Garou

[Garou 0]

«Garou»

Real Name: Yon Aurinko

» Age: 17

» Gender: Male

» Height: 5' 9"

» About: Yon was a young man who was bored of school and life in general. He tried to go on long walks to new places to try to spark some excitement in his life, but he soon realized one thing was missing: excitement, the adrenaline and romance of risking one's life. He was ecstatic to find out about Nerve Gear and Sword Art Online, so he made sure to get it the first day it came out. Now he has entered Aincrad with a taste for adventure on his tongue.

» Virtues:

Benevolent- Yon tries to help strangers and is generally good. If a complete stranger were to meet him for the first time, he would lend a hand if they needed it. This benevolence ends when someone gets on his badside. See Fierce for further details..

Loyal (Yon does not betray anyone who has acquainted themselves with him, and will throw his life on the line to protect people he has met. Yon believes trust is sacred.).

Polite (Yon is an all around pleasant individual who tries his best to flatter friends but never steps over their comfort zones. He is even against disgracing an enemy.).

» Flaws:

Fierce (Aggressive in battle, offensive and slightly reckless. Yon is bitter to anyone who has completely broken his trust, hurt an innocent, or provoked him.).

Lack of Self Control (Yon is instinctual to a fault. If he sees an opening in an enemy's defense, he will go in for the kill, no matter how dangerous the circumstances. He cannot really keep a secret from a group of close friends unless it is very serious and personal.) .

Loner (Yon was mostly antisocial in his real life, and he finds it hard to rely on others. He finds it hard to trust some people and harder still to have a relationship, but deep down he craves close friends and even a family someday.).

Story Thus Far

» Garou has entered the world of SAO and is currently lingering around the Starting City. As he headed out to see the fields outside he met and friended Amtrum, a discreet man determined to beat Sword Art Online. Together they fought boars and wolves to level up before taking on any real challenges. After that, Garou headed back into the city only to receive a message about an event: 'Red Diamond Hunt.' Apparently a player had killed another player and was then on the run from a boss monster "sent by the gods." Soon leaving the city again he met Shanok, another young player. They partied together and set out to find the monster in a nearby forests. With the combined efforts of other, higher-level players, they managed to destroy the Red Diamond Hunter together. Some of the players in the battle were noted as Player Killers, but they ran away with some non-PKer friends, babbling about getting some food. The quest-designated player killer (Ruby) soon revealed herself to the two boys and Amtrum, who had fended off the boss as well. She ran away as they were unable to do anything, paralyzed by an after-effect of the boss' death. There she was confronted by Rage, but Ryu stopped the battle.

After the skirmish, Garou returned to the Starting City. There he met an NPC performer who went by "John Doe." This man taught the boy how to play violin and be an acrobat, eventually revealing that he is indeed a player in disguise known as "The Caped Performer." Garou received the man's hat as a gift and set out to train hard, bearing chains around his body to enhance his acrobatic training. Afterwards, Garou met up with Rage (a player who saved him during the Red Diamond Hunt), who forged him a longsword called 'Heaven's Beam' in kind return for the boy playing a piece on his violin. Together, they met Keith Yudai, an aspiring Beast Tamer raid a bandit cave, retrieving an Astral Dragon egg and hatch it into his familiar: Startorious. The next day, Garou challenged Rage to a duel. Rage was the victor (obviously) but they formed a solid bond with each other that day.

Garou travelled up to Floor 2 by himself, meeting Clarence in the town of Urbus. Together they set off and accidentally saved Keith. It turned out that Keith was captured by the Laughing Coffin guild. The three were assaulted by the guild later, and they respectively assaulted them back. They all drew blood from the players on their own vengeful accord, turning them all into technical player killers. During the bloodbath, a wandering soul named Zelrius, demented by his own bloodlust, desired to kill the three boys for the Laughing Coffin. Garou stepped up to the challenge without fear, defeating the mad killer. He managed to convince Zelrius to repent his old ways and join their side, while they all escorted the surviving PKers to a nearby jail. It turned out Zelrius was a friend of Clarence, but they didn't have time for chit-chat as the near jail guards sought the benevolent red crystals that turned in the Laughing Coffin. And to top it off, Zelrius' fox familiar Miles came up missing in the frantic moment.

After that, Garou met with a field boss in the craggy slopes of Floor 2 called Mountain Shell. With the assistance of Zauis, a high-level player who happened to be in the area, Garou successfully defeated the powerful monster and began to learn his true potential in battle, unleashing his first Fang. Garou got tired of Floor 2 and set off for the dungeon. Instead he found a boulder blocking the way. Garou met Keith once more, who became a sort of little brother to him. They looked for a way to break the rock and ended up learning martial arts by eating an enormous sweet roll. Hilariously, the very next day Lightfyr found a boulder in the exact same location. Garou and Rage both helped her cross through it.

The boy, who had earned the title of The Chained Werewolf after his savage combat and acrobatic reflexes, received a message from the Martial Arts Master that gave him the sweet roll. Garou journeyed up an immense mountain, running into several enemies along the way.

Garou decided to form a guild with Clarence after what they faced on Floor 2, to end the player killing phenomenon. Sonus Silentii was its name. The boy left to recruit members back at the Starting City, finding Shanok extremely quickly.
