                                            About: History/personality

The hum of the fan bounced off the walls in the tiny apartment. Virtual RPGs had been around for some time now but Tyler still spent some of his off time from school on the old desktop computer his Dad had given him years ago. He had spent several days pouring through old code for one of the biggest MMORPGs in the twentieth century World of Warcraft with his friends to build a private server they could play the old game on. He was a gamer through and through. If he wasn’t in class, he would immerse himself in a virtual world to escape the day to day frustrations of being a young adult.

 

He grew up a single child to a medium income family in the deep south, USA. The only things to do as a child in his town was play sports, often the most important pop culture event, and play video games with friends. He spent a lot of time doing both, his dad had been a gamer and had passed down the interest to his son. But Tyler also enjoyed staying active in the small community. This meant spending his Friday nights in high school on the football field, and weekends with a controller or VR headset on.

After high school, he moved to a small town to attend college with the intent to major in computer sciences. He stopped playing sports and spent more time playing games with friends that had either moved to school with him or that he met on campus. His days would consist of class and nights would be spent playing the newest game or building old computers and servers to play old games. He had a tight group of friends that he was loyal to and he enjoyed that comfort very much.

 

“Taunt” He yelled into the microphone, louder than intended. “Groups one and two move to the platform.”

 

They had spent all afternoon trying to clear on of the original raids in the game. He was playing a tank, a role he played in most games. He liked the responsibility of having the groups success rate on his shoulders. He also liked the way the class played, he liked to get in close to the target and anticipate the fight so that he could defend the other members of his party. The raid ended after they had cleared the boss. The game was rather fun even if it was an old game that they had to play on open source code.

 

Tonight, was the eve of the release of the most anticipated game in MMO history. He had pre-ordered SAO and it was supposed to be delivered tomorrow. He had already made plans with his group to log in as soon as the servers went live so they could get a head start on leveling. The plan was to get a group together; he would tag and tank monsters while the rest of his group focused on keeping him alive and DPSing down the targets. This should get them ahead in XP and then they would start doing quests. It had all been planned, or so they thought.

 

 

 

                                                          Virtues:
 

Loyalty:

Loyalty is essential to every relationship we have in life that matters. The loyal person acts for and stays with and remains committed even when the loyalty can be personally disadvantageous or dangerous. Ruus is fiercely loyal to a person or cause that he believes in. His loyalty is not easily gained; he believes you must earn his respect and trust. But once he has decided to take up someone’s friendship or cause, he will not turn his back on that effort until the task is complete.

Analytical:

Analysis is a detailed examination of something, typically as a basis for discussion or interpretation. Ruus has always been able to quickly analyze a situation and find what he believes to be the best solution. This has helped make him a good strategist in combat or when a problem presents itself. 

Courage:

Courage is the ability to choose the point between cowardice and recklessness in any circumstance. Courage can take many forms, courage to do what’s right, courage of facing a personal fear, courage to endure physical and mental pain or the courage to push forward in a difficult situation. Ruus has always been the guy in the group not afraid to try things first or put himself in front. This often led him to picking tanks in MMO’s so that he can put himself between the things intending to hurt his friends.

                                                             Flaws:
 

Blunt:

Ruus has always been straight to the point. This has often caused issues with friends and family. He tends to say what is on his mind, often without a subtly touch. He doesn’t intend for people to get upset by the things he may say or do, that’s just how he has always been.

Impatient:
Patience is not a virtue Ruus has ever had. He is a doer and as such he doesn’t like to sit around and wait for someone or something to come along. This has often caused problems with him rushing into a situation and having halfheartedly or prematurely and rely on his ability to analyze and make the corrections necessary.

Stubborn:

Ruus is bullheaded and unyielding at times. If he believes that he is right he will always argue his case. Once he has been given a task or purpose he is determined to carry it out to the end. 

Profession: (Leave blank until the Earning a Living quest has been completed.)
