About: History/personality

Having spent most of his life in or dealing with the military and a structured lifestyle, when Bjorn ETS’d out he had to adapt to life outside of that structure. He attended college, and found the most challenging part to be watching his language. He found the time he spent there to be one more of aimlessness, with no real goal other than good grades and graduation, which seemed to require little effort for the man. He turned his attention to video games, something he had dabbled in over the years, but never taken a large interest in. With the release of SAO being the first VRMMO, something that was still in his mind science fiction, he decided to join and try it out, after all, something like the VR promised for so long in television and movies was something that he found hard to pass up.

 

It is very easy to see that Bjorn was in the military, if one has experience in dealing with it. The way he stands, where he puts the emphasis on his words, the way he clips his words, how he addresses others and his way of walking, closer to marching at nearly all times. His bearing, screams long term military experience.

 

Virtues:

 

|| Athletic ||

Bjorn has to keep himself physically fit, as such he tends to be more athletic than others. With a daily routine of running stairs, flipping tires, farmer's carries and the like he has built a combination of fitness and strength that he is able to rely upon in any situation. Of course, the adjustment to being much weaker in the game has left him with some difficulties, though he hopes to overcome them in time, as his avatar is strengthened. If it doesn’t, this is likely to cause problems.

 

|| Courageous ||

 

Outside of Sword Art Online, Bjorn has had to deal with the horrors of a soldier's life, survivors guilt and adjusting back to the normal life of a civilian. As such he is able to bring forth the courage that served him well and take any action he deems necessary for his own survival, even despite it seeming that the world is dead set against him. He doesn't place a great deal of emphasis on faith, or dwelling on the negative consequences of his actions, and instead uses them to reinforce his own views. He doesn't look for the approval of others, nor does he worry about their disapproval, out of the group that was involved, few have the experience that he does, or have had to make the choices he has had to make.

 

|| Integrity ||

Bjorn holds himself to a set standard, regardless of others actions or inactions, he will not break from his way of doing things. He believes in doing things his way, a way that has been ingrained into him by his life experiences. In general this means he feels he has to help others who deserve it, protect those who he feels have earned it, share gains equally with those that earned their share, show loyalty to those that he feels deserve it, honor his word and attempt to be an example for others in his own way.

 

Flaws:

Reference: http://www.darkworldrpg.com/lore/flaws.html

 

|| Fierce ||

Bjorn has a tendency to be fierce, this is due to his history, the training and experience in the military and his old way of life. He tends to be goal driven, one should always have something they are working towards to the best of their ability, and one must always give their best. Much of the time, in various situations, he will resort to violence first, as it tends to trigger training and old events in the past.

 

|| Fixation on being physically fit||

Despite spending much of his free time gaming, Bjorn has always had a real need to stay physicaly fit and ready. As such, he could always be found by his neighbours throughout the day sprinting up and down the stairs in the apartment complex, lifting weights, doing pull ups, push ups, sit ups, crunches, and the like. With the permission of the owner, he set up a workout area in the complex, pull up bars were installed in three different sizes, large truck tires were brought in to flip, various implements for the farmers walk, and more.

|| Tactless ||

Bjorn is tactless, he doesn’t care what others think about how he deals with things or in how he speaks to others. He tends to be blunt, even when dealing with things that require finesse, viewing it as a waste of time, both of his and everyone involved. Bjorn has an issue with his language, he tends to curse a significant amount, which can be off putting to others. His military experience has caused him to have little concern for the niceties.
