Username: Akatsu
Real name: Akiya Otsu
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Height: 5’4” (163 cm)

Background:

In her current adult life, Akiya, Aki for short, is a bartender. She works at a high-brow fancy hotel bar for business people to unwind. The women wear kimonos as their standard work attire, and the staff is entirely composed of women. The primary patronage is men, although a few women will stumble in from time to time.

Aki lives a reasonably comfortable life, as one of the more popular bartenders. She flirts with the men, and they tip accordingly, thinking that all Aki wants is a good sugar daddy to feed her. She never actually lets them get close though, with every man in the bar always left hanging by a thread, and Aki walking away with the check.

But this lifestyle doesn’t come without its risks, as Aki has gotten into her fair share of trouble with the men not wishing to be left dangling and getting a bit too brave. Aki has been cornered more times than she would like to admit, but she is always saved by one key female patron. Her best friend Ryou.

Having met at the bar, Ryou has always been a stalwart, if not completely drunk and not always comprehensible, protector. As soon as the men realize that Aki isn’t alone, they tend to back off, caught in the act of near violence. And Aki, always thankful for the save, attempts to help Ryou as much as she can. But Ryou has none of it. So Aki started getting sneaky and having the businessmen give her two of anything, tickets, toys, trinkets, etc. One goes to Aki, and one goes to Ryou. Because Aki wouldn’t let Ryou just waste a good gift.

All of this leads to SAO. There was an especially well-connected businessman that was flaunting in the bar, loudly, this new video game that was gonna revolutionize video gaming. Now, Aki doesn’t know anything about video games, but what Aki does know is that new tech is always valuable. So she gets in real close with this man, and he agrees to get Aki a copy of the game through his connections if she agrees to spend the night with him in the game.

Now, Aki has literally no clue what that means. But if she’s stuck with this guy to get this tech, she figured she should make it worth her while. So she offers for Ryou to join them. The man, perhaps a little too excited, lights up at the idea of another girl joining them, and agrees to get them both in the game. The next day, the man arrives at the bar, two Nervegears in tow. The girls take their games and set them up, following the instructions as best they can. The rest, as they say, is history.

Virtues

1. Optimistic - Boundless optimism that seeps into every part of her life is the perfect description for Aki. Aki hates frowns, and she hates pessimistic mindsets. It doesn’t matter who it is, or even if she likes them or not, she wants them to be positive and will find any excuse to find the silver lining in any situation.
2. Charismatic - Aki knows how to bend people to her whims with the perfect words, a smile, or a wink and a nod. Depending on the situation, she can make most men, and even some women, bend over backward to do as she wishes. She has no issues getting what she wants and isn’t afraid to ask for it either.
3. Flexibility - Aki is both physically and mentally very flexible. She can fit herself into most situations with ease, and get out of many of them just as fluidly. She likes the challenge that comes with going against the grain or finding the loophole, especially when it comes to getting what she wants. If there is a way in or out, she will find it and exploit it to the fullest.

Flaws

1. Airhead - Aki is absolutely a ditz. She knows how to rub elbows with anyone, and how to get exactly what she wants. But when it comes to actual attention and smarts, she is lacking. She isn’t especially book smart, and her perception outside of her current target is often lacking, leading to the problems that Ryou often has to save her from.
2. Selfish - Literally only one person has ever gotten anything from Aki, with that being Ryou. And this, like any other transaction, is one of give and take. Ryou saves Aki from trouble, Aki gives Ryou something. But if someone tries to convince Aki to give them something? Good luck. Aki gets what she wants and it’s usually all for her. If Ryou isn’t around, then she takes the whole pot. Greed is the name of the game.
3. Childish - Aki, at 27 years old, has never had a hard day in her life. She loves her job, and more than anything loves the money she makes at this job. She loves how easy it is to fleece the businessmen with a wink and a promise that she will never keep. She absolutely does not understand the adult risks that come with this lifestyle, nor does she really understand the concept of being an adult in general, with all her needs taken care of by men that will never be given the promises she offers.
