» About: Born John H. Riley III on June 9th, 21 years ago. John's parents, Martha and John II, were American missionaries to Japan. John spent his youth being bounced back and forth between Japan and the United States, his parents taking furlough every four years. Though he agreed with his parents' views on God on paper, their faith and fervor were not his. Attending MK schools in Japan and private academies in the US, John was an intelligent, if not humble student. A lifelong fan of kung-fu movies and fantasy flicks, John studied kendo in Japan and Historical European Martial Arts in the US, along with fencing, swimming, and archery. With the training and the capacity to fight came some arrogance, and John tended to get into trouble for not keeping his mouth shut.

John's life changed during his final year at film school, where he had been studying writing, directing, and acting. His internship took him right back to Japan, where his parents were concerned that he had drifted too far from the faith. The last conversation he had with his parents before donning his headset that fateful day was an annoyed one, where he chided them for pestering him.

Now, with his life on the line, John is deeply regretful of his former attitude. Re-dedicating his life to God, he embraced the player name he had chosen: Kane. One who walks the earth. Not in rebellion, but to live, and to help others survive so that they may someday make it back to the real world. Kane's goal in SAO is to become strong enough to survive the perils of this world, to make it back home to his family, and to defend those too weak to fight for themselves, so that one day, he too can stop wandering.

----------------------------------

» Virtues:

Combat Trained. Kane reaps the benefits of prior training in martial arts, weapon handling, and tactical thinking. He's still getting used to the mechanics of the world around him, but the muscle memory for combat and an awareness of his opponents is already a part of him.

Diplomat. As the son of missionaries, Kane has always felt slightly out of place in both of his home countries, but he learned to take that weakness and turn it into a strength. Regardless of people's initial attitude towards him, Kane is well-versed at setting people at ease, and the ability to make friends easily is a valuable one in a world like Aincrad.

Decisive. Confident and sure of himself, Kane is never at a loss for a plan. He is wholly dedicated to what he considers his mission of mercy, growing strong enough to help others survive and return to the real world. Others naturally look to him for direction, and he's willing to lead when it's needed. This also translates into being able to improvise stratagems and re-evaluate battlefield tactics on the fly.

» Flaws:

Prideful. Kane is accomplished, and he knows it. His ego can get wounded easily, and he has a hard time working with people who are type A personalities like himself.

Ruthless. While he works towards the greater good, Kain is not above manipulating others to achieve that end. A gifted speaker, the downside of his ease with others is that he can slip into seeing people as tools, or as stepping stones on the path to victory.

Lazy. In spite of his abilities and dedication, Kain occasionally has a lazy streak. This usually manifests as the desire to skip training days or take long showers/naps.

--------------------------

Profession: None thus far, Kain prefers to stay close to the front lines.

---------------------------

Inventory Capacity: 8

---------------------------

SKILLS: 32 Skill Points (Start=1)+(Level ups= 19)+(Completed RPs=14)= 33 (2 unused)

Each Skill represents six stages of proficiency in a single area.

0 - Unskilled -->2

1 - Novice -->4

2 - Journeyman -->6

3 - Expert -->8

4 - Master -->10

5 - Grandmaster -->12

(Before placing the final skill point, a player must make a two page topic detailing the culmination of their training for GM review. You have to earn it people.)

You need 2 points in order to advance to novice and then +2 each level (i.e the next one is 4 then 6,8, and finally 12= level 5) and each new level you start over from 0 and the recently earned points DO NOT carry over.

--------------------

Story Thus Far (optional)

»Kane has completed his soul searching, and emerged ready to power up and see the mad Kayaba's death game through to the end. After a chance meeting with fellow American Miaki, Kane found himself in need of better equipment in order to challenge the field boss of floor 2, the Bullbous Bow. Wandering through the streets of Starting City, he came across the NPC blacksmith, Pepper, who sent him on a quest to retrieve materials for a rare and unique weapon.

After besting the mind games of the NPC Mr. Riddle, Kane had all of the Mithral and Adamantine that he needed for Pepper to forge him a blade. The blade that he ended up receiving, the <>, was a custom, colossal blade that was as big as Kane himself, yet light enough to use because of its Mithral/Adamantine construction.

As he leveled up, Kane was able to obtain better armor, and now he wears <> which better protects his vital areas, as well as a <> to carry his titanic blade. Winning a pair of <> from a card game with the seductive Ruby, and <> from his combat with the Bullbous Bow field boss, Kane is now wearing a full set of Medium Armor.

He takes a few breathers from time to time in town on the 1st floor, meeting players like Miaki, Rynn, Swift, and Askavi. On the 2nd floor, he tapped his inner warrior spirit to destroy a boulder with his bare hands, gaining the <> Extra Skill. After that ordeal, Kane made his way to the outskirts of the 2nd floor, battling the immense field boss <>, and striking the final blow with his own blade. On the 3rd floor, Kane and Swift encountered the Wasp Queen field boss, and engaged it in combat.

On the 6th floor, he confronted his inner demons and emerged victorious, gaining the <> Extra Skill. Back on the first floor, he met the headstrong athlete, Rynn, and set out to help her make a spear. They battled the fiery Ifrit, a hellish secret boss secreted within a cavern. Kane's <> was set ablaze and destroyed during this battle. He had the cloak replaced with an enhanced <> by Ayane, a Tailor. On the third floor, Kane entered the Forest of Wavering Mists to find King Minos' Tomb, seeking the precious <> within. He defeated the Tomb's Minotaur guardian, and emerged with the pendant.
