History

Spoiler

A notably average person in almost every regard, Zachary was born the second son to the Campbell household as the eventual heir of an IT software development firm and a receding hairline. Perhaps the only interesting aspect of his short life thus far has been his parents' divorce. Not the event itself, as countless couples had parted ways, but that it's culmination instigated Zach and Mr. Campbell's travels to the land of the rising sun when he was 6. Since then Zach developed a penchant for fantasy and fiction, which developed over time to near fixation. His formal education suffered as a result of this split focus and weighing on the guarantee of employment with his father, Zach couldn't seem to muster the fight within himself to strive for loot and exp in the real world. Studying IT was the only demand his father made of him. To pass with a reasonable understanding of how to operate his future business and make something of himself. In this Zachary was happy to oblige, on the surface at least. As this was his gateway to VRMMORPG's and the eventual release of SAO.

Zachary was hardly unique in his interests and trappings, however, the turning point in his adulthood was when he met the people that were like himself. Much of life has been, or will be, decided for you until you start to pay your own taxes, and Zachary was no different. Moving continent for example. In moving away from home to stay on the University campus Zachary entered what felt like to him to be the real world. Free from outside control and checks. It was in this real world he was introduced to the future. Virtual Reality developed in leaps and bounds. Every year breakthroughs were made and the limit of what was thought possible was time and time again surpassed. To play as your favourite character shifted into becoming your favourite character. Rendered in increasingly better detail, the iterations of Eli's avatar in the game of the month developed and grew much like he did. Though at a far more rapid pace. The lines of fantasy and reality began to blend and on more than several occasions their friend group would refer to themselves as their digital counterparts. SAO was the natural progression.

Years in the waiting Zachary ensured he managed to procure one of the first commercial release copies and realize his dream, much to the envy and dismay of his friends; to live in his fantasy world.

Virtues

Spoiler

Determination | Unlike reality, this world makes sense. It's fair; what you put in is what you get out, and there is nothing you can't overcome to achieve whatever it is you're looking for. Unlike Zachary, Elias is filled with passion and zeal. Nothing is too great a challenge and nothing, he feels, can stop him.

Compassion | Elias wears something of a hero complex in that he strives to save the day, the maiden and the world whenever the quest marker appears. Never would he leave someone to got it alone, or take advantage of a situation if it meant a player would lose out on what was rightfully theirs.

Patience | Only fools rush in and Elias keeps to that mantra. Why risk missing out on sidequests, or overlooking rare drops all for the sake of rushing through the campaign? Elias can easily calm himself and take a few moments to assess a situation and balance the pros and cons before coming to a conclusion.

Flaws

Spoiler

Aggression | Anyone that could see Elias in combat would probably think he takes it way too seriously. And they would be correct. Elias uses killing monsters as his vent of frustration and anger, which there is a lot of and despite best laid plans, Elias can very easily get caught up in dishing out the hurt when the red covers his eyes.

Relationships | Elias isn't quite up to scratch when it comes to real people and relationships beyond a friend request. Not that he is distrustful of people, but that real situations and deep emotions often confuse and baffle him. Elias prefers the rigid structure and rule of games that can be understood.

Sore Loser | When things don't go his way or how he expects them to develop Elias can very easily fall into childishness and irritability. Becoming passive aggressive and not letting points go is perhaps why relationships don't go very deep with him, which is why he doesn't quite know how to deal with them.
