Username: Allune
IRL Name: Sara White
Age: 16
Sex: Female
Theme: Optional.
Background: Born the second child to a rather modest family, Sara is the youngest daughter of a baker and police officer. Despite her modest circumstances, she lived a rather pleasant childhood, with a caring older brother, and a loving family. She proved to be quite bright as a child, Sara and her brother were well educated at a young age and were taught manners as well as many homely skills such as cooking and cleaning. Throughout their childhood, Sara's older brother would often take her into the city to play with other children. Sara had difficulty making friends, she was shy and was known for her gentle and sensitive demeanor, while her brother was well respected and outgoing.
With her parents often busy with work for long hours, Sara latched onto her brother Logan, as a source of comfort and guidance, and formed a strong bond with him. Her brother raised and taught her almost as much as their parents did, and Sara obediently followed in his every step. This included her brother's love of video games. When she was younger, she would often sit in her brother's room and watch him play video games with his friends or by himself. Occasionally, her brother would invite her to play as well. The connection between her brother and video games would later lead her to become a bit of a gamer herself. a
When her brother announced that he had gotten a scholarship to a prestigious technology school on the other side of the country, Sara was heartbroken. Before he left though, Logan bought Sara a LexNav headset and a copy of the new VRMMO, Aether Online. The two siblings promised that they would play with each other, and Sara eagerly immersed into the game, eager to be able to play games with her brother.
Personality: Shy and timid, Sara is a quiet young girl with quiet and passive demeanor. This level headed young girl tries her best to stay brave and rational in the face of hardship and adversity, despite her youth and inexperience. Honest and trustworthy, Sara is compassionate and kind, if a little soft-spoken and a bit of a wallflower. Loyal to a fault, Sara cares deeply about her loved ones, and is willing to go to great lengths to defend those she cares about. Very down to earth, Sara doesn't react well to surprises and prefers familiar and comfortable to extraordinary and otherworldly. Sara can be rather self conscious, and has a habit of second guessing herself, despite any talents she may possess.

Writing SampleAllune gave a satisfied sigh as she lightly sipped on a glass of hot liquid. It tasted like tea. More than just a satisfying tea, Allune watched in interest as her MP bar began recovering at an increased rate, ultimately topping off at a full 100 points. Allune sat on the top of a grassy hill, her virtual body being bathed by a golden sun in a cloudless blue sky. As she felt the wind grip at her hair, and her bare feet pressing against the almost surreal soft grass, Allune realized why her brother loved VR games. Aether Online was filled with hundreds of picturesque vistas just like this one, managing to fit everything from beaches and oceans, to forests, and grassy hills like this one, all in one game world. It was a far cry from the real world- her home in cloudy, dreary Seattle, where the was rarely more than a few hours of sunlight a week, and gray and blue were overwhelmingly the most common colors in the city.
From her spot up on the hill, Allune could see several people below her fighting with the countless numbers of goblins in the fields below. They were likely doing the quest that she had just complete, defeating some ten goblins to retrieve a handful of little black marbles that the quest NPC- this little boy in sandals and a farmers tunic standing at the top of the hill- the only area relatively safe from monster spawns. The quest itself was relatively simple, goblins were among the weakest enemies in the game- not the level 1 enemies that they trained on when they were just starting out, but they were pretty simple to defeat enemies- even when they were slightly higher level than you. They were more difficult due to their numbers and aggressiveness rather than their sheer strength or tenacity.
The quest reward for returning the marbles to the kid was a cup of MP restoring tea and a loaf of HP restoring bread. Allune had already consumed the bread, and with the tea, she was back at full HP and MP. Both the bread and tea were delicious, and were the first bits of 'food' that Allune had consumed in the game as of starting it up. It was a fairly low level quest, so Allune figured the quest was to introduce people to the idea of eating food in the game- as several cooking quests
were available in the starting town of Sanctuary. Allune had at first passed up on those quests, believing cooking to be silly, and desiring to catch up to her brother, but now, she might go back and give them a try.
Getting to her feet, and straightening her robe, Allune tossed the empty cup, which disappeared into a cloud of blue shards as soon as it left her hand- the same had happened with the paper from the load of bread. At least they wouldn't have to worry about littering. Allune pulled up her menu and began looking around for a new quest- she had to make some headway to catching up with her brother- the man was a hardcore gamer if ever there were any, and had advanced past level 18 by the time Allune had reached 9. She had a lot of work ahead of her if she wanted to eventually catch up with him. He had told her that he'd help her quest a bit after her first class advancement, which was only one level away, so Allune searched for a quest that could bump her the rest of the way to level 10.
Allune's search was brought to an abrupt stop, as the green field and blue sky were suddenly bathed in a burnished orange, as the sky dyed itself red. “Greetings adventurers, I am the Dark Lord!”, the figure introduced itself. In continued to explain to the server populace what was going on, and as he spoke, Allune came to the realization that she was incapable of logging out now. Allune gave a small gasp of fear at what that meant for them all. As he finished and disappeared, the world returned to its beautifully bright state that it had originally been in. Though now, the beauty seemed almost marred by the tone this 'Dark Lord' left.
"This can't be real, right? She asked herself, more than the other players who were gathering at the top of the hill around her.
What would happen if they died in the game? How would they sustain themselves? Was this a moderator's idea of a prank? That and other questions rapidly ran through Allune's head before she remembered that her brother was still in the game. What if he was in danger as well? The guy had always loved getting in over his head in these games- that was just how he played, whereas Allune was considerably more conservative and safety conscious. Allune began heading back to Sanctuary, maybe he was there, maybe she could find him, and then maybe they could figure out what to do.
