Kyle/Synopsis

## Biography

### Background

Not much is known about Kyle's history, but at some point, he got a job at RECT Progress, where he soon became close friends with one of his co-workers, Shoji Yanai.

### Fairy Dance Arc

#### Pre-Episode 15

Eventually, Kyle got a position working in RECT Progress' VRMMO, ALfheim Online, along with Shoji. However, this was not a job as one of the game's admins, this was a job to monitor the brains of various SAO survivors, who were all being held captive by the game's admin, Nobuyuki Sugou, known in-game as Oberon, to experiment on them in the hopes of creating brainwashing technology to rule the world, a fact that Kyle did not seem to mind. He also didn't seem to mind that one of the prisoners was the CEO's daughter, Asuna Yuuki, who Sugou was holding hostage until she agreed to marry him, whether it be out of acceptance or out of brainwashing. What Kyle did mind, however, was the fact that his and Shoji's avatars in ALO were a pair of slug-like creatures, while everyone else was a fairy, something he immediately assumed was the result of Shoji's rivalry with the game's character modeler, Trisha.

One day, as Asuna's imprisonment continued, she eventually started escaping from her prison, wreaking havoc and torturing her guards and other members of staff to the point they needed therapy, Kyle included.

#### Episode 17

One day, Shoji and Kyle enter the experiment room to check on a terminal glitch. Shoji asks Kyle why their avatars are slug-like creatures while everyone else is a beautiful, majestic fairy. Kyle tells him that it's probably payback from Trisha, because Shoji keeps stealing her yogurt. Shoji tries to defend himself, stating that Trisha doesn't label her yogurt, only for Kyle to point out that Shoji never brings yogurt to work. Kyle blames his appearance on Shoji for dragging him into his conflict with Trisha, which Shoji takes offense to, thinking that Kyle should have his back. Kyle then points out that Trisha has special dietary needs, and that her yogurt is medicated, only for Shoji to admit that the medication is the best part, as it brings out the raspberry flavor. Kyle tells Shoji that it seems like he's always looking for reasons to antagonize Trisha. Shoji tries to defend himself, complaining that Trisha's always "on a high horse", but Kyle reminds him that she's in a wheelchair. Suddenly, the two hear Asuna on a call with Sean, ALO's tech support representative, and sneak up behind her.

After Shoji manages to restrain her, Asuna angrily shouts at the slugs, threatening to write her "FUDGING MEMOIRS IN [their] MOTHER'S BLOOD!". Shoji is terrified of this, due to his prior experience with Asuna, and asks Kyle what they should do, as his grip of a barking Asuna is slipping. Kyle then decides to log out and go get Sugou, as he'll know how to handle Asuna. This terrifies Shoji even more and begs Kyle not to leave him alone with the woman who has already brutalized him. Unfortunately, with no other option, Kyle logs out, reassuring Shoji that he can handle this.

Kyle manages to find Sugou, but he was too busy rescheduling his and Asuna's wedding to that very night. Kyle then logs back in to tell Shoji this, only to find that Shoji seemed to be letting Asuna go. Horrified by this possibility, Kyle reminds him that she'll kill them all if she's set free. However, Shoji claims that he was molesting Asuna. Kyle is disgusted by this claim, telling Shoji that he'll report this to the higher ups, which Shoji states is fair. Kyle then tells Shoji that he's uninvited to his son's christening, as they drag Asuna back to her cage.
