Background

Born in the United States, Fuji was never the subtlest nor smartest of people. However he made up for his lack of intelligence with his dogged determination in getting things done. Brute force was always his preferred method in life, and for the most part it worked. He pushed through elementary and middle school with admittedly mediocre grades but he and his family were happy.

Then he moved to Japan just before entering highschool, with his parents missing their homeland.

Those weren’t the best of times for him. Losing his friends in the United States, he attempted to interact with his new classmates. However, the culture differences between the United States and Japan led to many stumbles in social interaction, leading him to be ostracized by his peers. Pushing harder like he normally does just added to fire to flame, and soon he was alone. While his determination remained intact, he became more taciturn. And very lonely.

Stumbling onto MMO’s was a godsend to him. They weren’t exactly the most complicated of things, and the main barrier of entry, grinding, was easily overcome by his effort. And it felt good to level up, to see instant results for his effort. It became an outlet for his spare energy, and he became addicted to them. His family was admittedly a bit concerned about how many hours he put into them, but in the end decided to wave it off, simply happy that his eyes finally had light in them again.

He cruised along in life, eventually landing a job. And he was happy. With a steady income, a fulfilling past time, and with tentative steps back into the social arena, he felt optimistic about his future. So optimistic, he saved up for this new VRMMO thing. Looking forward to viewing the world he loved without looking through a screen.

Then, Kayaba.

Fuji loved MMO’s, however being trapped within them, separated from his family and uncertain what's happening with his real body didn’t sit well with him. Going out starving however didn’t either. He lived day to day, gathering and selling enough materials to make ends meet. And after a long while, he felt like he had enough saved up. With a stash of Col and Materials, Fuji felt ready to take on this death game. And with no doubt in his mind, he takes his first step towards the future.

Virtues

Do Not Falter
Hesitation is a foreign concept to Fuji. Believing that thinking over things just made everything more complicated, he will rush forward without a second thought. While normally a flaw, being decisive in a game fighting monsters is not a trait that should be condemned. And so Fuji believes that this is one of his more positive traits about him, although it has led to some troubles in the past.

Never Say Die
To give up is to spit on all the work he’s done up to this point. That was the case with everythings he’s faced so far, and he won’t stop now. Even when he’s facing down certain death, he'll keep moving forward. It's something that he's always done for his whole life, and what he plans to do so for the rest of it. And for the most part, this tenacity has served him well.

Hit it Harder
While Fuji by no means can ever work smarter, he can absolutely work harder. And for those situations that call for it, he excels. Even faced with the boring jobs of grinding or other tedious things, he finds pleasure in them. Whether this is from a sense of satisfaction he derives from completing those tasks, or finding enjoyment in the most mundane of chores, it helps a lot in MMO's, where majority of your time is simply grinding for better stuff.

Flaws

Alone
Unless absolutely necessary, Fuji prefers to strike out alone. Mostly born from his prior experiences, he's always been a more secluded type of guy. MMO’s however tend to emphasize teamwork, and while he’s played plenty of those, he rarely engaged in group content. And if he had to for progression, he never stuck around, avoiding guild invites like the plague. That is not to say he has a fear of communication, he can talk to others just fine. Yet he will try to avoid it as much as possible.

The Bluntest Tool in the Shed
A thinker or planner Fuji has never been. Hittings things and making sure things hit him is about as complicated a strategy he’s ever made. Sometimes he spices it up by drinking a potion when the bar thingy turns red. This trait is further expanded in a game, as he's of the belief that games should be for fun and not to think. So thinking he does not.

Meat Shield
Fuji reflexively tries to defend his allies without a second thought. While normally good, this combined with a lack of thought leads to suicidal charges. It's a play style born from his days of MMO's, where this mindset is rewarded and even celebrated.  However it has the caveat that Fuji tends to die during these heroics. Internally, he knows that if he continues doing this, his name will end up being crossed out from the monument of life. But whether due to a sense of pride or general recklessness, he refuses to change.
