» About: History/personality

Forest was American, and former military, though you wouldn't know it by looking at him. Yes he kept his hair short, yes he kept his face clean-shaven, but his dress and mannerisms couldn't have been further from most early twenty year-olds in the military. He didn't like to party, instead preferring to stay in and read or binge movies rather than get sloshed at the bar. At times it created tension with those he served with but for the most part they came to understand that he treated the military like a job; he became highly proficient, dependable, punctual, and yet could still relax or slack when their was time to do so. Anything less than completing the mission was unacceptable, by digging deep and shifting things around he always found a way to get things accomplished. It's that fact that he was promoted to a leadership position six months early, and then picked up the next leadership position a year earlier. Those two things he was proud of, the killing, now he was not so proud of that, but it came with 'the job'. On the other hand, so did protecting those he served with. 

 

When he was coming up through the ranks, being screamed at was a regular part of training. Even after the initial training, you would still see people being screamed at for failures. Forest was lucky, if he had a leader who screamed at him he would have Judo tossed him to oblivion, but lucky for Artemis's military career, and his leader, Forest ended up with the one or two squad leaders who also didn't enjoy yelling at their subordinates. It later had a major impact on Forest's leadership style, he could see the differences in the abilities of those who spent the past three years being screamed at, and those who spent the past three years learning. When he became a squad leader it was clear, he would mentor those around him focusing on their learning from their mistakes, not being ridiculed for making them.

 

Now it's been a little over six years since he first joined, despite a promising career a few months ago he actually decided to get out at his six year mark(for all the reasons you get out of the military), and has decided to find out what he 'wants to do with his life'. Maybe writing, maybe engineering, but probably Mixed Martial Arts, he's always had a talent for fighting with his hands, appreciating the technical skill and training it requires.

 

Luckily he has some money saved up and has decided to spend time in Japan studying at the Kodokan and training in the area. He paid his rent for a year, with intentions of training, taking online college courses, and just enjoying not having to worry about IED's, demo ranges, disciplinary issues, or being the 'acting NCO in charge'; he's finally ready to not be constantly ready to deploy. This really is his first 'vacation' in six years. 

 

Having heard about a great new game coming out, Sword Art Online, that will be using what's spouted as 2nd Generation FullDive Technology, Forest couldn't resist taking a chance at playing from Day 1. He has always been a bit of an obsessive when it comes to competition and this was no different. As he ran through the setup menu and chose a name, picked a face, he could feel excitement in the back of his mind. THIS was going to be something. He was always a bit excitable as a Platoon Sergeant, especially before a big 'op'. Now he could feel his excitement meshing with his competitive edge. This is going to be good he thought, as he laid down with the NerveGear he heard faintly; "LINK START!!"

» Virtues:

 

Conviction. It matters not what decision is made, even when it may be the wrong one, what matters is the amount of conviction you pursue your decision with once you have made up your mind.

 

Love. Inspired by deep loyalty to the cause of protecting those around him. In Reu's eyes an attack on someone he loves would be equivalent to an attack on himself.

 

Charisma - Sociable, kind, pleasant-to-be-around; by having spent time in several different parts of the world, and with the rich and the poor Reu has become more then capable of interacting openly with those of varied backgrounds whether it's in a ball-room or a back-alley.

 

Good Temper - The virtue of self-control regarding anger. Calm. Reu isn't 18, or 19 anymore. He's older, been in places and situations he wishes most people would never see, through these experiences he has gained a calmness of inner self, especially during what would normally be stressful situations.

» Flaws:

Obstinacy - stubbornly adhering to an opinion, purpose, or course. Driven by his cause to clear the game, little else matters in the long run. Going back to his strong sense of conviction, once a decision is made; it takes time to re-think a decision, in Reu's mind, time spent thinking and re-thinking decisions is wasted; he feels it's better to make up your mind and pursue that goal with intensity. Reflection on your decisions should be performed much later, after the mission has been completed.

 

Recklessness - May lack thought about immediate danger. Despite being a meticulous pre-planner, if a sudden change is presented during the course of a mission, Reu prefers action to deliberation. One of his favorite sayings is "Sometimes you just have to make a hasty, risky decision, diving in feet first."

 

Overprotective - Driven by a desire to clear the game and protect others, at times this desire is overwhelming emotionally. Carrying the world on ones shoulders can be very burdensome, and Reu has carried the world on his shoulder in both Virtual Life and Real Life for the past several years.

 

Rebellious- Defying or resisting some established authority, government, or tradition; inclined to rebel. He's seen organizations that have pursued their own ambitions at the expense of others, he's seen people be burned by governments pursuing profit, he no longer believes in trusting these institutions. He may work with these institutions as long as he sees a mutual goal, but trust is hard earned, and even within an organization, it's one thing to work with a group of people, it's another thing entirely to work with specific individuals. If an individual is pushing their own motives over the mutual goal, Reu may just 'push back' against that individual. He also has a slight twinge against being ordered around, it's one thing to ask, or to show why working together may be beneficial, it's another thing entirely to issue an order.

Story Thus Far (optional)

» "This ends the tutorial for the official Sword Art Online Launch. Good luck, players." and with that the red-hooded man disappeared from the town square, and the sky returned to its' normal shades of blue.

 

Reusririasuir pulled up his touch-menu and confirmed for himself, there really was no logout option. It looks like the only way to get out of this game is to beat it, and if I'm going to do that I need to start by getting a lot stronger. Reu turned from the square and moved back into town. On his way out, he could already begin hearing other players attempting to keep order and establish a hierarchy among themselves. Order & possibly a guild will be necessary later, for now, forging my own strength is going to be most important. Reu could see other players moving towards the outskirts of town. Heh, they all know the truth; that the early levels and getting ahead quickly are going to be the most important. Well I guess I can't complain too loudly, I did after all, want a game where I could lose myself and become someone else. It's time to get serious now, there are going to be people in that square who can't fight, and even in the early levels, those people will need your help Reu. Not by offering direct help, but by becoming stronger you can help to clear this game. His fingers edging the hilt of his sword Reu steeled his resolve. I CAN clear this game, and I WILL survive. Now...I'm going to need a sharper sword; and...if I find one, an even sharper partner...
