Epsilon

[OOC: Time to revive this dying thread, We aren’t through with you yet… XD]
Epsilon twirled her fingers through her long strands of hair spilling over her shoulders, her orange-gold eyes moved from spot to spot looking for something to entertain herself, for the time being, the only thing she saw was that one of the players familiars flew up into the chandelier above, the girl had purple hair. Lindsey quickly got bored of having no one to talk to, so, she thought, if she sang up on the stage, maybe she could start a conversation with someone, she sure felt like she had nothing better to do. She approached the blonde haired host. “Um, Nova, I-I… I would like to, sing?” Epsilon felt nervous about this, she had never sung in front of people before, she didn't think singing in front of a group of players was a good Idea, she felt as if they would deny her as if they thought she wasn't a good singer. She felt her anxiety flood her.
 

“Monster free? I didn’t know that.” Epsilon said, looking down at the curved sword holstered at her waist. “Well, I guess that makes my travel easier on the shoulders.” As Dazia explained, it seemed to calm and reassure Epsilon that she wasn’t going to die, at least not in this world. “The only thing I’m trying to do in this game is to prevent myself from being killed, still you do have a point there.” Epsilon responded. Epsilon listened to Yinangi’s comment, about how she needed to get to a higher level and know how to fight. “True, not all the destinations in this virtual confinement are deemed safe. I don’t plan on visiting those anytime soon. But, thanks. For paying attention. I mean, you did think there was trouble. If you want to come with, I wouldn’t mind, I’ll even walk.” Epsilon stated. She kinda liked the two players, they seemed experienced, while Epsilon, not so much.

The players arrived, they looked, oddly familiar, had she met them before? Lindsey wasn’t sure if she was hallucinating or if the white haired player was always wearing a highly detailed light armor set. She got to her feet, dusting of her battle dress and lowering her bandana. She then forced a weak smile towards the two players. The player that was now almost obvious that she changed outfits, who called herself Yinangi, wanted to make sure everything was fine, and also seemed to like to socialize. “Don’t worry, Yin-Yinangi, was it? Everything is currently fine, I’m just hiking to a place called, um, I forgot the name…” Epsilon opened her menu, and went to “Map” and looked for a location name. “I don’t see the name on my map… Um… I know it's essentially a field of flowers. I’ve never been there before, and well, I wanted to see it in case I never got the chance to.” Epsilon continued, her tone staying calm and informative the entire time, if there was no green crystal above her head, she could be mistaken for an NPC. The other player who was also wearing light armor, had a hood on the entire time. She looked like she was trying to hide. She addressed herself a Dazia, what she said next however threw off the way you would see her.  “Any means necessary…” Lindsey murmured to herself. “I understand what you mean Dazia. But I doubt that we are getting out of this game alive. At least, I doubt I am, I’m trying to visit the various landmarks around the castle before-” She paused, her smile fading, she prefered not going on. “Anyway, I’m Epsilon. Nice to meet you Yinangi and Dazia.” She held out her hand for a handshake.

@Dazia

Epsilon already felt normal, she loved running, she was too preoccupied coming to her senses about being trapped, and potentially killed, in a virtual game. Then she pictured herself, in a hospital with the nerve gear on her head, with no heartbeat reading, and her mother, father, and her two brothers gathered around her. This thought shook her a little. That's when a voice brought her back to reality, or false reality in this case. She turned her head, in her sight was two players one was being dragged along by the other, one of the two wore a casual outfit. This player had almost pure white hair, and seemed to being dragging the other player along with her. The other girl, had black hair and blue eyes, she seemed to be trying to resist the fact she was being literally dragged into something, Lindsey easily understood why immediately. Unfortunately she couldn’t express it. Before she knew it, she was on her back, looking into the sky. While she was looking over at the two players, she tripped over a thick root sticking out of the ground, which caught her foot. She sat up realizing what happened, while rubbing her head. She felt embarrassed that someone saw that happen. “Ow…” Lindsey muttered, rubbing her head. She looked towards the two who were fast approaching. When they arrived, Epsilon asked: "Can I help you?"

I, I don't know... 

Epsilon managed to find a way up towards floor two, she looked around to see if anything was different the minute she got there, and well, it was like the Appalachian mountains. Were she visited with her mother once. Her mother loved nature, Lindsey, not so much, she would coward in her room from it. Maybe that's why she liked to play video games so much, because it was the only thing she was good at. She was in a town called "Urbus", she wanted to revive old memory by hiking all the way to a place called "High Fields of Crossing", which to her was a 'new experience'. Which looked difficult because it looked like Urbus was in the center of a very large bowl. Lindsey wonder how they didn't get flash floods constantly. She bought some new add-on's to her armor, which was a black bandanna looking thing and a extra layer of fabric on the back, but it still looked surprisingly good. She approached the exit to the town, looking up at the colossal rim a good while above her. "Here we go..." She said to herself, she got into a running stance. Then took off, she was starting to feel back at home again.

Words: 208

Apperance:

Epsilon was feeling annoyed, you could tell because of her posture, specifically because someone had riled her up during the past three hours and now she was annoyed and angry. She walked the streets of the town of new beginnings. It was getting dark, it was around nine fifty in the real world. She went to a tavern to drink of her steam. Lindsey walked into the building, the building itself looked run down and damaged, but still operational, its old wood beams creaking ever so often on its stone foundation. It's dirty red clay walls show large cracks, some obvious, some repaired,  and stains that look like they haven’t seen a washcloth in months. There was a warming fire and very few people to see her when she angry, perfect. She sat down at one of the tables in the back of the room. There was a candle lit and it didn’t take long for the waiter to notice she was there. She ordered a Applejack, which was a fruity flavored alcoholic drink. She sat there, thinking about her day, taking a deep breath in every minute or so. If only someone could calm her down.

Epsilon listened to Nova's comments...

23 hours ago, Novafire said:

Hi Lindsey! I'm Novafire, my friends call me Nova. It's so nice to meet you! Nova replied happily. Yes, I'm the one hosting this event. Oh, this isn't my place, someone owed me some favors. OK, a lot of favors. But at least I get to do something good for the players of this game. She said with a hint of excitement in her voice, and a big smile on her face. She looked towards where Epsilon came in. Did you see anyone else come in behind you?

@Novafire

"Thanks Nova. It's nice to meet you too. Wait, what kind of favors lead to renting out a mansion? I understand, this is actually is a good Idea for this game, bringing people together, making friends, its smart. Sorry Nova, I didn't see anyone behind me." Another player that Introduced themselves as Ben came in right after Epsilon and Nova were done talking for the moment.

Quote

Um, sorry if I'm interrupting, he said hesitantly to the girl he didn't know.  I'm Ben.  I do mostly potions and stuff...

@Benjamin Bookworm 

Lindsey smiled in response. "Greetings Ben, In case you didn't already hear, I'm Epsilon, but my friends call me Lindsey. Nice to meet you." She held out a hand, as if requesting a handshake. "Potions and stuff?" Epsilon giggled. "Don't worry, I don't really do anything. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I am looking into alchemy. Its the only thing I'd be willing to do besides cooking, but of course a girl knowing how to make a great meal is a stereotype."  She laughed at her own joke. 

Epsilon is currently wearing this, its not a normal dress, its armored, but the armor is well camouflaged:

Epsilon was wandering the first floor when she saw a message on a towns bulletin board. It read:

"Interesting, I've always wanted to go to an event like this. Now is my chance." Lindsey said with a hint of excitement in her voice. She began venturing toward the area it said they were supposed to meet at, it was a large building barely inside a safe zone. She curiously entered. They were long, decorative halls that lead to a large ball room, of course there was a bathroom and a smoking room, what kind of fancy rent-a-mansion doesn't have one of those? Lindsey entered the large ball room wearing her battle dress, mainly because she had no other clothes. "Greetings, I'm Epsilon, my friends call me Lindsey..." She said smiling. "Are you the one that sent the invite to meet here and socialize? It looks so, royal..." Lindsey said, astounded.

Lindsey was currently contemplating to herself wondering what the night would bring. She couldn’t sleep, she was restless, to many thoughts jumping around like a wildfire hitting a dry field of grass in her mind. Walking down the dimly lit streets of the town of new beginnings. It was unusually quiet, even for it being night, a game that started with over ten thousand people shouldn’t be this quiet. Unless Kayba decided to separate players onto different servers. She sighed, looking into the night sky, you can see where the skybox is bounding the virtual world, not allowing others to leave. Her orange gold eyes darting from star to star. Looking down, she noticed a man at a bench, he had black hair and a mask made out of some kind of thin clothes fabric looping around his head. She she was currently wearing her battle dress. A black and orange gold styled cloak with patterns running down the sides. She sat down at the bench next to him, looking around and noticing there were others nearby, two girls, and a man with, purple eyes. “Excuse me, do you know where I can find a cheap inn?” Epsilon asked politely towards the stranger.

(OOC: Sorry, some parts of my post are in different fonts, my device was acting weird.)

Epsilon was relaxing inside of a lounge that led into a Inn/Restaurant. She was currently inside the town of new beginnings, a bit tired, and she seemed fairly quiet, she tends to do this when she is thinking about several things at a time. Then she let out a long sigh, she was leaning against a wall, she through her head back and looked at the ceiling. She looked back down, and pushed herself off the wall, not enough to fall over though, just enough to lean a little bit further forward. Then she stepped off the wall, and approached a well cut indoor shrub. She delicately felt the leaves, it FELT smooth. She was impressed, what if this game was to be able to make you feel other things: Warmth, Sore, Cold, she didn't know, she hadn't made it far enough into the game to find that out. She only knew she couldn't feel pain, but that was it. She continued to stroke the shrubs leaves, admiring how it felt so real, it looked, so real. Epsilon liked discovering things, at least on her own. She wasn't someone who would want others to solve her mysterys for her.

Epsilon listened curiously about what Vigilon had to say. Future leader? Interesting, she had many times tried to join a guild, it never really worked out in the end, assuming thats what he spoke of, she found it humorous the way he spoke, almost as if saying, "We are a soon to be guild, come join."  When she heard him say enmities, she understood exactly what he meant, PKers, trying to make others vulnerable, then bam. Dead. "If I had to guess, people like that either do it for entertainment or power." She commented, playing with her hair, curling it in between fingers, she does this when she gets bored, ussally, bored or scared. Its a bad habit she used to get dreadlocks in the real world, because its a game, it didn't really matter, she figured there was no way she was getting out of this game alive, so she would do whatever she wants, justified or criminal. "I'll partake in the conversation. Untill it uninterests me." Epsilon looked at everyone in the group, the was a man wishing that drinks would make him drunk, in her opinion, its half alcohol and half brain power that makes people not so sober. Then there was a kind sounding red-head girl, along with another guy, whom hadn't introduced himself and finally, the only one she knew the name of, Vigilon. "Greetings, I'm Epsilon..." She said into the group, watching most everyones movements, ahe had a natural tendency to distrust others, and I mean, could you blame her?

Epsilon continued to listen, and realized she one of the players noticed she was listening, and asked if someone sent her to get info on them. She had no idea what this meant, who would want to know other players info, did they have enemies, if so how dangerous? Thousands of thoughts jumped throughout her head. Intriguing, if I truly was here to absorb information, I would be far more subtle about it, plus listening is all I need to become interested in the topic. Epsilon declared, she really wasn't her for anything involving spying, though she probably would be pretty good at it. I'm Epsilon. She continued, her voice sounding curious. ...and you are?

Epsilon was walking through the Town of New Beginnings, she found its atmosphere the perfect kind to think things over.  She was currently wondering what time it would be in the real world and if the time zone were the same in game and IRL. She passed a tavern and thought she could use a drink. She figured it would be an early birthday present to her. She walked inside and noticed a group of players wondering what to eat. Not sure if they were friends or not, she didn't approach them, she sat down at a bar stool, and ordered a shot. She then sat patiently waiting for what she ordered. This gave her more time to think, the only noises that came from her direction was an an occasional "Hmm...". She was always the strange calm type, always thinking, and speaking her mind. She naturally got bored and started eavesdropping on the other players conversations.

About/History:

Linsey Byrnne AKA Epsilon was fresh out of high school when SAO was released, she loved playing these games with her friends, but none of them owned the game yet, which made her sad that she couldn't play with them.She got the game pre-ordered on her birthday. After her party, her friends congratulated her on getting the game, and she went to play it. She lived with a family of five at the time, there was mom, dad, and her two younger siblings. She was a happy girl, she wasn't spoiled, but she was curious all the time, enough that one of her most used words are "Interesting...". She is strange. But she is easy to get used to. She can instantly derail someones argument with tactful comments and facts.

On the day she was trapped inside, she was web surfing, when a package arrived at her door. It was SAO! She was excited to play it. She cleaned up her apartment, did some chores. Then hopped into bed, placing the headset on her head. Suddenly her phone buzzed, she wanted to pick it up. She was responsible, but then again, she was so excited and had waited so long for this, she decided to answer it later, "Link. Start!" She said enthusiastically, this is the first time she hasn't been bored in days. What she didn't know, was that buzzing on her phone, it was her mother. After she didn't answer back, her mother called the police. The police found her in her bedroom, with nerve gear on. One of the officers picked up her phone, it was on messages. The most recent one was from her mother. It read: Lins! Have you seen the news! Don't put the nerve gear on! Even so, after a while of her getting trapped, her parents began blaming eachother for what happened. By the time she comes back, her family would have broken apart. She will have nothing to go back to.

Virtues:

1) Persuasive - Linsey is persuasive, she naturally had this trait. She can find the weakness in anyone's argument. Rerail it, and sometimes make it completely backfire on them. She also uses evidence, fact, and logic to do most of her arguments.

2) Smart  - Epsilon is smart, she knows what she is doing, she was a straight A students up untill her senior year of high school. She likes to use her intelligence to pick out people. Sort bad from good, and vice versa. 

3) Curious - Now, why is this a good thing? Well, the main reason she talks to anyone and explore's is because of this. She likes to satisfy her curiousity. For example, if there was a fork in the road, she would mentally mark that spot. Walk down one road, and eventually turn around and try the other.

Flaws:

1) Depression - Linsey has been this way sense day one of SAO. Knowing that if she might have answered her phone, she might not be here. Trapped, and doomed to die is the way she see's it. 

2) Bored - Epsilon is natural bored and uninterested in most everything. It was only for the first day of SAO, when she was hyped. But now, she has nothing to do, most people she talks to are bland, except for a select few.

3) Unmotivated - She is unmotivated, remember that thing I told you about "Trapped and doomed to die"? Well, this is why she is so unmotivated, she believes that no matter what, no one will escape the death game. So, this means she thinks crime is ok, any kind.
