None | UNIDENTIFIED None   FRIENDS LISTS Spoiler To be updated -- NOTES Spoiler To be updated   VIRTUES, FLAWS & TRAITS Spoiler | VIRTUES | TRAITS | FLAWS + Bleeding Heart: Caliburn is a very empathetic person. He feels other people’s pain as his own, but at the same time, their happiness is his as well. This empathy makes him far more sympathetic a person, even to his enemies. + Heart of Gold: Caliburn is very caring, and often goes out of his way to help others. Although a bit idealistic, he isn’t exactly naive, and takes steps to prevent as much tragedy as he can. If there is something he can do to help someone else, even at personal cost to himself. + Simple Ambitions: Although Caliburn doesn’t have as lofty goals as others, he does have a lot of determination. He’s not the kind of man to back down, and will push through whatever obstacles are placed in front of them. Once he's mind is set, nothing can stop him. | Goofball: Caliburn, whether by intention or happenstance, tends to make a bit of a fool of himself. Eager to laugh along with others, he takes it all in stride. Sometimes he will purposefully make some kind of shenanigans to entertain others. | Don’t Call Me That: Caliburn hates his given name. Due to being teased as a child, he now refuses to tell others his name. To do so would be a very intimate moment for him, and would require great trust in the other person. | Hopeless Romantic: Caliburn, is at heart, a huge sap. He wants and believes in happy endings, in love, and all the things that most would spurn. Although he knows life is not a fairy tale, he will do his utmost to make it reality. - Stuck In His Ways: Caliburn is a man of convictions. Although he is not unwilling to change, he refuses to compromise on his convictions, which tends to cause problems for both him and his friends. One might call him a man of firm principles. - Lost In Translation: Communicating is not Caliburn’s strong suit. It’s less from a lack of trying, but rather forgetfulness that he’ll omit information. In any case, he is not the best at informing others of his condition nor his intentions. - Silent Suffering: Although generally regarded as a fairly open person, Caliburn rarely ever shares his pain with others. Physical, mental, or spiritual it is for none but him to know. He’d rather suffer on his own than burden others.   HISTORY Spoiler Hinata Morikawa was born to a single mother in Tokyo. Ever since his conception, she devoted her life to him. She worked three jobs, was careful to avoid anything that could possibly be a bad influence for the child she loved, and did everything she could possibly imagine to give him a life worthy of the happiness he had granted her. Growing up with that kind of love and devotion tends to instill it in the child as well. As Hinata grew up, he was shown to be an exceedingly caring man. He volunteered at homeless shelters and food kitchens, worked whatever part-time jobs he could find so his mother could work less, treated everyone with the kindness of a saint. So much so, that people often worried after his own health, with how hard he pushed himself for others. Whenever asked, he would laugh and say he was fine, if a little tired. The one thing Hinata did do for himself was write on roleplay forums. It was one of his secret pleasures, only because he thought others might tease him about it, like they did his name. It was on one of these forums that he met a girl he only knew by the name of ‘Kana’. The meeting sparked a fast friendship between the two writers, and soon enough they felt comfortable to try to meet with each other in real life. Kana’s parents however, were against the idea, and so, their first meeting had ended before it ever began. Despite this small hiccup, the two were happy to stay in touch with each other. Texting and writing together almost everyday, they were about as inseparable as physically possible, given the distance between them. Almost a year passed by, and the two began to plot to try to meet for Kana’s 18th birthday. Try as they might, however, a proper plan never fell into. Between Hinata’s, or as Kana knew him, Caliburn’s hectic work schedule, and Kana’s oppressive parents, things never quite lined up. That’s when Kana told Caliburn about Sword Art Online, the new full-dive VRMMO that was set to drop around the time of her birthday. Although Hinata had never been a huge gamer (he mostly played some casual games and RPGs on occasion, but nothing as invested as an MMO) he was eager for the chance to meet Kana face to face. Or avatar to avatar. The two collected their funds and bought the game and Nervegear, and on the first day, immediately dived into the game to meet for the first time. At first, everything went along swimmingly. The pair were getting along just as well in person as they had over text, and through their storied characters. Perhaps, it was even better. But then the event that changed over 10,000 players’ lives finally occurred. Kayaba had trapped them all. With no way to escape, and no experience in a game like this, Caliburn was hesitant to try and help clear the floors with the more experienced gamers. Thankfully, Kana was more eager to spend more time with him than to launch into what most assuredly would have been a fatal quest. The two spent all the time they were afforded with each other from that day on. Sticking primarily to safezones, they learned almost everything about each other (apart from their names) and soon enough, the friendship they had cultivated over the last year blossomed into beautiful romance. Since then, they've happily wiled away the years together content to have each other. Until recently that is. Now they're starting to get antsy, just a little. The temptation of adventure calls to them both, and they'll answer together. THE STORY SO FAR   Reveal hidden contents | ACT I: EMBARK Spoiler In progress...   ROLEPLAYS   Reveal hidden contents I.
