hung at his sides, they were always somewhat loose and seemingly ready to fight at a moments notice. “If I am permitted to ask, what are the experiences that brought you to where you are today. What has shaped your being and what lessons do you have from those experiences that you would set in the mind of the youth of today?”
