Thread: A New Life (Sword Art Online-based RP) [Yuna & Malin's 1x1]

Suki Kimura Online UserName Tsukihime The light buzzing and humming of Suki's cell phone had been what woke her up. Yes, the cell phone ... not the doorbell. When she was genuinely tired, she could sleep through almost anything. But maybe it was the fact that few people had her number whereas the use of her front door could have just been some prankster. Her cell? Not as likely. A light groan passed her lips as she sat up in her bed, rubbing the sleep away from her eyes as she flipped the screen open. Your package for ... Stopping in mid-sentence, Suki almost instantly felt wide awake as the rest of the words reflected in her eyes. Without a second thought, she rose to her feet and darted to her door. Sure enough, said package was indeed there, awaiting for her. And she knew that inside was what she'd been awaiting to obtain for several months now. An MMO -- but not just any. It was more like virtual reality. Slip a visor on and you could be inside the game you play! Setting her cell phone down, she carefully grasped the box then began pulling it into her room, using her foot to close the door again. Ugh, thank gods that at least this is a damn efficiency and nothing overly huge ... Because of that, it didn't take quite as long to get the VLG into her room. Using a switchblade - something she had hidden away in her room as break ins were sometimes common in the area she resided in - she flipped it open and began working on giving herself access to the device. Suki had read the online instructions over the past weeks and already knew what to do. And now .. here it was. The visor that would allow her to change her life, completely. All the drama and crap like that ... she wouldn't have to endure it again, or so she hoped. As far as Suki was concerned, she had little to no life at all. She'd hated it for years, loving at most the ability to learn at school. But she'd never had any real friends, her parents had died when she was a young age, her guardians had been pricks ... it made her wearily sigh. Her left hand lightly clasped around one of the last gifts given to her by her mom a pendant and lightly squeezed it as she thought about them. She was doing what was correct ... wasn't she? So why did Suki suddenly feel hesitant? She swallowed softly, glancing down at the visor again. ... What more do you have to lose? She murmured softly. This is what you've been waiting for anyways, yes? So ... But before she logged herself in, another thought came to Suki. It'd likely be wise to change into ... something that wasn't a nightgown. Setting the visor down upon her bed, she pulled her pajamas off, grabbing a new pair of panties, bra, pair of denim jeans and comfortable tank top. Nothing was supposed to happen to her body but on the off-chance that wasn't true -- she didn't want to be in such a vulnerable state. Her body shook slightly as she lied down on her bed, upon her back. Semi-shaking hands took the VLG and slowly slid it over her eyes, gently pushing the ON button to activate the device. Still, despite her anxieties Suki couldn't help but smile. After entering her username and password, she saw the character creation. Another nervous swallow left but this time she exhaled deeply to keep herself calm. The name part had been easy, she'd thought of that for quite a while. It was filled in with a simple and yet elegant name all the same Tsukihime, literally translated as 'Moon Princess'. It was a popular name, even used as one for another anime but she referred to herself and her love for the night over the day. Scrolling carefully over the classes, Suki had a few that she'd contemplated on. A Templar wouldn't be too bad, especially since they could heal. Even the Blade Singer had gotten her attention for a while. But in the end, she decided on the Shadow the thief or assassin more or less. She'd done a few similar characters in other MMOs before and thoroughly loved them. She assumed stealth would exist here .. or even if not, the speed that came with the class should. And with the latter racing through her head, Suki had a theory on how to do this well enough. Sometimes it's not having an overly stronger character which can give one the best head start but faster. And hell, rogues were actually really good with DPS. Most basic quests gave potions real fast so even if she tried to solo a few dungeons and such ... she should live. That, of course, was the easy part of Suki. Now she had to choose her appearance. Hm ... nothing exactly like the real me ... She inwardly mused. As much as Suki loved her actual body, it'd be ... nerve-wracking for complete online strangers to figure out she was a raven-haired teenager with blue eyes. The eyes she kept, albeit not nearly as bright as her real ones. The hair, though, was a bright blonde hue, more along the lines of 'champagne blonde' to be exact. It was also a hell of a lot shorter than she'd like but none of the 'long' hairstyles had gotten her attention much. They seemed like they tried a tad too hard so she'd gone for something less complex. But what had been most unique on her choice of hair wasn't the length or color but rather it's style. It was incredibly wild and untamed, seeming to blind her vision. But in a way ... this was a good thing. It would give the 'mysterious yet beautiful' look about her. And that was definitely what she was aiming for. After all, assassin-like characters weren't meant to easily reveal themselves, right? What better way than to keep people guessing? A nervous but genuine smile crossed her lips as another gentle exhale from her nose and swallow left. Well ... that's it. Reaching a finger slowly up, she hit the Log In button and closed her eyes behind the visor. By the time they opened again, she'd be in Sword Art Online. Suki was incredibly nervous .. but so very excited all the same. Her eyes slowly opened, adjusting to see what now was before them ...
