About: History/personality

Zack was something of an odd all before Sword Art Online launched and his life turned upside down. See, through middle and high school, he had the same group of friends and all of them were tight knit. He was always sociable and acted as the "glue" that kept them all together. Graduation saw the end of that.

The group was heavily fractured when several of them got into more prestigious schools, while Zack and the more average students went to the local University. Devastated by the drastic change in his social life, the youth began to fail in his classes and withdraw from the friend group altogether.

While he was transitioning into a routine of work, sleep, repeat, one of the guys managed to talk him into gaming as an outlet for his depression, and for a while, they played MMO games online. Zack started to come out of his downward spiral, right before his parent's announced their divorce. His mother worked several states away, and his father had decided that since Zack was virtually an adult, they had no obligation to continue their marriage.

He stopped gaming altogether, and holed himself up. Not eating or sleeping, Zack began to waste away. He lost his job, and his father became desperate. He conspired with Zack's friends to get him the newest game on the market, Sword Art Online. A Virtual Reality type MMO and the first of its kind, they rationalized that it would be an opportunity for him to live another life, at least until he came to grips with his own.

None of them could have imagined how right they were.

Virtues:

+ Dauntless: Ashrah knows no fear, even in the face of certain death. If there is an enemy that needs to be fought or a puzzle to complete, he throws himself at it and applies all of his effort, regardless of how tall an order.

+ For my Friends: Possibly his most admirable trait, Ashrah displays fierce loyalty to anyone he befriends, even if he barely knows them. He would never put any of them in harm's way, and he would do anything for them.

+ Social Paragon: From real life to the game world, Zack has always been the most charismatic of his friends. He is able to lead from the front, and he is compassionate to a fault. It helps to have someone who can talk to others, for the most part.


Flaws:

- Recklessness: On the downside of his fearless nature, Ashrah is prone to feats of incredible danger. That is to say, he often puts himself unnecessarily into danger, or attempts things that are above his capabilities. Without someone to talk him down, he may be a risk to himself.

- Hothead: His emotions run high, which is fantastic when it comes to relating to others and learning to understand them- but when he gets angry, he gets extremely angry. This causes him to be extremely uncooperative, and even leads to open conflict with others.

- Hidden Depression: At the core of his reason for playing SAO is a deep depression caused by drastic changes in his life outside the game. Because he tries never to think about or discuss this, he often bottles up those feelings and allows them to teeter out of control. He puts on a brave face, but sometimes the strongest of us are the ones who need the most help.

- Martyrdom: Zack puts others needs and wants before his own. Period. This ties in with his depression- in order to forget about it, he often takes on the problems of others and busies himself with fixing them. He does not know when to stop, and it tends to exhaust him and exact a toll on his mental state.
