HISTORY

Julius Drexel grew up in a close-knit family in a small town, the eldest of three siblings. His childhood was filled with laughter, joy, and the thrill of gaming. He was a talented player, participating in epic adventures with his friends, either in the fields near his town or in virtual worlds. However, everything changed when his father passed away unexpectedly, leaving the family in a financial crisis.

Soon after, his mother fell ill, and Julius had to set aside his dreams and gaming hobbies to take on a job at a local store branch. He worked tirelessly, sacrificing his own passions to support his family. Over the years, his dedication paid off, and he was eventually promoted to manage a main branch in a nearby city. This position allowed him to better provide for his family, but it also meant moving away from home, leaving behind his siblings and his mother, who was now on the mend.

Years later, Julius received news that his mother was finally recovering and that his siblings had gained financial independence. They called him one day with exciting news: they were ready to take care of their mother, urging him to take it easy and focus on his own happiness. This heartwarming conversation reignited a spark of hope within Julius. By chance, while walking past a video game store, he felt a mixture of nostalgia and curiosity and decided to explore it. In the store, he discovered the acclaimed game Sword Art Online, the same one he had heard so much about

As he navigated the first floor of Aincrad, Julius found just a sense of freedom he thought he had lost. But this was before the harsh reality of being trapped in the game was announced which devastated him. The realization that his life was at stake, and that failure could mean permanent death, weighed heavily on him for several months. 

However, rumors began to spread of other players successfully advancing through the deadly game, reaching higher floors and defeating powerful bosses. This news lit a fire in Julius. Seeing others take control of their fate inspired him to finally stop hiding in fear and start his own journey toward the upper floors. Determined to survive, he made a vow to face the challenges so he could carve out his own path to freedom.

 

VIRTUES AND FLAWS

Spoiler

VIRTUES

1. Focused: Julius always had an innate ability to concentrate on whatever task or objecive put his mind to without getting distracted easily. In his youth, this allowed him to quickly learn the video games he and his friends could get, and in his adolescence, it helped him learn the ropes of the store he worked at. Now, with his new goal of overcoming each and every floor, no challenge will stop him.
2. Responsible: After the departure of his father and the subsequent illness of his mother, Julius developed a strong sense of responsibility for those in his care. Initially, this was directed toward his siblings, as he stepped into a protective role by ensuring their well-being, and later on, it extended to any colleague he was grouped with. And even in this new environment, he will continue to extend it to any comrade he encounters on his journey.
3. Realistic: Julius possesses a pragmatic approach to life, characterized by his ability to assess situations objectively and make sound decisions based on facts rather than emotions. He understands the complexities of the world and is not easily swayed by wishful thinking. Julius's grounded perspective will help him remain calm in stressful situations, making him a reliable source of support for friends and allies alike.

FLAWS

1. Pessimistic: While Julius can be pragmatic, the hardships he endured in his youth made him develope a pessimistic view of the world, causing him to focus excessively on potential pitfalls and worst-case scenarios. He tends to double-think whenever high risks are involved in his decisions, often leading to overanalysis and hesitation. Although his caution can be seen as a form of protection, it often prevents him from fully engaging in experiences and making high-risk decisions that could endanger his life or that of his allies.
2. Critical: His strong sense of responsibility, shaped by his experiences in his job, may lead him to be critical of others in leadership positions, as he holds them to the same high standards he set for himself. However, he tends to show more understanding and leeway toward those who are learning and do not carry the same burdens. While he is able to work alongside others toward a common goal, Julius can't help but continually evaluate their decisions to determine what options might be better
3. Regretful: Julius carries a heavy burden of regret, shaped by the difficult choices he faced during his youth. While he made these sacrifices out of love and duty, they left him with a lingering sense of loss for the life he might have led. This regret, deepened by the months he lost to depression, often leads him to dwell on the different choices he could have made throughout the various challenges and struggles in this new virtual reality.
