About: History/personality

Ren was a student working in downtown Shinjuku at a cafe in his off hours before SAO came online. Saving up money to go to college, he wasn't even going to spend the hard-earned yen on SAO until his younger brother, Taro, suggested they play together. Unfortunately for Ren, his brother's copy didn't arrive on the first day when they were supposed to play together, and Ren was trapped inside the game to face SAO alone, in hopes of getting out and seeing his little brother once again.

Ren is a soft-spoken, content, and level-headed guy typically, being a little bit on the introverted side in dealing with people. In his mind, panic is the enemy, and rashly responding to a situation with fear or anger is just playing into Kayaba's hands. Deep down, his highest ideal is to maintain his moral compass, being the kind of man his little brother thought he was when he went in. Seeing so many people die before his eyes has taken a toll on him, but Ren strives to stay true to his ideals of helping others. To him, Kayaba is the ultimate symbol of what's wrong with the world; someone who exerted their will over others and ruined their lives. 

Virtues:

Patience: Ren, or Sleight as he's called online, prefers not to just run into a situation guns blazing. Assessing the situation and weighing his options prevents him from making the wrong choice, but oftentimes decisive action is needed. Whenever possible, he tries to be the voice of reason, keeping tempers cool. A decision made in haste is one that you may regret.

Wit: While he might not talk much needlessly, Sleight knows that people who talk a lot see a lack of speaking up as a sign of dullness, or a lack of wit. Quite the opposite in reality, Ren made high marks in school and was well-liked by his peers, able to use wordplay and persuasive argument to great effect when necessary. The ability to, when necessary, be convincing and effective in speech is one Ren possesses, and he can catch you off guard if you're expecting a dimwitted brute by his looks.

Altruism: Growing up with useless parents made Ren the hero of his little brother, Taro. He had to be there to provide for and protect his brother, and model what a good man should be. Ren made this a priority, to maintain a good moral center and not stray from the path of a righteous man so his brother would always have a good example. Even separated from him in this time of crisis, Sleight cannot ignore those in true need.

Flaws:

Mask of Apathy: The world of SAO is a tough one for a sensitive soul, and for Ren it's no different. He usually approaches others with his guard up, the mask of quiet apathy shielding him from every con artist or co-dependent leech with a sob story. Sleight knows that in true need he must help people, but he has to shut off his emotional processing to make the hard choices that need to be made. 

Stubborn: Part of being a pseudo-parent is being decisive, and being confident in your choices when you think you've made the right choice. Unfortunately, for Ren this often devolves into stubbornly going his own way until someone else decides it's too much trouble to argue with him. If he does relent, it is usually done with much grumbling and grousing.

Smart-ass: Sleight often deals with people that are trying to trick him, cheat him, use him, or get money out of him in some form or fashion in this death game. So, his responses to people (while gentle and sparse) can come off as a bit... antagonistic. If he thinks you're being stupid or malicious, he'll probably let you know in a really grating way.
