History

Life tends to be easy for most, but for Spencer life hasn't been so kind for them. Born to a dying mother and a non-existent father, Spencer was cared for by their loving mother alone without a father figure to help support the two. Not much is known about Spencer before the age of 5 after the death of their mother which his aunt gain custody of the young Spencer. Aunty M, Marie Kavanaugh became a loving mother figure for Spencer, showered them with love especially when they started to show the development of an independent personality by the age of 7. Spencer began picking out and wearing gender-neutral stylish clothing, began growing out their hair, and began worrying about their appearance towards others. Being very active physically while growing up, Spencer spent a decent amount of time physically working outside and training their body. They would be swimming on Mondays, Jogging on Tuesday, Lifting weights on Wednesdays, Sit-ups, and push-ups on Thursdays, Helping their aunty on Fridays, and during the weekend they could be seen nerding out either reading mangas, watching animes, or playing video games while their body rested. It would be around the age of fifteen when Spencer was introduced into hardcore gaming and becoming more competitive in the scene, they took a tanking role in a popular MMO for a large guild where they would raid every weekend. During this Spencer developed severe insomnia and would go without sleep for days until the point where they would be found passed out on the keyboard, in class, or even standing up in the kitchen. When the time would near for the release of SAO their guild leader at the time was lucky enough to receive a few secured accesses and spoke to the guild, with how close the guild had become they held a competition between 2 dungeon parties. Much like the typical Esport tournaments between two parties, the first one to beat the dungeon would receive the SAO secured access....Well you can pretty much guess which team won this, Spencer and their team celebrated by meeting up in New York City, USA. They celebrated an entire weekend before the launch of SAO and vowed to meet up in-game once they found each other, Spencer prepared for the launch of the game by doing extra exercises the week before so they wouldn't let their figure go......

Personality

• Nature - Ark is a competitor and takes great excitement in the pursuit of victory. To Ark, every task is a new challenge to meet and a new contest to win. Indeed, Ark sees all interactions as some sort of opportunity for them to be the best — the best leader, the most productive, the most valuable, or whatever.
• Demeanor - Ark comes off as a Judge who perpetually seeks to improve the system. They take pleasure in their rational nature and ability to draw the right conclusion when presented with facts. Ark respects justice, as it is the most efficient model for resolving issues.

 

Virtues:
 

• Honorbound - Ark has vowed to bring a sense of honor into their life and promised to protect all those who are weaker than them and those who are in need of help. Though not a PK'er themself they will protect other players against Pk'ers even if it flags him as a Pk'er. "Protect those who cannot protect themselves, it's my honor-bound way." If Ark's honor is challenged they will gladly stand firm and to what ever it takes to prove their honor isn't tarnished offering to duel or prove their honor.
• Charity - Willing to give up their own time to help others when they are free, Ark has been seen assisting newbies to games, handing out extra items to those who need and cannot afford and has been seen giving gear of themself while fighting. Their charity has no limit to those who are in need and will assist anyone who asks for it. Material wealth means nothing to Ark and their own time is worth helping those who are in need, always thinking its better to give than receive.
• Courageous - Danger doesn't scare Ark away from battles, they charge into battle courageously no matter how big the enemy or challenge is. They could be outnumbered in battle but Ark doesn't shutter away from his duty to protect or quest objective. Many will say about Ark is that they never have given up on their duties and have died for their own team-mates on many occasions in previous MMO's.
• Unyielding - Unwilling to yield to the thought of losing, Ark will muster every single bit of energy from his body to overcome their foe. It isn't just strength or strategy alone that will make you succeed but the unyielding will to give up in dire situations, their mind and body will refuse to quit.

Flaws:

• Extremely Audacious - Ark is known for their bold risks when others are in the line of fire whom they are protecting, acting without care of their own being to intercept the attack/attackers or physically throwing their party member out of the way. "It is better for I to fall than my comrades." This had lead them to many deaths in previous games especially in some hardcore games in which death is permanent.
• Insomnia Disorder - Ark suffers from an extreme case of Insomnia to the point where many have noticed Ark being up for several days before passing out where they stand. Several times this has happened playing past games and even during their school days, many have found Ark passed out upon the keyboard, halfway out of their clothes, or even sleeping in class.
• Fierce - A violent passion for Ark's companions burns deep within them ever since discovering the vrmmo's, if Ark bonds with a group or a person they will do whatever it takes to keep them safe even though if it means sacrificing themself. It has even gone so far that in some cases would interfere in other conflicts when one is outnumbered.
• Fixation - Heh....Well, Ark has a major issue with their gear and is extremely fixated on keeping them pristine when one is not doing their daily level grind or quests. They have been seen heading to the smithy anytime damage is done to their gear, if there is no damage present to their gear they are seen polishing it or just wiping it down....Yes, a little on the obsessive side of fixation.
• Habit - Some get very frustrated at times when they hear Ark cracking their knuckles or joints, its a very bad habit they have picked up from their father. They have grossed out their teachers, friends and even family members at times with the amount of pointing and cracking sounds they make. However, most wouldn't know the deep secret behind the reason why all of this cracking and popping, for those who deeply know Ark its a way to cope with the deep-seated anxiety they face with.
• Hedonistic - Food....something Ark is deeply in love with has been something of a pleasure to their senses of sight, taste, and smell. They can be seen visiting bakeries, restaurants, food stalls or even their own kitchen. Food, Food, Food.
• Overambitious - Striving to conquer any enemy before them, Ark can be overambitious when trying to achieve certain goals. They strive to be the best tank possible and to protect all those who company them. This over ambitiousness is due to the poor life of unable to protect their own mother IRL, when things become dire they will strive to overcome all obstacles in their way.
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder - They usually maintain a prideful appearance and have a great sense of morality and order. Ark believes that everything is about balance instead and strives to keep the balance between "good" and "evil" in equilibrium, Ark is very much obsessed with orderliness and symmetry and has been known to fix or attempt to fix anything that isn't balanced or symmetrical.
• Tongue-tied - Literally tongue-tied, Ark has some major difficulties with speech especially words with "t," "d," "z," "s," "th," "r" and "l." Many have difficulties trying to understand Ark when they speak, it has frustrated many friends, teachers, and authority figures when asked questions. Ark even gets very annoyed with themself when they are unable to say a certain word or phrase.
