Aeolus

Imagine being stranded in a place where there was no water, no shelter, little to no food and just endless sand for as far as they eye could see. That was exactly what was happening to Viktor. Floor five, being an endless mess of sand and sun and dry heat... The very heat that seeped into your bones and caused the back of your neck to grow damp with sweat glistening on the skin. Viktor was hot, tired and thirsty. He felt the exhaustion truly seeping into his skin, why he thought it would have been a good idea to wander in the desert without a purpose, he had no idea. But somehow, he had wandered through the desert and made his way to a new town. He had forgotten that he had a map he could have easily pulled up. Somehow, he had made his way to that very town. The very town with a ton of shade, and water to share. Viktor didn't even have the energy to crawl to the water however, let alone walk. Instead, his body began to sway... His eyes falling on a familiar face, at least it seemed familiar.. He was so out of it at this point...

As he reached closer, his body fell.. The man had obviously seen Viktor coming up, and right as he was about to hit the floor he had caught him. Viktors eyes fluttered closed, as he passed out in Solei's arms. 

That was that, Aeolus wanted to meet and talk to the man that had caught his eyes a couple of minutes prior. Aeolus nodded his head towards Hazado, "I'll let you know when i'm going swimming.. I'm gonna go talk to that guy I noticed earlier." He flashed his toothy, lighthearted grin. His feet drawing him straight to @Solei and the people that were surrounding him. He had walked up at the perfect time, Solei was acting all embarrassed, his face flushed. He was rather cute looking, the closer Aeolus got to Solei, the more attractive he found him. Aeolus glanced at the people around, clasping his hands together.

His warmhearted grin flashed across his facial features yet again, "Mind if I join in on this conversation?" His eyes were twinkling as he spoke to the group surrounding Solei. He scratched the back of his neck. "The name is Aeolus, by the way." 

Aeolus watched Hazado do his thing from the distance. He grinned as he came back, a lot dryer than he had been. "The ocean water is rather calming if I do say so myself." Swimming is a lot different than ice skating... Aeolus kept his eyes on Hazado, "So if Sunova isn't your significant other, do you have one?" He plucked a flower from his flower crown, then he began to twist it in between in index and middle finger. All while keeping an eye on Solei out of the corner of his eye, at the same time looking at Hazado.

"I can go first, i'm actually single. I have never had a boyfriend." Aeolus would face palm himself if he didn't want to keep his "cool". Good going, Viktor. You totally just dropped the fact that you had found both him and Solei attractive. Aeolus internally cursed himself out, while at the same time maintaining his cool outward.

Aeolus grinned wider, clasping his hand around Hazado's. "Seems that the girl wants you in the competition. Are you two an item?" Aeolus was testing the waters, for sure. A handsome man, a lovely lady friend~ Besides, what better way to get to know someone than to ask of their relationship status? Either way, Aeolus was ready to be Cinderella. 

Aeolus replied to Hazado's talk of fun, "The ocean is definitely fun. Would you want to go swimming after the swimsuit runway with me? I brought a beach ball." He stuck out his tongue. He wanted to have fun, get wet and make friends. 

He nodded his head, "That lady friend of yours can join us too." Aeolus saw a flash of blue-ish hair? He pointed at the figure, "Do you know who that is?" He's actually a looker... Aeolus couldn't take his eyes off him, but shook his head, focusing back on Hazado. "What do you like most about the ocean?" His eyes blinked. Don't make it obvious, dear lord Viktor. @Hazado @Solei

The beach party. Something that Aeolus had been wanting to do for quite some time now. Ever since he had heard about it on floor one. The info broker that had come to him with no recon of who she was or what she wanted. He had paid to get the information on what floor it was because he wanted to go more than anything.

So there was Aeolus, floor twenty four. His silver hair glistening in the sun. He had a pair of shades on, and was carrying a beach ball. Yet... He knew no one.. That didn't let him down, however. His feet instantly moving to make contact with someone he didn't know. His personality only aiding him in his adventure to seek out new friends. His goofy grin lining his face. His eyes landed on a tall, handsome fellow. @Hazado. He walked right on up to him, waited his turn to speak and stuck out his hand. "The name's Aeolus~" The man was drenched in water already... "Did the fun start without me?"

Aeolus' Swimwear

Once Aeolus was done with his bag of sweets he watched as Waffles reached fora  sucker up on the counter. Aeolus let out a soft chuckle as Waffles continued to reach, "It's okay." He ruffled the hair of Waffles once more before grabbing the sucker for Waffles. His eyes widened as Waffles hugged him. He hugged the kid back, chuckling as Waffles sat down, instantly placing his mouth around the lollipop. Sucking on it and enjoying the taste.

Aeolus walked up to the counter, keeping one eye on Waffles at all times. He placed some col on the counter, "To pay for this bag and that lollipop." Then he walked back to waffles, "Let's move back outside, best not sit in the middle of the shop." He would then proceed to hold out a hand for Waffles to take so they could head back outside together. Aeolus couldn't deny the charm that Waffles had, being a kid sucking on a lollipop and all.

Aeolus couldn't help but chuckle at the kid, "Nice to meet you Waffles." As he listened to the kid try and say his name he grinned, "It's A-O-Lus, but if you can't pronounce it, that's okay." He watched as the kid skipped ahead to the window of the sweets shop, "How about this, you can pick out ten kinds of your choice." Aeolus didn't think he'd be babysitting today, not that he minded at all, the kid was rather cute and made Aeolus remember how he was when he was a kid. 

"What about that one?" He pointed to a very sweet looking candy, before opening the door to allow the kid to go and fill his arms with candy. I wonder where his parents are and if they came into Aincrad with him.. I'll be sure to ask later, for now.. Let's get some candy. Aeolus himself went over to his own favorite candy, no matter what they ate here in Aincrad, they never gained weight. Something he was happy about. He filled a small brown paper bag with the sweet hard candies that he had taken a liking to and watched Waffles roam around the shop.

Aeolus bent down to scoop up one of the many flowers in the bed in front of him. A soft pink daisy now being twiddled around in his fingertips as a young boy approached him. "Hey mister, wanna get me some cannies?" Aeolus glanced downwards as the child was quite shorter than himself. Aeolus smiled warmly at the child, "You want some candies?" His gaze now returning up as he scanned the area surrounding him, seeking out a shop that would sell the very sweets that the child craved. Once his eyes landed on a shop, he nodded his head in that direction, "What's your name kid?" Aeolus figured he might as well get to know the kid that had been blunt enough to ask a stranger for some candies.

Aeolus also wanted to know what a kid such as (Waffles) was doing alone out on the streets, I know floor one is safe, but really? Unattended? He doesn't look like he leaves the town either... Aeolus grinned, ruffling his left hand in the kid's rusty brown mane of a hair. "My name is Aeolus. That's pronounced A-O-Lus." He continued to play with the pink tinted daisy in his right hand.

The masses of the public, NPC and player alike were always strewn and littering the first floor. To everyone's own expectations, the players that never worked a day in their life out in the fields would take refuge in this city. How they made their own living, doing just that was unseen by those that worked each and every day. It took one that experienced the same thing as those choosing to live out their lives in this very city of beginnings for one to truly understand the struggle it was to live day by day in the taverns and inns that dotted each street. Aeolus was definitely not one of the people that would not have worked a day in their own lives.

He would never mix himself with the people that sat by day by day, indoors, away from the dangers of the outside world, no.. Aeolus actually spent almost every day up on floor four.. At least he had gone to that floor every day after the masses of the front lines had cleared the boss that had taken up its domain on that very floor. The Crimson Dragon had put up a fight, but thanks to the likes of Asen, Shark and Zelrius the floor had been cleared. What a small party to have taken out a boss, these days we have more than a dozen.. At least that's what the rumors say.. 

Aeolus had to admit he was pretty much the same as everyone that stuck in the starting town of floor one, minus the fact that he didn't actually stick to the starting town. He stayed in the Starglades. It wasn't too far from Frostbite Lake which made it easiest for him to go back and forth. He always spent his time skating on the ice, with some handy shoes he had a blacksmith make for him. His days were well spent, practicing for when he got back to the real world.. Two years had passed, and Aeolus knew that his competitive seasons were over. A figure skater's body only lasted for a bit.. At least in the game, he could practice without feeling worn out or tired. Lots of Non Player Characters would stop by and offer him some extra Col for performing for them. 

That was how Aeolus had started the ice skating performance that he held once a month, the same day every month. It was how he kept track of how long it had been since the launch of the game. Despite how much he loved ice skating, Aeolus figured that it was about time for him to take on the track of ranking up in the levels to help beat the game that Kayaba had created, for god knows why. That was why he was back on floor one. His player handbook that was near-impossible to read, due to the condition it was in, in his hands. He was making his way over to the merchant NPC that would teach them their trades. Merchant sounds nice enough.. After this I can go out and do those tutorial quests i've been meaning to do.

Biography: 
♕ Viktor was born in Moscow, Russia. At a young age he took to the ice and learned how to ice skate. By the age of sixteen he was already at the top of the figure skating world. His home rink was in Moscow, Russia. Viktor continued his path on the ice, winning numerous European championships, five consecutive World Championships, and five straight Grand Prix finals. Viktor is definitely a gold-medalist kind of man, he wants only the best.

One of his favorite sayings is, "Nothing beats kissing a gold medal." Viktor was never really one to play video games, but when word got out of the Sword Art Online, he couldn't help but want to try it out. Maybe there were ice ranks that he could practice on in the game? Nevertheless, Viktor went to Norway, buying a house there and bought a hard copy of the game. He plugged it in, and that was when his adventure in Aincrad began.
