About Me

Justin was blessed as a sports enthusiast throughout his education, quite literally calling the locker rooms his home away from home. Having started out in middle school as a center midfield on the school's soccer team, which won once and ranked in the top five for his district over the three years that he was a member, he quickly gained attention from his peers. His name might have sparked on the field, but school was where his popularity truly began to bloom. He would break from what was once his usual crowd, a bunch of no names that enjoyed playing board games and watching cartoon marathons on the weekends. He would slowly lose the "innocence" that his mother and father had so lovingly instilled into him, emerging from such with a rather narcissistic demeanor. He began to see himself as better than others; more handsome, skilled, and well off than everyone else. It only got worse as he went into high school, where he took center stage on the field and shared none of the glory with his team. He was the V.I.P. and the only reason they stood a chance or so he claimed, though they didn't argue with the fact he was good. However, his attitude and respect towards the rest of his team was utterly shitty. It had been no more than six weeks before a teammate, one of his childhood friends, had scored the winning goal and Justin totally shot him down. The kid had broken completely down, not showing his face all week in school, until the principle had directly intervened. Justin was banned from the soccer team, suspended from school for a week himself, and was made the joke of the school for the next month. A nickname even spread around, "Just Brutal," one that he hated with a passion.

 

To say the least, Justin was pissed. All this time, he thought that he had carried the team, made them what they were, the superstars of the district. Now, he had no source of power, simply what popularity he maintained after the case of bullying that the majority of the school had heard about. His freshman year of highschool had been crushed, simply a time in which he skipped school and watched those around him live on like Justin was a name of a legend that once was - a hasbeen... a one hit wonder. He barely made it through the school year with passing grades, having to make a few of the classes up during summer break, but he had a plan. Surely, he wasn't meant to lose everything here. He was far greater than that, he was a legend. He brought his grades back up, peaking over that 2.5 GPA that was required by the majority of sports teams. Sophomore year hit and signups for clubs and sports were opened up, though this year, the words escaping every student's mouth wasn't that of the soccer team. No, it was when he approached the football table that a collective gasp was heard. Flames rose high as students informed their teachers and parents, a well-known bully that had been banned from the soccer team had once again tried to join a sports team. Social media was cluttered with raging adults, humored students, and a variety of trolls. When it came down to the first week of practice, the principle finally made a decision, stating that, "I have no reason to enact a punishment upon this student; he's served his suspension, is not going to be joining the soccer team, and with a sincere heart, hope that he's changed paths. If he displays any form of harassment upon my students again, he will undergo an ultimatum. Until such an event occurs, let the kids play."

 

Justin was benched for most of the practice games, obviously on the wrong side of the majority of players and especially the coach. He had played a few times as a wide receiver, showing that all of his soccer training had not gone to waste. He was a fast bastard, outrunning any of the other members of the team, but they had all shunned him. It wasn't until two weeks in that he got his big break, the wide receiver playing had taken a bad tackle by the cornerback, suffering an ACL tear that would take him out of the season. Justin could care less about the downed ally, it was his time to shine. He took to the field, giving the team one of the best WR that they could have asked for. While there was certainly no way that he could win back the hearts of most of those that had already made up their mind about him, he certainly would gain back his popularity as the all around talented jocks of the school. His popularity that he had missed from the middle school years was finally returning, something that he felt he had deserved all of last year. Those that "were" his friends until the incident last year began to approach him again, not feeling that hanging around him would bring shame upon their own name. By the end of the season, he was better off than he originally was, even if called out every now and then by an upset parent or student. Junior and Senior year flew by as he took on the role of Fullback, allowing himself and the team a bit more flexibility in their plays, including a district win his junior year. However, in the quarter finals of the district tourney, he got his just desserts as a bad tackle would take him off the field. Suffering from a fractured vertebrae, he was paralyzed from the waist down for eighteen months. Of course, he was offered the opportunity to continue schooling during his hospitalization and his temporary leave of absence from school, which he took in stride. He would graduate, attend graduation in a wheelchair pushed by his best friend, and would sign up for college the next year. A little into it, he began to make some great progress in his ability to walk, taking two months before he could walk again with a cane, but he made the most of it. Sure he didn't play into sports anymore, but the parties was where it was at. Well, that was before he called dibs on being the first to try out Sword Art Online at a friend's place. Now, he's in a world where nobody even knows his name, much less his legacy. How does one start out when they have nothing?

 

 

Virtues

» Practical
» » He isn't much of an idealist, having faith in obtainable goals. He knows the impossible surely isn't possible and, if that is what one is trying to avoid, they'll never reach such a standard. Why, then he would ask, would anybody dare to struggle for such a pointless achievement? The only way to get anywhere is by doing something within reason? Shoot for the stars? No way in hell. First, get your ass off the chair and get your feet off the ground. Then, work your way up to the heavens. Just know you'll likely die getting there.

 

» Team Oriented
» » No man is as strong as ten men working together, a message that took Justin many years to learn. While he might have been reliable and better than the others, as he would make note of, he couldn't have defeated other teams on his own. It'd be nothing more than a miserable game of keep away and constant scoring, a shameful experience that he'd likely walk out on.

 

» Reliable
» » While he tends to stay in the spotlight, he knows that not everything is always about him. If someone is in distress, whether that means they're in trouble with an ex or in for a pounding for owing a dude some cash from a few weeks back, he'll jump in with little hesitation. He's learned the hard way that it's tough not having someone to be there for you and he much rather have someone that'll watch his own back, which means he usually has to hide his narcissism whenever he can.


Flaws

» Narcissist
» » He's maintained some of his overbearing narcissism from his younger years, though he's mostly lost the rotten portion of it. While he doesn't actively point out why he's so much better than everyone else, he often thinks about these things. Very rarely will he make an audible note about it unless it's with a complete group of strangers or those that know Justin for how he actually is, but the lingering effect can be noticed if one is paying attention to the way he looks at others.

 

» Arrogant
» » He's certain of himself to a dangerous point, much too cocky for someone so young. While a large percentage of his self pride is born from his narcissism, a lot of it is due from good grace. He's excelled at the primary activities he devoted his time to in the real world, why wouldn't someone of his capability be a bit too proud about such superiority and skill? "Duh."

 

» Fused
» » Justin's got a fuse that isn't too short, but it certainly isn't long. If something isn't going his way or is blocking him from getting what he wants, he will spark like a match and explode like a stick of dynamite. It's highly suggested to keep out of his way during these times of ignition, whether you're on his good side or otherwise. While it didn't often last long in the real world and usually consisted of a multitude of insults or a few punches, he's equipped with a full arsenal in this virtual reality.
