Required Information

Name: Alphonse Steiner

Username: Jäger

Sex: Male

Character Level: 47

Age and Origin: 19 years old, born 22, 05, 2004. Born in Kiel, Germany. His house was near the canal and Kiel loch.

Picture Appearance:

Character Skill: Katana

Height, Weight, Body Type:188 cm tall, 90.7185 kg, swimmer build.

Equipment: Light Metal Armor, mostly gray color, styled after World War One German Army uniforms, with an almost Pickelhaube type helmet.

Character Bio: Alphonse was born in Kiel, and raised by his mother. His father was a U.S. Naval Officer who was stationed in Germany and married Alphonse's mother. His mother was a school teacher who taught english, so Al grew up bilingual. Most of his childhood was spent in north Germany, and his family vacationed in Denmark quite often. When he was 7 his father was transferred back to the US, however Alphonse and his mother stayed in Kiel. Due to aggressions in the Chinese seas, however, Al's father was transferred to Tokyo when Al was 10. Al's mother found a job teaching German in Tokyo and the family finally settled there. Alphonse learned Japanese fairly quickly, but never lost his German accent, nor his pride in being German.

In schools, Al was bullied by most of the other students for not being Japanese. He tried to learn the customs and fit in, but never really did. When he turned 14 he started a turn away from trying to appease his classmates, and stopped caring about being bullied. Instead he took up swimming, a sport he had been doing since he was fairly young. He easily became the best at his school, and soon participated in the team and swim meets. Quickly becoming the regional champion, moving on too nationals he met fierce resistance from other swimmers, and although coming in second, he still felt that he could have won.

His final year of swimming was leaving him entirely stressed out as he trained harder than he'd ever trained. His grades still held with around a A-B average, but his social life decayed into near none existence. He turned to online games as the answer to relieve his stress. Soon he heard about Sword Art Online Beta. He signed up for it, however he was denied due to the fact that too many others had already been accepted. This saddened him, but gave him the goal of becoming one of the lead players in the full SAO game. Until the week of release, he researched everything on the Beta and began to formulate how he would play. Three days before the game came out, Al went out to a local game store and got in line, with four days of food and equipment. He met Klein, who sat next to him in line. The two became friends, but lost contact after they both bought the game. Alphonse's father had to move and serve our of Japan for the year, and his mother was on a teaching trip for the next three months.

RP Example: Sylvan Academies (4,5,Revamped,etc.), Warriors United Online (SAO thread as well), more available upon request.

Additional Fun Stuff: Not Required

Personality: Funny but a bit shy. He tries to appease rather than fight, however that doesn't mean he is afraid. He has been known to relentlessly pursue his ideals, and to defeat anyone who stands in his way. He will help his allies to the point of near death, but rarely finds anyone worthy of being his ally or friend.

Moral Alignment: Neutral Good (leaning towards chaotic after months in the game)

Theme Song: Die Wacht Am Rhein

Have You Read, Understand, and Agree with the OP Posts & Rules In Detail? Well of course.

Seeing the character's attire theme was WWI-era Germany (the Kaiserreich era), wouldn't it be more fitting if he wield a rapier?

Just my suggestion though.

Actually that's a great idea. Thank you for the suggestion.

The app looks good overall, especially since it's the first character to claim a connection with one of the characters from the original lore.

Please, just lower your level(the limit is at around 35), and everything will be alright.

With the floor boss fight rounding the corner I have a proposal for you all.

First, everyone that participates in the boss fight will receive a bonus level for the week.

Also, whats been bugging me is the last hist item reward. How would you all feel about holding a raffle?

There is twow ways it can be done. The classic lotto style where We use a random number generator and we all guess what it will give us, this method there is a chance no one will get it right. Or the other way would be well all are given a number and then using the same number generator we find out that way.

I prefer the latter over the former. But with the Former there is a type of risk which also entices me.

Yeah, but they had rapier-like handles, right?

Sorry, anyway. I'm not particularly familiar with most of European swords.

[The Tophat Empire]

Big bad OP here

Keep in mind that while Red "guilds" exist, they are not particularly large, and most would not have eliminated any large number or "red" players.

Engaged with them, sure, but killed any large number of them, nope


that is all...

[Shyluz]

I need to post, desperately.

[Tracian Empire]

I need to post, desperately.
