The dawn of the Nervegear was seen as a massive breakthrough in gaming by many people. While the system had a few games that stood out, there was one that many people had anxiously awaited: Sword Art Online. The game was sold out nearly instantly upon release, and thousands of gamers were finally given the opportunity to play the game they'd waited a long time for. However... There was a cost. They learned that there was no way to log out of the game. After two years, a hero named Kirito saved the world of SAO... However, what would happen if he hadn't been there to save them? What if not even Kayaba Akihiko, the creator of SAO, had intended for the game to turn out this way...?
For those reading along, this is basically an alternate reality type of story. Woo.
In-game name: Keimei
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance: Keimei has long red hair. When in the fields, or in other areas that could require her to fight, she wears a red, long sleeved shirt, with a steel breastplate over it, along with a black skirt. When she's not out working, she usually wears a blue tank top with a white skirt.
Skills: Keimei's main skills are dual wielding, cooking, and one-handed straight sword.
Bio: In the real world, Keimei was a social high school student. When she was 15, one of her friends got her into MMO's, and she quickly became a huge fan of them. While her friends weren't able to get SAO, she got it on the first day, promising to play with them when they were able to get their own copies. However, she wasn't expecting to be trapped in the game. She hoped to be able to join or form a guild, and believed that the only way to survive was through cooperation and teamwork. In the real world, she also enjoyed cooking, a pastime which she used to her advantage in SAO.
Personality: Keimei is incredibly social, and quick to make friends. She tends to be very trusting in others, to a very extreme level. She becomes very attached to the friends she has, and tries to stick by them no matter what.
Keimei was in a complete panic. Day one of SAO, and some hacker had gathered her and all other players to the town square, to greet them with a haunting message...
"Hello, players of Sword Art Online. I have taken this world now. You have probably noticed by now that you're not able to log out. I am the one behind this. I have stolen the reigns of this world from Kayaba Akihiko, and have made it my own. If you wish for freedom, you must climb to the one hundredth floor of the castle Aincrad, and defeat the final boss. Then, I will allow you to go as you please. Also... if you are to die in-game, the Nervegear will fry your brain, killing you in the real world. Good luck... With that short, vague message, he had vanished.
"I need to find someone to team up with..." She ran through the streets, trying to compose herself. She was nearly in tears, but barely managed to stay strong. I can't die... Not like this...
