“This world even after all that happened is still unknown to us. ”

Name: Nozomi Okita

Username: Sen

Age: 16

Race:Elf

Class and Level:Sorcerer 90

Subclass and Level: Clown 85

Guild: Bud Virgin Logic

Bio:
Nozomi was always a curious person seeking to know why for a lot of things. As a child she lost most feeling in her legs leaving her paralyzed waist down. This made getting around a bit harder but she didn't let it stop her. Growing up she was often a frequent visitor of Akiba even when she was paralyzed giving her the “Fabled knowledge of a otaku”. It was also during one of her trips that she discovered eldar tale. A whole new world for her to explore and all that was enticing so she was quickly to join and explore a new world that was somehow familiar yet something unique as well. During her time in elder tale she chased after the tales and exploits of the debauchery tea party. The tales and adventures they had lead to her posting poems on the forums for the game about their adventures which garnered quite a bit of following. Eventually she gained friends and together they gathered many more and started their own adventures. Thus the guild known as “Bud Virgin Logic” was born. At the point an all female guild that had three leaders Sen, Nay, and Vel. They searched not for greatness or treasure rather they searched for the supposed item known on the forum as the “The answer” it was said to have been a book that contained all known lore and future lore of the game.

Personality: Nozomi is a quirky person and somewhat overbearing in her search for knowledge or how things works. In fact you can say that she can be somewhat of a Chuuni something she would deny with all her being. Despite her quirkiness she can be a capable and trustworthy person seeking to see things not as black and white or shades of grey and looks to the bright side of things despite everything that may happen. She can become serious when the situation calls for it allowing her to "switch gears" of sorts to better focus on the situation.

Real Name: Roukan Sato

Username: Convel McConnor

Age: 20

Race: Wolf Fang

Class and Level: Level 86 Guardian

Subclass and Level: Level 86 Berserker

Guild: The Condemned 105th Mercenary Company

Bio:
When asked what his favorite game was, Roukan would always answer Elder Tale with no hesitation. Ever since he could type on a keyboard, the young boy spent hours grinding for experience and gold, with many of his closest friends and relationships being formed while exploring the game's countless dungeons. The first and only guild he ever joined was The Condemned 105th Mercenary Company, a small group of about ten people that a jarhead friend of his created because the name sounded cool.

Outside of the game, Roukan would describe his life as boring and uninteresting. He had a job, was attending college, had friends and family, but he always felt like something was missing in his life. He tried out different hobbies, attempted the horrors of dating, but nothing seemed to give him the kind of excitement he longed for and every day felt like a struggle as he did his best to keep up the facade of contentment. The only place of enjoyment he ever found was his almost unhealthy fixation with Elder Tale, a game he would play more of if not for the distractions of every day life.

When the Apocalypse came and the players were trapped inside of the famous MMO, Roukan, who always preferred going by his username Convel than his real name, was the only one of his friends online, the rest of them having gotten bored and moved onto other games over the years. Unable to really enjoy the new expansion without a group of other players to support, especially with the thought that he might not ever see his family again, the only people he ever bothered spending time with outside of the game, the young man has been hopping from adventuring party to adventuring party for the past two weeks in the hopes of finding a new group to play with.

Personality:
Convel has a tendency to worry more about his comrades than his own well being, both on the battlefield and during downtime. Ask anyone and they'll tell you that the man is an optimist, but really he just hides his negative thoughts and emotions so that his friends and teammates have someone to look up to when things get rough. He knows that one day all of his fears, frustrations, and grief will catch up with him, but for now he shoulders that burden to be the shining beacon of hope that the guild needs.

Name: Matsuda Yuuko
Username: Matsuko "The Great Gourmand"
Age: 19
Race: Human
Class Level 87 Samurai
Subclass Level 90 Food Fighter

Guild:
<The Silver Spoon>
The Silver Spoon guild is a craftsman guild that is mainly comprised of those with the subclass of <Chef>, <Fisherman>, and <Farmers>. Only a few <Food Fighters> are allowed into the guild after showing their knowledge in food within Elder Tale. Once part of the guild, players gain benefits such as free food.

Bio:
Matsuda Yuuko was born into a fairly ordinary family. And by fairly ordinary, she was pressured from the beginning of middle-school to get rank one in all of her classes. As such, she had tutoring for the better part of her week and if she wasn't busy studying, she was asleep. Her lifestyle caused a rumor to spread around that she was cold and aloof. Yuuko wasn't about to try correct them as it would only lead to more misunderstandings, something she didn't have time to deal with. Thus her social life was non-existent. In the latter years of highschool, she began to binge eat due to stress which soon became a habit, leading to her huge appetite. By some miracle of genetics, her metabolism was able to keep up but her hunger for food merely increased. Many a time has Yuuko faked going to Cram school to cram a pile of hamburgers into her mouth. Disguised, of course.

After overhearing a conversation between her class' resident 'Otaku', she decided to look into this game they called "Elder Tale". The way they spoke about it intrigued her in a way she didn't expect. "Classes", "Freedom" and "Fantasy" were some buzz words she picked out of the conversation as she continued to quietly eavesdrop. Much to her surprise, her older brother was already playing the aforementioned game, thus she borrowed his laptop to try it out. It was unlike anything she had ever seen and it was much more fun than she expected. In this virtual world, she could express herself without the chains of expectation; She chose to play as a Samurai purely because of the aesthetic. She often found herself playing late into the night as she became very engrossed in the game, but she kept her interest hidden from everyone except her brother.

Unlike most of the other players, Yuuko was quite accepting, if not happy, that the Catastrophe happened. She was finally free of her family's binding chains of expectation and she was able to visit her guild whenever she felt like it without worrying about time.

Personality:
Matsuko often exudes a cold 'aura', making her seem very unapproachable. Her lack of facial expression isn't very helpful in that regard. However the fastest way to her heart is through her stomach, thus making her quite naive sometimes should someone have the right amount of food... Which is almost never. Should someone come to understand her, she's quite honest and agreeable, if not somewhat cute. Her insatiable appetite can be quite off-putting at times, since she says things like "I'll devour you" during a fight.

Other:
- Matsuko plays as a Vengeance-type Samurai, mostly using counters and blocks.
- Matsuko is the same height as Yuuko, around 5'6". However Yuuko had long black hair, while Matsuko has blonde hair.

"The Great Gourmand" was a title that Matsuko earned from a special quest that she received after consuming 200 items of food within 2 minutes, which required a lot of spamming and animation cancelling. This quest required her to look (And consume) at different foods within the game before answering a quiz on the food's lore and ingredients. This quest was a 'one chance' only, meaning if the player failed to answer one part of the quiz, they would not be able to acquire the title and the quest would disappear.

Effects:
This title allows Matsuko to eat anything and discern the ingredients or materials that make up the item. It also makes her immune to poison. She is able to consume food items during combat to gain regeneration effects and any additional buffs the item may provide.

Mount:
Chubby Chocobo

Name: Oshiro Akemi
Username: "Marquess" Lumi
Age: 18
Race: Ritian <Race of Ritual>
Class: Level 88 Enchanter
Subclass: Level 90 Noble

Guild:
N/A (She was actually kicked out of her guild.)

Bio:
As a child, Akemi was quite an energetic, happy girl. She would often play 'house' with the other children and would often become 'head' of the house due to her naturally bossy nature. Her parents merely saw this as a Leader-like personality trait that would lead her to great things. Fortunately enough, this kind of behavior led her to become somewhat of an idol among her peers. During most of her school like she was always part of the Student Council body and would take charge of most events such as the Cultural Festivals and the like. Her haughty attitude slowly grew over time as she was allowed to keep constant control over others, which people dismissed as a kind of cute quirk. Her silver tongue often kept protesters at bay. A true leader. Or so you would think. Her methods had earned her the ire of her seniors, thus causing many conflicts between her and them. As a result she and her seniors were suspended for 'misconduct'. Problems solved like a true leader. Accuse them of sexual assault.

During her days of suspension, which stretched into her holidays, she discovered Elder Tale as she browsed through random forums. As she had done with many other things from her school life, she studied the game intensely out of boredom due to her ironic dislike of the outdoors. Akemi engaged in 'mild' roleplaying and often played as a more intensely haughty person. She found it interestingly fun that the people in this game actually went along with her character.

After the Catastrophe, something clicked in Akemi's mind. While she remembered her days in the real world, she was so shaken that her personality intensified to point where she became like her character. A self proclaimed Goddess.

Personality:
With a name like "Akemi" with both kanji spelling out "Bright" and "Beautiful", you'd probably be able to expect what kind of person Lumi would be. And you'd be mostly correct in assuming that she's a very haughty person. To the point where describing her as a 'Himedere' or 'Kamidere' would actually be a simple way to describe her outer facade. She likes and tries to stand out from the crowd and is always telling people what to do as a true Goddess should, often coming off as extremely annoying to most. Despite her seemingly brash and rash nature, she's quite knowledgeable of the Elder Tale universe. Understanding that teamwork is important, but she won't hesitate to tell you that 'it was all her'. Many liken her personality to one of a Chuuni sufferer.

_{(A further upgrade of Tattoo Pattern: Magician, Overdrive and Chariot. Replaces Overdrive.)}
Using the magical power of a tattoo that symbolizes Absolute Power, strengthening the power of her spells to match that of a Sorcerer and reducing her spell cooldown time. This is a trump card that cannot be used often.

Other:
-Lumi uses a combination of <Sprinkler> and <Evil Eye> builds.
-Lumi is a short form of the English word "Luminous" (I wonder why she'd use the word..)
-Her tattoo is reminiscent of a rippling circle (A circle within a circle) which is located on her right temple, connecting to her hairline via a slightly disjointed line.

Name: Chemashe “Mash” Cherub (surname pronouced Cher’ rhub)

Username: ‘Meren the Shieldmaiden’

Age: 19

Race: Human

Class and Level: Cleric 90

Subclass and Level: Blacksmith 90

Guild: N/A

Bio: Chemashe is a shy kind-hearted individual in real life, while her persona seemed to exude confidence, beneath the surface of the facade is a 19 year old girl whom had a bunch of strange hobbies, few friends and even fewer reasons to want fame. She was terrified of the spotlight but if there is one thing this girl likes more then anything it is the act of creation. Creating things just fills her up with a massive sense of satisfaction. Perhaps this is why she devoted herself to her blacksmithing and the supportive role of a cleric. It might be the deep seated issue she has of wanting to be in the shadows yet still perform the vital roles to make a well oiled machine.

Of course this isn’t exactly going to be the case when you for one, are one of the best blacksmiths in the game due to your efficiency with lower mineral numbers yet still producing high quality goods. So she has some notoriety among players. This only served to grow when she crafted her shield for herself. She received quite a few bids from guardians to have such a shield… but… This was her magnum opus and nobody else was going to have it. She was going to be doing the protecting.

Suffice to say even after the catastrophe she tries to keep to herself and just continue being the supportive player she has always been. Smithing having gotten more fun now that she herself was working the forge with her own hands. Her life was now so much more interesting. So much more people to help. She hoped at least they would want her help… Though that didn’t matter she still had to deal with the change in body mass...


Personality: Chemashe can be seen as a shy individual. She keeps her emotions to herself and generally just does her best to help from the shadows when it comes to teamwork. However due to her role as a frontline cleric she can't exactly do both. So on the battlefield she adopts a more stern yet somehow motherly persona, wanting the best for all those at the front of the battlefield because if the wall falls then the DPS, the supports and everyone else will fall. So she will make sure the wall never falls. Sacrificing herself to make sure that occurs.

When someone has earned her trust she is much more approachable even bordering optimistic and smart. She works diligently even in the sidelines to make sure everyone has their best possible shot. Perhaps this is a reference to her real life self, where she is always second fiddle but always happy with that. At least she tries her damn hardest.

Name: Sonia Gaumont

Username: Gaumont (To this day, she still can't believe it worked.)

Age: 20

Race: Human

Class and Level: Lvl 85 Swashbuckler

Subclass and Level: Brewer Lvl 60

Guild: N/A

Bio: Sonia Gaumont was born in France under a French father, whom she takes most after, and Japanese mother who owned a large and successful company and who worked as the overall manager of the Japanese branch respectively. However, as neither married the other this naturally led to whose name she would inherit and who would take custody over her. In the end, both parents decided that Sonia would inherit her father's name and arranged how long she would be under the custody of each parent. As such, Sonia almost never stayed at any single school until she reached her 1st year in high school, where she finally settled in Japan under her mother's supervision by her own choice, seeing her father during the summer. The friends that she made soon after told her about Elder Tale, and so Sonia decided to give it a try.

What started as curiosity turned into admiration, then an addiction that lasted for two years and some expansion pack releases. In Elder Tale, Sonia did not have to say she was the daughter of a multi-million company at the least. Furthermore, she could interact with players that would not judge her based on her wealth. The challenge in Elder Tale kept Sonia going, though she mostly stuck with solo play. There were a couple of guilds who she was friendly with: a minor guild called Brewer Town who convinced her to try the brewer subclass and Holy Sword, another minor guild that Sonia ran into several times and hangs out with a few of their members. Unfortunately, Sonia had to put behind Elder Tale for a while because of her mother urging her to do something productive with the company. After finally getting some free time from her work as more or less as a desk jockey for the company headquarters in Japan, Sonia heard of the new expansion pack, Homesteading the Noosphere, and was eager to try it out. She was of course logged in during the time of the Apocalypse.

Personality: Sonia Gaumont tends to be happy-go-lucky to the point of being overbearing. She is an optimist who is not used to the rigors of the real world thanks to her inherited wealth and having most of her needs taken care of by others. Still, this does not mean she is a recluse, as Sonia has at least a few friends and admirers outside.

Never having any money problems did not mean she was not careful with her money. She was taught an extensive amount about business management and basic finance though Sonia never did like anything serious such as these lessons. In addition, any job that she did have to do was always a desk job, nothing that required physical labor due to her familial status. Despite this, Sonia always likes a challenge.

Basic Infomation:

Kusanagi Yuuta
"Duke Galahad, the Questing Knight"
Human, age 23
Level 90 Guardian
Level 88 Noble

History

Ever since he was young, Yuuta had been enthralled by Arthurian tales and stories he would read from his local library. The boy found something so heroic and so noble about the fantastical knights that it would leave a lasting impression on him. Unconsciously, he attempted to emulate the actions and manners of what he perceived to be a true knight, virtuous, noble, heroic and brave.

Unsurprisingly, Yuuta’s love of knights translated well into games where he would always be seen wearing some type of heavy armor with a shield in one hand and a lance or sword in the other. The digital knight found pleasure in role playing in games like the heroes he’d still read and research in his free time, and Elder Tales was no exception. Taking a knightly name for himself, “Galahad” spent a great deal of time playing the game and eventually gained a reputation for the completion of so many quests including the trivial side and radiant quests. Such actions thus earned him the unofficial nickname “the Questing Knight”. Much of his equipment and abilities are actually quest rewards of some form or another.

Diving deep into role playing, Elder Tale allowed him to really become the knights he had read about and adore, even picking a questionably useful subclass of “Noble” to help with it and rose to the rank of “Duke”. In due time, Yuuta joined a guild of fellow knights called “Fate Grand Order”. Although Yuuta rose through the ranks and gained a reputation as a chivalric fighter, the Order was torn apart by internal strife and members leaving for real life reasons until all that was left of the guild was Yuuta who, as he often did, made the ending like that of a story. Taking the sword that once represented the guild, he stuck it into a stone in a forest clearing with a text below stating “To whom draws the blade, doth whom become legend.” To this day, Yuuta has no idea if the sword is still there or has since been taken.

When the Catastrophe came, it hit Yuuta with a mix of excitement but mostly shock, now realizing he would never be able to live out the life he wished. Needless to say, he went a little crazy and just wandered around in a haze like so many in the opening days before he fell off a bridge and into a river. He didn’t even make an attempt to swim back up but as he did, he hear a voice whisper in his ear and as he await respawning, he saw the figure of a woman who called for him to drink from her chalice. Something within him told Yuuta immediately that this woman as the “Lady of the Lake” he had read about in so many quests and text even if he couldn’t explain the feeling or realization. It's said that at that point he kneeled before her and swore a knightly oath to her to which he drank deeply from the holy waters of the chalice. When Yuuta awoken, he had now fully taken on the mantle of his digital persona; where Yuuta had drowned in the lake, Galahad arose in his place, invigorated with the strength and blessing that seems to go far beyond the simple buff he had in game.

Personality

Yuuta as a person is a fairly level headed guy sometimes to the point of apathy. This side comes out the most when facing down danger as his permanent status affects make him unable to feel fear which is strange even to him. He still strives to live up to some form of the knight vows and virtues with some leeway on some areas but what sets him out the most is his devotion to a divine patron. Everyday he offers prayers to the Lady he speaks of and dedicates his victories in her name. While this has certainly marked him out as an eccentric individual by most, Yuuta takes pleasure in knowing he has someone watching out for him in this new world.

Basic Infomation:

Hitotatchi Shiroe
Tachyon
Human, age 25
Level 90 Summoner
Level 90 Necromancer


History

If there was a need for inspiration for the world's greatest tragedy, Shiroe's former life would have been it. Born to an apathetic mother and a drunkard father who would beat Shiroe when they weren't shouting at each other, it would seem that life was determined to fuck Shiroe up. Few if any friends, failing grades, no physical achievements, no talents, no money, to say that Shiroe had been dealt the worst hand possible in the game of life would be an understatement.

Despite this, Shiroe didn't let it break him. While many would presume that a child like him would fall into depression and commit suicide or become a recluse with angst and edge in their shadow, Shiroe was a never ending fountain of positive vibes with an upbeat personality. There have been more than a few people who have concluded that Shiroe must have some mental illness which causes all of this, but he has none to speak of besides a mild case of dyslexia and a rather poor memory. The boy knew his misfortune and bad luck, he knew all his shortcomings and failures but he accepted it and made it his mission to be the foundation and pillar of a building instead of the shiny exterior or the crowning monument in front. He worked his ass off trying to make money and get into good schools with mixed results, but none of his teachers could ever really hate him for his poor grades and attendance.

On more than one occasion Shiroe would however escape into a digital world behind a locked door and finally be able to interact with people. Elder Tale provided the perfect world for the youth to ignore everything else and just forget about the world outside for a few hours. He picked the Summoner class and went down the Necromancer line after reading up about it online. Shiroe would never tell anyone about it, but one of the reasons he picked summoner was so that he would never have to travel alone and with necromancy he would never have to worry about his companions dying on him. Such a love of this one game carried through with him all the way to college.

When the Catastrophe hit, Shiroe had felt the same shock as everyone else but there was also a silver lining of relief. He was free from his previous life, safe from the yelling and the fighting.

Personality

In defiance of the traditional stereotypes of what a Necromancer is, Shiroe is far less villainous and far more outgoing and chill than what many would think of when they think of necromancers. Its as if his very soul is so great that nothing could tarnish the easy-going and relaxed nature he gives off. Almost nothing fazes him, no insult, no slander, no lie can really affect him. Even someone stabbing him would only cause Shiroe to question the stabber with an almost disappointment tone. Full of optimism, Shiroe accepts whatever misfortunes comes to him with a smile and seeing as he is still quite unlucky to this day, he smiles a lot. He's a bit odd and eccentric, but his motives are rarely ever foggy due to a good moral compass

He’s an honest, hard-working and down to earth type of individual with a reputation built off being one of the few necromancers who isn’t paralyzed by fear at his own summons and creations. The word “white necromancer” could almost be applied to Shiroe as he tends to act selflessly and seeings then positively unlike the generic, angsty emo necromancer. While many see necromancy as the diving into of dark magics and death, Shiroe sees it as a celebration of life saying "In order to understand death, you have to first understand life".

Name: Arthur Cunningham

Username: Aries "The Triumphant Reaper" (He does not maintain the nickname on the Japanese server.)

Age: 18

Race: Human

Class and Level:Assassin Level 90

Subclass and Level: Level 90 Gladiator

Guild: N/A

Bio: Arthur, as his name suggests, is not native to Japan despite playing Elder Tale on the Japanese server. His story begins in the nation of Great Britain, being born in the countryside being a brother to 8 sisters. Being the third oldest in the household, he found his life to be a constant case of having to protect his younger siblings, and having to constantly pander to his two older siblings, which made him find himself in a limbo of sorts, where he could never truly find the companionship he desired from his family, or never find somebody that he could associate with and look up to, somebody in the same situation as him.

Having reached the young age of 9, his family had moved to the nearby city of York in the name of work, which is where Arthur first began to go to a public school. Although he was smart, his social inexperience made him find himself unable to find anybody to speak to, and as a result, he was mistakenly taken for somebody who was antisocial when in fact, he was just shy and lacking in ability in conversation. This lead to a bad development for Arthur, who mistakenly saw his own lack of popularity as something that stemmed from his own superiority which led him to him possessing a large ego.

In his secondary school was where Arthur luckily found his friends due to the fresh start that he received, and this is where he first encountered Elder Tale. Firstly dismissing it as a waste of time and a 'trashy rpg', his friends pestered him to try it and despite his initial criticisms, he became hooked on the gameplay and the escape from reality it provided, as he could never truly fit in with those around him, and instead, he could be whoever he wanted within this virtual world of his. It was a nice escape from life and the stress that his studies were placing on him.

Due to his enjoyment of the game, he found new motivation for life and found himself trying exceptionally hard in his studies, leading to him graduating his secondary school with extremely good grades, allowing him to get into the college he desired. He saw it as bizzare, as games were usually things that prevented you from achieving what you wanted, and as things used for procrasination, but as he found himself using the experience as something to drive him, and aspiring to be like the character he created, he found himself improving his social skills and his circle of friends.

Arthur had gotten so into the game that he had gained notoriety as one of the servers best pvpers, even earning the nickname as the "Triumphant Reaper" due to his extremely high w/l ratio and his usage of a scythe, something that was rare amongst players of the assassin class, as they tended to opt for stealthier, smaller weapons.

A short time before the novasphere pioneers, Arthur had chose to go to university in Japan due to an international scholarship that he'd received. Having taken the language, he was somewhat fluent yet he found himself struggling to speak in advanced terms, so he ended up coming to Japan in order to find himself gaining a stronger grasp of the language. Unluckily for him however, the apocalypse occurred sometime after he had transferred his account to the Japanese server, leaving Arthur stranded in a new world without many friends or anyone he knew. He found himself up to the challenge however, he had always desired a new start in life.

Personality:

Arthur is an extremely unique individual in a number of regards. The most notable trait about Arthur is his massive ego and superiority complex. He believes himself to be better than the majority of people at whatever he does, and only acknowledges those who are able to prove that they are better than him in that field. However, this complex is not always evident, as he doesn't often state his actual beliefs in this regard unless provoked on the matter. This lead him to have a reputation in PvP as somebody who was exceptionally humble even though the opposite was the case.

Arthur has changed significantly since encountering the world of Elder Tale as well. Whilst he used to be introverted for the most part, he finds himself being a strong social figure and constantly trying to find jokes and happiness in everything that happened to him. This was extremely prominent in his raiding parties, and although he wasn't part of a guild, he found himself being continuously invited to numerous large raids due to the reputation he had gathered as somebody who made the mood of boss fights that much better.

Despite his ego, Arthur himself is somebody who is incredibly analytical and intelligent. This showed in his studies and school grades, and continues to show through elder tale. When he isn't angry, he finds himself with exceptional decision making ability in social and combat scenarios.

Arthur is not all fun and smiles however. He has severe flaws, namely in narcissism and extremely bad anger issues. One thing that he was not able to overcome in the changes that he made with himself was his extremely bad temper, and he finds this coming out at the worst of times. Whilst he is able to suppress it when around significant company, he finds himself blinded by rage when something greatly upsets him, and this leads him to do things that are completely uncharacteristic of him, or of the Arthur that most people are familiar with. Whether this rage will carry on through the game and lead him to do something he will greatly regret is uncertain.

Appearance:

Name: Chiaki Uehara

Username: U2ehara

Age: 18

Race: Foxtail

Class and Level: Bard Level 83

Subclass and Level: Diva Level 90

Guild: Currently unaffiliated.

Bio: Normal and vanilla were the flavors of Chiaki's life for the longest time. Born to a pretty traditional Japanese family, her parents worked late and she was basically a latch key child all the way through to high school. It was almost depressing how boring her life was with the standard affair of friends that shared no interests, only a classroom and teachers that had no passion, only a paycheck and a time slot. She wasn't a poor student nor was she a great one...just...average.

At the end of her first year of high school though, some sort of rebellious streak hit her where she just stopped giving a shit what anybody thought of her. Staying out late and ditching were pretty standard fair for her at that point, and soon whatever sort of friends she had drifted away. Not that it mattered much to her, as in her free time getting away from the normalcy of everyday life, she took up a new pastime of learning to play guitar from a homeless man. And no, she doesn't even remember why she started or took interest in it. It was just...a fleeting desire she followed to some degree of actually loving it. The lessons she got from an old washed up musician that probably blew it all on hookers and booze were a lot more important to her than the ones given by an old stiff with a stick up his ass.

Of course, wanting to grow up to be a rock star was probably the most naive sounding dream for anyone to hear. Spending her money on a guitar was a little secret she kept as she resumed her lessons, eventually turning to online games to try and deal with her complete lack of a social life beyond getting mocked. Eventually however, she came across Elder Tale and pretty much instantly created a bard in a more rebellious image of herself. Save for the hair and obvious fox ears, she pretty much tried to create her ideal self in the game and experimented with the surprisingly in depth music creation system to become a rock star in a fantasy world online. While laughable, it did actually help her improve bit by bit, what with the VR implementation that had become standard fare for most home computers capable of playing games.

Nobody expected the Apocalypse, but Chiaki was almost glad for it. Now, the exciting fantasy world were she was talented and actually kind of known to people that seemed to share interests was reality...and until the much crueler real world would return, she'd be living it up as a Bardic Rock Star.

Personality: Boisterous and just kind of a live wire, Chiaki could best be described as one of the most annoyingly lively people you'd ever meet. Whether it be her trying to convince you to invite her to a raid, or just party up with her to grind, she's annoyingly persistent to the point of borderline insanity. Unless she knows that it will definitely never happen, Chiaki is not one to try and give up at doing anything. She also seems almost infallibly joyful when with others, which makes it a bit weird that she hasn't stuck with any guild for long.

However, she's still prone to states other than jubilance. Mostly because of how often her dreams have been spat on by her peers, Chiaki is actually pretty lacking in self esteem and falters a lot if someone close to her degrades her, often turning to self depreciation to explain it. She's quick to get over it though...or just bottle it up for the sake of appearances. Even if someone depresses her to be around though, she isn't the type to abandon anyone for any reason, and that could be a reason for why she's so persistent with others.

Bio: Lorenzo was born in Spain to loving parents and as he went through the tradition k-12 program he learned he English and likes to play strategy games like chess. Throughout his life he learned to use the intelligence he was born with to his advantage and managed to get into a good college leaving his family behind. The funny thing is that Lorenzo wanted to be a game designer himself and learn to create games like Elder tail which was going to be his major as he explored college. However while he loved the game itself he simply didn't have the time to put his nose to the grindstone and level up as much as he wanted so as a result he isn't very high leveled and he soon stopped playing the game to focus on his studies. Once he had a little breathing room with his studies he went back to playing and wondering what changed the game and afterwards he realized he woke up in the game itself and you can guess from their...

Personality: Lorenzo himself wouldn't be much to look at however he prides himself in acting like a gentleman to women and being a nice person to everyone. Lorenzo was born in Spain and as a result understands Spanish but he learned to understand English in school. While Lorenzo isn't as handsome or strong as his classmates he did always pride himself in his intelligence and how well he could solve problems that presented themselves with enough time which is why he was always a fan of strategy games. Lorenzo always likes to think of himself as an activist and believes in being a rebel however he is not an anarchist for the very reason that he sees the reasoning behind rules that are placed while he wont agree with them and might not follow them he will not storm the castle to change it simply for that reason.
Overall Lorenzo is gentlemanly while is a smart and intelligent person when it comes to a game of strategy. He disobeys authority figures but wont attack the rules they follow simply because he doesn't agree with them.

Appearance:


Name: Makoto Watanabe

Username: Femina Bellator

Age: 31

Race: Human

Class and Level: Level 90 Kannagi

Subclass and Level: Level 1 Courtesan

Guild: None

Bio:
When she was a young girl, Makoto's parents divorced, forcing her to switch between households at the end of every week. Wanting to impress their daughter, both parents would often spoil her with whatever she wanted, which was how she would be introduced to the world of gaming. Having such an early background in gaming and a lot of time to spend on them, since her parents would often let her do whatever she wanted, she gained a lot of skill and experience that would help her win several competitions when she was old enough to meet the minimum age requirement.

By the time the cataclysm hit, Makoto had reached semi-fame status, having won most tournaments she entered, and if she didn't win at least placing in the top five. Now she looks for an at least semi-competent group of players to join, because even she knows that soloing an MMO is not a good idea.

Personality:
Makoto is a very capable player, having won many competitions and contests with her skill in gaming, and not restricted to any genre either. However, her long-time winning streak has caused success to go to her head, and while she can certainly back up her claims, there's no doubt that the woman is full of herself. Any party she joins can look forward to her reminders of how great she is at the game every several minutes. Unfortunately for her, when she had been brought into the world of Elder Tale, she had the misfortune of being placed into the body of one of her healer characters. She's glad that, at the very least, she spawned in the body that had already reached the game's previous level cap, but that doesn't change the fact that Makoto has always preferred taking her problems head on and she isn't afraid to let others know of her frustration at her predicament.
