History:

Sora was born in Tokyo, Japan, after his mother had an affair. After a long drawn out argument between his mother, her actual husband, and the bad timed arrival of his father, his mother, Akiko Asahi, alone with a baby coming in several months. She was in a very tough place and considered aborting Sora, just to get rid of one problem that existed in her life, but realized it went against what she believed; all life had the right to try to live. She pulled herself together and got help from her sister Saya to stay afloat while she looked for employment to be able to raise her son. Eventually, she found a job in developing technology. She worked out how she would raise Sora, and eventually, the day came. Sora came out quite peacefully, giving no trouble to anyone. He lived out his early years learning mostly, saying his first word at 8 months old. Crow loved knowing things. He focused all his time on school and pushed all of his learning into technology. He was very interested in pushing the limits of technology. He also enjoyed playing video games. Especially strategy games. He loved games of war. Something revolutionized the way he played games, NerveGear. He bought his rig almost immediately after he heard about it, and started playing a lot of games of war actually serving as the king. This helped him develop confidence, however he was still antisocial, and often avoided going outside. He always had a knack for knowing what people were thinking, a result of being an observer. He was always picked on for never really standing out. He never fought back either. He was utterly alone and never even truly opened up to his mother. His life at school was bad, and he shut himself off further and further from the world, and his mother was worried. She made him talk with a therapist, and after observing the tricks they used, realized exactly what he could do. He would manipulate the people who tried to beat him and make friends. He didn't open to the therapists at all. He simply planned and took what he knew of the bullies. He thought it over and knew what to do. The next day, he did his usual act of the observer, and waited for one of the people who hated him to try to attack him. What he got that day was unexpected, one of the girls he knew took him by the shoulder and he was pushed against a wall. It was one of the popular girls and she was crazy for him. His heart sunk as he realized that there was no one else around. She had him cornered in the girl's bathroom and she was blocking the door. Fear filled him. Something in him finally snapped. His mind went into overdrive. He began talking as quickly as he could to disarm the girl. The girl were taken aback by what he said, he knew just about everything she knew about herself and she didn't know what to do. Using his cold reading, he was able to read her thoughts enough to get her in a very vulnerable position. Once he was sure he'd unwound her composure, he went in to seal the deal. "So, what could you do now? I know all of your secrets, I can read your mind like an open book, and I've cornered you. You were about to do a depraved action and I easily took hold of your mind. So I ask again, what could you do?" Their eyes looked into his, and their eyes showed a plea for mercy. His own eyes opened up wide as he realized what he had just done. His mind had been taken by fear, and he lost control. He was horrified by his unknown dark side, realizing the result of his pent up anger. His mind was going a mile a minute, taking in all that had just happened. He shook his head to clear it, and made up his mind. "Listen... Thinking about this, I realize how stupid I just was. So do you maybe want to..." He put his hand forward, doing something he'd never actually done. "Be friends?" The girl looked at him and at his outstretched hand. She took it in her own and smiled, realizing that he was truly regretful. "Eyes don't lie," She thought. Suddenly, a teacher came into the bathroom. Sora looked back quickly and ran. "No, wait!" He didn't even here her, he swerved though the halls and shot like a bullet home grabbing the door, and slamming it shut, bolting to his room. He buried his face into his pillow. He looked over at his NerveGear rig. He needed a way out of this. A way out of his own mind. He looked at his games. "Something new..." He thought. A new game was what he needed. He saw one he never played but bought in the beta, never actually playing it. He turned on the rig and put in the game. Waiting a few seconds for the rig to warm up. "Link start."

Personality:

» Virtues:

(Manipulative) Crow is the type of person who analyzes a person's mind and then tries burrowing his way into their psyche, using their mental make-up to control them. Though only an amateur, Crow possesses an ability known as Cold Reading. This basically allows him to get an idea of someone's thoughts. Using this skill, he finds people and wraps them around his finger, using them like a parasite would.

(Acting) Another part of him that allows him to get inside people's heads, being able to make friends with most people, his ability to act often entices people to like him.

(Good Hearted) While it may seem like these virtues immediately convict him of being a bad person (what with that parasite analogy and all that-WHO'S IDEA WAS THAT AGAIN? Oh. Right. Moving on!) He in fact is a good person. He uses these abilities to advance players and their potential. He truly wants to help as much as he can.

» Flaws:

Reference:

(Paranoid) Given Crow's skill set, most people would disapprove of his methods, often leading to pretty serious fights. This has given Crow a paranoid mindset of everyone against him. Being trapped in a death game has only made this worse, and in a fight, he may freeze up in action, thinking through a situation too much and throwing his mind into a frenzy of whether to move against an enemy or not.

(Clumsy) Crow almost always makes a few mistakes in an action movement unless he focuses on getting it perfect. If he makes a lot of little mistakes, they add up and bite back at him.

(Demophobia) The fear of crowds. Adding on to his paranoia of being targeted by anybody, if caught in a surging mob like a crowd, Crow will be on edge. The slightest thing like a tap on the shoulder would make him jump.
