Matias Rodriguez grew up surrounded by noise. Born into a large family, Matias never really understood quiet. His house was restless and energetic at all hours, from the moment his Mom kicked open everyone's doors to drag them out of bed to when his father headed to bed just moments before sunrise. He never really understood the concept of silence. He was just like his siblings, running before he could walk and shouting before he could whisper. And when you're surrounded by noise, you have to be louder to be noticed he quickly learned.

His eldest sibling, Maria, was hailed as a musical prodigy. She grew up playing the piano and the violin and loved the spotlight. Trailing Maria by a year was Eduardo, a serious and driven man who held all the hallmarks of an elite business man. Mateo and Matias took to spiking his drinks with vodka on the weekends. Vodka Eduardo knew how to relax, unlike sober Eduardo. Mama would always chastise the two but the twitch of her mouth always undercut her lecture. His younger sister Sofia was an artist at heart. She currently studied at SCAD for animation and design, focusing in 3D. On her final year, her senior project had already attracted the attention of Pixar.

Matias and Mateo were the middle children – identical twins in fact. Suffering from the dreaded middle child syndrome, Matias and Mateo quickly earned their reputation for tricks and pranks. Their shenanigans landed them and their siblings in trouble more than once and the hospital nearly as many times. As they grew older, their antics grew more and more complex each year and through it, Matias discovered a knack for machinery and a love for engineering. Mateo discovered an unadulterated loathing for both subjects and instead fell in love with acting and singing.

The pair, despite being nearly attached at the hip, did develop a competitive relationship. Everything turned into a contest, from running downstairs to household chores, and though it excited their parents at first, several broken sets of china and a TV later quickly caused them to intervene. They introduced the two to video games soon after the TV incident. Better to have them duke it out on virtual items than replacing something every other day after all.

Talrae was a graduation present/congratulation present to the twins. The year it released, Matias graduated UCF at the top of his class and Mateo landed a role in an up and coming musical on Broadway. The pair had been forced to separate two years past but gaming had kept the pair in contact. It had been Sofia's connections that guaranteed them two copies. The second they could, the twins logged in.

“Bippity boppity back the hell up!” Matias screamed as he blew the eye out of one of the monsters.

“You still say that garbage?” Mateo snickered as he rolled out of the way of another.

“Just because you're lame now that you're a star doesn't mean you gotta rain on my parade.” Matias grumbled as he turned tail and ran, shoving his brother ahead of him. It was just a simple gathering trip. Head to the resource, head back to town. Simple right? No. Two right turns landed them in a monster's nest and now they were fighting for their lives.

“Yeah well my -damn it! Stupid trees!- talent is locked in this damn game now! I worked my ass off for that spot and -Can they stop throwing things?!- for what?” Mateo panted as he ducked, “To be locked in a shitty – well no its gorgeous, almost as gorgeous as me- game? What the hell am I gunna do when we get out?! They literally give no shits in show business and now my reputation is-” Mateo screamed.

Matias whipped around and froze. His brother struggled against the claws of one of them. His health plummeted. Matias started firing as quickly as he could. His hand shook. A few bullets hit his brother. More hit the monster. The thing wouldn't let go until it shattered with a howl. A he scrambled for their health potions. They hadn't prepared properly. He looked up. The kitchen, glass shattering, his abuelita's favorite wine glass crashing to the floor, him and his brother bolting to their room. It was so far away. It seemed like it took hours. He paused by the gate of his room. He frowned. His room didnt have a gate. He turned to Mateo but he wasn't there. The house wasn't there. Only a road into Genisis city. And no Mateo.

Not much can really be said about the user known as Uchaka’s backstory as for most of her life she has been a shut it who has always felt outcast by society given her family essentially disowning her when she refused to join the family business and forge her own path in Germany. While it was working for her, she was alone in a new region of the world where most people saw her as an immigrant who had little to offer in their society, which was partly true as she could never say that she flourished in Germany as she had hoped.

Eventually, after a few attempts to make it big, she was forced to return to her home in Japan where she would join her family’s business being an accountant. Not only did most of her family still not like her, but she hated the job of accounting that she had been stuck in. That was when she started to get into VR games, primarily to let off steam and have fun.

In Telrae, she actually found herself becoming a mage and in the few hours that she had played was instantly hooked. Then, everyone had become trapped. Uchaka was frantic to do what she could but being a weak mage at the time all she could do was party up and go after bosses in a desperate attempt to reach the 100th floor which she was nowhere near. Having spent all her money on spells and her party eventually being wiped with her being among one of the only survivors was nearly forced into starvation. Uchaka pleaded with passerby’s on the road for food but many of them hoarded it to themselves. That was when she ambushed two other players and killed them, taking their loot and their food.

Now she was rejected by a fictional society as well, with a red name tag show that she was a murderer. To fit that person she crafted herself a skull mask and keeps it over her face so that none may know what she’d look like in the real world.

Background:

One of the most promising minds of the age, Masato is currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science before the event of Talrae happened, specifically about the FullDive technology used in Virtual Reality and its effects both short-termed and long-termed. Grew up in an eccentric, formal yet highly-educated family, Masato was pressured into following the family tradition, in which all of family members were grown to finish university with at least a Master's degree in their hands. One may have thought the family might be a little bit too pressing on such a child like him, but he surprisingly kept on with the tradition, as he landed a scholarship abroad for various high schools and later universities relatively easily.

His passion in Computer Science emerged as he was among the first generations to experience the technological revolution, in specifically VR technology. He was only seven when he first dived into his first VR game, which is actually a retake on one of the most popular games of the previous century. Born a curious child, and amazed by the technology, he was motivated to study Computer Science as a result. As the child's wonder and curiosity did not conflict with his education (due to good self-control) and the family's interests, everybody gladly let him had his world. VR games served as his entertainment tool ever since.

Masato studied university in England for four years before returning to Japan, one of the leading countries in technological advancement. There, he managed to get himself a pretty well-paid but tiring job at a tech company, but he left after a year, after finding it too boring and soul-consuming. He returned to academia and enrolled in a PhD course at one of the universities near his place, with the intention of re-emerging in the world he once was so curious about.

By the time Talrae happened, Masato was in the second year of his doctoral studies, doing research and gathering information for his thesis paper. Seeing how Talrae was one of the most popular VRMMO RPG games of all time, he found it to be a great opportunity for both his studies and relaxation. He wasted no time purchasing a copy of the game and entered the game under the name Steven. Now who knows if, and how, he would be able to continue that research and relaxation now.

Personality:

The first impression ever to come out of this young man is his near silent attitude. He rarely ever speak not out of shyness, but because he did not find the necessity to talk to other people. He is a clear scientific definition of an introvert, someone who is more concerned with one's own thoughts and feelings rather than external things. His social and communication skills is, to everybody's surprise, relatively decent. Once engaged in a conversation, he is perfectly capable of maintaining it, or even extending it. It's just that him being interested in a casual conversation is not something to be granted.

An adapter in many situations, he firmly believes that those who are more responsive to changes are the ones who will succeed. As a result Masato usually emerges with a calm head and a cool face, rarely ever losing his temperament and formality even in critical situations. As he is usually seen wandering with his thoughts and own complexities, you can never guess what is in his mind when he does not speak. But it does not necessarily mean that he is a heartless person. By contrast, he is actually quite a sweetheart and compassionate when it comes to people going through hard times, and he will try his best to assist you to be successful if you are and beyond friends with him, in his own ways.

After riskily spent all of his Renn in learning skills and buying items, Steven found himself in a tough scenario, as he was without place to stay or food to eat. He had to spend the first night in the street without food. But as rational and efficient he is, Steven soon sprang into action as he embarked on making money out of what he has. He initially spent most of the second day farming weak monsters, for marginal profit to buy ingredients and rent an inn for stays. When night came, he journeyed into town, collecting data of item prices and ingredients and calculated the profit for each craft, finding out which items would give him the most Renn for each craft. For the next week, Steven mostly, if not only, focused on crafting weapons and sell them to NPCs, earning him quite a lot of money, stabilizing his life for the current time being

As Steven particularly avoids large combat and spent all his time on crafting and enriching himself, he did not invest in learning further actions yet. Until now
