Sora

He takes the glass of water from Freyd’s hand, smiling brightly. “T-thank you… so, so much.” He pours the water down his gullet, swallowing the ice cubes whole. “Huh? What? Oh- yeah, I didn’t expect it to be so hot. I’ve never been here before but some rando said I have to speak to an NOC named Abdullah. That he will give me a letter which I’ll then have to deliver to another NPC. Any idea where to find him?”

He says, adjusting the blade on his back due to it being a bit crooked in the straps of his armor. He nods his head at Bee, then looks at the animal on her shoulder. “Woah what the heck is that thing!? It’s.. adorable! Can I have one? Where do I get myself a stoat?” He then slowly reaches his hand up to touch the back of the weasel’s head. His eyes wide and his mouth. Agape as he prepares to pet such a gorgeous creature.

“The fact that these animals can bond with players and replicate human emotions and animal behavior is truly remarkable. Kayaba knew what he was doing with this game, huh?”

Sora was having.. a bad day, he has not eaten, he has nearly died four times, he has been lost for hours, and frankly… he has no idea what he is doing. He was sent out here, told by another player that there is an NPC by the name of Abdullah, and that all he has to do is speak to him for a travel quest, which wouldn’t require any combat.

Of course Sora believed them, why would he not? He did not expect people to lie, considering the situation they all share. He still has yet to find any sort of shelter, nor has he seen a single player or NPC. He just walks slowly through the blistering heat, dragging his sword through the sand, making a long trail with the tip of the steel blade. His body can’t feel this heat, but he can only imagine how much he’d be sweating right about now.

“Oh lord.. if you’re going to trap me in a game why did it have to be this!?” He says, feeling parched.. it’s a good thing he can’t actually feel the need for fluids, or else he’d probably collapse. He stares off at the horizon, watching the rippling heatwaves wriggle in front of his eyes from the sandy dunes. “Hmm.. another tumbleweed, guess that makes eight.” He says to himself, it seems he has been keeping track to pass the time. 

About thirty minutes later, when he had almost lost hope… until, he saw a glimpse of the top of an old building in the distance. He walks over a mound of sand and tumbles, rolling down the hill with his sword and laying out at the city entrance, flat on his back. He sits up, teary eyed. “Could it be? H-have I found it?” He asks himself, looking up to the sky, as if speaking to a GM. Only to be blinded and quickly look back downwards. “Ow-” He takes to his feet and begins walking forward, his Claymore strapped to his back in its manky, old scabbard.

He roams the city streets before coming to a stop, he sees the skirt adorned girl chasing after what he could only presume to be a rat. He jogs after her, hoping she could provide some assistance on where this Abdullah individual might be. “Hey! Please, stop running!”  

Profile:
Username: Sora
Real name: Morine Arashi
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Height: 5’8

Background:

He was born to a middle class family in Osaka. His family was decently happy until his mother left his father for a more wealthy man. She left when Morine was only 5, and then 3 years later his father remarried, afterwards, his father and stepmother had a baby boy and named him Tada. However, his stepmother passed away due to complications arising from birth, leaving him, his father, and his newborn half-brother alone.

If they thought things couldn’t get any worse, their father took his life a few weeks after, leaving them alone to fend for themselves. They were put into foster care and resided in a children’s home for years, waiting to be adopted. Over the years, Morine raised and loved Tada the best he could, protecting him from bullies, helping with his homework, he even taught him how to cook. Things went bad when Morine was 17, his brother was 9, after hearing about the release of Sword Art Online, and the revolutionary NerveGear. 

Being an absolute geek his whole life, this only made Morine even more obsessed with technology. He only had enough money for his own rig, which is quite fortunate considering the masked purpose of SAO. He planned on only taking it apart to examine the components, but Tada convinced him to play it for a bit before he demolished it. 

So that’s what he did, he camped out with his lil bro, waiting for the line to move. He was the last in line, but he got it, he’s not sure who was more excited. Himself for getting it, or his little brother (probably excited to know he could convince Morine to let him play it). They brought it home, unboxed it, and Morine logged in immediately. I’m sure we all know what happens next.

After being trapped in the game, he began to panic when he realized his brother would be alone for a while, without anyone to ensure his safety or happiness, he had a break down. Though, he knew he wouldn’t get out, after hearing about the conditions required before they could all be released, he decided to be one of the players fighting to beat the game. Not for himself, not for the other players, but to get back to his brother.

Virtues

1. Honesty: He always tells the truth, he will never not be honest no matter what the situation is. He believes it is best to say things as they are no matter the reprecussions because it could cause tension and harm later on. He will put things bluntly as well, even if it hurts someone's feelings.

2. Generosity: Whenever there is a chance to help someone, he will take it. Whether he’s giving directions, lending money or items, or assisting with a quest. He doesn’t ask for anything in return, even if he needs it. He finds joy in helping people, and he also finds it as an obligation to assist those in need.

3. Purpose: He has a strong sense of purpose that drives him to achieve his goals. He understands his purpose in life clearly, he knows why he’s here, what he must do, and what he must do to achieve them. He will do anything to achieve them, even if that means taking lives.

Flaws

1. Doubtful: He has a hard time trusting others, but he will if he finds it necessary. He also doesn’t trust others to “change their ways”, he believes that once you lose your way, you can never find it again. He’s afraid others will judge him after getting to know him or that they will betray him after he becomes too vulnerable.

2. Overprotective: When he becomes emotionally attached to someone, he won’t let them out of his sight. No matter how strong they are, he won’t let them go anywhere without them. This can come off as too possessive, but he’s compelled to worry about his loved ones no matter what.

3. Impulsive: He’s very hyper and hotheaded. He has trouble planning and observing the field before running into fight, especially when someone’s life is at stake. He acts on impulse and doesn’t think twice before acting, which is why he relies on others to help keep him in check.

Okay soo. I have returned to this server after about a year. My name is Oliver, you may call me Oli if you’d like. I’m a male, I’m now 22 and I’ve since graduated university and landed a position in the CSI Department at my local police department in Chicago.

I was born in Ireland however, in a teeny-tiny village called Dingle. I then moved to America due to family issues and began secondary school there. Eventually getting into a university, where I studied chemistry, I got my associates degree a long with an internship.

I’m big into gaming, literature, and cookin’.
