ROLEPLAY OF THE WEEK
Spoiler: Backstory
The Nerve Gear, a virtual reality helmet that stimulates the user’s five senses via their brain, players can experience and control their in-game characters with their minds. With it comes a whole new area of gaming (VRMMORPG).
Sword Art Online, another world, a place to escape, open for imagination. Sword Art Online is a game where each of the players has set skills that they need to level up. The ultimate objective of the game is to clear each of the 100 floors of the game's tower, defeating a boss on each level.
Being such a popular game meant that there were limited spaces and only 10,000 copies of the game were released. On November 6, 2022, all the players log in for the first time, and subsequently discover that they are unable to log out, because the log out button has been removed.
When Kayaba Akihiko, the creator of SAO, informs the players that the only way they can log out is if they complete the game and that if they die in the game they die in real life, the game is in hysteria.
But against all odds some players decide to form a party and clear the floors as a team.

Spoiler: Anya Silverfang
Name: Sylvie DuCharme
Username: Anya Silverfang
Gender: Female
Age: 31
Class: Swordsman
Personality: Content with her life, happily married and having birthed her two little stars, Sylvie is not lacking. An easy smile can nearly always be found on her face and she radiates a noticeable motherly vibe. A soothing word here, a comforting gesture there, motherhood really rubbed off on her personality. Not that she doesn't have headstrong moments or is unable to be angry, but she has learned to temper her more extreme emotions with patience and understanding. Easy to get along with, she's not hard to befriend and will keep that friendship close to heart. Years of analytical work and school has left Sylvie with an orderly mindset, a good sense of priorities and planning that she applies to any task at hand
With the current crisis preventing everyone from logging off until the game is completed, she eventually calmed down enough to realize that grouping up and marching as a force would be the best chance of everyone surviving. Able to take the lead and show initiative, she sets out to do just that.
Background: Married and mother of two, Sylvie is currently a house wife, leaving behind a banking job to handle her young children. Having more and more time to herself over the last years, as her children grew older and started looking after themselves (aged nine and seven respectively), Sylvie has managed to return to her old video game hobby. When SAO launched, she went to get a copy early. While her children could play games more fitting with their ages and hog the television with older game consoles, mommy would play a game comfortably on her own bed instead and enjoy some me-time.
Upon logging and learning that logging out was impossible, Sylvie at first panicked, she had children waiting for her home! But she shook herself back into a semblance of composure. Games these days are much easier than old-school games! How hard can it really be to finish this one? Gathering a few people and blitzing ahead, they could finish this before anything really bad happened in real life, right?

Spoiler: Player Kills (PK)Player Kills are seen as a major crime in the world of sword art. In any other circumstances PK's would be fine but with the threat of death in the real world they are practically murder.
When inside a safe zone it is impossible to die unless you die during a duel. To duel a player it requires the other person to accept the duel so players are normally safe in safe zones. However sleep PK's are a different matter. Sleep PKing is a bug that allows players to duel a person while they are sleeping. By using the sleeping persons hand the killer is able to accept the dual and then kill them while they are sleeping. This is the height of all crimes in SAO and if you are caught sleep PKing by anyone you can be jailed depending on the circumstances.
Feel free to ask me all you want. All characters must be approved by me. IC will be up when I deem it fit.
