Profile:

Username: Kendre

Real name: Kenneth Drebenstedt

Age: 28

Gender: Male 

Height: 6’0”

About:

Raised in a lower middle class household, from a young age Ken never lacked for necessities, but had rare few luxuries. Through his younger years, by means of a car accident and some foolish choices, he managed to acquire a series of injuries in his left leg, causing him to become sedentary. Not long after his injuries, he was given his first gaming console and fell in love, quickly losing himself in the stories the games provided. As years passed, he remained immersed in gaming even into adulthood, spending countless hours alone in his room, playing solo or with friends online, or sometimes with his best friend, although he rarely did much else. Despite his hobby bordering on addiction, he did maintain steady work from the minute he came of age, moving out and on his own by the age of 19, and maintaining his own household from then onward.

After moving out on his own, Ken kept up with the newest generation of games as much as he could, with the majority of his social life being through a headset. Despite this, he had no qualms or regrets, treating his online friends just as he would a friend in real life, and so was able to acquire several good friends with whom he often gamed. With the advent of VRMMOs and the announcement of SAO, Ken and his friends and guildmates all agreed to meet up in SAO, and so each pre-ordered well in advance. He was excited to finally have a more in-person experience with the people he had come to know so well over the years, and found the anticipation to be nightmarish. But then the day arrived; he slid the netgear over his head and got comfortable, before saying “LINK START!”

 

 

Virtues:

 

Tactically-Minded: Kendre was always a tactics-centric player in any game, ranging from chess to MMOs, preferring to enter any given battle with a solid plan and proven allies. As a result of this, he is often willing to make decisions which may be detrimental to him, but have a high likelihood of improving the team’s overall odds. He often prefers the role of a tank, possibly as a result of his death wish or possibly due to his deep loyalty toward his friends, but also due to the sheer variety of tactics available to a team possessing a tank that would otherwise be unfeasible. Despite his preference, he does harbor a deep respect for skill in any role, preferring a finessed, skillful approach to brute force in many situations. His tactical mindset can, however, cause him to over think things at certain times, although it rarely becomes a true issue.

 

Loyal: Ken, due to various events in his life, has come to have a boundless respect for loyalty. As a consequence, he has endeavored to always remain loyal to his friends and family, making certain to always be there for them when he was needed. However, this makes him particularly unforgiving of betrayals, even if he would have taken a bullet for the person a day before. Due to his lack of forgiveness, regaining his trust can often be a difficult endeavor. He would never hold an accident against anyone, but conscious betrayals are the height of sin in his eyes.

 

Suspicious: Despite his loyalty, he is not a trusting person in most cases, though he trusts those he considers a friend implicitly. The difficulty with this is that he is initially very suspicious of the motives of anyone he meets, and remains so for quite a long time, sometimes for years, until a situation can occur in which their trustworthiness can be determined. This distrust also often extends to associates or friends of his friends, and he will often keep an eye on those who accompany his friends to ensure they have his friends' best interests at heart. While he isn't hostile in terms of intent, he can be seen as unfriendly due to his desire to protect his friends from hoodlums and miscreants.

 

Flaws:

Death Wish: Due to a variety of personal issues, Ken has come to be in a mental state where he not only accepts the reality of death, but embraces it. As he sees it, death is a release from struggle, pain, misery, loneliness, and conflict. He believes that no matter how "good" a person i s, humans are destroyers by nature, destroying that which came before us, each other, and the things we create in equal measure. Feeling that his fate is to suffer misery and see everything he cares about destroyed, he feels no fear of death, and considers himself expendable excepting the needs of those he cares for.

 

Socially Awkward: As a suspicious and generally introverted individual, Ken tries his best to make a passable impression of normal people, but often comes up short, coming off as awkward or overturning in some cases, creepy in others, and sometimes downright frightening. He rarely understands how he feels, and thus even more rarely is both comfortable and able to genuinely express himself to another. He is more socially fluid and comfortable in the presence of those he already knows, but strangers and crowds make him distinctly uncomfortable. He's no public speaker, that's for certain!

 

Phantom Injuries: Due to various incidents and accidents, Kendre’s IRL body received rather significant and lasting injuries on his left leg, including a permanently damaged knee and a bad hip. Although the system “cures” all ailments whilst inside the game, his history of both injury and combat training has left him with a habit of favoring his left side, despite the lack of need to do so. While this can sometimes result in surprising an opponent, most of the time it serves to simply adjust his fighting style to compensate, or to slow him down to avoid pain that doesn’t come despite weather or humidity, exhaustion or use.
