About: History/personality
Nicholas grew up in Japan, but his dad was American. He always stuck out, being an American at a school in Japan, so no one really ever spoke to him. That is, unless they wanted to start something and get Nicholas in trouble. Nicholas hated breaking the rules, so he embraced the loneliness and started to try to keep from being noticed. Everything about him was forgettable, as he intended. He wanted to blend in and keep from causing trouble, but it almost never worked out, he was too plain. Sophomore year he decided to take a kendo class where he quickly rose to the top. The club is where he found his best friend.

His best friend is the one who told him about SAO. He recommended the game because Nicholas was a gifted swordsman, and his friend thought he'd be one of the top players. His friend got the Beta and told him how amazing the game was, so after his college classes Nicholas started to work a few jobs and saved up enough to buy a nerve gear. His friend came over and they played video games all night. His best friend slept in and Nicholas decided to let him sleep. That's when he put on the NerveGear, and said those words that started it all.  
Virtues:

Tactical Genius: Nicholas was at the top of his Kendo class in the real world, and specialized in a multitude of weapons. But he was also good with looking at every move as a setup to the next, which made him a very hard enemy to beat in a fight. He felt at home when he held a weapon, so he naturally wanted to be good with it. It was one of his strengths and he wanted to have one do his life wasn't too boring. He cultivated this talent further when he joined sword art online.

Loyal to friends: Nicholas keeps his emotions to himself, and his secrets hide underneath. The people who do see his emotions can know that he considers them a friend. Him having few friends made him cherish the ones who didn't try to leave him in the dust. It makes the man incredibly loyal to his friends. He will always stand by his friends, even if they're wrong, because he likes to hold on to the few friends he has and would never betray them.

Calm: In order to draw as little attention as possible, the man has learned to let most things slide. There is a point at which he breaks, but he almost never loses his cool. He lets all the insults slip right off of him. They almost never get through to him and hurt him, it's how he disappeared. This helped keep him from causing trouble, and he liked not getting in trouble. Nicholas also learned to take the world in one piece of info at a time.

Flaws:
Invisible: Nicholas spent the better half of his life hiding from the spotlight, so that he never caused problems. This fear of messing things up always makes him avoid making big scenes and drawing attention to himself. He hid from attention as best he could and now he's good at it, but he can't undo it. He still has trouble being memorable, and regrets his decision to live his life under the radar. But he had done made his decision and won't go back on his decision.

Shy: Because Nicholas was always hiding from the spotlight, he never learned to talk to people. The words were always simple for everyone else, but Nicholas was always scared to mess it up. So instead of risking it and succeeding or failing, he decided to not attempt it at all. It's the easy going lifestyle he picked, but it was incredibly lonely, it's how he lived his life and was ready to be lonely for a long time. It's the sacrifice you make to be forgettable.

Slow to Trust: Nicholas having no friends, never really understood when people tried to be nice to him, so he never trusted their intentions until they prove they mean what they say. His lack of trust in people tends to drive them away, so he had to learn how to survive on his own. Those he does eventually trust are incredibly dear to him. But getting that close to him can be difficult, cause getting him to trust you is the hardest part.

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