She has always been the kind of girl who would stop to give a homeless man some money for food. She can't help but find an urge to help others in need and that personality very much so carried over into Aincrad when she and her brother became trapped within the game. She is kind towards all, and quite protective over those who need it in her eyes. She is also rather intelligent, and has been known for being quite strategic when needed. Akemi is also quite extroverted and friendly towards most people. However, those who would hurt others; such as <>, will find no mercy from her. [b][u]History:[/u][/b] Before being dragged into the hell which was Sword Art Online, Akemi was one of the top students at her school. Straight A's, cheerleading squad leader, and conteder for class president; the girl was at the top of her game. However, that all changed whenever the release of Sword Art Online came amount. The girl had gotten a copy of the game, and a NerveGear so that she could enjoy the game with her little brother. Afterall, there wasn't much that he could do these days thanks to being paralyzed. Whenever the both of them found out there would be no return, Akemi had a total breakdown. Her very life had shattered before her eyes, and everything had been lined up so perfectly. She was among those who sat around in the town of beginnings, hiding in a room and waiting for the end for the first few months of the game. That was until her brother had finally found her. After he had lost her in the opening stages of the chaos, the boy had sought to grow stronger while still looking for his big sister. After a lengthy talk and a few days spent motivating, Akemi found herself back on her feet. Afterall, she couldn't let him go at this on his own, he might get hurt. So she set out on her quest to end the game. It did not take long for her to prove her strength as a player, and gain the moniker of 'Guardian', after she continually showed a tendency to step in to help others. Rumors of a guardian angel in Aincrad spread beacuase of her, the girl who would fight to the bitter end just to help others. Using some of her newly found fame, Akemi would start the Guardians of Hope Guild, and start forging a new way forward. Clearing levels, and carrying out successful minor operations against the <> Guild. So when they heard about the current battle for the 20th floor, it was only a matter of time before they came and joined the ranks of those taking the fight to <>. [b][u]Equipment:[/u][/b] Weapon of Light- A weapon which takes form purely of the handle she holds. The weapon itself forms into either a Lance, or a Great Sword, and is made of red light. She is proficient with both weapons. Quarter Plate Armor- Armor that is made of a quarter plate armor and normal leather armor. Provides bonus defense, more common among those playing the tank role. Shield- A small shield on her arm which can be used to block incoming attacks/parry them if timed correctly. Granted attacks from a large weapon would break through quite easily. [b][u]Skills:[/u][/b] Akemi is a strength focused player, she takes the role of the battlefield tank, able to take damage as well as deal it out rather effectively. [b]Surge-[/b] Akemi can temporarily boost her strength stat, receiving a 'Surge of Strength' to deal out higher damage or preform taskes requiring higher strength. This ability can only be done once per day. [b][u]Guild:[/u][/b] [b]Guardians of Hope[/b] [u]Rank:[/u] Commander [hider=Guardians of Hope][center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/iq0CqCW.jpg[/img] [hr] The Guardians of Hope are a small to medium sized clan, they're a bit militaristic in structure. While they may seem similar to the Army, the Guardians of Hope are an elite guild. Their ranks consist only of clearers who have applied and been personally chosen by the commander. Since they began, the Guardians of Hope have been a rather close knit group, and known for their friendliness like that of a family. The guild's goal is to protect those who cannot defend themselves, be it from helping out with food or other methods. The guild will do it without asking for any compensation. They're also commonly seen on the frontlines of the game, helping clear whatever obstacles lie in their path. Their Guildhouse is located in the main city of the 18th floor, and always has some rooms open for those in need. Money to fund their exploits is gathered through quests, contracts, or through the tavern that makes up the bottom floor of the Guild House.[/center][/hider][/center][/hider][/center] [center][hider=Isamu 'The Solo Player'][center] [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/6b/27/cb/6b27cb1be4d7e20ac12888a0200b4082.jpg[/IMG] [color=#87CEFA][h2]Isamu[/h2] [b]"You'll never know what hit you."[/b][/color] [hr] [b][u]Actual Name:[/u][/b] Ichirou Namikaze [b][u]Age:[/u][/b] 16 [b][u]Gender:[/u][/b] Male [b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] Isamu is a bit a loner, choosing to be on his own and a bit introverted compared to others. He isn't the kind, unlike his sister, to go out of his way to help somebody in the streets. However; he would certainly not hesitate to defend another in battle should he think they need it. He will talk and be friendly with those he is close to, but is not terribly willing to go out try to make new friends. [b][u]History:[/u][/b] Isamu was a rather popular kid in school, an upcoming sports star mostly, but also an avid gamer. However; at the age of 15, he was hit by a car on his way from the school. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down, and fell rather quickly from grace. He shrunk away from his friends, and when Sword Art Online was announced, he asked for it immdiately. Much to his surprise, his sister bought two NerveGear and two copies of the game. When they found themselves stranded in the game, he quickly lost track of his sister. In the following months, he grew stronger, wanting to be the strongest among those trapped in this world. Eventually he did find his sister, and gained a new reason to become stronger. He had to beat the game, after seeing the state she was in, he needed to beat the game to get her back to her previous self. Since that day, he has been workig alongside his sister but never joining her guild. He became one of the few solo players who were able to count themselves among the clearers. His drive to protect others in combat led him to join the fight for the 20th Floor against <>. [b][u]Equipment:[/u][/b] Simple Longsword: A Longsword which seems plain in all aspects, except that the damage it does will always increase to keep in line with the player's level, doing average damage for that level. Quick Light Armor: Light armor, providing minimal addtional protection, one tier above common clothes, but grants the wearer the ability to use the Dash ability once their speed stat is high enough. [b][u]Skills:[/u][/b] Isamu is an AGL focused player, though he is often seen on the front lines alongside his sister. Isamu may not be able to take a hit or deal as much damage as others, but he is very fast and hard to hit. The result being that he makes an excellent distraction to open opponents up for surprise attacks. [b]Dash-[/b] Similar to how his sister can surge her strength, Isamu can surge his speed. The result being around 20 seconds of blazing fast movement which is quite hard to counter. During this time, his damage is slightly lower, but he can also preform more attacks in the time frame.
