History:

Aster Zuldigan was once a popular guy. He used to play sports, had many friends… oh who am I kidding? Aster’s life has always been inside a virtual screen. He’s always loved video games, specially RPG’s, which made having friends a little difficult. Growing up in a small town didn’t made it easier, everyone knew each other… and everyone knew him. He never was very popular so he went to school and kept his head down. As life went on, he grew up and went to college to experience life for the first time. College treated him well, a bit overwhelming at first but he dropped his barriers and decided to enjoy the time he had.

More years passed, he graduated from college… and he even got himself a nice girlfriend named Kono! The work life beckoned him, to which he obliged but… one day it all stopped. One Saturday evening his life changed forever… The rain poured down incessantly as he had just left the restaurant, Kono’s arm locked inside of his. They had gone to their favorite restaurant as they always do on date night. They held each other, covering from the rain under a small umbrella they had bought earlier that same day. They had had a stupid fight over the color of the umbrella, but Aster conceded with Kono’s choice because it made her beautiful gray eyes stand out. He looked into her eyes as they walked and watched the rain drops reflect inside the pupil of her eyes. They looked like shooting stars to him so he couldn’t help but smile. He didn’t know that it would be the last time he would look into her eyes like that…

All of a sudden, he heard a screech and looked up from Kono’s eyes. A white light engulfed his vision and he put up his arms to cover his eyes… and then everything went black went he felt something hit him in the stomach. Next time he woke up a hospital ceiling greeted him, with a sobbing woman at the side of his bed. Aster’s mother sat next to him and delivered to him the terrible news that Kono had passed away in the accident. It was a drunk driver that had lost control of his car and veered into their sidewalk. The doctors had done all they could, but ultimately she had lost too much blood too quickly.

As time passed Aster became more of a recluse, more so than how he was in high school. He stopped going to work, stopped talking to his friends and family and only played video games. It was a distraction which into and obsession. It was through this that he found SAO, his first attempt at socializing. He thought that what better to do this than through a game where people didn’t need to go anywhere in order to interact.

 

Personality:
 

Aster has become a very silent person, although he’s trying his best to be social. He’s not a strong silent type of player, but he admires those that are. He prefers to be alone most of the time, but he knows that he can’t be like that forever. His girlfriend, Kono, helped come out of his shell and for her he became a better person. He’s caring, will fight for what’s right and most of all, he hates bullies.

Virtues:

Caring – Zulas knows that there’s people that have it worse than he does. He helps those that he can without expecting something in return. He learned as he grew up, that there’s a little bit of peace in giving.

Outside-the-box – Zulas thinks outside the box when a problem presents itself. Knowing what to say is not his strong suit, but knowing what to do is. His quick thinking has gotten him out of sticky situations before… even some that his tongue has gotten him in in the first place.

Determined/focused – He does not know when to quit. Whenever a problem presents itself, he doesn’t deter from it until it is completed or when he knows it can’t be completed. This was considered one of the aspects that his friends used to like, but he never understood why. To Zulas, it seemed like a natural way to be.

Flaws:

 

Naïve – Zulas has not experience much in the way of the world. Yes, he has experienced love and loss but not anything else. Still, the intricacies of the world and the ones that live in it elude him. He hopes that one he will understand them and be able to experience them.

Withdrawn – After his girlfriend’s death he became a recluse. He began to stop having interactions with the outsider world more and more. He prefers to be by himself, and will be hard for him to initiate any type of conversation.

Tact-less – Due to him not having a lot of social experience, his mannerism lacks a bit of polishing. He says whatever’s on his mind at the moment if chooses to. Doing so, sometimes has gotten him in trouble with those around him, friends or family.

Story Thus Far (optional)

Zulas, having been entered the world of SAO not knowing that he would be stuck inside the game for real. He took the death game rules for real, but did not enter a state of panic as others did. He instead began to explore the Town of Beginnings, its places and its people. Days had passed since he had already been inside of the game but he hadn't done anything yet, he hadn't even gone outside the gates of the city. He thought it over for days and finally made the decision to venture outside the city's safe zone. His ideas brought him face to face with his first monster, a dire wolf, which he had no problems dispatching. Zulas then, confident in his abilities decided to tackle on two monster beetles at the same time. (Need to add more)
