Ueno Yukio

How the hell can someone be cocky when she was behind him? He had double the amount of materials she had and needed one more to head back. Contemplating the situation, he moved toward another side of the area away from her. Her stupidity was starting to rub off on him. Her vulgar tongue tried to draw him into a trap and he wasn’t going to allow that to happen. “Don’t be an idiot. Did you graduate school? I’m ahead of you and here you are running your mouth. “ He shook his head.

He glanced around but found nothing. He needed to stay away from the brat incase she had more bad luck willing to float his way. His movements began to head toward a different region of the forest that contained the same plant life. She was going to be by herself and he wasn’t going to run to her aid if she started screaming for help.  

4/5 Materials

Whelp. That was all he needed to hear. He made his way back to where he was. “Later.” He waved again and moved out of sight once more. He didn’t see any materials on his way to the next spot. She annoyed him pretty well. The only reason why he came back was because he didn’t want her death to haunt him.  He glanced from area to area looking for a material he didn’t see thus far.

His mind drifted slightly about her. What were the odds that she would be here to harass him like any other? This was indeed a cruel joke and he shouted. “Don’t go looking for herbs near trees, they have insects. “ He turned a corner of a tree an looked to see if there were anymore materials for him to collect.  He was determined to beat her since they kinda knew each other from before.

4/5 materials

Was this really happening? Was this a dream? Was the queen ACTUALLY asking for assistance? Oh, there was no way he was going to pass this up. He picked up the bug and shooed it away from her. He placed it on the ground but also it walked by a material. He picked it up and looked at her. Was she always this tiny? He hadn’t really paid attention but he leaned on his hammer watching her. “So. Bugs huh?” This would be embedded in his memories for the rest of his life.

The tough exterior had all but disappeared from her. This was her vulnerable part that he wanted to see. Not some stuck up princess who wanted to use her heels like a damn weapon. “You need a bodyguard? Since you know, we be in the woods and all. Another bug might make you its meal.” It was a smart ass comment but also sort of a serious question for her to choose yes or no from.

4/5 Materials Gathered

He leaned over and found another material herb that was identified for what was needed to be collected. Her words that she stuttered did her no favors as he hummed walking around. The materials were starting to get easier to find for him as he found her come back nonexistent. It was fun. But also embarrassing. If she knew he had looked her up on his phone back in the day to figure out how she was, it’ be embarrassing as all creation. She’d never find out.

Her yelling caused him to flinch. War Hammer was drawn out immediately and he came back looking to see what possibly could of attacked her. “. . .” A bug. It was a damn bug that she was screaming at. A sigh escaped his lips as he stared at her for a moment. He came back to save her but this was dumb. It was hardly noteworthy for him to come back.

3/5 Materials

She sure had some bark in her even after finally finding her first material. He shook his head slightly. A sore loser she was. “You know, some people actually have a little back up when they talk. You found one. I’m sure every kindergartener child is going to be terrified of an oompa Loompa finally finding something worthwhile.” He casted a gaze upon her. He realized there was nothing around here for him to find so he made his way inland a bit.

“I find your attitude… lacking. You like to act like Miss Prissy when those cameras are rolling but quite vulgar when no one is around you save me of course. Everyone’s thinking of a way to get out of here and they don’t get a chance to look at you.” He looked at her with a grin on his face. “But you’ll be number two in my book.” He tilted his head as he waved goodbye to another area.

That failed material beside her was now his. He marched up and snatched that so fast. Four eyes huh? Least he could see the damn thing. “Well. Would you look at that…”He tucked it into his inventory before waking away from her to the sound or running water. “What was that again? Second?” He gave her the finger as he walked away. “You can be number one. Just like now.” He wasn’t laughing or snickering. His voice was cold and unmoving as he spoke to her. There was no sass that some people would hear. His tone was almost unnerving as they continued on with their little competition.

He ran fingers through his black hair and squatted down looking for more materials closer to the water side. Those alchemic herbs would need a source of water to grow on top of good sunlight. Meet Yukio. Gathering expert. Finding things was always something he was good at. Unlike a certain someone he knew.  

2/5 Materials found

The look on her face was absolute money for him. The fact that he was able to catch ahead of her made him grin from ear to ear. He was too busy paying attention to her that he sort of half assed looking for another one. It failed, of course, but the sweet little victory of him finding one before her made him still as ecstatic. “You should try to find it with your face closer to the ground. It’d probably be easier that way. “He mocked. Seeing her fail brought joy for some reason. It was only a material quest but to him this was priceless.

As far as he could remember, the game they played before she was a shit show of a leader. Always making certain things happen all because she had some flair and the ability to get players to come to her because she had status. Ugh. That irked his entire being as he moved away from her.

Materials 1/5 Gathered 

She was pure tragedy in his eyes. The thought of her trying to get under his skin. It seemed to work, however, as she ran ahead of him. They had already made it out the open gates and she turned to wave at him. But when she did, he had waved right back with a material in his hand. A slight grin crossed his face as the wave continued. What a joke. “Maybe you should actually open your eyes and pay attention instead of trying to be a dumbass 90 percent of the time. This isn’t a joke here… Moron.” He went to the other side of the area.

Avoidance was needed. She was going to cause him to get a rash and she was the only one who could do it. Her pompous attitude, egocentric megalomaniac, and her grinding voice were all too much for him. He would pity her boyfriend in reality. Or was it a paid escort. Who knew… or really who cared? He continued his merry gathering without her. Of course, it didn’t’ stop her from following him either.

1/5 Gathered

Annoyance level 9000. This had to be punishment for either not giving that man money or watching YouTube at work when he had completed his project for the next 3 months. Stay on the left? Really? "Except, I don't listen to you?" He remarked. There was nothing tying him to her other than the fact she had a cute figure and regrets already were made when he made that comment to the magazine that asked him about her. Of course, he couldn't say she was a limelight hog. No, he had to say she was cute to save face of the question. 

His strides were longer than her speed walking. Why the hell were they even competing with each other. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed childish especially since she was around. "I realize you are compelled to act like you are a cut above the rest, but too bad. You are just like me."He made a heart with his hands and put them together for her, then suddenly stuck his middle fingers at her. "I don't  care what side you are on. Just finish the damn quest so we don't have to deal with each other." 

 For god sakes, she was doing the same quest at the same time. The odds couldn’t of been more in the favor of him having bad luck. If he was a betting man, he’d bet against himself. Figures it would have her in this game. The word four eyes just made him shake his head. Her demeanor was childish and it just struck a chord with him that this was actually happening.

He didn’t say anything as the NPC began talking to him about the quest details. Seeing her change her personality like that seemed like schizophrenia to him. The ability to turn off and on that so called ability. When he had that ability, it as just to fake it to get out of confrontation. She did this for a damn living. He pressed both fingers up to the bridge of his nose to rub it slightly. This was going to be a long day.

When the details were done, he walked out immediately without saying another word. Being confined with her made death seem more befitting for him. Even better was that they had to look for the ingredients at the same picking site. Great. Might as well smash his face in and knock him out until next day so he could focus on doing it by himself. “Stay in your lane.” He spoke to her.

You? Did someone just refer to him as you? The door hadn’t opened yet but he heard rustling. His head turned slowly and there she was. She was a cute thing. Very cute. Except she had a personality like a squash. He lowered his glasses a bit and then pushed them back up his face. “The fact that the game developers got your dimensions correctly is nothing short of a miracle, you midget.” He shook his head and waited staring at the door. He wasn’t going to interact more than he had to with her. Blackened orbs just kept staring at the door awaiting for it to swing open.

The door did open and he gave her the finger walking into the home. Shit. He thought. He knew that she was here for a reason and that reason was for their initial quest. Please don’t do this to me fate…He thought in his head as he felt her drill her eyes into the back of his head. He did not enjoy this at all. To spend his time in a death game.. with her was hell on earth.

The debut of a future tank was coming to light! Floor 1. Another beautiful day with fair weather. Temperature was amazing and it was time to go.  He was preparing himself for this quest that everyone recommended completing before adventuring into the deep dark recesses of the other floors. Ueno stood there in the light and stared at the alchemist’s residence. Black hair drifted from side to side as the wind blew its gentle breeze. Now then, show time to experience the life of a tank. He wasn’t up to par yet. He chose his weapon the way he did due to the fact he was going to start off small by smashing in some monsters and power level himself. It was the only way.

Footsteps crept up on the housing and his eyes locked onto the wooden door frame. He leaned in and knocked gently awaiting for the man to answer. This was quite exhilarating to him. He had been developing proper ways to get levels before doing any quest and sunk most of his skills in his first fighting ability. “Here goes nothin.”

Profile >> FC: Joker Persona 5

Username: Yukio

Real name: Ueno, Yukio

Age:21

Gender: Male

Height: 182.88 cm

About: History/personality

Ueno, Yukio is the oldest of 3 siblings. Throughout elementary and secondary school, he was mediocre. Average at sports, grades, and life in general. The boy was a wall flower. However, during the years of high school, he began to flourish in groups and exceed in learning and growing. Having breached top 10 of the school of over 3,000 students, he had hit stardom in academics. He excelled in fencing that lead to national recognition during his heyday. The studious young man had something to hide. Nothing was ever for himself. “Yukio… you must set an example! Yukio… you need to prove to the rest of the family that our family is worth something. Yukio… Yukio Yukio!”

As the years progressed out of school, he openly enrolled in university in Tokyo, Japan. With his star academics, he easily enrolled into the prestige schools. There was a course of action that did lead to something strange. He was an avid gamer. 90 percent of his friends knew nothing of his closet behavior. He was indeed a fake. He enrolled in the medical academy for prosthetics as the pressure was on for his family. If one knew him personally, they would ideally call him a coward for not standing up for himself. He was a people pleaser, brown noser, a man who could manipulate words to make things work. Fake. All that hard work showed nothing of his passion. His passion was to be surrounded by video games and to not worry about life. While his brain could process science, he wanted to process dreams. While his grades reflected a genius, it was just hard work every day. No friends, no parties, nothing.

The invention of the SAO universe was something that he had to have. Every bit of money he could gather was for this moment. He could be himself beyond human capabilities and escape the hardship of everyone. Forget people, forget the deadline. He wanted to be one of the first players in SAO. He would not regret his decision.

Virtues:

Adaptable: Yukio is has been taught in various ways to become versatile. With daily change, he has envisioned himself to calculate the best route to deal with a situation. Any situation is adaptable with sacrifice and perseverance, so long as he is able to live with his decision and lie in bed with it.

Compassion: There are very few things that Yukio is compassionate about. However, if one would crack the shell, one would be able to tell that he was compassionate. He would feel pity and remorse for those less fortunate and would strive to help. He sees them suffering like he had suffered and must try to make things work for them without rest.  

Passionate: Passion is seen within everything he does when it comes to things he loves. His love for whatever he loves is shown by his knowledge, excellence, and execution. With time, bonds will come and there he will be to stick with them showing them that they couldn’t of made a better choice.

Flaws:

Fake: If there is one thing that no one knows about him is how fake he is. Being able to fake it to make other things its believable is something he has mastered. His fake behavior is a deep-seated secret that lead back to his childhood days. To break it will be a challenge to overcome.

Withdrawn: Despite the social behavior, he is a rather withdrawn person. He prefers a setting that he is to himself and would rather spend time reading a book or preferably a video to soak up the time. This has lead to a variety of situations where he has awkwardly been in. Paths that could have been open to him have been closed due to his strange behavior.

Arrogance: His arrogance is a façade but none the less it is due to the fact that his parents have drilled it in his head that he must show that he is better than the rest of his other extended family. He is known to show off his ability to understand medical knowledge and flaunt that he is able to perform it despite him not actually caring. While he is usually mild mannered, his arrogance will trigger if someone disagrees with what he stays when he knows the knowledge is sound.

Profession: (Leave blank until the Earning a Living quest has been completed.)
