Pisces

They had decided to gang up on him, and he was kind of disappointed in the situation. He knew he was being a little cocky, but her calling him out on it got on his nerves just a little. “I never said I was a smarty pants.” He says, holding his hands up and sitting up. “A good dose of humility is good, that’s no lie. But it’s much more fun to have these conversations.” He says. “Besides, nothing I said was said without a doubt.” He explains before standing up and looking around for a moment and finding nothing. “Think about it this way, this is a discussion, I’m putting in my two cents whether they’re right or wrong.” He says, before sitting down again on the ground. “I don’t claim to be an expert in anything, just saying what I think the truth is.” He explains, before the slightly annoying kid in the back starts spewing more useless knowledge and then Pisces looks at her. Astralin gives her explanation and Pisces nods. “I agree with her. It’s not impossible, just very difficult.”

Playing with the grass beneath him, he looks at Astralin. “You’re right on the other thing too, I could use a little humility.” He says, twiddling the blades of green. The admittance was embarrassing to say the least, but he still had the maturity to not back down or try and hide.

Xander listens closely as Astralin explains her theory and he thinks to himself for a moment. I totally forgot blue was a part of the rainbow. Then it hits him, he wasn’t necessarily wrong. “So what you’re saying is... Indigo is blue and purple.” He looks at her with a playful smirk, and then looks back around to look for materials. “So what you’re saying is, Indigo is between purple and blue on the light spectrum.” He explains for a moment, and then looks back at the ground. “I wasn’t wrong, I was just less right.” He smiles playfully at the two and sits on the ground.

When the two ladies yawn, he follows suit. Then her rambling continues and Pisces drops his head back, laying on the ground watching the sky between the trees. “Well my theory for the eyes watering is your eyelids keep your eyes from getting dry, and when you yawn you blink a few times. Your eyelids over hydrate your eyes and they water.” He says, looking at them. “But I’m an electrical engineer, so what do I know?” He smiles as he shuts his eyes and waits on the ground.

Xander looks her in the eyes, her question had caught him off guard and he turns a faint red. Way to go just asking that out of a blue. He looks down at the table, thinking more to himself than anything else.

What about all those times I showed her my comics and she was the only person who appreciated them. What about all the jokes I made to her and she laughed every time. Do I want to stick around her all the time, even though we won’t be truly married? Is it worth the col and the time to be her husband. What if we fall in love with other people? What if one of us decided it’d be cool to go off on our own? What then? Can marriage really be the best option if there is more than one? How can I trust her to have my back this time? How can I trust that she won’t just watch as I get beat down into the ground again?

His face moves to her, he smiles for a moment. The most exciting lives aren’t lived carefully, and the only way to know if something is the right decision... He looks her up and down obviously as he sips on his chocolate milk. A playful smirk replaces the smile from before as he looks her dead in the eyes and leans in real close. “Not even gonna get on one knee?” He asks almost seductively, pulling back and finishing his drink.

“Why hello Pleue, such a creative name. I’m Pisces.” He smiles, keeping on walking. Pisces listened closely, trying to follow the explosion of more information he didn’t entirely ask for, when suddenly she brings up rainbows and the colors, Xander laughs and looks at the two girls. “Indigo and Violet are on the same end of the spectrum, a rainbow being the entire visible light spectrum means that Indigo and Violet aren’t so different. Indigo is a more bluish purple meanwhile Violet is a much more pure purple.” He says, walking through town and towards the gate, the edge of town coming into view rather quickly while Xander holds onto his thought. Once the reach the edge of the town, Xander steps out into the field, bending down and looking for a plant to see if he can find a material for the quest. “That means that Indigo and Violet are both purple, but more specific. The only reason we see them as different is because they are opposite sides of purple.” He smiles back at the two, standing up and walking further.

@Pleue @Astralin

Xander looked at the super tall bartender and looked him in the eye and with a deadpan expression uttered two words. Those two words that could send any man into a fit of nostalgia comparable to seeing your favorite toy. “Chocolate milk.” He says, all serious like and turns to Lana, “You pick the seat, I’ll grab the drinks.” He says, smiling at her. Roger reaches down and grabs the milk, pouring Xander a glass, and he grabs a sweet drink for Lana pouring it in front of the man. “You’re a cute couple.” Roger compliments the pair and Xander smiles, looking over at the girl. “We’re not a couple... but to be honest, I wouldn’t mind a little more action with her.” He winks, grabbing the drinks and walking over to the girl and sitting down.

Upon sitting, he looks at her and raises an eyebrow. “So what’d you wanna talk about?” He asks, taking a drink from his glass. The flavor full and sweet fills his mouth and euphoria sets in, like his childhood had been summed up in one sweet flavor and shoved down his throat in the most beautiful fashion possible. Utter sweetness.

The younger girl drops a large amount of information in a very short amount of time, and Xander feels a bit overwhelmed. She explained so much that he didn’t ask about and then she started spewing more facts and to be honest the man was a tad bit annoyed. “We’re going to do the quest to get the alchemy profession.”  He answers politely as he walks down the stairs. Suddenly Astralin, the older girl calls out to him, explaining that he was going the wrong way. Xander stopped, she was right. The NPC was that way, but Xander had already grabbed the quest and was headed to do it when he saw them. “Oh, yeah you’re right.” He smiles innocently walking back up the stairs and over to the girl. “Lead the way ma’am.” He chuckles rubbing the back of his hair. Ugh, I gotta walk all the way back over to the lady and talk to her again? Man...

Once they started moving, Xander would walk behind them and pay attention to the world they passed as they moved. Why was everyone in such a rush to escape? Of course there was the whole die here die in real life thing, but that was true in real life. This world was way more fun than the real one, and Xander wouldn’t get jumped for standing up to bullies here either.

Maybe this world is too unrealistic.

@Pleue @Astralin

“Well Hi Li- A-Astralin!” He smiles brightly, making a joke about how she almost said her real name. “What’s it like French or something?” He asks, walking towards the stairs he climbed up to greet the lady. A new person had introduced herself and Xander smiled. “Ooh, a newbie. What’s that you’re talking to? Looks like a cuttlefish to me.” He says, smiling like he knows more about the subject. Keeping it in a jar that small’s gotta suck for the little guy. He reaches out to shake the younger girl’s hand and chuckles a bit. “The weather’s great today, but nothing’s better than a good drink on a fine day like this one.” He puts his hands into his pockets and starts walking towards the town exit. “We should get a move on if we want to get this done before the end of the day.” He says to the ladies before walking on.

@Pleue

She had something to talk to him about? What the? Why would she say something like that? She knows I’m not one for the serious business talks. He smiles brightly as he follows her back towards the town. The whole time he watched the sway of her steps and only every now and then looked at where he was going. He didn’t mind if he tripped over something, the view was worth it. As the neared the town, her outfit changed to a much less conservative cover, meanwhile he stayed in his formal outfit. He rockets up in front of her and stops in front of her. “Drinks would be nice, but I just want some chocolate milk. I’m a simple man, gotta enjoy the small things in life.” His sword spins and his handle points to the girl. The curved bottom end makes for a perfect hook as he pulls up the skirt on her outfit and rockets around to take a quick look.

He spins the hilt of his broken sword and sheathes his weapon once more, pushing her on the back. “Let’s go, I wanna eat something.” He smiles walking behind her once again, arriving at the tavern and walking inside. He looks up at the tavern keep and smiles, “So what’s on the tap ol’ chap?” He asks the tall man and the tall man looks down. “The name’s Roger, and we don’t serve alcohol until later. No point, but we gotta keep up with real world regulations so as not to forget.” He returns, setting an empty glass in front of the boy.

Xander had made his way into the town of beginnings once again. His sword on his back and his formal outfit made him look like a fancy man, but contrary to their conceptions, he was far less than fancy. As he ran through the town he did flips and tricks until he spots a girl. Doing all this work made him want to sit in a tavern and take a fine drink. He laughs a little, pulling himself up the stairs to greet the woman. “Why hello there. I’m Pisces.” He smiles, reaching out to shake her hand. “I’m on my way to try and get that alchemist profession, I wanna open a tavern. Wanna come with me?” He asks, pointing at his face with his thumb.

He turns to start walking and looks back to see if she follows. She seems like someone who could be cool, but until I get to adventure with her I don’t know. He smiles at the thought of a new adventure.

@Pleue

Xander smiles as her reaction shows just confusion, and she manages to land her next attack. He looks at her and flips his sword out, “Why do you just use your hands? It seems like it’s more dangerous to do that than actually just duel the strongest player around.” He slashes at the boar, coming up short again. “I know you don’t have the Martial arts skill.” He says, jumping up over to the other side of the boar right as it starts charging towards his friend again. The collision gets engrained in his mind, watching her get hit again broke his little tiny heart and yet he couldn’t help but smile. Landing naturally with his hands in his pockets and his sword on his back he sits on a rock, resting his chin on his knees with a bright smile.

”Why do I bring a healer if she’s the one who needs healing?” He asks sarcastically, looking up at her health bar in the corner of his screen. They’d been in a party for so long it’s just always been up there. A good way to keep tabs on a friend. She’s really good at taking hits though... “Hey Lana, do you wanna... maybe... I don’t know...” he looks down at the ground, feigning embarrassment and looking up from the corner of his eye. “Buy me dinner?” His smile crosses his face once more as he holds out a thumbs up towards her.

Xander laughed as she attacked first, missing by just a little. His hand climbed up and he drew his broken blade from behind his back. “Next time aim for the damn thing.” He spins, taking a wild slash at the beast, missing narrowly himself as his smile disappears. “Close, but no cigar.” He smiles making taunting faces at the tiny creature. The creature charges and he moves out of the way, but it hits the girl behind him. “Maybe fighting back to back isn’t a good idea with two enemies like this.” He jokes innocent. It’s black fur combined with it’s tusks made it a scary creature to mess with. Xander was sure he could handle them, especially considering how big and weak they were. Made for an easy target and easy to kill.

He appears to be having a tad bit too much fun as he almost dances, waiting for her to attack again so he can show her up. “Careful, these things might hurt ya.” He looks at the boar and a little quieter says, “I wouldn’t though... I’d go real easy on ya.” A small chuckle can be heard from his direction. It’s not that she couldn’t hear what he said but rather that he didn’t want her to know he wanted her to hear. Let’s see her reaction.

Xander walked out of the main area in the Town of Beginnings, looking around for the player he knew from the real world. Spotting her silver hair, he walks over to her and puts on a fake smile. “Here you go Lana.” He hands her a sandwich, sitting on a bench next to her. “Eat up, we’ve got some hunting to do. The durability is low too, so make it quick.” He says, taking a bite of his sandwich. Listening to the players around him while he eats, the man looks deep in thought, hearing their every word. One makes a comment about the nearest hunting grounds and a smile places itself on his face.

”Too late.” He grabs her hand and takes off running in one direction, making his way towards the area the player had mentioned. The gate placed itself into his view and his smile only grew. “We have to get more stuff to become stronger.” He says, jumping down the stairs and landing on the ground, stumbling a little. He smiles and keeps running towards the area someone had brought up.

@Alana

Profile
Username: Pisces
Real name: Alexander Pine
Age: 20 -22
Gender: Male
Height: 5’8”

Appearance: An average height for a man makes it much easier to be muscular, so Xander took advantage of that and got as fit as he could be while trying to be able to hide it. Some people can get so annoying when they find out you are of a certain body type. His medium blonde hair has been compared to that of a king, and his green eyes hint at his Irish Heritage.

About: History/personality
Alexander wasn’t an outgoing person in his early years. In elementary school he just sat in the corner and would draw funny comics making fun of his teacher. Every now and then he would show his stories to the girl who sat next to him in class, but after a few months their teacher switched up seats and the two barely spoke after that. Xander would still draw every day, refining his art skills and mastering his shading to draw incredibly realistic pictures. He would often sketch the people in his class to practice, but would often be disappointed by the outcome. His art was never bad, but to him it was horrible and he would throw it away, crumpled up to the point that it would fill the trash can in his class.

His art teacher found his drawings and spoke to him after school, admiring his work and telling him to keep practicing and maybe join the art club. After a week of thinking Xander told his teacher no, and that he had other things to do.

Alone and having no friends meant to different thing to the boy. He was happy being the only one at his table during lunch, not playing tag on the play ground. Not having anyone to ask him what he’s drawing, interrupting him and throwing him off. But having no one to talk to meant no distractions from the world around him. He always felt like he was on the outside, like he would never truly know anything about anyone unless he changed who he was entirely. The loneliness soon set in for the boy. He would watch on the playground every day as some kids would play tag, some would play red rover. The monkey bars had some kid on top thinking he was king of the world, and then there was one group. This group stuck out and made him wonder why the people in this world were free to do as they please. Would people always test the limits of others? After months of watching her get treated like crap, Xander had seen enough. He stood up and made his way across the playground, grabbing the biggest kid and head butting him right in the jaw, and he went out like a light. However, the boys who didn’t run, the biggest kid’s friends, wouldn’t be taken by surprise after that, and they started beating Xander senseless. Between the blood and the fists, he could see her just watching, she didn’t even try to get help while he was beaten to a pulp before her eyes.

Fast forward a few years and Xander had made it to high school. Not much had changed except some kids from his old school called him hammerhead Xander every now and again. He was still a lonely guy, practicing drawing and avoiding the girls he thought were pretty. He barely spoke to Alexandria, knowing not much more about her than her name, but he actually eventually busted out of his shell Junior year. He had gotten a girlfriend, that went sour. He made a group of friends that decided he wasn’t really a part of. Through all of this he would just smile and take the hits, just like that day. He would suffer through and keep trying to make friends as the world went on, his pain was just a temporary setback to him.

Fast forward a few more years and Xander’s in college now. He went all the way to Japan to study in electrical engineering. He wanted to invent something new, so he could make a lot of money and help his family through some of the tougher spots. After about two years of being in college, he heard of one of the most magnificent feats of Engineering out there, and wanted one to see if he could maybe replicate it to make a similar device. Upon entering the game, he made an avatar with an edgy look to him, but he kept his luscious blonde hair and his muscular build. Soon after though, his hair turned back into it’s short form and he was just like he was from the real world, and everyone was panicking. He just looked at the mirror in his hands and smiled. Just another hit.

As everyone rushed out to level up and find new gear, Xander walked through the town taking it easy and noticing a familiar face. One he hadn’t wanted to see since that day in school. Alexandria...
Virtues:

Kind - After he was beat down by those kids in the school, he quickly learned that even though you might get hurt, being nice is the best route. After her saved her, the teachers gave him tons of snacks and suspended the kids who beat him to a pulp while she watched. He did however, get detention for knocking a kid out in school, and that stung a bit, but he managed to get over it.

Loyal - Despite being left by so many people, Xander will still stick around and even stand up for someone he likes. He stood up for the girl because she made his day every time she laughed at his comics and he would stand up for her again. Of course, this time he might be a little more reluctant to stand against a group of people so much bigger than him again, but he would do it.

Brave - There’s a reason he was called hammerhead Xander, mostly because he would use a signature headbutt at the beginning of every fight he was in, but also because he would fight people even twice his size, like the sharks where he got his name from. He would see someone being a prick and walk up and pull his same stunt every time. Sometimes he got suspended, sometimes he only got detention. Usually though, he would get in tons of trouble but still come out the hero.

Flaws:

Audacious - Being Brave has it’s boundaries though, before it becomes a problem. Nothing like rules or fear stop the boy, especially not the latter. There are a few rules he would never break, but they usually have to do with loyalty rather than the safety of others or himself. Had he not been so audacious, he wouldn’t have gotten beaten so mercilessly that day, but he doesn’t regret his decision in the slightest either.

Childish - Xander has a tough time taking things seriously, mostly due to the fact that he’s a boy. Just like his ilk, growing up happens at slower rates than most, but they all learn to be adults at some point, just hasn’t happened for Xander yet. Of course, there are limits to his immaturity, but he still will make jokes and try to break the tension before it gets there as best he can.

Perverted - Every boy makes dirty jokes, and a lot of the time they can be made in poor taste, Xander is an expert at both. He is known to take said jokes a step too far, but not far enough to be creepy, just enough to enjoy a little shouting. Often making these jokes towards women, the shouting can be heard through the alleys and streets they walk down, and he knows exactly what he’s doing. Why live in a world where you can’t tell such jokes? That’s a worse hell than being trapped in a game and risking dying.
