(the second is after a solo and the subsequent redesign.)
Name of Character: Kashi
Real World Character:Michael Argnon
Age: 16 years (as of January 16th, 2011)
Class: Blademaster
Clothing: A simple long-sleeved light-blue shirt covers his torso, with the sleeves widening as they reach his hands. Silver gloves hide his hands, save for the knuckles which show through a small hole over the knuckles. He replaced his boots with small dark green running shoes, easier to fight in than the boots. A pair of silk dark-green pants complete his outfit.
Height: 5'7 and 1/2
Hair Colour: Shoulder-length dark red
Personality: Calm, can get a little frustrated at times when he is far outnumbered by foes. A quiet, if sometimes blunt, helpful person and a good group member. Not suited to leading a group as he can be a little shy, flustered or embarrassed by the other party members (even in the most innocent situations). After being constantly confused by events occurring prior to his meeting up with Magras, Kashi has a fair paranoia streak. He'll work to defend his allies however possible, whether by buffing them or taking an attack for them. While he has a fairly good patience, whenever his temper flares, he'll battle like a berserker, going for the kill more than the cripple.
Eye Colour: Green, except when Magras is out. Then it's brown.
A writing sample on how you found the world(fictional, no .hack reference):
"Michael, get up! Your friend Alan is on the phone!"
"Okay, okay Mom."
Michael slowly opened his eyes, and reached for the cordless phone. Activating it, he spoke into the vocal receiver, "Mom, I've got it."
Hearing the line close on the other phone, he said, "Okay Alan, what is it?"
The answer came in short bursts. Michael figured Alan was quite out of breath. "It's this new Virtual Reality game. You HAVE to try it out! It's called 'The World'."
"I hope this isn't another practical joke, Al," Michael warned.
"Don't worry, it isn't. You can find reviews of it on'www.ultragamer.com'."
"Okay, I'll check. Tell me where you bought it tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay. See Ya at school tomorrow."
"Bye."
Michael severed the connection, and logged on to his computer. He clicked on the web address bar, deleted the default website, and entered the Ultra Gamer one. When he entered the site, he scrolled down the New Games list, until he found The World game review link. He clicked, it, and read review after review of The World, looking at each gorgeous screenshot. Once he had to go to sleep, he was in love with The World.
The next day at school, he met with Alan at school during 6th period and homeroom classes. Alan presented him with a list of the stores that had The World in stock.
After school, Michael rushed from store to store with $100 in his pocket. It seemed that he had bad timing, for as soon as he asked if they had a copy of The World, they apologized and told him that their last copy had just been sold.
Running out of stores, Michael tried a flea market across the street from his house. When he entered the door and asked the cashier the question he had asked for an hour, the clerk replied, "We have two copies left. One is for me, but the other is a customer copy." Michael asks how much he needed to pay, she said, "Normally, it would cost $115 for such a popular new game, but for such a cute boy, I'll charge $75."
Michael asked her, "But what about the other $30?"
The cashier told him she'd for pay it. Michael paid with the $100, collected his change, picked up the game box, thanked her, and dashed home.
Michael ran to his room, and quickly installed the new game to his computer. When the installation was complete, the registration screen popped open. Michael registered, and then clicked 'Create Character' on the game menu. The customization for this game is waaay more advanced than the other games, Michael thought as he created his favourite character look. When he finally finished creating the character, he clicked 'Log In to Server', and then...
Name: Magras
Real World Name: ???
Age: ???
Class: AI(due to Kashi's character model, Blademaster)
Clothing: Magras is decked out in the same set of clothing as Kashi, being housed within the character's "mind." Therefore, they look the same. One slight difference between Magras and Kashi is that the eye colour is different. Aside from the personality quirks, this is really the only way to tell them apart.
Height: 5'7 and 1/2
Hair Colour: Shoulder-length dark red
Personality: When he is talking to Kashi(as he does for the most part), he is sarcastic, cynical, and somewhat childish, more like a class clown. This demeanor helps mask his fighting ability, which far surpassess Kashi's, even though he was the one with more experience with the character. When interacting with others, Magras reserves himself a bit so as not to let on that Kashi appears to have multiple personalities, although the sarcasm and cynicism still shines through. This may cause some to question who Kashi is, or what the hell seems to be wrong with him.
In battle, Magras will try to direct Kashi and give hiim as much aid as possible, if not decide to just completely take over altogether, which is a handy side effect of being embedded into the character data.
Weapon/Armour: Interchangeable, although he doesn't usually take the time to bother switching whatever Kashi's got on.
Skills: Interchangeable with the armour.
Background: Unknown
How he was "engraved" into Kashi's character programming: Kashi walked past the Pawn Shop one day, and Magras infested himself into Kashi's psyche, weakened due to the actions of a little while earlier, and started to talk to him(in the head, of course). It is unknown(for now) whether Magras chose Kashi for a reason, or whether he simply went after a random player of The World.
**Currently, Magras is in a limbo-esque state. He doesn't act at all.
<-------The first avvy I got made. That was my character when he was a Wavemaster, except think red hair instead of blond, no headband, darker colours and no scaly texture.
<-------Laharl. He rocks your socks.
<------- An avatar of Joshua and Neku from the opening movie of TWEWY. The text fits mainly because the world they're in literally belongs to Joshua (the one on the right), who chooses Neku to represent him in it.
<-------The World Ends With You's Neku and Beat. Neon'd and text'd out. The text reads "Kick it up, Phones!" "I'm there!", which is what they say during one of the sequences.
<-------One of the first ones I got him to do for me.
<-------One of my favourite banners that Jpec did, if only for the way that it captures Etna's attitude. I think I agree with what you said about it too, Jpec xD
<-------Banner done using Seraph Lamington from Disgaea.
<---------Really simple. Took me about ten minutes to make. One of the first ones, too.
