MATTERSON, NATHANIEl

Nathaniel Matterson or Naki

21

Male

Japan

Nakioura is a fairly tall and fit individual. He isn't too built, but has a nice set of muscles. He is generally 5' 10'' without shoes, and weighs about a 150 pounds. He had short curt blonde hair which he generally keeps very messy and has deep green eyes. When starting the game he gave himself a birthmark that he found in an old game he used to play which rest on his left cheek.

He generally wears normal tunics and long pants, but does have a tendency to don light armor and sometimes even a cloak or two to keep him warm in the cold nights. He wears what's comfortable and doesn't really care for fashion. He just needs something to cover his bum so he looks like a fine individual.

This sword art is triggered by the player placing the sword in a horizontal position with their other hand against the blade in a sort of defensive manner. The blade will then glow a distinct red color as the move initiates. The special to this move allows the blades reach to be made longer and gives a single strike across vertically using much more power than speed.

This sword art is triggered by the player rushing forward with the sword pointed off to one side as if gaining strength for a strike. The blade will then glow a light blue and the move will create a strong horizontal slash capable of attacking multiple enemies at once with a sweeping ability.

Postivie
Loyal - Naki is the kind of guy that when he is your friend it is hard for him to let you down or let you go. He will stand by you whenever he can, just as long as your reasons and ideals match with his. He supports in every way he can.

Headstrong - Although there are a lot of troubles ahead Nakioura is the one who tries his best to push through it. He sometimes has a way of making it out of tight situations because of quick maneuvers or thinking, but with him if there is a will there is a way.

Patient - Many a time has he spent playing RPGs before this and he was one to try and get as strong as he could so that he could fight bosses and defeat levels. He has done tedious experience milling and has dealt with angry or aggressive players and all with a quiet understanding. He has the patience to endure what is necessary.

Warm - Nakioura tries his best to be the sincerest person he knows. He doesn't like to leave others in the dark our in a bad place wether they are friend or foe. Many a time has bent over backwards to be the fire that warms the coldness of this new world.

Negative
Irrational - No one ever will tell Naki that he has a lot of sense when it comes to fight for flight reactions. Many a time will he through himself into the heat of battle or put himself into an uncanny situation because of one rushed decision. Sometimes these rushed decisions do have a way of making a useful situation, but more often than not does he deal with problems because of it.

Unlucky - Whatever the case it is, maybe in a past life he was a millionaire and raked in the riches of the world, but for some reason Lady luck does not favor Nakioura. Many a time has a well thought out plan gone sour because some small thing has to change and make it a turn for the worst. It's like he smashed a mirror in front of 4 passing black cats.

Untrusting - Although Naki is a very loyal individual and won't leave someone in the gutter he isn't really the type to give people the benefit of the doubt, at least not right away. It takes time for him to open up to an individual whether this is the case always or since he got into this death game is uncertain.

Stubborn - His unreasonable habits have made him somewhat of a stubborn person. When Naki feels like he is right then there is little sometimes people can say to prove him otherwise and even though it is hard for him sometimes to make the decisions that he does, he doesn't try to look to others to make for him

Nakioura was raised in a family just like any other. His father was an accountant for several buisness firms and his mother was a teacher at a middle school. He was actually taught by her both in class and at home.

By the time he got to middle school his over exaggerated imagination had got the better of him and Naki was constantly immersed in books and video games. He was a fairly unsocial person, but towards the end of his high school experience he met Arcelia and instantly felt attracted to her. She was such a interesting spirit that just spending time with her made his day.

Once Nakioura was out of high school he quickly enrolled into a small university where he studied film and entertainment technology hoping to become a filmmaker. It was into these first semesters in college that he and Arcelia finally got into a relationship and it wasn't long before they decided to get the game Sword Art Online.

As soon as the game started Nakioura was up and playing with Arcelia hoping to level himself up and become stronger so that he could explore new facets to this enormous and realistic world. When they discovered that they could no longer leave the game without dying Naki quickly lost the urge to play as a game and more as a new way of life. He had to push on or there would be no way out, and with Arcelia by his side it was easy for him to see them having at least a little fun along the way.
