Personality: Nero is a quiet and rather shy person. He is kind and likes to help people but tends to stay more to himself when he can. He has a short temper but manages to keep it in check, walking away from a situation before it can turn into a fight. Being an introvert, Nero detaches himself from being sociable, mostly due t his extremely shy nature. He will speak his mind, but only if it's a topic he feels strongly about or he's trying to stop an argument over a redundant conversation.
Likes:
.xx► Music: Nero surrounds himself with music as a simple way to escape everything around him
.xx► Video games: whether it's the plain console/arcade games or VRMMOs, Nero has loved playing video games either to unwind and relax or escape the real world
.xx►Nature: Nero loves the outdoors, which is why he loves the landscapes in VRMMOs
Dislikes:
.xx► People wanting him to join their party: he can usually ignore them but he starts getting mad when it seems like they follow him everywhere to get him to join their party
.xx► Bragging people: he hates it when he hears other players bragging about some monster they killed or the armor they were finally able to get. He plays the games for fun, not to get some recognition for his in game skills
.xx►School: he doesn't mind school, he just hates being put on the spot in class which is 90% of the time because all of his teachers think "it'll be good for him" to talk more in class
Strengths: Nero's biggest strength is that he's a quick learner. When he first started playing VRMMOs, it took about an hour to fully understand both how to Nerve Gear and the game worked. His second strength is his kindness. He never asks for anything in return for helping someone, he just helps them then walks away to do his own thing, whether that's completing quests in game or listening to his music in the real world.
Weaknesses: Nero's main weakness is his temper since it has caused issues in the past. He can usually keep it under control but when he does fly off the handle, he holds nothing back in a fight. His second weakness is his shyness. Being an introvert both IRL and in game, Nero doesn't do good around people. He's never joined a party or a guild, content to be and fight alone.
History: Nero's life has been a simple one, growing up with his parents and his older brother. His family wasn't wealthy but they made enough to survive on, his parents spoiling him and his brother now and then. From a young age, Nero was shy. He didn't do well in crowds or talking to new people. The teasing of his peers for being so shy caused Nero to become an introvert, avoiding all human interaction except with his family. When he turned ten, his brother introduced him to video games as way to help his younger brother relax and forget the teasing. They'd play games together for hours, laughing and joking.
As Nero got older, he started to realize he wasn't just attracted to girls. He had caught himself eyeing a few of the more athletic boys in his school. This started a whole new round of teasing. He turned to his video games more often, trying to forget all the things his peers said at school. At the age of sixteen, Nero received the Nerve Gear and Alfheim Online from his parents as a present. He had being showing a great interest in VRMMOs since the new round of teasing started. Nero dove right into it, soon forgetting all the teasing that happened during the day. Staying true to his shy nature, Nero stayed away from guilds and parties in ALO, fighting by himself.
When FAO came out, Nero bought as soon as he had the money for it. He loved the different style of gaming FAO offered compared to ALO, finding himself immersed in the game more than he was with ALO. He had only been playing for a couple months when the hack happened. He had been logged in for a couple hours and was about to log out to finish some house work. When he couldn't log out, he dismissed it as a small bug and thought it would be fixed within the next hour. He continued to play for a while longer than tried to log out again. It was at that moment that he realized there was no logging out anymore and everything suddenly became his fight for survival.
Goals: Akira's main goal is to beat FAO so he can return home but he is also striving to become a strong fighter

Abilities:
Blood Bending
Blood bending is an ability that grants the user manipulation of blood. Stemmed from water manipulation, the user can usually feel the movement of blood under the surface of skin and call it forth. Whether it be from their own body or another player's.
⊲ Weaponization of the user's blood is the most commonly seen use of this ability. The user must slice their hand to gain open access to their supply, and the blood can take on the form of a sword.
↳ Costs 25 mana and 20 health to call on.
⊲ The user may manipulate the blood in a wounded player to maintain gashes and wounds by preventing blood loss. This is not necessarily healing, but stopping the HP from dropping.
↳ Costs 30 mana and 30 health to call on.
