History

You were not very fond of school even though you somehow managed to graduate with decent grades just to get by. But you love video games, they are the beacons of your life! You like playing fantasy games and adore medieval too, as well as any anime games worth playing. And let's not forget MMORPGs. You used to religiously play one such MMO in anime style as a young otaku, but gradually you stop playing as you realize how grindy and boring it is as time passed, the declining player base reinforced your eventual boredom towards it. Soon you also realized that there aren't many great MMO games to play since they all look the same and again, dull to play.

Up to your age you had completed your diploma, and even though you had the chance to start a degree, you ended up living like a NEET. You don't deny that you were grown spoiled as your rich parents gave you money and a place to live to ensure that you live as a so called independent man. You wasted your days away playing games, staying in your home, walking around parts of Tokyo, especially Akihabara, and sometimes sank into loneliness and depression thanks to a lack of companionship and self-esteem. This went on for a year until one day, SAO was finally released to the world. The ultimate MMORPG you are looking for was finally in your hands at the first day of its launch, and you rushed home and to your bed and lie down like a mummy after putting on your own Nerve Gear.

Little did you know, you would eventually be trapped in a fantasy with, admittedly, you don't mind staying...things may get better or worse there, but hey, at least you can finally purge evil for real.

 

Virtues First, Flaws Last

Brave: Some may call you reckless, but it doesn't deter you much since you are willing to face danger head on. You do not care if monsters look scary to others, more so if your strength is equal to said beings. In your principle of monster slaying, if it bleeds, you can kill it.

Tolerant: You don't easily get taken down by mean words, whether they come from a guy or a girl. To you, these words don't really mean anything if ignored, thus rendered useless. You also think that you don't have much of a reputation to defend to begin with, so whatever nonsense they spout about you, you just let them be and move on. You have better things to do.

Heroic: Now this may sound a bit broad, but to put it simple, you do care if you see or hear anyone that needs help, so long as said help is within your level. Saving somebody, receive a cure, help that player trying to find a way back into town, you name it. But in your mind, you don't do these things just to be a hero and receive praises and swag like free food, lodgings and ladies. You do this to ensure the safety of that person, or at least release whatever burdens they face. However, you don't just help everybody as you leave them alone if you see that they still can solve their own problems.

And now, flaws.

Lack of self-esteem: You don't feel attractive or even worthy of being helped, even in your NEET days. You always think that somebody will be a better friend or lover to that person, and you make no effort in making any more advances beyond acquaintance or even friendship. You fear rejection and being hurt of losing somebody, thus you don't try to think of any possibility that they may like you more than what you think. You think that this is for the benefit of your mental health.

Loneliness: There are times when you feel down, like having a kind of sleep that is really hard to wake up to. Though you are happy that you are in a new world with fantasies made real, you still feel lonely and try your best to fight against this personal monster through adventuring. Sometimes it made you cry, but in spite of this, you still feel the need to pick up your sword, stand up and keep pushing on, even if this flaw may last for a long time. This is okay, you think to yourself, as long as your friends are happy and safe...and you still have a reason to live in this world.

Shyful: You hate to admit that you are a shyful person and don't want to take the role of a leader or a speaker in front of people. You prefer to stay behind the lines and just be the foot soldier, caring only about yourself while listening to your superiors. As for the ladies, if you hear them speaking flirtatiously to you, probably enough to make you blush, you either look away as if distracted by something, or try to rebuff their advances through indifference.
