» About: History/personality

A long-time gamer, Jonathan works as a Physical Therapist by trade. Somewhat sadistic, he enjoys greatly that he can improve the quality of life of the people he assists through methods that can be painful at times. Having a troubled childhood with fights between his immediate family and himself quite often, his white lab coat is best described as a cover for the person he expressed in the games he played after work. A known PKer and PKKer, his full intentions were to enjoy the full Netgear immersion as he stalked and killed players in this brand new game. His guild, Korosu, was supposed to join him within this game but he was the only one able to secure a copy on release day. None the less, Jonathan chose to use Magnus as is character name instead of Asaildrail, trying to lay low and get a handle on the game and how it works before his crew arrived to assist him. Goal in mind, he slipped on his Netgear and booted up SAO......

» Virtues:

Creative.

Having worked for some time in a branch of the Medical Field where you use what is available to you to assist whenever you need to, Jonathan has tremendous creativity when it comes to handling problems presented to him. What might seem as a tremendous wall to some is just an anchoring point for some ramps to him.

Experience.

Jonathan has been playing MMOs for quite some time. SAO may not be an average game, but it certainly IS a game at its core values. Having to lead a guild of players who aren't extremely well liked across many games teaches you many subtle things about interacting with others and what it takes to deal with setbacks in games, and Jonathan has dealt with his fare share.

Charismatic.

You don't end up leading a group of PKers and PKKers without being able to get them to work together, and that glue has been Jonathan's charisma. Having assumed a different name than he normally uses, if he manages to keep what he has done in other games from being public knowledge there is a chance he might just make some friends in SAO. Then again, he might just go back to his old ways of killing other players he deems worthy of the punishment.

Code of Ethics.

An odd thing to be said about a well known PKer and PKKer, but most people who don't cross Jonathan find him to be not only a fun person to be around but an upstanding one as well. He refuses to hurt anyone he deems helpless or in need of assistance, and has been known in the past to even help his enemies get gear and levels before turning around to hunt them down. He's been quoted saying "There is no fun in an easy kill. I don't prey on the weak, there's no honor in that. I prey on the strong. Bind, Torture, Kill. No fun if you skip step two."

» Flaws:

Sadist.

Jonathan likes seeing people hurt, there's no two ways about it. It is one of the few true euphoric things that can happen in his eyes, and he LOVES to watch people in pain. True, he has managed to make a living out of channeling that love of pain in a positive way, but that doesn't mean much in a world of weapons and monsters. Jonathan may help you out, but first he'll watch you bleed a little.

Fierce Loyalty.

Jonathan gets very touchy over the subject of his friends or guildmates. In fact, the first PK that he ever committed was over someone trying to scam his guild leader out of some items. The second was the friend of the first, and the 3rd through 27th were the rest of that original scammer's guild. Sometimes, when his friends or allies are concerned, he goes a little overboard.

Infamy.

The actions he has taken as leader of Korosu are not something that can be ignored. He has run guilds off games and servers, had real money bounties on his digital character's head, and has shown up on numerous lists of "Most Hated Characters" across many different forums and internet magazines. Sure, he isn't using the most well known name of his, but it is one he has used in the past and his real name is linked with his past deeds. He isn't the most hated of his crew because he will often direct his rage at PKers who have denied him a kill or done something he deems unjust, but that's pretty much saying he's not the worst of a group of horrible people.

Sexist.

The actions of his past and the issues with his family have caused Jonathan to harbor an ill will towards women. He doesn't hate or disrespect them upon first meeting them, but he's often inclined to take longer to trust them and not to give them the same respect he would a male of equal skill and character status. Add this to his charisma, and this gets him in trouble more often than not.
