Dreiscan Berkhart

Being the type of man who goes out often to run errands for his sister, Dreiscan usually spends long hours in the sweltering heat, leading to his skin color being lightly tan. He is fairly muscular and has calloused hands from his part-time job as trainee cook. Having received complaints about his long hair in the real world, his silvery locks were cut fairly recently, roughly an hour before he full-dived into Sword Art Online. The hair that had trailed past his shoulders was shorn off by his sister. It still is somewhat long, reaching at least neck-length. His in-game appearance reflects his new appearance, although prior to the mirror being used, in a last-ditch effort to enjoy the splendor of long hair, he had set his original avatar to his preferences. After the unveiling of his true appearance though, his blue eyes have been taken from him, leaving one eye a honey-yellow and the other lighter due to slight blindness.

Resting the cross-hilt of his weapon on his shoulder, he holds his sword like a spear. Angling the sword sharply will cause the it to gradually adopt a hazy maroon glow, showing that his sword art is now in effect. Gathering his strength in his legs, he braces himself before suddenly rushing. Sometimes, when cutting the opponent from left shoulder to right hip, it may become stunned. This art is often followed up with a second blow from a fellow party member or the first of a string of attacks.

Holding his sword behind him point-away, he crooks his front arm slightly, adopting a very unorthodox and uncomfortable pose. This, however, is the stance he needs to take in order to use Neck-And-Neck. Upon activation, the edges of his sword glow a sinister red. This move is considered to be his final attack. The moment an enemy is within range, he throws his sword arm forward, his blade on the hunt for blood and edges aimed for the throat.

The moment he could walk on his own two legs, Dreiscan was forced to help out at the family restaurant. He was a burden due to his lack of hand-eye coordination. After all, he is blind in his right eye. Being born nearly blind in one eye isn't a common occurrence, however, it isn't a rare thing, as cases have been reported in the past. This handicap may seem challenging, but because he was born with it, nothing seems out of place to the youngster, nothing irritates him. The only thing that makes the child quiver with anger is the fact that his sister, a chef in training, is loathe to hand him a knife, rendering him unable to truly be apart of his family's business. Tuning out the same old shpeal about his family's love for him leading to this over-protective bs, Dreiscan simply sulks until he forgets about the injustice done to him. His time spent working is generally comprised of buying groceries and running errands.

He dropped out of high school to prove to his family that he was dead serious when he said he wanted to work for them, purposefully waiting to give them his job application after entrance exams were over. His family's reaction to the blank-faced man shuffling in through the back door with resume in hand wasn't exactly pretty. Many things were thrown and yet not a single fuck was given. However, with Remus in culinary school and their trainee chef in her place, his parents felt that it wouldn't hurt to hire their only son. Handing the nineteen year old a knife was the worst bloody mistake they could have done. His rough scars on his hands weren't badges of experience and hard-work but rather errors made whenever he misjudges the distance between his knife and the carrot. Truth be told, the chefs all train him in the backroom. Being the son of their employers, none of them stood up to him, despite his earnest desire to learn the trade. Whenever he served up slop that vaguely resembled a face crying out in agony, chefs would draw lots amongst themselves to decide who would be the unlucky one to eat it. At nineteen, he still has yet to learn everything about the real world. The chefs fearing for their jobs and babying him along with his parents and sister scolding him don't exactly help Dreiscan blossom into a fully-functioning and independent adult.

That same old treatment is going on. That silver-haired sucker and his parents don't know jack. When his sister returned and saw all the cooks had done, she continued their routine, yet this time, took it into her own hands to try and teach her younger brother a little something something about cooking. Having mastered the art of cutting, his blindness at this point in time isn't really all that noticeable anymore. Only when you approach him from his right do you really have to duck and be careful. He's constantly armed with that butcher knife you know. Despite graduating from Cutting 101, he still has a long way to go before he can truly cook. Even though his sister often makes him check back into reality, Dreiscan has high aspirations for himself, a side-effect of that mind-game his co-workers were pulling.

There really wasn't much else to his life than cooking. Whenever he returned home, before sleeping, he'd always watch television. While he may not be the most technology savvy man out there, upon seeing information about Sword Art Online, where the impossible was possible. He bought the game. Whether it was as a result of a random whim or the desire to actually be good at something, even Dreiscan himself doesn't know. All he does know is that upon entering the world, it really was unlike anything that he had experienced in his life, being a dependent city sheep. Akihiko Kayaba, honestly, didn't intimidate him. Like he did in real life with cooking, in Sword Art, the young man feels invincible. All he had to do was train right? Train as hard as he does in real life? While there may not be anybody here to help him this time, that was the first thing he set as his goal. Hopefully, he won't accidentally trip, fall, and impale himself on his sword.
