Hyoga

"I can't give up now...I've come so far"

One of the few child players involved in the SAO incident. With almost no one wanting to have him burden their party Hyoga managed to grasp the essentials of the game himself becoming an outstanding ranked player.

Appearance
True to his age Hyoga has a very childish demeanor. He has silky pale brown hair and empty looking gray eyes which conflict with his childish face. Hyoga is usually dressed in a white hooded robe with a black t shirt beneath the robe with a red sash around his waist.

Personality
Ever since being trapped in SAO Hyoga's persona has matured considerably. He understands when something means trouble and can be very quick witted and creative in difficult situations. However he still is only a 13 year old boy and doesn't always understand certain situations and does get flustered easily. People tend to try and avoid Hyoga both in real life and online due to his cold empty stare which contrasts his generally friendly demeanor.

History
Hyoga was never supposed to play SAO. The package that came in the mail was for his older brother but curiosity got the better of Hyoga which led him to this nightmare. After realizing he was trapped Hyoga tried to join many parties but all of their excuses revolved around him being to much a burden. With great luck Hyoga managed to gain a few rare items which helped him level up quickly to become the player he is today.

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

Main Equipment

 * [Platinum Dust Dagger] (One Handed Dagger)
 * An extremely light yet very sharp dagger. Although having very little range and making it difficult to block with it's light wieght and sharpness allow Hyoga to parry very effectively and allows him to utilize his Aftermath skill effictively.
 * [Moonlit Robe]
 * A unique one of a kind robe Hyoga received after clearing an Event. The robe provides Hyoga protection from status problems and gives him a boost in speed in battle. It gives a standard increase in defense but the thing that makes it stick out the most is that it partially heals Hyoga every 5 seconds seperate from the battle healing skill.

Skills

 * One handed dagger
 * Aftermath: One of the highest dagger skills. After every attack is made a luminous trail follows. For most players that is just the effects of the game but with Aftermath the luminous trail will also cut and damage. As little to no characters level up their One Handed dagger skill it is very unknown skill to be used.
 * Critical Strike: After delivering a blow to his enemy if Hyoga follows up the luminous trail left by his previous strike quickly he will deal a critical blow dealing serious damage.
 * Cross Counter: After parrying a blow Hyoga delivers 5-15 strikes of his own in quick succesion. The individual power of each strike isn't to powerful but with each strike the damage stacks up.
 * Blade Throwing
 * Hyoga throws shuriken like blades at his oppenents. Blades do little damage to an enemy aware of your presence but if it hits an enemy unaware of your presence it will do more damage.

Battle Style
Hyoga as usually a Solo player doesn't have the option to switch with a party member. So instead he relies on his quick wits and creative thinking to use hit and run tactics mixed in with parrying enemy blows taking advantage of his [Moonlit Robe]'s healing capabilities to take care of chip damage.
