Kaliot 0 Posted May 6, 2020 #1 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Kaliot Mao Vi | 19 | Male | 5'6" | 140lbs Appearance Mao is a pretty average-looking kid: nothing too crazy either direction of the spectrum. His hair is a golden-brown with straight strands and kept somewhat messy. He isn’t necessarily scrawny, but he does have a small body frame. His only form of dedicated exercise is during gym class at school, and though it is, he takes it pretty seriously giving his muscles a slightly-toned appearance. History Mao was born to middle-of-the-road, hard-working, and loving parents. Due to their work schedules, Mao unfortunately wasn’t able to spend much time with them and even less so with them together. That combined with sprinkles of family gatherings made up for most of his social interactions in his early years. He went into schooling with decent etiquette and manners, but with regards to getting along with his peers, it was quite a struggle and riddled with trial-and-error. Through the years, he actively worked to become better at reading situations and dealing with them accordingly. Academically, he certainly didn't have the greatest grades, but he was slightly above average. Mao and his friends were big into gaming and when they heard about SAO, they knew they had to get in on it. Maximizing their chances to get a key, they all signed up in hopes of getting just one. They even went so far as to asking if other friends, family, and classmates could help them out by signing up themselves. All that effort was put to waste as Mao, both luckily and unluckily, was the only one able to snag a key. The group planned a LAN party at Mao's place on the day of release and while he wanted to play it, it wasn't the main focus: he'd just try it out for a bit then tell his friends how it went later as they played other games. Set-up and troubleshooting issues kept delaying his drop into SAO, and when he finally managed to get in, he was immediately teleported to the central plaza... Personality Mao is a relatively quiet person though that’s a result of being more reserved than being shy. He is laid-back, friendly, and prefers to avoid confrontations and diffuse situations if possible. Generally, he won't do much of anything physically unless something irks him enough to compel him to do so, and even then, he doesn't consistently do so. He is always trying to think of the best or safest solution for any given situation, and he carries this over to conversations and relationships. More often than not, he tends to respond with the words that someone wants the hear rather than what he would actually want to say as long as it’s not a problem to do so, but that is not to say they are mutually exclusive; more often then not, they coincide. When it comes to annoying or overly-aggressive people, he’d prefer to just avoid them entirely rather than confront or appease them. All this delicate balancing that he does, for fear of once misstep sending him off the beam, gives him latent anxiety. In real life, he noticed it from time to time but it wasn't too bad to deal with. Now that he’s stuck in SAO, it has gotten more difficult to deal with. Virtues: Level-headed - Mao is one to stay neutral and diffuse any problematic situations. To this end, he tries his best to stay calm and capture all angles in order to form the best or safest solution to an issue. Whenever he struggles to or is unable to grasp a situation, he gets stressed and anxious. Earnest - Falling in line with his want to control and resolve situations, Mao believes it is best to be sincere with his words. However, when it comes to having to choose between the two, he leans toward the former to the dismay of his internal compass. He also tries to stick to his moral compass and convictions, but again, they generally take the backseat to keeping the peace though that may change depending on the severity of situations. Multi-thinker - Even when he’s not doing much of anything, Mao is always is keeping an ear and eye out on his surroundings while maintaining focus on any tasks at hand. He isn’t always running multiple trains of thoughts through his mind though he is certainly capable of handling quite the load. However, in time of extreme stress he is still prone to getting overwhelmed. Flaws: Softhearted -For lack of a less redundant phrase, Mao is kindhearted. Though he doesn’t actively go out to help people in need, he does feel compelled to do so when he comes across them, sometimes even against his better judgment. In the world of SAO, his soft-heartedness and his level-headedness tend to clash much more than in the real world as he can struggle between choosing an optimal solution and a self-righteous solution. Non-violent - Mao was always one to resort to diplomacy rather than war. Videogames were obviously exempt to not being real, but now that he is stuck in SAO, his pacifism has simmered up again. Despite the looming implication of death, a part of him still maintains that the world is still a game and he is still able to take action against less threatening mobs. However, he is much more cautious against more dangerous mobs, that is if he is able to get the courage to face them in the first place. In regards to open-world/lethal PvP, he does his best to avoid it like the plague. The only time he would take action would be when someone is actively trying to PK his close allies and friends, and even then, he likely wouldn’t be able to fight to the best of his ability. Anxious - Mao’s whole self is one big balancing act: he’s afraid that if he leans too far one way or another, he will fall and that that will create problems. He does a good job at this, but because of it, he has slight, underlying anxiety that never quite goes away. In active situations, he is able to keep himself composed, but all the effort that he puts into doing so adds onto the anxiety that hits him afterwards. Depending on how severe and stressful a situation is, it may leave him mentally debilitated for extended periods of time afterwards, primarily keeping inside safezones for fear of making a serious or even grave mistake doing something out in the wilderness. Going into a situation before he has recovered from this runs the risk of him making mistakes that are unlike him to make, and doing so repeatedly with exacerbate the issue.
