Welcome to Gaia! ::

Haseo – Very hot-tempered and has a hard time trusting people. He’s easily irritated by people he’s not familiar with. He spent a very long period of time trying to get his friend Shino back, ending in succession, so he tends to hang out with her sometimes.
Gaia name: Tetsu_Uchiha

Atoli – Thinks of The World as more of a game, appreciating every bit of it. She’s naive but loves to help others in need. She also wishes for happiness between players in The World, rather than fighting all the time.
Gaia name: Kioko Kurohana

Kuhn – Loves to flirt with female players. He respects the power of stronger characters and tries to keep his friends out of danger.
Gaia name: Rion Bloodbane (temporary)

Yata – Takes most of his days researching important stuff like AIDA reports from areas and keeping a close eye on other Epitaph users. Whenever he needs some work to be done, he usually hires someone like Pi or Kuhn to carry out the mission.
Gaia Name: Malix123

Sakubo – Has two split personalities. Saku puts her feelings before other people’s feelings, while Bo is the opposite. Saku acts rather unfriendly while Bo is shy but sweet. Also, Saku is supposedly “in love” with Endrance, but he doesn’t seem to care.
Gaia name: LightPinkAngel

Endrance – Logged on to The World almost 24/7, Endrance wanders a lot on his own. He’s rather quiet but can easily get into a conversation if he’s interested. He used to be emperor of the arena but Haseo beat him in a title match. Despite the loss, he still enjoys fighting at the arena. Endrance seems to show some interest in Kyouku, sometimes watching her idly walk around at root town.
Gaia name: Rion Bloodbane (temporary)

Pi - Dedicated to her job and following Yata’s orders. When she has a job to be done, she follows the directions strictly with no exceptions.

Shino - Her personality is somewhat of a mystery. She is somewhat depressed inside but finds comfort in being with Haseo. She is very helpful to her friends as well.

Character: Kyouku
Appearance: [x] Except: Her hair is silver. Her fingernails are painted a pale ocean blue. In her hair is a light blue lily in full bloom.
Job: Flick Reaper
Guild(s): Avulira (A guild for PKKers)
Personality: To many, Kyouku’s personality is shrouded in mystery. This is because she’s quiet and hard to talk to at first. She can act very anti-social and cold at times. Although she may act rough on the outside, once you open up to her she’s kind and lets you in on more of her life.
Avatar: Tszura
More info: Kyouku has a well-known reputation of being the “Maiden of Moonlight” PKKer. Fans anxiously watch her in occasional battles in the arena. She has more fans than friends, though, because of her non-talkative personality. When she’s not out PKKing in areas or at the arena, she usually can be found at the lost ground Indieglut Lugh or in the hidden section behind the arena at Lumina Cloth.

Guild(s): Zentoaku (a guild for PKers, PKKers, or any thing else)
Avatar: Tadanaka - A grey humanoid body with bright yellow eyes. The body is very simple and sleek. Has a ring of energy spinning around his middle constantly that he will use at close range as a bladed weapon. Discovered relatively recently when he was on a treck through an area looking for a challenge and stuff for the guild shop.
More info: He is known as a PK but not to widely known because he only PKs if it is a challenge, if he doesn't like the character, or if some one attacks him. If a character does not fall in to any of those he normally does not waste his time even conversing unless he has an interest. He has had little interest in the arena but his interest in it has been increasing as of recently.

Job: Steam Gunner
Personality: Players that meet Edel may think she’s moody. One day she can be cheerfully talking your ear off, and eager to go dungeon crawling for treasure, while the next she may be hunting down as many monsters (and occasionally players) as possible to work off frustration, or wandering around to think by herself. Once she gets an idea in her head, its almost impossible to convince her to do something else until she runs out of steam and decides to do something else, or loses interest.
Guild(s): None right now.

Gaia name: Amaru Itsuki
Character: Amaru
Appearance: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b16/Lithial/amaru-hackavi.jpg
Amaru is a shorter character, standing about 5'6ft tall, with silver grey hair, tanned skin and cloudy grey eyes. He wears a pair of loose and baggy pants with a stone grey martial arts gi-shirt with a softgrey sash. He prefers wooden sandal clogs. His most distinguishing features are the scarlet scarf he wears around his neck. And the occasional sighting of his 9 tails which usually appear when his manag is extinguished and he needs to resort to more physical attacks.

Job: Wavemaster -- Guard/Rare hunter.
Unlike most rare hunters who seek out rare items to take, Amaru simply searches for the sake of searching. He had a profound wonderlust balanced with a potent sense of justice. Though he will defend the innocent if he sees trouble, Amaru's true love is the secrets of the world, of which, so far.. he hadn't whispered a word to anyone else.

Personality: Amaru is a very odd character, with no defined purpose except seeking rare secrets. He likes to describe his job as being actually a 'Secret Keeper'. Meaning he travel aimlessly all over the world, learn more and more things, but not really putting them to any particular use. Its not that he as no aim, but he doesn't think the value of such knowledge is measured by money.
He's a bit of a quiet fellow, but has a fondness for the obscure creatures of the game. When and if you do get him to speak, Amaru apparently is a fountain of knowledge. He likes friendly people, and shys away from those who are cruel, but he wont back down however if the safety of other players come into question.
Amaru has one great curiosity among his many odd-ball characteristics. No one has ever seen Amaru 'die' in the game, not even once. And when the moment seems as if he might fall to a blade or monster, Amaru acts desperately to avoid such a result. Though some see it odd, and would rather die and respawn without concern, Amaru seems almost... afraid of dying, as if it means more to him then most players.

Guild(s): none
Avatar: "Appearance/Name unknown"
Amaru's on a mission that's to resurect an avtar that later Aura will bestow to him. However in order for him to use it, he must earn each part of it.
Though he is currenltly unaware of this fact, Aura guides him to hidden locations like 'lost grounds' for hidden peices of this Avatar. He think it's to find the BETA data, (a replica of the first template of data used to create the world).
This is only half true...

More info: Amaru is well known in certain circles as a frequently sought out person for information; except the frustrating thing about it, is that no one has ever made the guy talk about what he knows!
Players say he's been offered various rare items and money sums, but the wavemaster simply doesn't bargain with such things and so his secrets have remained his own.
However.... some say if you 'follow' him on his various wandering, you'd be willingly lead into wonders beyond your imagining... if you can keep up with him.
Rumor has it that he stays on the world network for weeks at a time without any sign of logging out. But he has logged out, so the conclusion of a repeat incident like the legendary Tsukasa has been ruled out.
So how does he do it?....

IRL: Amaru Itsuki
Name: Amaru Itsuki (XD I'm repeating myself alot)
Age: 18
Appearance: Exactly.... like his character. ((OOooo big spoiler!!))
Occupation: None
Other info: The real Amaru has only been seen by one other player, someone who knew him well before he joined the world. Its said he looked different, but now there hardly any difference between his real self, and his World counterpart. What this means is still unclear, but the fact its been shrouded in such secrecy point to a more sinister reason. Especially when the prospect of his real physical health is brought up.

Appearance: Deryx is a wolf beast, white, blue armour, silver trimming.
Job: Beast(werewolf), Flick Reaper. He is a PKer.

Guild(s):Zoo
Avatar: Arelo. it's strength is determind by the epitaphs thoughts and sences. It is White and blue and looks like a wolf.
More info: He and his friends used to be PKKer's even though he would rather be a PKer, they were the only people who stopped him from being a PKer, but for some reason they all quit 'The World' at the same time, and now he is a PKKer, but he is in Zoo guild, he loves beast classes and will never PK a beast class player.

Gaia name: Kojiro Jogakusei
Character: Miyuki
Appearance: [x]
Personality: At first Miyuki was just like he is in the real world, constantily PK'ed with low self esteem never really standing out. Quiet and off to the side he did enough to exist but not enought to gain attention. Shame was a active role in that reasoning. After meeting with Kasserick in R:1 though he became rather obsessive and deranged. Twisted by his masters teaching that were projected not only in the game, but real life as well.
Guild(s): None.
Avatar: [x]
More info: In real life Miyuki or actually Hitori was a quiet student at school, since he was unable to be himself he decided not to be anyone. Then The World came out, and he'd board that train before Aura's awakening. At first he created a female character joining up with a small group to keep himself supported. Not long into his game around level 11 or so a player killer took out his entire team, accept him. With a twin blade at her throat the question was asked " Why do you play the game." The answer was a simple one but the context was more important as Miyuki applied " To escape reality."

The Twin blade who would later to be found out to be known as Kasserick offered Miyuki a deal, he would make Miyuki powerful in and outside of the world if he was willing to be what he was meant to be in and outside of the world. Miyuki was intructed to join with his orginal team once more without joining their party and then when the partys attention was diverted; strike them down. So in Desert Prison of Fated Castle Miyukis player killer career began.

After accomplishing the goal Kasserick told Miyuki to delete the character and start a new. With this new character obvious hacks had been made and Miyuki was learning that Kasserick wasn't only a player killer...he was a rule breaker on all levels. The new hacked form was deception while giving off the appearence of a young pink haired female tribal grappler, the avatar itself was very much male. In real life as promised Hitori had also began his own steps toward femminzation.

~Reserved~

Tyrfing bought some Healing Serums and yawned as he bought them from the shopkeep,"Alright, hm, let's see.....I need some Sprite Drops, Antidote Soda, Stimulant Soda, and I should have just enough for some Warrior Bloods if the guild shops have them,"He said to himself as he went from shop to shop buying what he needed for the week.

18-year old Kyouku sunk into her cozy bed, adjusting her headset level to her eyes. A light blanket covered her knees and legs and a laptop sat on her lap. With a click on the controller she began to enter the virtual fantasy of The World.

1010101
User: Kyouku
Password: *******

Confirmed. Logging on to desktop.

Soon her dark desktop appeared. A blinking notification on her mail icon tempted her to check the new message. From Saku. Kyouku scanned over the message before exiting out of the mail station and logging in to The World. She didn't enjoy replying to e-mails so she had just ignored the last part of Saku's messasge.

A few seconds later, she found herself at The World's main screen. And after another click, her character had warped in to the bustling town of Mac Anu. Kyouku appeared at the Chaos Gate, as other players chattered around her.

Kyouku turned in Saku's direction before staring down at her and slowly making her way over. Her eyes were a cold blue, face expressionless. Though she seemed to have no emotion showing at the moment, a strut in her step made a few characters stop and watch the Maiden instead. Kyouku's soft words to Saku were a faint "What did you need from me?"

Kyouku gazed down at whining Saku. "Master En..?" she mumbled. The picture was clear as crystal in her mind; the blue-haired handsome Blade Brandier with pink rose petals fluttering about. Her mind drifted away from the conversation for a little bit before Kyouku snapped back into reality. "Oh, why would he show any interest in someone like me?" she mourned, tossing her silver hack back and folding her hands. It was clear she had doubted herself many times before.
