About: History/personality

History: Ebony had never played a virtual reality game before SAO. She’d always enjoyed games, but the physical kind. She enjoyed board games, card games, computer games, and sports. Despite loving games and playing them with all sorts of people, she never made many friends due to her shy nature. On the outside she always appeared calm and collected, seeming content with being a loner. On the inside she was extremely lonely though, and filled that empty spot with even more games.

Eventually she got tired of it, and at the age of 17 finally branched out and joined a group of VRMMO players that she had met briefly online. They had become friends quickly through online chats, and made plans to meet up in the latest virtual game, Sword Art Online. She ordered the necessary equipment and spent a week or so getting used to the virtual environment by playing some other games until SAO came out. She bought it and rushed home notifying her online group through an email before logging in immediately, not waiting for a response.

Unbeknownst to her, most of her friends had made a decision to wait for the price to go down and didn’t enter the game at all before she was trapped there. Ebony spent a long time in the starting town, waiting and searching for her friends, but has finally made a decision to do whatever she can to help clear the game, even if that involves PKing.

 

Personality: Ebony has always been a bit ruthless when it comes to games. In her opinion a good offense is the best defense. Besides being attack oriented and not defense, she prefers to play the villain in games where that is an option. She isn’t a big fan of subterfuge but understands that sometimes it is necessary. A lot of her strategy comes from her frequent chess games, and she finds that it can easily be applied to other games and even real life at times. When not playing games Ebony is extremely shy, and even a bit anti-social. Even though she wants to make friends she ends up pushing people away because she is afraid of disappointing them or messing something up. In VRMMOs, her personality changes though. Since people don’t know who you are in real life, she is much more confident, not worrying about messing up or angering other people. In game she is still shy, but more outgoing, and willing to take risks, meaning that she can make friends easier. Recognizing it as a game she is able to strategize according to the rules, analyzing everything in order to make the best strategic decision. In her opinion, SAO is just chess with more rules.

Virtues:

Strategic/Analytical: Ebony is very good at strategizing, making her good in large scale fights. She also has a very analytical mind, meaning that she is very good at analyzing people and their actions. She attempts to analyze peoples personalities and the rules of the game in order to take advantage of both.

Ruthless: Ebony is ruthless in games, (in chess terms) sacrificing pawns and preserving power pieces. She keeps strong people close to her, and sacrifices other people when needed. She wont hesitate to do what needs to be done, even if it means killing other players.

Risk-taker: Ebony is willing to take risks to achieve her goal. This is partially because of her determination to become strong, and partially from the fact that she doesn’t totally believe that people that die in game die in real life.  She isn’t a gambler though, and only takes risks with good odds of survival.

Flaws:

Shyness: Ebony is a shy person. She gets nervous around people that she doesn’t know, sometimes stuttering. This goes away when she’s around friends though because she has people she can rely on. She doesn't like talking to strangers and would rather spend her time alone than have a chance to embarrass herself in front of others.

Over-Analytical: Ebony can be over analytical, sometimes trying to analyze something that is extremely simple. In simple terms, she can overthink things and often does. What other people see as obvious she can overcomplicate, such as a simple phrase or emotion. She tries a bit too hard to understand people and emotions

Un-Empathetic: Sometimes when analyzing things, Ebony doesn’t include other peoples thoughts and feelings into her equations. She has trouble understanding other peoples feelings. When planning a hunt or a fight she doesn't think about how other people feel, such as whether or not someone is afraid to be on the front lines or whether they prefer to provide support. She places them where their skills lie or where she feels they need to be, rather than where they want to.
