Andrew King was among one of the first people in line at the game store near his apartment. The tall, stocky American stuck out like a sore thumb in the Japanese crowd, but he didn't let it bother him. The man had already been here for a couple of months, working on his research concerning cultural differences in nutrition. Coming to Japan had always been a dream of his, so the language barrier wasn't too bad for him. Being a huge fan of gaming in general, and knowing how highly anticipated this game was, there was absolutely no way he would turn down the chance to play it. Finally, when the clock struck midnight and the doors opened, he rushed in with the rest of the crowd to collect his copy.<br/><br/>Andrew wasted no time getting his game setup when he got home. After a quick late dinner, he hops in. “Andrew, launch!” The American called out in Japanese. He was immediately sent to the character creation and got to work designing the hero Armisiel. Standing at the max height available by the game with a strong, toned looking body, Andrew kept his character looking otherwise similar to him. The skin was slightly bronzed, his short black hair was left unkempt, and the look in his dark brown eyes showed someone who took joy in battle. With sword and shield in hand, he entered the world.<br/><br/>While he had missed out on getting into the beta, Andrew spent what free time he had reading up on all the info and watching some clips of gameplay. As such, it didn’t take him long to get used to playing as Armisiel. Handling a few of the quests along the outside of the first village, he manages to gain his first level quickly enough and earn a few basic items. With that done, he decides to head back to cash in his rewards and see if there are any players looking to group together.
