Aggression and belligerence are the most defining features of "Apollyon's" psyche. His undying thirst for battle leads him to constantly challenge other players or the first to charge against a monster. The fact he has an orange player crystal doesn't bother him. Holding to himself a high standard of martial prowess, he rattles off and despises weakness of any sort such as hiding behind shields, cowering in armor or using trickery in battle. Its likely that part of him doing this is to aggravate other players into a fight. Apollyon cares little for where the blood flows, only that it does.

Sando Ichiya was never the most stable of individual, having spent much of his life as a delinquent. Falling into a bad crowd, if Ichiya wasn't trying to beat the shit out of someone, he was at the gym trying to hone his ability to beat the shit out of someone. As he aged, his belligerence only got worse as his anger management issues became increasingly apparent until it boiled over when he nearly beat another person to death. Arrested and imprisoned, part of his sentence was anger management therapy. His therapist, in a creative stroke, told Ichiya to play video games which would allow him to vent his anger and aggression in a form which wouldn't hurt others. His parents were at first outraged by it, being staunch anti-video game people all of Ichiya's life. However, Ichyia became to show signs of improvement and began to clean up.

When SAO rolled around, Ichiya was an avid gamer with a life with a good outlook for the first time ever. However, after it was revealed that SAO was all just a giant digital prison, he suffered extreme mental trauma, his mind unable to comprehend why he was suffering like this. He had paid his dues, he had done his time, and he was on the road to redemption. But to suddenly have all of that taken away from him drove him mad and he regressed into his old ways of aggression with increasing brutality and savagery. With a barely contained bloodlust, he is the first to throw himself into battle and the first to criticize any signs of weakness in anyone around him. As to if he just wants to kill or if he seeks his own death, unable to bring himself to suicide. [hr][color=ed1c24][b]Character class:[/b][/color] Warrior
