				Screen Name: Dvalin<br><br>Real Name: Takayama Masamune<br><br>Age: 21<br><br>Gender: Male<br><br>In-Game Race: Leprechaun<br><br>In-Game Appearance: Dvalin is not a very stereotypical Leprechaun, he is quite high for his race, standing 5’8 tall with big a long lean body, not very broad shoulders but big powerful arms. His hair is light blue and arranged in a spiky backwards moving pattern to keep hair from his face. Most of the time he wears a pair of goggles, to protect his eyes from the intense light flashes that, occurs when he forges high grade magical items. The goggles make it almost impossible for him to see indoors except in his forge where the smelting oven and the materials lights through the heavily tinted glass. When he is not wearing goggles his icy blue eyes tend to make people think he’s always glaring when he looks at someone. He usually wears a dragon skin blacksmiths apron he made for himself from the skin of his first slain dragon. In battle he wears a black plate armor though without a helmet.<br><br>Real World Appearance: In real life Masamune is a frail looking young man, he was in a car accident when he was little that left him paralyzed from the waist down. His legs, what he calls meat sticks, are thin and haven’t been used for years. He rolls around in a super light weight wheelchair, pushing himself around in this thing has given Masamune unusual muscles growth in his arms, resulting in, like in his character, an unusual upper body strength. During the evens of SAO when all other people was reverted to their real world appearance, the program bugged, letting Masamune keep the legs of his character, while the rest was changed. <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/087/2/4/breakblade_girge_by_v_sil-d3co77y.jpg)</div></div><br>In-Game Personality: In game Dvalin is known as one of the two greatest blacksmiths in all of Alfheim, sharing this honor with SAO survivor Lisbeth, his great rival. Dvalin is intensely loyal to his regular customers, often going out of his way to acquire special materials and equipment to make better and better gear for his friends and allies. He is always the last to give up at a given task, and always the first to rise and work in the mornings. He is quite a workaholic, his disability giving him insane amounts of time in ALO, his shops motto is “Order today, pick-up tomorrow” on large orders.<br><br>In-Game Position: Dvalin has two shops, one in the Leprechaun capital that is now solely used as the sales house, as no new wares are Forged there with the exception of items during the Festical of the Forge. His other shop is located in quite a big building on the 4th floor of Aincrad and this is also where he entertains his friends<br><br>Real World Personality: Masamune always seem happy and eager to be with others. He is well loved by his friends and those around him. He is altruistic by nature and loves to share what he has with his friends. His family is wealthy which gives Masa money to spend with his friends. He is known to host parties that always ends up as the highlights of the month<br><br>Skills:<br><br>General and Passive skills<br>•Slash Weapon Forging<br>•Thrust Weapon Forging<br>•Blunt Weapon Forging<br>•Light Metal Armor Forging<br>•Heavy Metal Armor Forging<br>•Metal Equipment Repairing<br>•Metal Refining<br>•Acrobatics<br>•Extended Weight Limit<br>•Heavy Metal Equipment<br>•Equipment Appraisal<br>•Tool Appraisal<br>Combat Skills<br>•One-handed War Hammer<br>•One-handed Dagger<br>•Darkness Magic<br>Racial<br>•Blacksmith<br>•Flight<br><br>Equipment:<br>&lt;&lt; Dvalin’s Maul &gt;&gt; A huge one handed maul made by Dvalin himself during the Leprechaun festival of the Forge were every item gets a chance to get a huge buff to stats or class. One of only two weapons of the mysterious Ancestral item level, the other being a weapon forged by Lisbeth during the same festival. At first glance there is little special about the stats of this weapon from a warrior’s perspective, but to Blacksmiths such as Dvalin it’s unique item ability &lt;Blessing of the Forge&gt; is highly useful, as it decreases the amount of materials needed to make unenchanted weapons, armor and tools by quite a bit by limiting the amount of resources wasted under forging. Other than this it carries a medium fire enchantment. It is also distinguished by from creation to have been restricted to Dvalin. <br><br>&lt;&lt; Stygian plate armor &gt;&gt; a gift from fellow Blacksmith and rival Lisbeth after Dvalin agreed to share resources with her when they were both involved with the Leprechaun guard.<br><br>&lt;&lt; All-biter &gt;&gt; a little curved dagger he got as a loot drop from &lt;&lt; Primordial Lion &gt;&gt; it is made of the creature's bone and fang, and it is unique in that it cannot be repaired by currently known means. Dvalin carries it around, hoping to find the way to repair it in the future.<br><br>History:<br>Masamune had since his accident been attracted to computers and gaming in general, he quickly became an ace in strategy games but quickly found them boring as the interaction with other players was limited. He soon turned to MMO’s as a way to get more in contact with people. He quickly found that he had little patience for the constant questing around and battling random monsters to get loot. He took up blacksmithing and started making better and better gear for himself. Now he could compete with the others against bosses, but didn’t have to do all the tiring grinding that annoyed him so much<br><br>When the beta for SAO started Masamune was quick to join, he again started his own blacksmiths shop, and during the beta he was one of the richest players as he seemed to be able to find even the most insane materials to produces wares from. This also helped him secure at good reputation, as most players liked him as he could afford to push down prices on his wares.<br><br>When SAO launched for real and Kayaba revealed his plan he instantly knew that this was for real. Instead of risking his life on the front against normal mobs Masamune founded the guild &lt;Forge World&gt; A guild of high level Blacksmiths who pledged to help the frontliners, in exchange for positions in their raids against the bosses. It was here that Masamune met Katsuo who would grow to become one of his closest friends<br><br>As it became evident that it was going to take time to get out of this place, he vowed to help Katsuo and his dojo, going as far as to supply Katsuo with a stack of Mithril weapons every two weeks to give to his students when they were done with their training.<br><br>Eventually SAO ended, and before getting locked out, he exchanged contact information with Katsuo and they met up repeatedly after the end of “The Death Game” as the media had dubbed SAO. Masamune, unlike most of his fellow &lt;Clearers&gt; felt an emptiness now that SAO was over, besides Katsuo and a few others, Masamune didn’t really have any friends.<br><br>When Alfheim Online came out Masamune was one of the first to join, making the Leprechaun character Dvalin, named after the Dwarven Master Blacksmith from ancient norse mythology. After about a week in Alfheim Online, Masamune sent out a mass email telling all he knew about the new game, and where to find him within<br><br>Let the shenanigans commence!

				<strong>Screen Name:</strong> Fuuko<br><strong>Real Name:</strong> Sakurazuka Mimi<br><strong>Age:</strong> 16<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><strong>In-Game Race:</strong> Spriggan<br><strong>In-Game Appearance:</strong> <br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Fuuko</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y331/ReverseAdonis/e1734bdc-10ee-4e9b-ba68-ca7080e80db0_zpsc5c475f1.jpg)</div></div><br><strong>Real World Appearance:</strong> <br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mimi</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y331/ReverseAdonis/asian-girl-99509882527_zpsd119c612.jpeg)</div></div><br><strong>In-Game Personality:</strong> Fuuko is well-known for being possibly the greatest coward in ALfheim Online. She doesn't often party up with others, and when she does she tends to keep herself in a support role or acting as a look-out. When on her own though it's not an uncommon sight to see her fleeing in terror from a giant mob of monsters at breakneck speed. She actually runs a small shop up on the first floor of the newly recreated Aincrad that sells materials and treasures found while adventuring in Aincrad . . . a sort-of pawn shop for treasures. She crafts her own swords as well, but doesn't try to sell them as much since she's no master blacksmith.<br><br>Fuuko is a kind and considerate girl who is friendly enough, when she isn't out doing her loner thing. Her primary goals in the game seem to be hunting down treasure and amassing a sizable in-game fortune, though the fact that she isn't a Spriggan is a little odd. In fact, so is her profession of selling support items considering how often she adventures alone. Really, nobody knows if she's particularly skilled in any way . . . well, other than her obvious talent at running away from even the least-impressive of monsters. <br><br><strong>Real World Personality:</strong> Mimi is . . well . . a little socially awkward. It's understandable though considering the trauma she went through during her time in SAO. She keeps to herself for the most part, eating alone at lunch and heading home right away after class. She can occasionally be seen running errands on her own, as it's well-known that she used money from a lawsuit during the SAO incident to live on her own in an apartment rather than deal with her highly overprotective parents and brother. She seems to have a bit of a thing for older men AND women, and both academic and strong types of people, judging by her hero worship of some of her teachers.<br><br><strong>Skills:</strong> <br>&lt;&lt;Passive Skills&gt;&gt;<br>Sprint<br>Equipment Appraisal<br>Detection<br>Acrobatics<br>Searching<br>Sewing<br>Slash Weapon Forging<br>Metal Refining<br><br>&lt;&lt;Racial Skills&gt;&gt;<br>Flight<br>Illusion Magic<br>Treasure Hunting Magic<br>Wall Run<br>Multi-Weapon Wielding<br>Night Vision<br><br>&lt;&lt;Combat Skills&gt;&gt;<br>Parry<br>One-Handed Straight Sword<br>Martial Arts<br><br>&lt;&lt;Sword Arts/Known Spells&gt;&gt;<br>Chest Detection: A Treasure Hunting spell that allows the user to detect nearby treasure chests.<br>Trap Detection: A Treasure Hunting spell that allows the user to detect nearby traps.<br>Defuse: A Treasure Hunting spell that allows the user to disarm traps with a certain probability.<br><br>Smokescreen: Illusion magic that obscures the view in an area dependant on one's Illusion Magic skill.<br>Transmogrification: The Illusion Magic spell to transform into a monster with abilities dependant on the user's stats.<br>Mirror Image: An Illusion Magic spell to make it seem like there are multiple copies of the user fighting in concert. Fuuko can only make two copies of herself at a time, at her current level.<br><br>Cross Slash: An Original Skill Fuuko developed to make up for the lack of skill support for dual-wielding, where she strings together a horizontal and vertical slash with her swords. While quick, it's not particularly impressive for obvious reasons.<br>Crescent Moon: An Original Skill Fuuko developed. Utilizing her high sprinting skill she lunges forward before dashing to the side in a wide crescent-shaped arc, dragging a sword along with her. It's useful for surprise attacks or suddenly moving out of the way, or even attacking a group of monsters . . . which is obviously a terrible idea.<br>Magnum Break: An Original Skill Fuuko developed for two swords. She leaps ahead in a shallow arc at top speed and brings both swords down on an enemy, smashing it down . . . it's essentially the only 'strong' attack Fuuko knows.<br>Ninefold Rakshasa: Fuuko's ultimate Original Skill, and the limit of her ability with dual-wielding at the moment. Fuuko lashes out with both of her swords in the lightning-fast, but beautiful to watch sword dance at a single enemy, striking nine times in succession. It's a far cry from Hero Kirito's skills, but she's working on it!<br><br><strong>Equipment:</strong> <br>&lt;&lt;Tsubakimaru&gt;&gt; A straight-edge Japanese-styled sword made of a red metal found on the lower levels of Aincrad. While not as powerful as other swords due to the properties of the metal, it's significantly lighter than other swords of it's size, allowing Fuuko to wield it easier.<br><br>&lt;&lt;Benibara&gt;&gt; Another straight-edge Japanese-styled sword made of the same red metal found early on in Aincrad. While it's attack power isn't anything spectacular, it's low weight stat makes it easier to wield in concert with Tsubakimaru, despite it's length.<br><br>&lt;&lt;Spidersilk Weave&gt;&gt; A cloth-type armor modeled after a Japanese kimono. It was created by using a rare drop from the rare monster Drider Queen called &lt;&lt;Queen's Silk&gt;&gt;, which Fuuko had crafted into a custom armor. It's weight stat is extremely light and it doesn't interfere with her movement as much as you'd think, making it perfect for the high-speed specialized girl.<br><br>&lt;&lt;Wind Trod&gt;&gt; A pair of enchanted boots that Fuuko found in a treasure chest that enhance her movement speed slightly.<br><br><br><strong>History:</strong> Like several other members of the ALO playerbase, she too is a survivor of the SAO incident. Her older brother was one of the many who waited in line to get ahold of a copy of Sword Art Online. Sadly, due to delays in getting home thanks to all the traffic, he was unable to play the game before he had to leave for his part time job. Even more unfortunate was the fact that his little sister decided to use his system and data to try playing the game before him . . . and was trapped in Akihiko's nightmare world of Aincrad.Needless to say Mimi was absolutely shocked that she wasn't able to log-out, and had come close to dying for real when she had tried to fight some low-level monsters before the big announcement happened. As things got more and more crazy in the game, Mimi stuck to herself and hid out as best she could on the first floor. Not exactly easy when you're clearly the youngest player in the game. Eventually she knew that she had to at least get off of the first floor, and focused on developing skills to keep her alive . . . namely the ability to run away. She was one of the first to max out the running skill, and worked with learning how to craft cloth armor and medicine, which she found she could sell for a sizable profit. Good-looking and comfortable clothes sold well for the people who didn't climb the tower, and the front-lines always needed medicine. In the end, despite never making it past the 50th floor herself, she survived Sword Art Online and got to resume her life in the real world.<br><br>In the time since she avoided the MMOs that utilized current-generation dive technology, and satisfied herself with console games and anime . . . but was never truly satisfied. As much as she was afraid of those other worlds, there was something about them that called out to the escapist part of her personality . . . and amazing world where she could be someone other than herself, and go on grand adventures. The danger might have been real in SAO, but so were the friendships she made in that world, and the fun she had adventuring. She hadn't paid attention to the shenanigans going on with the original version of ALfheim Online, but heard that they brough back Aincrad, so she decided to join the rebooted game just after her 16th birthday.<br><br>Interestingly enough, despite her youth the girl thrives in a skill-based game like ALfheim Online. Her father runs a renowned martial arts dojo, one that she attended half-heartedly as a little girl, but more seriously after the SAO incident. She's been in a few exhibitions wielding double hookswords or jians, and her natural speed and grace further lended to her skill. Once she joined ALO she attempted to copy the great hero Kirito's style and wield two swords at once since she knew how to do it in real life, and found that it was shockingly difficult to do in the game, forcing her to rely on daggers. Only recently has she become skilled enough to wield swords in that manner, and only lightweight low attack power ones . . . but she's trying!

She has a tendancy to wear blue jeans or skirts often accompanied by a tee-shirt,she also always wears tennis shoes unless of course she's dressed up for a special occasion. if she isn't wearing something&nbsp; like that then she is seen walking around in a school uniform. Lenna's breasts are the same size as her characters.<br><br><strong>In-Game Personality:</strong>&nbsp; She can be quite boisterous and loud very outgoing and friendly yet maybe a bit abrasive at times. She does know when to quiet down though and is a fiercely loyal friend.<br><br><strong>Real World Personality:</strong> In contrast with her boisterous character Lenna is incredibly shy and easily startled. This meek girl has difficulties socializing with people and always seems depressed.

When she was 8 years old she discovered the joys of video games and very quickly grew attached to them. 8 years had passed and&nbsp; she was 16 having fully immersed herself in gaming where she had many many friends she stumbled upon SAO and was soon one of it's many victims.<br><br>When Kayaba first announced the beginning of the death game she was among those who thought it a joke however she very quickly discovered the truth behind those words. After realizing how serious the situation truly was she began to work hard and became one of the &lt;&lt;Clearers&gt;&gt; on the front lines and was part of every boss raid from the beginning to the end.<br><br>During her two years in AINCRAD She became a relentless fighter&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;who sought the end of their imprisonment however she would still take several days at a time to relax.

It was true that those she killed had been bloodthirsty maniacs who enjoyed killing people but even so she had actually killed people.

				<strong>Screen Name:</strong> <del>~xCrowx~</del> Vox<br><strong>Real Name:</strong> Katsuya Rin<br><strong>Age:</strong> 23<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male<br><strong>In-Game Race:</strong> Salamander<br><br><strong>In-Game Appearance:</strong> <br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i.imgur.com/h1vUHpZ.jpg)</div></div><br><strong>Real World Appearance:</strong><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i.imgur.com/YO1lKRo.jpg)</div></div><br><strong>Real World Personality:</strong> Impulsively entertaining. Although he is humble and considerate, Rin bears an innate desire to be an attention-whore. Letting out said desire in small doses usually does procure the spotlight. It works well and fine when it works, but lack of acknowledgement/being ignored is one of his biggest pet-peeves.<br><br><strong>In-Game Personality:</strong> In contrast, Vox is a bit of a loner. Few people understand or know how the swordsman who doesn't seem to like partying with a lot of people got his rad-looking armor. Others have settled to the conclusion that he bought his way. Quiet and observant, the few times he speaks, the wolf-knight looking-guy feels like a fish out of water. Despite the spaghetti leaking from the crevices of his gear, Vox carries himself well enough in a fight. His technical eye serves the powerful play-style well. Not a clean fighter.<br><br><br><strong>Skills:</strong> <br><br>[Racial]<br><em>Enhanced Strength</em><br><em>Flight</em><br><br>[Passive]<br><em>Cooking<br>Tracking<br>Listening<br>Detection<br>Extended Weight Limit<br>X-Ray Vision<br>Sprint</em><br><br>[Combat]<br><em>Parry<br>Howl<br>Battle Healing<br>Emergency Recovery<br>Heavy Metal Equipment<br>Two-handed Sword<br>-Empty-<br>-Empty-</em><br><br><strong>Equipment:</strong><br><strong>Zinogre Blademaster</strong> - An intricate and menacing plate armor set lined with exotic digital fur. Purchased as DLC tied with the upcoming Monster Hunter sequel. Surprisingly viable and long-lasting despite the commercial, cynical origin. Thanks, Capcom!<br><br><strong>Zangetsu</strong> - Heavy and difficult to use, this giant blade is as unruly and untamed as the unpleasant edges which adorns it. It is a simple weapon with a simple objective in mind; to break whatever it makes contact with. Truly graceless and brutal, despite what its name may suggest.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> As an idol / television personality in Japan, Rin is well-versed in the art of self-deprecation to rouse laughs and the other vital art of selling photo-books. Outgoing, humble and patient, the affable idol seems to have everything in his life. Except a catharsis for his sweet, sweet nerdy hobby of live-action costumed hero worship. After years of applying and auditioning for various children's hero programs (and meeting bitter failures on each end), Rin was about ready to give up until a gig crossed him up with ALO. <br><br>The re-launch of the MMORPG had cross-over deals up the yin-yang in order for investors to recoup as much of their losses as possible from lawsuits, years of revenue lost and other fees associated with inadvertently sponsoring a madman's death game. Something Rin had little interest in, despite passing news of it years ago as with everyone else. ALfheim Online would feature gear from Monster Hunter, paid downloadable content featuring Hatsune Miku and there was even an option to change the log-in system voice to Wakamoto's rich persona! For a tidy sum of yens, of course. So when Rin discovers that yeah, he CAN put on rockin' armor and pretend like he's a Power Ranger then everything else is history.<br><br>Sure, he had to completely hide his real identity from everyone else in the game for fear of losing privacy. Sure, he had to make another account to show that he's playing in public. Sure, he had to spend real money for the Zinogre armor reskin. Sure, he had to turn down a recurring role in a police drama (that his agency was close to firing him about) so he'd have enough time to play the MMORPG but every time "Vox" looks at himself in an in-game mirror, it's worth it.<br><br>Should have named himself "Narcissus".

				<strong>Screen Name:</strong> Lina Wulf<br><strong>Real Name:</strong> Anna Svaan<br><strong>Age:</strong> 22<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><strong>In-Game Race:</strong> Salamander<br><strong>In-Game Appearance:</strong> <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm118/Sakura-hinata/Red%20haired%20anime%20girl/YoungerLufeanRaiWilliams.jpg)</div></div><br><strong>Real World Appearance:</strong><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii199/redhead_may/anime%20girls/favredheadtub.jpg)</div></div><br><strong>In-Game Personality:</strong> One can say that Lina is fearless. In despite to her feminine attitude outside of the game (see below), she is very "boyish" in the game. She is very positive to challenges and doesn't back down for anything. She is known as 'The Wall' in Salamander, due to her armor and battle style and abilities. In face of danger, she is the one who protects others. Out of combat, she doesn't neglect anyone. She is humorous, cute, outgoing and a hell of a drinker. She is not afraid of getting dirty, both in the fighting way and the 'you-know-what-I-mean' way.<br><br><strong>Real World Personality:</strong> Anna is a very laid back person in real life. Her father demands her to be 'noble', to act like the upper class that he is. Having a rich father sort of does that to you. Then again, in difference to her character, she is very feminine. Fashioned hair, dresses, make-up, the whole thing. But, she is as lovable as her character. The biggest difference would be how outgoing Anna compared to Lina. Anna is very shy and by creating her ALO, she can be whoever she wants. And she can act however she wants.<br><br><strong>Skills:</strong><br>[Non-combat skills]<br>&lt;&lt;Cooking&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;Purchase Negotiations&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;Sales Negotiations&gt;&gt;<br><br>[Passive skills]<br>&lt;&lt;Listening&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;Detection&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;Extended Weight Limit&gt;&gt;<br><br>[Combat skills]<br>&lt;&lt;Parry&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;Howl&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;Light Shield Equipment&gt;&gt;<br>(&lt;&lt;Heavy Shield Equipment?&gt;&gt;)<br>&lt;&lt;Heavy Metal Equipment&gt;&gt;<br><br>[Weapon skills]<br>&lt;&lt;One-handed Warhammer&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;One-handed Straight Sword&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;Shield?&gt;&gt;<br><br><br>[Racial skills]<br>&lt;&lt;Fire Magic&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;Enhanced Strength&gt;&gt;<br><br><strong>Known Spells:</strong><br><br>&lt;&lt;Fiery Bash&gt;&gt; Lina slams her shield into her opponent, unleashing a torrent of flames from the wolf's mouth.<br><br><strong>Equipment:</strong><br><strong>Wall of Fenrir:</strong> A heavy-shield, the defensive end formed as a grinning wolf head. It is made from a rare ore, produced by Fire dragons in Dragon Valley, which is resistant to fire. Obtained through the quest &lt;&lt;The Dragon Arena&gt;&gt; in the Desert Area. (NPC made)<br><br><strong>People's Justice:</strong> A full body armor made out of Ilithium, a spell-reflecting ore from a deep cavern under the World Tree. Lina had to go through the hassle of obtaining the ore, fighting monsters rarely seen, and then get the ore to a master smith, producing a white, shining armor. (NPC made)<br><br><strong>Dragon's Bane:</strong> A one-handed warhammer, made from the skull of a rare wolf-dragon that terrorized the border between the Salamander territory and the Imp territory. It was a long fight between Lina and the dragon, that raged for several days even after it was dead. Almost killed, Lina finally defeated the beast and collected the skull and brought it to a smith, paying a huge amount of gold for the work. (Player made)<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Anna didn't participate in SAO, as she was in the middle of moving to Japan when it went viral. One of the reasons she moved was because of her father's business, the other was for SAO. However, upon arrival, the SAO trap was all over the news and Anna was terrified and in her gentle nature, she used her influence over her dad and formed a support group for the families of the SAO victims.<br><br>Later on, when the players were released from the SAO, she helped funding the schools and professionals that would help the many people that had been traumatized by the game back into society. She spent a lot of time herself, having studied psychiatry, trying to help as many as she could. When the ALO was announced, she became as excited as she had been for SAO. She quickly joined, but only after she had done a profile check on a fan-site. It had matched her up as a Salamander, which she found odd with her personality. But, she didn't complain.<br><br>The first months went idly by, but after a while, Anna started to make a name for herself. She defended the Salamander territory, valiantly, she ventured into the caves below the world tree with no fear. She helped out guilds and people, settled scores and paid her debts. She became known as 'The Wall' after holding back a furious assault from a Goblin settlement, protecting NPC's and settled players alike as they evacuated the nearby city. She made a name for herself with her violent, yet easy-going nature and the way she could still buy those she fought a drink when they respawned.

				<strong>Screen Name:</strong> Aniya<br><strong>Real Name:</strong> Ibuki Kanzaki<br><strong>Age:</strong> 17<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><strong>In-Game Race:</strong> Salamander<br><strong>In-Game Appearance:</strong> <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/tenjouanthy/1374338821857_zpsba935ff8.jpg)</div></div><br><strong>Real World Appearance:</strong> <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/tenjouanthy/20120322_211952_zps6c77db42.jpg)</div></div><br><br><strong>In-Game Personality:</strong> Brave and full of life, Aniya has an infectious mood that tends to spread to those around her. She likes to tackle problems head on and hates dealing with things in an underhanded manner. Some people think this makes her easy to read, but if anything it makes it difficult to know exactly how she'll react to something. She loves coming to the aid of others even at the expense of her own wellbeing as well as willing to give her share of loot to less fortunate ones.<br><br><strong>Real World Personality:</strong> Outside of ALO, Ibuki is actually a timid bookworm who has trouble making friends. She can be awkward sometimes and often laments why she isn't more popular. While she can make friends on ALO easily, she's afraid of letting them meet her in fear that they'd be let down by who she really is.<br><br><strong>Skills:</strong> <br><br>[Non-combat skills]<br>&lt;&lt;Equipment Appraisal&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;Fishing&gt;&gt;<br><br>[Passive skills]<br>&lt;&lt;Sprint&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;Detection&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;Extended Weight Limit&gt;&gt;<br><br>[Combat skills]<br>&lt;&lt;Parry&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;Howl&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;Battle Healing&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;Leather Armor&gt;&gt;<br><br><br>[Weapon skills]<br>&lt;&lt;Two-handed Straight Sword&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;One-handed Straight Sword&gt;&gt;<br><br><br><br><br>[Racial skills]<br>&lt;&lt;Fire Magic&gt;&gt;<br>&lt;&lt;Enhanced Strength&gt;&gt;<br><br>Known Magic:<br>&lt;&lt;Volcanic Viper&gt;&gt; Scraping her weapon along the ground into a leaping aerial uppercut, a torrent of flame bursts forward from the ground, carrying the target into the air.<br><br>&lt;&lt;Flamethrower&gt;&gt; A concentrated burst of flame that spews forth from one hand that boasts decent attack power.<br><br><strong>Equipment:</strong> <br><br>&lt;&lt;Fuuenken&gt;&gt; The Fireseal sword. The weapon is actually a thick rectangular blunt sword with three holes on either side of the blade that allows for flames to materialize. Is mainly used to strengthen fire magics as it has little to no attack power on its own but Aniya often is seen using it to fight with as well. Obtained by completing &lt;&lt;The Dragon's Puzzle Box&gt;&gt;<br><br>&lt;&lt;Tyrant Revolver&gt;&gt; A thick Two-handed sword of Aniya's choice. It has average attacking power but high durability so its good for defending with. Received after completing dungeon &lt;&lt;The Deep Dark&gt;&gt; with a group. It was their gift to her for being such a good sport with all the other spoils.<br><br>&lt;&lt;Black Intercepter&gt;&gt; A leather armor, boots and gloves set made by one of Aniya's friends. Boasts above average defense.<br><br><br><br><strong>History:</strong> Ibuki wasn't among the people who got caught in the killer game, SAO as she wasn't interested in it during the time it was going on. Once she caught wind of what happened in that game, she was more than a little relieved that she didn't try to enter that game. The reason behind her actually joining ALfheim Online was that she wanted to try and make friends without them meeting her face to face. It was a testing phase to see what'd work and what wouldn't and to that end she created multiple accounts with each having a different type of personality. <br><br>The one that acted most like herself was the most depressing as no one really cared to talk to her, but the more outgoing ones got the most attention. By time she was done testing the waters and began to play for real, she found that the game had other problems and was soon wiped to get restarted on a fresh start. Lucky for her as she hadn't had time to level all those alternate accounts. Now taking on her outgoing personality ingame, Ibuki soon found herself with lots of people to talk to, much to her joy. Levelling up came easy and finding parties to get quests she wanted done were a cakewalk now. <br><br>But.. every so often, someone wants to meet her in the outside world. And she makes up every excuse in the book as to why she can't.

				<strong>Screen Name:</strong> Vincent<br><strong>Real Name:</strong> Kodaka Hasegawa<br><strong>Age:</strong> 20<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male<br><strong>In-Game Race:</strong> Undine<br><strong>In-Game Appearance:</strong> <br>Beyond being six foot two and sporting the standard wings of an Undine, Vincent has very short white colored hair, dark blue eyes, a muscular build, and well tanned skin. Vincent tends to wear his full cover helmet only in dungeons and during combat. The rest of his outfit includes his silver trimmed dark blue scale armor covering his torso, shoulders, sleeves, forearms, and neck. A pair of sharp knuckled ivory colored gloves covered his hands while a dark leather belt sat loosely around his waist over top of his scale armor and tying into a knot immediately after the buckle. Below he adorned a pair of heavy leather slacks with a tight fitting belt, and a pair of blue boots with fins angled on the back. Vincent wore his scimitar on his back with the hilt hanging down from behind his right hip for a fast and easy low sweeping draw. Outside Undine territory Vincent tends to conceal himself under a cheap hooded cape.<br><strong>In-Game Appearance:</strong> <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/6/62890/2006365-dark_souls_06.jpg)(http://wallpink.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dark-Souls-2-HD-Wallpaper.jpg)</div></div><br><br><strong>Real World Appearance:</strong> Kodaka is six foot tall with brown eyes and dark hair. He isn't very athletic but rides his bike on a regular basis. His favorite outfit is a green loose fitting t-shirt, blue jeans, a belt, and on cold days his heavy black coat. When not somewhere comfortable or secluded Kodaka has a tendency to slouch and have poor posture. <br><br><br><br><strong>In-Game Personality:</strong> In a group he favors forward support and tends to crack jokes at inappropriate times and locations, this gives him a reputation as annoying yet valued in a party. Vincent is always ready to assist others or share what he knows yet his drive to escalate violence detracts from his ability to stay in parties. <br><br><br><br><br><strong>Real World Personality:</strong> Kodaka hasn't spent much time making friends since high school and tends to rely on the small group still in touch. Outside his friends he is very shy and doesn't open up easily or quickly but once he gets to know someone well enough he will yield his upbeat and bombastic demeanor. <br><br><br><strong>Skills:</strong> <br>&lt;&lt;Weapon&gt;&gt;<br>Two-handed Curved Blade<br>Martial Arts<br><br>&lt;&lt;Combat&gt;&gt;<br>Parry<br>Battle Healing<br>Light Metal Equipment<br><br>&lt;&lt;Racial Bonus&gt;&gt;<br>Support Magic<br>Underwater Combat<br>Wall Run<br><br>&lt;&lt;Passive&gt;&gt;<br>Sprint<br>Acrobatics<br>Detection<br>Night Vision<br>Listening<br>Extended Weight Limit<br><br>&lt;&lt;Non Combat&gt;&gt;<br>Equipment Appraisal<br>-Empty-<br>-Empty-<br>-Empty-<br><br><strong>Equipment:</strong> <br><br>&lt;&lt;Chrysaor&gt;&gt; an ancient style two handed scimitar from an age long past. All markings and symbols have worn away. This weapon is the only known instance of the element Adamant. (Rare Item find under the Crescent Gulf in the "Lost City" dungeon) <br><br>&lt;&lt;Cyclopean Scale Armor&gt;&gt; A dark blue armor with silver trim built for a dragon slayer consisting of many small reinforced dragon scales over the torso and sleeves, plate pauldrons, plate forearm covers of stylized dragon skulls, and a plate gorget at the collar. Offers a resistance to fire. (Boss Drop from "Deep Blue" during the "Rain Dragon" quest in Rainbow Valley)<br><br><br>&lt;&lt;Siegmund's Crown&gt;&gt; a dark blue maximillian type close helmet featuring a T-visor. (player made item) <br><br>&lt;&lt;Hooded Cape&gt;&gt; A dark colored cowl that obscures it's users face and equipment. (NPC made item)<br><br>&lt;&lt;Gauntlets of the Great White&gt;&gt; an ivory colored set of armored gloves made from shark teeth. Grants bonus to &lt;&lt;Martial Arts&gt;&gt; skill. (player made item)<br><br>&lt;&lt;Finned Boots&gt;&gt; Shark skin boots with fins. Increases swim speed. (player made item)<br><br><br><strong>History:</strong> Before &lt;&lt;AlfHeim online&gt;&gt; Kodaka hadn't much experience with nervegear, he was part of the beta for SAO but had to work on the night of the release and gave up on acquiring the game at all that first day. &lt;&lt;AlfHeim online&gt;&gt; rekindled his interest in vrmmorpgs and soon he was caught up in the life of Vincent. Vincent is well known, liked, and admired among the people of the Undine Capital but those within the government consider him obnoxious, frustrating, a nuisance, and at times impressive. In his military career Vincent has gained the mantle of most unwanted, unnecessary, and allied territory conquered by any Undine. While possessing a very positive disposition and uncanny ability to make friends he is recognized as having a great fault. When involved in small disputes Vincent has a propensity to escalate beyond the norm. This has resulted in one on one bar brawls, turning into all out battle royals, to the military annexation of cantinas, to full scale wartime military deployment within allied territory. Do to the unfortunate regularity and impressiveness of these instances Vincent was allowed to maintain his rank yet no longer has forces serving under him. In addition Vincent is banned from all allied cantinas, bars, and cafes in allied territory. Since the relaunch of ALO and subsequent attention shift from Aarun to Aincrad he sees his captain title as devolved to a loose membership to a clearer guild of the former Undine Army. Although he recognizes the benefit of a companies worth of available resources and authority afforded to him by his rank, Vincent's strong sense of loyalty keeps him bound to the group. Vincent's home is rather large and unkempt as it doubles as a former Undine barracks.

				Alright. How about we engage a boss of the floor, then? It doesn't necessarily have to be the boss to be defeated in order to advance, but could just be a side-story fight. Something a raid group needs to take down for a quest.
