User name: Tempus_Glacia
Player name: Lorelei (Lori) Ramone
Player Desc: [Lori]
Player Personality: For someone who's spent half of her life not being able to hear, Lori is rather bright and bubbly, taking life in stride and accepting everything that's thrown her way. She's always managing to find the brighter side to things in life and never stops to ponder the bad, or how life could possibly get worse in any situation. She's care-free, high spirited, and lives her life to the fullest- despite her disability.

Lori is extremely friendly, loves to make people laugh and smile, and is usually always found with an expression of delight on her face. She also reads lips very well, and talks when she signs, yet never gets discouraged or upset/angry when people don't understand her or worse - mean to her/make fun of her. She just doesn't care what people think about her. Her life is hers, it is what it is, and no one will ever change that.
Game Character Name: Fantica
Age: Real Life - 25 || In Game - 25
Class: Sage
Weapon: Solar Radiance (pictured below)
Description: [Fantica]
Game Personality: Fantica, on the other hand, people have often wonder if the character is bi-polar or not. At time, she can share her creator's bubbly personality, accepting people and the like with open arms and a warm smile. Though there are times that the girl is hateful, moody, and down right mean (even going as far to PK a person or two if her mood sees fit.) Usually, however, Fantica is just simply there. She tends to keep to herself more often then not, but can be found with a small group of regulars every now and then.
Bio: Lorelei, from birth, had an odd attraction to sound. She showed early signs of alertness to the sounds of her parents voices, and her bond with sound only got stronger as she got older. Music, voices, anything that made noise, the girl wanted to have surrounding her- though this was all changed when she turned thirteen. She and her mother had been making a run to the local super market for dinner supplies. One trip back, a drunk driver, and a ran red light later landed the girl in the hospital- motherless, and completely deaf.

At first, the lack of sound seemed to have devistated the girl. The fact that she could no longer hear anyone or anything made her mute- completely so, and this worried her doctors as well as her father. She spent the next several years being home schooled by a woman who had spent years learning to deal with and teach deaf children. Within three years of this, the woman who had only been her teacher, became her mother, and though a sense of normalty had washed over the family, Lori was still not the same.

Then the day came when Lab Tech had created a new device for their Game and needed a test subject for it. Her father, being one of the minorities working for the company, informed his CEO about his daughter and the test run of The Games new device for the system was underway. Once things were proven to be 110% effective, Lori was able to hear once again while within the realm of Larmadia- thus Fantica was born. Now the deafened girl spends nearly all of her time playing The Game and usually quite literally has to be pried away from it to do anything a normal human being needs to do. Still, she usually spends her nights logged in, eats while she's logged in, and does nearly everything she can while logged in- thus making her father wish he'd never suggested his daughter for the program.

She still lives at home so that her father can take care of her (much to Lori's protests) and keep an eye on her at all times, being utterly convinced that the system his daughter is constantly connected to is going to end up harming her one day.

Player name: Richard Draski
Player Desc: Richard Draski, sharply dressed business man.
Player Personality: Richard is sharp, business savvey, and almost always in control of himself. He remains firm under pressure and rarely buckles, no matter what he is up against. He is also very kind to those less fortunate to himself, often donating to charity or going out of his way to help those in need.
Game Character Name: Azure Dawnsinger
Age: Real Life - 25 In Game - 25
Class: Bard
Weapon: Azure prefers to use diplomacy to escape any fights that he can get out of, along with his musical spells. When forced to fight, he uses a short sword.
Description: Azure Dawnsinger, the Bard
Game Personality: Azure is a kind soul, preferring to always use his words in place of his sword. He will often be the first to volunteer to help another, no matter their level, and he rarely asks for anything in return. His reputation as a kind individual has, thankfully, granted him a bit of immunity when it comes to PKers and he never partakes in the act himself.
Bio: Born to the average family, Richard proved to be ahead of his fellow peers at an early age. Graduating at the age of 16, Richard passed a few grade levels and quickly went on to college to pursue a degree in business. All the while, he managed to find time for his favorite hobbies. Video Games and table top roleplaying games were high on his list. When he earned his degree, he opened up a shop catering to those that shared his hobbies. Dice, books, games, and more flew off the shelf as Richard's business model took off. Before long, he had opened several more locations and had earned partnerships with several big names in the gaming world. The biggest of which is, of course, with the creators of the world of Larmadia. Richard's company, known as The Dragon's Den, will often sponsor or even host contests around or within the game.

Despite various connections and deals he has made, Richard never abuses his position and has leveled his character the same as every other player.

Azure Dawnsinger was born to a noble family. Raised to know how to live in the well to do society, Azure knows the rankings of most noble systems. Despite his upbringing, however, Azure is a kind soul who will leap to the aid of the less fortunate whenever he can. Having left his nobility behind and changing his last name to Dawnsinger, Azure now wanders as he helps other while increasing his own strength. His songs can inspire great courage in others and even instill fear in mighty foes. Still, Azure cares more for the lore to be found in the world around him. Specifically anything pertaining to Dragons. He believes he may have found hints that could lead to some tremendous spells and songs that only a Bard could learn, but he has found no confirmation anywhere.

User name: Amber Skyes

Player name: Antony T. Volkmar

Player Desc:
Antony is a reasonably attractive young man of average height. He has dark brown hair and lightly tanned skin. His build is strong with broad shoulders, but is beginning to speak of neglect because he rarely goes to the gym these days, or even leaves the house. Where he used to wear contacts, he has now given up and just wears an old pair of glasses. Usually he can be found in a plain colored t-shirt and jeans, though sometimes he doesn't even have the energy to put on pants and just wears boxers instead.

Player Personality:
Overall, Antony could be described as a very, very good guy. He is generous, outgoing, and generally known as a great friend to have. He is not particularly patient, and will sometimes take over for a friend when they aren't doing well because he knows that otherwise, he will become very frustrated.

Even though he has been deeply affected by tragedy, Antony still tries to help people as much as he can. He can often be found helping newbies by giving them gold, items, or advice, and he chose his character's class specifically to always be needed by one group or another.

Game Character Name: Avery Tajahn

Age: 18 in both

Class:
White Mage - Uses White Magic to replenish party members's health, revive the wounded, cure status conditions, and deal holy damage to the enemy. They also use Denfesive Magic to protect both themselves and their comrads in the heat of battle.

Weapon:
Gloves of Sorellan, found after Antony decided to solo a dungeon for the hell of it. It ended up taking hours longer than it should have, but in the end he emerged victorious with gloves that channel magic the same way that a staff would. It really just means that he can carry more things and has to physically touch a person with his hands to heal them, but it looks really cool (and that's what's important).

Description: [Avery]

Game Personality:
Antony does not act very differently in-game than out; he retains his overall friendliness and generosity, and enjoys joining groups just to help heal them. Because she has been active for more than a year, Avery has traveled extensively since originally leaving her town, but still has a while to go before reaching the top.

Bio:
Before his sister died a year ago, Antony spent a lot of time outside playing soccer or basketball with his friends, or working at his uncle's nursery. Now, he doesn't like to leave the house much, because to leave is to pass the spot on the street where she died. Even though the blood spots on the asphalt are long gone, Antony swears that he can still see them. Although he has 'gotten over' the tragedy, it is still not a good idea to bring her up. He began to play The Game after his sister sent him an invitation, figuring that it might be something to pass his time with. After her untimely death and a long break from the game, he felt as though it would be an insult to her memory to stop playing...and he really enjoyed it.

Avery was born in a small town; her parents were physicians who were overjoyed to have a daughter with magical aptitude. They had the white mage in the next town over teach her as much as possible in order for their daughter to help them heal patients faster. She loved the work, but couldn't help but feel as though she wasn't helping very much - although her parents may not have seen it, she could tell that they, too, were using white magic to help treat people. So, once her training was complete, she moved to the big city to meet more people than were in her tiny town and find her calling. Now, she has traveled widely and met many people, but is still seeking more.

HEY
IBUKI MAYAʚ Player Desc:
AGRIASCorinne is pretty without quite reaching beautiful--at least, not on her own efforts. She's thin,
AGRIASthough not merely skinny; her years of track and field experience in high school have left her
AGRIASwith a healthy body, though the definition of her limbs has faded somewhat in the year since she
AGRIASgraduated. In general, her sense of style is eminently practical—she doesn't have the attention
AGRIASspan to fuss about with her appearance. For that reason, she keeps her thick brown hair short
AGRIASand simple—so long as it's neat and out of her only slightly lighter brown eyes, she doesn't
AGRIASworry too much about it. While on her own time, comfort trumps presentability, and t-shirts and
AGRIASjeans tend to dominate her wardrobe; while out academically or professionally, however, she
AGRIAScleans up very nicely. Perhaps speaking to the sparsity of her love life, her closet is rather sparse
AGRIASoutside of her professional and casual wear.
FO'C'SLE
IBUKI MAYAʚ Player Personality:
AGRIASCori is generally an upbeat and dedicated young woman, though in the short term she's quite
AGRIASdistractible and quick to panic. She's almost incapable of sitting still; if she isn't working towards
AGRIASa goal, she feels trapped. While hers is not necessarily the quickest mind in her circle of friends,
AGRIASshe's quick to act, sure to see things through, and loyal to a fault. Her zeal is almost matched by
AGRIASher carelessness--she has a reckless abandon with which she pursues her goals that lends itself
AGRIASto an air of clumsiness; even though during her less frantic moments she's the picture of
AGRIAScoordination.

IBUKI MAYAʚ Game Character Name:
AGRIASBUSHI

IBUKI MAYAʚ Age:
AGRIAS19; the Bushi avatar appears to be in her early 20s.

IBUKI MAYAʚ Class:
AGRIASFENCER

IBUKI MAYAʚ Weapon:
AGRIASIAITOH; this blunted blade is used primarily by novice swordsmen still in training.

IBUKI MAYAʚ Description:
AGRIASWhile Corinne hates managing long hair in real life, she's always liked the way it looks, and so
AGRIASshe gave Bushi loosely tied blonde hair reaching almost to the small of her back. As might be
AGRIASexpected of a fencer, Bushi is lean, but athletically built. Combined with her modest height, she
AGRIASdoesn't cut a particularly imposing figure.

AGRIASBushi has used the in-game character creation tools to cobble together an outfit surprisingly
AGRIASclose to traditional costume for a samurai. Her sleeveless black dress closely resembles a
AGRIAShakama below the waist; and her striped blue and white short jacket's almost comically wide
AGRIASsleeves emulate a haori. Add the steel-reinforced headband, han-kote-like gauntlets, and tabi
AGRIASemphasized by flexible thonged leather boots, and Bushi's outfit is a surprisingly close fit.

IBUKI MAYAʚ Game Personality:
AGRIASWhile Bushi appears as calm and collected as the archetypal samurai from which she takes her
AGRIASname, she behaves no differently online than she does in real life, and her uniquely hectic pace
AGRIASof being will doubtless disturb more than a few Game players as she makes her way through
AGRIASLarmadia.

IBUKI MAYAʚ Bio:
AGRIASCorinne was born in Nice, France—the daughter of Raphaël and Lucille Géroux, a baker and a
AGRIASlawyer, respectively. It was at the tender age of 6 that her parents moved to Wilmette, Illinois, not
AGRIASfar from Chicago, to pursue new opportunities. The move affected the young girl deeply—while
AGRIASshe spoke some English already (her maternal grandfather's side of the family was British), the
AGRIASloss of her friends, the culture shock, and differences between herself and her new peers drove
AGRIASher inward. It took another four years till a new friend began to draw her out—a girl one year
AGRIASyounger named Patience Monday, peculiar for her constant even-temperedness.

AGRIASPatience was mild, shy, and, like her name implied, patient to a fault; and while these qualities
AGRIASmade her easy to talk to for the withdrawn young Cori, they also began to drive her wild as time
AGRIASwent on, and her natural buoyancy began to finally resurface. She seemed to gain the energy to
AGRIASspeak for both of them—and not infrequently, to Patience's dismay, did. Even as the years
AGRIAScontinued to pass and she blossomed socially, Cori stuck to Patience like glue—a friendship
AGRIASbetween opposite natures—until her purported death three years ago.

AGRIASCori was devastated. While her outward recovery seemed fairly normal, considering, it took her
AGRIASmonths before she was able to coherently focus on anything. Her grades, which had never been
AGRIASmuch better than average at best, dropped off significantly; she lost focus on her college hunt;
AGRIASand outside of what was socially demanded of her in order to maintain a normal day to day life,
AGRIASshe largely abandoned the pursuit of her favorite activities.

AGRIASIt wasn't until she stumbled across a conspiracy theory concerning the crash on the internet that
AGRIASshe snapped back. The theory itself was silly—the poster claimed that the crash had been a
AGRIASpurposeful demonstration of LabTech's power to the governments of the world and had allowed
AGRIASthem to largely take control of Germany behind the scenes. That said, the description was
AGRIASthorough enough, with listed sources (some legitimate, most as crazy as the theory itself) that
AGRIASwent into sufficient detail, that Cori noticed some curious discrepancies—enough to make her
AGRIASthink that LabTech may have at least been guilty of more negligence than their PR had managed
AGRIASto convince the official investigation of.

AGRIASPartially out of genuine interest in the field and partially out of her kindled curiosity, she began
AGRIASto buckle down, working towards a college with a good law program. Her natural zeal in
AGRIASaccomplishing her goals helped push her back in to the running, and she actually managed to
AGRIASmake good at the University of Chicago, where she took on a paid (if rather menial) internship at
AGRIASa local law firm to help with bills.

AGRIASUnfortunately, between the scarcity of untainted and reliable information and the rigors of her
AGRIASacademic, professional, and social lives, she's had very little luck tracking down any leads on the
AGRIAScrash. By chance recently, she happened to hear an obscure internet legend about a hacked
AGRIASplayer character in The Game that supposedly knows about LabTech's dirtiest secrets. As she'd
AGRIASalso been looking for a way to unwind during especially late nights and in between classes, she
AGRIASfigured looking into the MMO that had, however indirectly, claimed the life of her best friend
AGRIAScouldn't hurt… could it?

AGRIASBushi's face is entirely unknown in The Game, as she's about to log in for the first time…

Player name: Cassandra Daley
Player Desc: 5"4 with a thin, tired face, Cassandra would be pretty if she weren't so sad. She can't rid the purple tint from her blonde hair even though she dyed it months ago. She has brown eyes which are usually surrounded by smudged makeup she's forgotten she has on. She's thin, but in a bony way that tends to inspire people to thrust food at her.
Player Personality: Tired of life, and tired of herself, Cassandra loves nothing more than a good distraction. Trouble is, after two years of playing the game as much as she can- which is quite a bit thanks to her inheritance- she sees it more as a life than as a game. She thinks virtual reality is simply the next step for humanity.
Cassandra is driven to intense emotion with little provocation but she rarely shows it. She's a twitchy, intense person, who focuses on one thing only for hours or days at a time.
Game Character Name: sandrad
Age: 18 in real life and in game
Class: Bard
Weapon: a flute she whittled in game, though she's learning to do small amounts of damage by whistling (if the mods are cool with that smile )
Description:avatar
Game Personality:
Bio: Sandra is drawn to the domestic side of the game, and can make a decent amount of gold from crafting alone. Gold she spends decorating her tiny cabin, to the confusion and often disdain of other players.
Sandra is a solid bard and is quite useful in battle. However, she is nervous about- well actually, terrified of in-game death, and it is difficult to convince her to quest with you. It's almost like she thinks it'd actually kill her...
Desiring acceptance with other players, Sandra has begun fighting level 1 enemies (too weak to kill you even if you tried to let them) in the tutorial area to ease her fear. Hey, it's a start.

Player name: Luke Foster
Player Desc: At 6'1 and 210 pounds Luke is intimidating, even while sitting down. Luke is paralyzed from the waist down and uses the help of a wheelchair to get around. He learned early on that, thanks to his predicament, he can get away with sacrificing formality and coordination in favor of comfort and ease of use, often wearing just a t-shirt and basketball shorts. He would prefer to wear jeans, but thanks to muscle atrophy in his legs it's become impossible to find jeans that fit even semi-competently without making him look like he's been deflated below the waist. His jet black hair is often disheveled and his clothes in different levels of disarray. However, when it is absolutely required that he make himself presentable he cleans up nicely.
Player Personality: Before the accident Luke was your standard popular boy. He played sports, had lots of friends, and was always up for anything. It made him overconfident and often led him to risky situations, which he braved without flinching. Once he was paralyzed, though, he found himself losing a grip on everything he once had. He couldn't play sports anymore and he felt his friends slowly drifting away from him. They didn't know how to react when suddenly the confident boy could no longer go with them on whatever their latest dumb idea was. He hated his new found confinement, and it's caused him to become angry and bitter at life, often choosing to stay in his room and play games instead of trying to push the bounds of what he can do with his restrictions.
Game Character Name: Enzo
Age: 17 || 21
Class: Fencer
Weapon: Two blue short swords with an ornate hilt in order to hinder movement as little as possible while still allowing swift attacks.
Description: Enzo
Game Personality: Enzo is reckless, willing to take on any mission, no matter how dangerous. Overzealous and overconfident, he boasts that he has the highest death count in the game, whether it's true or not.
Bio: Luke was born in the suburbs of a small town, raised in a stereotypical family home. Pushed by his father to be the best at everything, and morally guided by his mother who just wants him to do his best. At the age of 16 Luke had everything. He was the popular boy in school and was the star of the basketball team. Seen as the best center in the high school circuit, he was being hunted by college recruiters from all over. The pressure was on him, and during one fateful game it caused him to lose everything.

It was the championship game, there were recruiters from every college imaginable in the stands. All eyes were on Luke, he had performed exceptionally well and this game was expected to be no different. Luke never got to prove it, though. There was no game changing play and no chance to impress. During the first quarter of the game Luke was posted in the middle of the key, the score was tied 12-12 and there was no reason to begin to worry, but he was. As the opposing player charged down the court Luke's mind drifted to what this game could mean for him, how much of his future hinged on how well he performed during this game. Lost in thought, he lost track of the ball and didn't realize where he was until he was barreled into by the opposing player looking to impress with a dunk. The force of the collision sent him careening back, into the pole of the basketball goal, he was barely able to register that he couldn't make his body respond before he passed out.

He woke up in the hospital a few hours later, scared and confused. His parents were on him immediately. His mother had been crying, and his father looked like he had been trying not to. After convincing them that he wasn't dying Luke demanded to know what had happened. His parents face fell as they recounted the story, he had slammed into the pole in just the right way as to compress his spine. He would never walk again.

It was because of this and the subsequent change in attitude that led him to become reclusive and eventually want to try "The Game." Virtual reality sounded intriguing, a way to escape. He fell in love the first time he tried it. In real life he was a bitter cripple, someone people try to avoid. In game, though, he could be exactly what he was before. Enzo, the confident risk taker. He loved the feeling of being able to move unhindered. The ability to be swift footed and agile took him to an almost euphoric state after being so constrained in the real world. Now that he's finally found a way to escape his real world restrictions, he uses it to their full extent. Often overestimating his own power and taking on risks on missions that he shouldn't, usually dying as a result. Death was no hindrance in this world though. Here he was immortal.

Player name: Vee Saeko
Player Desc:

Vee is your typical gamer, except without the rage or emotional reactions towards bad situations in games. She doesn't like being called a "Gamer Girl" as she feels like "Gamers" and "Gamer Girls" are categorized differently. She excels in most MMORPG games and puzzle games, but not first-person/third-person shooter games.

Vee stands at a 5'0 flat. She wears glasses, has longer hair, peach-colored skin and is usually seen with handheld gaming devices such as a DS or a GBA.

Although an addicted gamer, Vee excels at school. In fact, she's right now on an honour roll. She is basically a nerd.

Player Personality:

Vee is pretty cautious when meeting people. She's a little anti-social, but rather jumpy and girly when given the attention. She's a pacifist, meaning she doesn't fight back. Of course, this doesn't apply to game generated monsters. Her pacifism usually leads her to being taken advantage of.

Vee enjoys the company of people she trust, and sometimes she's pretty reliant. The better part though is that she herself is pretty reliable. She tries not to break promises and she's also pretty oblivious most of the times.

Veera

Vee!

Game Personality: Just like how she acts as a person, she's pretty pacifistic and loves to give attention back when given to her!
Bio:
Ever since she was ten years old, Vee's been addicted to games. It first started out with her getting good grades and her parents giving her a gaming console to play on.

As years passed, her love for games developed but so did her work ethic. She's been getting good grades and those good grades allow her to get more games. She's been addicted to a few games, some longer than others. One particular MMORPG got her addicted for two years, making a name for herself in that game.. Until it shut down. Now there's a little void that needs to be filled.

As she heard of "The Game", she wanted to play instantly for the reason that it's gotten good reviews. What more is that YOU get to be there! Not just you behind the screen with a keyboard and a mouse, or with a controller. You get to be there.. She wanted this experience!
