[b]Personality[/b]
Prideful to say the least, Makoto is intelligent, calculating, and patient, while simultaneously unwavering in his principles. Because of his steadfast convictions which he never hesitates to espouse when appropriate, he possesses a natural charisma and ability to leader others. However, in spite of his pride, Makoto is shown to be pragmatic and determined, willing to cast aside pride and using whatever means necessary in achieve success. Despite acting with an iron fist, Makoto shows care for those under his dominion despite his seemingly harsh and strict nature.

[b]Biography[/b]
Makoto Date descends from a line of leaders heavily involved in government. He can even trace his lineage to the famous warlord, Masamune Date. In the modern day, his parents are politicians in the Diet, having served for several years already. It is expected of Makoto to follow in their footsteps once he comes of age, a legacy he is more than happy to continue.

Despite possessing the maturity and discipline to meet the responsibilities and expectations he accumulated, Makoto understood to take care of his physical and mental health to avoid burning out or snapping from pressure. He overheard several students mentioning a VRMMORPG that just recently went out of beta and was about to be launched. Makoto researched the game that was being released and found it sufficient for his dilemma. When the game was launched, Makoto was one of the first players to join.

As Makoto rose in infamy in the game, he also managed to rise in his own life as well. He reached his third year in high school as student council president, a title he held since his first year in middle school, while maintaining the number one position in the class rankings. There were few people who didn't know Makoto-taichou. There were even fewer that he spent his free time playing a VRMMORPG.

[b]Avatar Biography[/b]:
Nacht was one of the newcomers to the VRMMORPG when it was first launched. Despite his research into the mechanics of the game, he lacked general experience when it came to video games. It was because of his inexperience that led him to choose "Tactician" as his character class, having thought of it as a role most suited for him when it was offered to him.

Unfortunately, a majority of players considered Nacht's chosen class as useless or boring. The beta players rated it poorly and this opinion was imbedded in the players. Tacticians had no noteworthy personal skills and attributes because the class relied primarily on directing non-playable characters. However, despite the mockery and disdain Nacht endured in the early stages of playing, he grew fond of the unique playstyle his class provided.

In the game, players were able to gain reputation in the various organizations and factions scattered throughout the setting. Because no one cared to party with him, Nacht focused on completing quests for NPCs with his small band of NPC soldiers. His reputation among the militaries of the game's setting grew with time and eventually his class changed into "Strategist" (a more advanced version of his original class) and there were many high-ranking non-playable characters clamoring for him to join their kingdoms with the rank of a noble or general. He and his group would come to be called "The Black Cowls" for copious amount of black clothing and armor they wore.

After months of playing, Nacht took note of the intricate relationships a player character can have with non-playable characters. Though they were all AI, a majority of them all acted like they were real people. It was an astounding technological development and Nacht saw how many reacted similarly to how humans would. Not only that, the various leaders of several organization, factions, and even kingdoms changed with startling fluidity.

An idea sprouted Nacht, "What if I took advantage of this?"

He took the Black Cowls to the city-state of Caevum, a port city that served as a major trading hub between the frontier and the insular "safe" regions of the game. The region Caevum was settled in was mountainous, difficult to invade by land and sea. Even the ruling monarch's castle was carved into the face of the largest mountain that stood looking over the city and port. Nacht pledged his allegiance to the king of Caevum.

However, Nacht's pledge was only a ruse. In the game's history of Caevum, it was said that no outside force was ever able to conquer it. For Nacht, it was only a simple manner of manipulating his way into the trust of the king. In a move no other players thought was possible, he deposed the king of Caevum and executed him publicly. He then proclaimed to the masses that he was now their ruler. He was not to be their king, but their emperor.

In the castle of Caevum, after crowning himself as emperor, Nacht found a quest item that immediately changed his class to "Great Conqueror." There was a legend in the game that talked of a mighty emperor that once controlled the entire world. His conquest of Caevum triggered the quest and urged Nacht to continue forth with his mission. Spurred by the thought of war, political intrigue, and state administration, Nacht was more than willing to begin his conquest of the world.

Nacht began conquering and taking more and more territory, marking him as one of the hated villains in the game. Nevertheless, there were many that was willing to aid him on his ambition.
