Real Life Name: Fuuken Zekken / 風剣 ゼッケン
In-Game Name: Smith Black
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Appearance:
He can often be seen either in his shop, or out in the field, wearing a beanie/bandanna to cover his bald head.
He often wears a hammer on the belt, and wears a sash holding a variety of other tools.
He often goes around in a plain shirt with minimal armour, but in colder climates will put on more armour against the cold. He also tends to wear gauntlets when working or out in the field, but in other times will take them off when unneeded. When working in the shop, he will don a heavy-duty apron when necessary.
His boots, custom made by himself, are made entirely of light metal. And they are really heavy. But they're highly impractical in normal combat.
Personality (More than four coherent sentences):
A man with an innovative mind and some leadership abilities, he is easygoing and hardworking, creating weapons and equipment for the many players of SAO.
Although in the real world he was the co-owner of a small shop, he had plans for expansion, a carefully planned business venture that would come with a certain amount of risk, but would be worth the move; thus displaying his ability to reason and take chances that others wouldn't.
In essence, he is a risk taker, and will calculate whether a risk is worth taking.
Often a solo player, he keeps to his various shops, moving as the front lines move forward.
He also has a fear of pets.
Bio (More than four coherent sentences):
A mechanic and engineer in real life, it's no wonder that he chose to pursue the vocation of a blacksmith within the world of Sword Art Online.
Before being trapped in the game, he ran a combination robot and motor vehicle repair shop along the edges of Tokyo. A single man, he co-runs the place with a small team of two other business partners, who after the incident managed to keep the shop going without him. However, they're always waiting for the day that he returns home from the game alive.
Initially starting out with gaming experience from almost a decade ago, he was able to acclimatize somewhat to the realm of SAO. However, having never experienced virtual reality, he chose to stay safe within the confines of the starting city, before moving on to the higher floors, offering his services to those that asked.
After losing the bid to a certain water mill now owned by a competing blacksmith, he set up shop as a nomad, renting various spaces to practice his craft and support the front lines. Actively near the front lines, he has had the chance to hone his skills, mastering them much faster than any other competitor ever would.
Currently, he resides on the 55th floor, the current front lines of SAO.
