Who needs something like that?" Name: Elys [Mikuniyama, Kazuko] [/color] Age: 17 Gender: Female Height: 159 cm [previous avatar 176cm] Build: Slender Personality: One could consider therein to exist a divide between the individual known as ”Kazuko” and the avatar known as “Elys”. Kazuko tends to be reserved, shy, and keeps her gaze downtrodden.. There are few times when Kazuko leaves the safety of her room, snuggled away in her blankets and playing video games being her sole pleasure in her existence. Perhaps it has been more than a month or so as the teen had not shown up for any of her classes, accepting the lifestyle of a NEET to her own, if begrudgingly. Littered within her room are various degrees of instant foods. The only thing that really sticks out aside from her varying degrees of foodstuffs not yet thrown away, collected and forgotten about, would be her NerveGear headset, a drawing pad where she makes lewd drawing to sell to buy her games, and a lamp, of which she hardly uses, her eyes naturally adjusted to the dark of her room. Her bed remains mostly unused, more often than not passing out from exhausting upon her desk rather than any sort of regulated sleeping, from her consistent press towards her online games. Her single mother often attempts to force her out of her room, though after seeing the state of her daughter a few times, she believes it might be for the best that she grows out of her phase naturally, though she had cut off her spending money. There once existed a, although not really a ray of sunshine, a rather content girl, who simply wished to finish school and live a quiet life. Though the previous dream might be dead, at least she could “live” her life, barely scraping by through her art. One could not really call this a “life”, staying herself in the depths of her delusions and escapism, but at the very least Kazuko believes it much better than putting up with the constant and consistent belittling, and the lack of disciplinary action against those who had wronged her. At least, in the world of her games, she could pretend to be someone else. Someone with the power to prevent others from belittling her to this extent. Elys, the pseudonym Kazuko uses as her avatar in most games, tends to on the scale of bombastic, suave, and stylish, and never averting their gaze from what is before them, often more than not taking on the role of a leader. The sort of person who would never let another insult her, nor insult those she cares about. The sort of person strong enough, at least on outward appearance, who could easily brush away inconveniences and focus on what matters the most to them at a given time. They will say what they are feeling, never bottling up their emotions like Kazuko would in her average day when she had went to school. However, there is also another key difference and that Elys tends not to be a female, but rather a male. Perhaps this is due to some sort of idealization of what she believes a male to be, often brazen and the first into battle, and often utilizing crude language styles, even within voice communications, through various degrees of filters and the like. Or perhaps something deep within Kazuko wishes for companionship similar to Elys, given that her first “relationship” ended with pretty steady disaster. In the world where an individual’s appearance is copied and displayed for the gamers to see after the realization of their folly with purchasing a [shitty game] death game, Elys and Kazuko will have to find a balance between one another. Background: High school is a time for change in everybody’s life.. Those fortunate enough, or with enough investment, to have been able to obtain a position at a reputable school, one’s future could be guaranteed so long as they continue trying. But this was not the case for Kazuko. Though she was never really one for social interaction, there was no reason why anyone in class would even look towards the teen. They simply did as they were told; went to school, were moderately successful at exams, and they were not in a club. Though not unpopular, she didn’t seem to have many friends either. Overall, an uninteresting individual who seemed they could not draw the ire or favor of many around her, aside from teachers and staff for her respectful demeanor. Perhaps this simplicity is what drew a rather unsavoury individual to her presence. A senior, a year ahead of her, had eyed her with less-than-savoury eyes; upon an incident in which the man had tried to pressure the underclassman into a position she felt less comfortable with, as if a flight or fight response, Kazuko struck the senior with all the strength she could muster and ran away. She had wished this would be the end to the issues, an end to her problem. But unfortunately for her, the boy had in his youthful brashness spread ill-spirited rumors about a supposed relationship between the two. Included in this was the girlfriend of the senior, a fellow classmate of Kazuko, who had made it her goal now to strike out against the innocent girl for her rumored actions to seduce her boyfriend. It did not take long for the signs to begin. At first, there existed a few absences here and there, which due to their sporadic nature could have been written off as a cold, but these assumed hardly connected absences began appearing more frequently, to the point where in her second year of school, Kazuko refused to go to classes anymore.. With no one to rely on, her fragile friends abandoning her, and the berating she received through a chance interaction she had no control over, there was nothing to her in school aside from misery. Instead, she placed herself into the digital world. A world where she could pretend to be anyone she wanted; someone who unlike her plot in life could have agency over her interactions, and could meet friends without the negative stigma of her name being attached to any interactions she came across. In addition to this, despite being a girl, Kazuko tends to create male avatars in her games, often getting into relationships with female in-game characters, whom she attempts to romance to the best of her ability as she believes another girl would wish to be taken.
