Appearance:

A mountainous 6ft 8, apparently chubby yet actually quite strong. Long brown beard, medium length hair. 

Beta-Tester?: No

Personality:
Never judge a book by its cover, no matter how large or intimidating. Although McBern appears to be a powerhouse of strength and brutality he is in actuality quite pleasant, loving to entertain and care for his fellow Second Server siblings. He quite likes life in SAO and has made the most of his time there, however the behemoth loves not only to relax but to battle. Fighting mobs has become an area in which he excels and has on several occasions fought to defend other members, in keeping with his generous, light-hearted and loyal nature.
 
Brief Real Life Background: 
Bernard McArthur born in Inverness was living and working in London during the incident, as an accounts assessor. His job was boring and unsatisfying, hence the urge to escape into a virtual reality. His parents were very loving, yet sadly died when he was 10, forcing him to live in a carehome where he would eat his way into a 25 stone obesity. 

Game Background: 
When entering the game, McBern posed as a thin, brown haired man in his late thirties. This was probably a way for Bernie to experience life without the extra weight. However during the first few hours, and the incorporation of true to RL Avatars, his disguise was ruined. His appearance however was the last of his concerns, over the next week McBern farmed a section of grassland on floor 1; killing boars, wolves, wasps, worms, beetles etc leveling up quite significantly. During this first week he stayed at one of Horunka Villages inn's, it was staying here that gave him the idea to set up his very own tavern, off the beaten track, somewhere on higher levels where players could find sanctuary. 
Whilst searching for the perfect location McBern was ambushed by a pack of wild bears, led by a rare monster; Ursidae lord of Bears. Defeating the group (and almost dying during the battle) McBern was awarded the rare hammer "Ursidae's Bane" and with it a substantial loot. With this money McBerns Tavern was built on the site of the battle, toward the edge of the Forest of Claws on floor 23.
