Akira

"I'm sorry, I don't give out personal information online."

Akira is a solo player. She does not socialize well and is quite taciturn. Though she does aim to win, her original intent of playing Sword Art Online was to escape from reality.

Appearance
Very boyish with short hair, Akira often is mistaken for a male, and never bothers to correct people, as she does not care. She wears a black beanie over her head, and sometimes wears a hoodie over that, which tends to mask her face. Her normal attire is usually a warm zip up sweater, which she claims to wear over her armor. She has very light, short pink hair, which often even looks white.

Personality
Being taciturn, Akira does not speak much. She tries not associate herself with people, due to an event that happened in her real life, but she will form teams and join groups when necessary. She also plays the game for her own enjoyment as well, as she appreciates the facilities of Sword Art Online. On the inside, she is actually very competitive, though not many know this.

History
Akira bought the game to escape the realities of her real life, which no one knows about. When she found out she could not exit the game, she was panicked, but in a way, also relieved. Over the course of the game, she learned that she should have stood up and faced her problems, instead of running to the game world, where she could be someone else.

Plot
/*to be filled as the roleplay progresses*/

Weapon
Kusarigama: A small scythe, or sickle, called a kama attached to a long, metal chain which is then attached to a heavy weight


 * Entangling Strike: Using the weighted chain, Akira entangles her enemies, or hinders their mobility. She then charges forth with the sickle and attacks while her opponent is distracted or immobile.
 * Close Range: Using both the weight and her sickle, Akira is capable of fighting close range, using the weight as a blunt object of attack, and possibly protection, and the sickle to pierce and wound enemies. She can also use the chain to block attacks or get in the opponent's way.

Speed: Carrying around her rather heavy weapon all the time allows her to use it with relative ease, as the weight does not hinder her. With her lean stature, she has a very high mobility.
