In Case You've Forgotten
new topic posted 5.10.06
Koto here, again; it's been a while since you've heard from me, no? I know you must have missed me so much. I've missed you worshipping me…I mean; I've missed you all, too. Do to the request of a reader, I won't be saying names (Ashen Phoenix), I'll be including a special character profile chapter, for all of you silly people out there that have forgotten us.
I've been planning on doing this for a while, though. Really…honestly…fine, don't believe me if you don't want to. But I can find you…Anyway, yes, I have been planning on doing this. So why have I not? Simple, really. Because I wanted to wait until the whole talk about the hospital between Erika and Death. And if you don't know what I'm talking about…then shame on you, you haven't read and you must go back to the beginning. Koto's word is law!
Note: There is a reason there are no last names on here. What might that be? You dare to question the great and powerful Koto? Alright, I'll humor you with an answer before squashing you like bugs! Ahem, there are no last names because I don't feel like including them.
Thank you.
Erika
Real Name: Erika
Online Name: Erika (I know, it lacks creativity as I've often told her…oops, sorry for interrupting; won't happen again, I promise)
Age: 16
Appearance (IRL): She has long brown-black hair that hangs to the small of her back, accentuated by dark brown Asian-like eyes. She's also incredibly short with a round, childlike face, giving her the illusion of appearing fourteen. Although in many ways she looks Asian, she has many undeniably Caucasian qualities, including: pale skin and freckles.
Appearance (online): In 'The World,' Erika takes on a completely different appearance. In contrast to the dark hair and dark eyes she has in real life, in the game she has long white hair and light, clear blue eyes. She wears all white, which means: a short white tank-top that reveals her light blue tattooed stomach (which I never really mention in the story, but feel like I should mention it here to be as in depth as possible), and a long white skirt that drags along the ground without catching the dust.
Class: Twin Blade
History: Erika can't remember anything before three years ago, meaning from before she was thirteen. The people she lives with, currently, openly admit that they are not her parents, in fact, Erika even remembers meeting them. They found her along the side of the road and managed to legally adopt the girl. The family is well-off, and Erika knows they care about her, but they tend to smother her because, aside from the unfortunate amnesia, she also has a physical illness that is the cause of frequent visits to the hospital.
Koto
Real Name: Kotoko
Online Name: Koto (at least it's a little more creative than Erika's)
Age: 15
Appearance (IRL): I (darn it, I'm supposed to say 'she,' aren't I?) –she has short pure brown hair and pure brown eyes with no other words to describe them. Just, the perfect brown of the crayon labeled 'brown' in the box. She's also fairly tall, towering just about a head over Erika IRL. Her skin is your average Caucasian white and she's thin with long limbs.
Appearance (online): Rare though it is, Koto's appearance (that feels so odd to write) is identical to her appearance offline, albeit the drastic change in clothing and the tattoo (Ah, right; hold on, I'll get there). Her brown hair and brown eyes remain unchanged, though online there is a light yellow-orange tattoo around her left eye and running down the side of her face to her chin. She wears a black tank top with a large gold belt and baggy black pants. She also has a thin gold band wrapped around her upper arm (right).
Class: Heavy Blade/Hacker
History: Koto happens to be the one and only child of Helba the Hacker, though she would never reveal her mother's real name (too bad for all you curious suckers out there trying to get it out of me). She doesn't like to reveal too much about her real life (once again, too bad) but she will grace you with a few revelations about herself. Koto is a talented young hacker who aspires to (more than anything at the moment) surpass her mother in the art. She also has an adorable little Chihuahua who will be turning two years old in a few months (not that it has any importance to the story, I just want to brag about my little angel). Oh, did I forget to mention her incredible modesty?
Death
Real Name: Robert
Online Name: Death (once again, we are lacking in the creativity department)
Age: 17
Appearance (IRL): This guy (whose name I shall not say more than is absolutely necessary), has dark hair and dark eyes, as well as dark tanned skin. A lot like his character in the game, no? Tall and slim, but noticeably strong with a fairly feminine face and build.
Appearance (online): He still has that earlobe length, messy black hair and dark brown, almost black, eyes along with the tanned, dark skin. He's still tall and slim, and apparently strong with a fairly feminine face and build. He wears a long-sleeved black shirt that is missing the right arm to reveal the black tattoos running down his skin. He also has 'The World's' usual fairly tight pants and stomach-revealing shirt. The pants are black, of course, with red at the bottom to make it distinguishable from the black slipper-like shoes.
Class: Long Arm/Player Killer
History: This guy is the oldest of two siblings whose mother works as a nurse at the same hospital which Erika and her 'family' frequent often. In fact, the two have met a few times IRL, though the girl does not know it. So, that leaves the question of why the son of a nurse would become a Player Killer in the game. He has no reason, he's just fascinated by it, especially since it isn't real. Even if it were real, though, no one's quite sure if that would make much of a difference.
Amaya
Real Name: Naoko
Online Name: Amaya
Age: 17
Appearance (IRL): Just like in the game, this one (I will also refrain from using her name as much as possible as well) stands with a slight hunch in her back. Differences being: she has shoulder-length auburn hair and hazel eyes. Despite her lack of good posture, this one also towers at least a head above our petite heroine.
Appearance (online): This one still has that hunch when she stands, but in the game she has chin-length chocolate brown hair and chocolate brown eyes, along with your standard Caucasian white skin (like yours truly). She wears earthy colors: dull brown boots; a light brown top with long, loose sleeves; a short brown skirt and silver hoops around her neck. Her light brown tattoos climb up from her right ankle and stop about half-way to her knee.
Class: Wave Master
History: Nothing interesting, really. She was good friends with Claire even before she started playing the game and helped convince the other girl to aid in the creation of the current law-keepers of 'The World,' the Twilight Brigade.
Claire
Real Name: Estelle
Online Name: Claire
Age: 16
Appearance (IRL): Claire has long blonde hair, about the same length as Erika's hair outside the game, which essentially turns white in the summer. She has your generic Caucasian skin with a bit of a twist, a slight tan, and long slim limbs and brown eyes. She's tall, maybe an inch shorter than I am (I mean, than Koto is, since I'm supposed to be all-seeing and all-knowing).
Appearance (online): Just like in real life, she has long blonde hair, but unlike in real life, her eyes are a blue that sometimes fades to green. She wears a black corset-like shirt over a loose white collared shirt and pants with the entire work of Romeo and Juliet handwritten in different inks and styles. Her tattoo is a similar blue-green to her eyes and wraps around her wrist.
Class: Blade Master/Twilight Brigade
History: She was good friends with Amaya and was the one who convinced the other girl to join the game, who in turn convinced Claire to help the twins establish the Twilight Brigade. Yes, she is one of the leaders of the Twilight Brigade and has the power behind it to make sense of the title. She has connections with the CC Corp because of it, good for her.
Don't worry, expect a real update (meaning along the lines of what's actually going on in the story) coming up soon. Thanks for being patient with me!
