Fuyuno

Fuyuno held her begging pose, only peeking a single eye open when she heard the woman vocally realize something. She saw as the redhead stood straight again, and when she offered her help Fuyuno was overcome with joy and relief; so much so that the girl's eyes lit up and a big, wide-open smile spread across her face. She understood me! She's going to help! Thank goodness I was able to make her understand! Newly filled with vigor once more, she stood straight up and grabbed one of the redhead woman's hands with both of her own, smiling brightly and nodding her head in confirmation. After holding her gaze for a moment, trying her hardest to convey her appreciation, she would step back a pace and hold her fists to her chest with another smile. I'm ready to go whenever you are!

Excited to get started, she wondered how her journey should begin once she returned to the first floor. The girl had never left the safe zone within the city before; she never got the chance to before the game was revealed to be deadly. Since she didn't know much about RPG games, she didn't really understand how to get stronger like the girl in front of her, but now she was driven to take the steps necessary to move forward. If she didn't do something, then there would be no way for her to explore the higher floors. She hoped that this more experienced player might be willing to help her, but she retracted that thought; She's already helping me a lot by getting me back down; I shouldn't expect more from her. I'll just have to figure it out on my own somehow!

When she heard the voice of the person that had approached her, Fuyuno raised her head from her knees to look up at the redheaded woman. With tears still streaming down her face, she stared blankly back at the woman with her mouth slightly agape. She looks so pretty! And strong!

After a moment, Fuyuno snapped back out of her thoughts and into the situation. She wiped away the tears that were streaking down her cheeks, although there were still more swelling up in her eyes. She then pointed towards the teleport gate, an expression like she was about to cry again adorning her face. After waiting to make sure that the redheaded woman leaning down above her saw where she was pointing at, Fuyuno then brought her hand back and crossed the index finger of both hands over her mouth. I have to use the teleport gate, but I can't speak! She hoped the woman would be able to understand, and had faith that the woman would help. To the effect, she softly clapped her hands together with her eyes shut tightly as if praying... or begging.

As Fuyuno raised her head after bowing to the player she had accidentally bumped into, her sight was met with a stunning sunshine. She had to cover her eyes with one hand for a moment while they adjusted to the higher amount of light, but once she could see clearly again she was stunned. She was now on a completely different floor from where she was, and as far as she could see ahead of her there was a gorgeous scene of mountain ranges; something she'd never seen before. After a moment of standing dumbfounded with her mouth hanging agape, her eyes suddenly lit up. She was suddenly full of excited energy, literally jumping up and down in place. Mountains! They're mountains! It's so cool! This floor is full of mountains! After her silent cheer, she started looking around the area excitedly. I wonder what kind of shops there are. They gotta have way different stuff from the first floor! I wanna explore! At this moment, she remembered how she felt when she first logged in to SAO, before the announcement that changed her life. After weighing things in her mind for a moment, she made her decision.

This place is so different, so amazing! I bet there's even more to see on other floors. I wanna see it all! I wanna explore again! That means... I gotta leave the city and learn to fight! She made this decision with renewed vigor, nodding her head with a serious expression and fists held close to her chest. It was at this point, however, that she made a sudden realization, and her face became pale with a wide-eyed, nervous expression. She slowly turned towards the teleport plaza as if dreading to confirm the natural conclusion to her thoughts. The teleport gate... NEEDS VOICE COMMAND! The girl's eyes welled up with tears as she stood in place, staring back at the teleport plaza. Before long she fell to her knees, unsure of what to do and frankly a bit scared. AaAah, I'm done for... I can't use the teleport gate, and if I can't use the teleport gate I can't get back to the first floor! With a sense of dread taking over her, Fuyuno crawled to the side of the plaza by the teleport gate, making sure she was out of people's way. Here, she curled up with arms wrapped around her legs and face buried into her knees as she cried silently, feeling helpless. Maybe I really should just give up... As she sat there crying on the curbside, she eventually heard a voice call out to her.

Hey, nice to meet y'all! I've been a fan of SAO for a long time, and absolutely love the SWE Abridged version xD I used to RP SAO on a now shut down SAO forum that was hosted on Proboards, but when I saw this place I really wanted to try again! So here we have a re-imagining of one of my old characters from the Proboards in the form of Fuyuno (she used to be called Yuki, but since that has been a popular name here I decided to tweak things a bit). I might eventually incorporate one of my other old characters, but for now I'm sticking with Fuyuno.

Personality

History

Born to loving parents, Miyuki was taught to be caring and helpful. She was always very expressive, growing up fairly sociable and trusting. She often chatted with random people excitedly, and formed bonds with others easily, even when she'd likely never see them again. Her parents did their best to teach her that not everybody was as honest and kind as she was, but she didn't understand what they meant. She believed that everyone had goodness in them because of how much she was accustomed to this behavior, as most people treated her sweetly. Even when kids her age were mean to her, it didn't take long for them to feel guilty and apologize in response to Miyuki's warm and caring reactions. All this solidified her viewpoint, so she never really understood the concept that anyone could be dishonest or inwardly wicked. Because of this, Miyuki loved talking to whoever would listen. That is, until something happened that scarred her for life.

Around the age of 6 she was finally given the chance to go on her first errand by herself. Her parents were a bit over-protective of her, which is why they waited until she was this old before letting her have this experience, despite how much she looked forward to it. Part of their concern stemmed from how trusting she was, which bordered on a blind level of gullibility. Even so, they agreed that they couldn't shelter her forever, and sent her on a simple grocery run. She was so excited that she couldn't help but share what she was doing with anyone that she passed by. At some point she happened by a kid she knew, and the two of them walked together, chatting excitedly. As they walked and talked, they eventually became engrossed in their conversation. They were so absorbed that they didn't realize they had begun crossing the street on a red signal until they heard the screeching of tired and the roar of a truck's horn honking. As soon as they were alerted of their impending danger, Miyuki simply froze, and her friend only had the time to push her out of the way before getting hit by the truck. The shock of everything, combined with the sight of her friend getting hit, caused her to lose consciousness, and by the time she woke again she was in the hospital. Shortly after she re-awoke, however, the memory of getting her friend hit came surging back, and she had a panic attack.

After a few days on anesthesia she woke again, but even after being made aware that her friend was alive and would recover with time, she blamed herself for it all. The truck had apparently slowed down enough to avoid doing anything more than a concussion and a couple of broken bones, but the fact remained to Miyuki that her friend had to suffer through severe injuries because of her. This mental burden and "survivor's" guilt weighed down on her, and she scarcely ever spoke again. After she was released from the hospital she didn't recover her cheeriness until well after her friend had recovered, but even then she wasn't quite the same and still refused to speak up to anyone verbally, terrified she might repeat her past mistake. Her concerned parents tried various methods to try to get her talking again, but nothing ever worked. That is, until an unorthodox method presented itself to them.

Miyuki's parents were avid gamers in their day, and had even met via an MMO they both played when they were younger. Naturally they introduced her to a few games as she grew up, but they had wanted to wait until she was a certain age before introducing her to online games. It was a few months before she was to turn 13 that the newest and hottest game on the market was brought to their attention; by the name of Sword Art Online. Filled with excitement that possibly a game that she could immerse herself in completely would be the key to easing her out of her trauma and help her move forward as she learned to coordinate with other players and make new friends. Not only that, when they noticed her watching the trailers herself her eyes seemed to glow with excitement. Being aware that the copies of the game would be limited, Miyuki's father took a day off work and waited in line to secure a copy. In order to keep Miyuki none the wiser, and because he also knew that the line would be long, Miyuki's father left early in the morning as if he were going to work and waited the entire time in order to secure her a copy. When he got home with game in hand, the two wasted no time in surprising Miyuki with her one-month early birthday present. Being gamers, they knew that the sooner she started in this new game with limited copies the less likely she'd get left behind and wind up having a bad experience. With this in mind, they helped her set up the NerveGear and connect to the game. When she spent so long inside the game Miyuki's parents felt relief, believing they had finally found something she could enjoy wholeheartedly. In all fairness they weren't wrong; she was absolutely mystified by the virtual world she found herself in. When they found out that it was a deathtrap and that she would likely never leave, however, they were overcome with shock and grief and it took all the willpower Miyuki's mother could muster not to break down into hysterics herself as she did her best to hold her husband back from rashly forcing the headset off their precious daughter, repeating how doing so would surely kill her, before the both of them broke down together and cried in each others' arms.

Story Thus Far

When Miyuki first logged into SAO, using her family name as a username since it was what she was used to being addressed as by strangers, she was taken with excitement and wonder. The world of the game was nothing like the real world, and she couldn't wait to look around. She started by exploring around the city she spawned in, «The Town of Beginnings». Because there was so much to see, she hadn't managed to explore outside the city by the time the entire player-base were forcefully teleported to the city plaza by Kayaba Akihiko. When Fuyuno heard the man state that the game would kill them in real life if they died in-game and that they wouldn't be allowed to leave, she completely broke down. The girl became so overcome with fear and grief that she shut herself away for a long time, barely doing any exploring or anything for fear for her life.

Eventually, the news that other players were successfully progressing the game in an effort to free everyone had reached her. Fuyuno was curious and in awe of these people's bravery, but still was too afraid to go anywhere. One day, she heard passerby players raving about how beautiful one of the higher floors was, which caught her attention. The thought bugged her mind for some time, until she finally decided she wanted to see the floor she had heard about. There was only one problem; using the teleport gate required her to speak up, which she still wasn't ready to do. Fuyuno didn't realize this at first, and tried to use it on her own. Obviously it didn't work, but when other players came in to use the teleporter, she ended up bumping against someone as they were teleporting to the 20th floor, resulting in her getting pulled along for the ride.

Upon exiting the teleportation, Fuyuno spun around and bowed to the other player in apology, but they left her without much consideration. Upon raising her head again, her eyes were flooded with the gorgeous sight of towering mountain ranges and pleasantly bright sunshine. The girl's eyes were practically sparkling with wonder and excitement as she wanted to explore it all, her vigor reignited after so long. She decide then that she wanted to explore the areas of this game while it was online and experience everything she could. After a moment of gazing at the scenic landscape, however, she remembered her problem; she was now stuck on this floor with no means of escape. There was no way Fuyuno could survive higher floors like this, and since the teleport gate required voice command she was effectively stranded. As she sat at the plaza feeling helpless and stuck, she heard the voice of another player call out to her, and was stunned by the sight of a redheaded beauty... [TBC]

Nvm, this inquiry was resolved by mods in the Discord chat

Hi, I'm new to this site (although not new to RPing or to SAO). I'm aware that one needs to fill out a Journal and post it for review before the character is officially allowed to post, but I was wondering if the info I put into my account is supposed to match the character journal or if it's supposed to be OOC info. Also, I've noticed that some members have signatures containing all their character stats in traditional SAO format and was wondering if someone specifically designed those for them (and where I can go to request one) or if I had to design it myself. Thank you all for your time in readying my query ^-^
