Burnett, Ishmael

[/color], never worrying too much even with the danger that his life is in playing SAO. He's very intelligent but insecure in his decision making thus he rarely voices his opinion and prefers to stay to himself. He's always known to be quite lazy, always putting things off; before being trapped in the game he'd procrastinate by playing video games, now when he procrastinated he simply sat around admiring the virtual landscape. Coincidentally he was quite adventurous and thoroughly enjoyed exploring, having little fear of what may go bump in the night. He often lacks motivation to go on such adventures though and it's times like that where he tends to move away from his lone wolf attitude and bloom into an unusually social butterfly.[/ul]

[classy=title]HISTORY[/classy]
►DESCRIBE YOUR CHILDHOOD:

Ishmael was born to an Australian native and man who had traveled to the country as a teenager from England with his family. He grew up in a fairly happy house, though both his parents worked and he was often watched by a nanny. Never seeing his parents often he found solace even as a boy in locking himself in his room and using his imagination to play endless games of fantasy, constantly turning his room into a new landscape with the blink of an eye. This continued for year until the child was about eight and his mother finally decided to stop working and stay at home with her son. It didn't do her much good though because by that time Ishmael hardly ever left his room.

The boy had taken quite a liking to the worlds of fantasy and grandeur he found in books and he enjoyed them just as much as he enjoyed making up games with his imagination. On occasion his mother was able to coerce Ishmael out of his run, but only for brief moments and usually only with the allure of some kind of snack; usually cookies or cakes, sometimes a piece of candy. Rarely did the child's father see him, he worked more often than nor and was hardly ever home when his son was awake.

►DESCRIBE YOUR TEENAGE YEARS:

Ishmael's pre-teen years were very lack luster, he spent most of his time playing in the jungles that he would hike to from his house without his parents permission. He felt a certain oneness with nature that put him at peace with everything. As he turned into a teenager though he discovered things slightly better than nature, his very exclusive group of friends stuck with him all through high school, introducing him to some of his first computer games he quickly began completely immersed in.

In no time at all he was blowing off school work to stay up all night and play games. On the rare days that he even showed up at school he always looked as if he had just woken up, which he usually had, and he was often in trouble for sleeping in class. While his friends pursued minimum wage jobs Ishmael scrounged all over the web looking for opportunities to test any kind of games he could. His failing grades and poor attitude quickly became a problem with his parents as he skated by through school, not caring in the least. Somehow he managed to graduate and while the select group of friends he had moved away for further schooling he stayed at home with his games.

►DESCRIBE YOUR ADULT YEARS:

Once Ishmael was twenty he moved out of his parents house after constant fighting and disagreement, he jumped from job to job making just enough to pay his rent usually, any leftover money was put aside specifically for any and all of his gaming needs. He had been doing this since he was just a boy and had since saved quite a large some of money, which he had already begun planning to spend. A couple years passed and he heard tell of possibly one of the greatest games of all times. He immediately took his money and painfully waited for Sword Art Online to be released.

►SWORD ART ONLINE:

As soon as Ishmael logged into SAO the first time he fell in love, he wasn't one to learn from instructions rather he taught himself through experience and quickly immersed himself in the game for hours before the shocking news was heard. He knew he had what it took to survive, but he didn't know if he had the drive. Some days were good for Ishmael and he fought well and worked hard to advance to the next floor. Other days though he would sit in inns or hang out in alleys for lack of anything better to do to pass the time. He intends to survive for as long as he can, but he won't do anything that requires too much of him unless there's a reason for it.
