» About: History/personality

Keiji is the first of three sons of Shingen Mochizuki controlling shareholder of digital frontier. Keiji grew up in luxury in Tokyo as one of the elite youth. Like many of Japanese upper class, Keiji grew up cultured and taught the traditions of his people and his family line. The Mochizuki clan descended from the Oni no Kami who controlled the land of the Koka region most notably recognized as the land of the Koga Ninja. Keiji loved the art of the ninja in both pop culture and traditional art. He belied that under different circumstanced he could have been the heir of clan. Keiji spend countless hours training in Akido, Kendo trying to make himself worthy of what he believed his ancestors would have demanded. he even went as far as hunting down the last traditional art of Ninjutsu still taught to live up to his clans history. He pushed himself just as hard with his studies particularly displaying mastery of mathematics and sciences well beyond that of his peers.

His father's position had many benefits for the young boy who was beginning to explore the world of multimedia and gaming. He received advanced copies of every game the development company came out with. Keiji began to withdraw from the world he felt he didn't belong to made worse as he grew older and reality began to blur with the slow onset of schizophrenia. Too prideful to tell his family of the trouble he was having, he threw his young life into an early career as a game tester for the company his father owned. Keiji masked his pain through isolation and suppressed it by keeping his mind busy. His father had nothing but pride as Keiji's name began to grow a reputation of an elite gamer and a stunning hands on tester for his company. More recognizable than his name became the young mans call sign of 9Lives, or other referred to just as "nine", given both because of in innate ability to survive as if he couldn't be killed, and his agility and maneuverability tactics used in gaming. He was feared as a jinx, like a black cat that if crossed your path in a game would bring ruin.

Sword Art Online was the perfect merger of his desire with his professional persona. Despite his fathers influence, Keiji was excluded form the beta testing because the marketing department felt his reputation would cause other players to be uneasy thus not give them accurate data. While his father took it as an insult and instead that his son be permitted to play, Keiji only saw it as respect for who he was and what he had accomplished. When the game released, Keiji signed on to his moniker as 9Lives the day the game locked. silent he watched those around him fall apart as the reality of their containment sunk in. perhaps it was his disassociation that kept him strong or the faith he had in his talents but while everyone seemed to crumble he only sat in town and watched the human condition eat away the young minds of those sharing his incarceration.

as 9lives, he was content to learn the game studding his menus and the systems of advancement. he watched as foolish children rushed off to their deaths in hopes of leveling up on the front line and said not a word every time someone would recognize his moniker and plead for him to help. The truth was that he didn't care about saving anyone, he was here for the game and he would only play on his terms.

9Lives lived as he would in the real world when vetting a game, learning the quirks and advantages of the class, understanding the system and plotting a coarse to the maximum build he would need to survive. when his research was done and the tragedy of the world had sunk into the hearts of the players around him he pulled his blade form his waist and shook his head. Even with all his training, he looked down at his hand and saw a blade that was so foreign to him that it may as well been a battle axe. his coarse started with this though so he needed to get out in the world and use it.

» Virtues:

. Survivalist - Keiji believes in the mastery of the game in all mechanics, pairing skills and abilities to the most effective uses. he sudies terrain types, monster styles and spawn rates, and regularly watched and even enjoys in the failures of others as a means to perfect his talents without suffering the hazards himself.

. Martial Artist - Keiji has spent 8 years in martial arts mastering Aikido and Kendo with advanced training in Ninjustu and Kenjutsu.

. Detached - the horror of the games reality made no make on Keiji. He players the game the same as he would have had none of the disaster happened. He is calculative, strong in will, and determined to beat the game not because his life depends on it, but because that's what he joined the game to do.

» Flaws:

. Isolationist - Keiji had refused every invitation to party, join guilds, or even trade because of the expectation of aid associated with it. Keiji would rather spend his time working towards his own perfections then barter and socialize with the masses.

. Intolerant - Keiji hates weakness of mind and spirit. While he acknowledges that strength of body is just a game of numbers, those who do not have the willpower to success and persevere deserve the fate they will get. He refuses to aid those who are week by those standards even if his inaction would result in their death.

. Delusional - Part of his illness as his develops while he is locked in this world has created a delusion that takes hold at times where he doesn't believe their is a world outside the game. He has memories of his previous life but at times remembers them akin to the memory of another game the longer he goes without seeing the real world, the stronger and more frequent the delusions will become.
