Overall
As with all avatars in ALfheim online, Kouta's appearance within the world was determined randomly when he first logged in. he did not bother wasting any real money so that he could modify it to his liking. Fenix stands at the same height as Kouta so that it is easier for him to maneuver the virtual body. Fenix has fiery blonde hair, not to be confused with the golden locks of the sylphs. the avatar wears normally loose clothing and is very will fit physically. His two-handed sword is stored on his back when not in use. he has pointed ears, and when in flight, red wings form a small distance from his back. Fenix is very animated with everything he does, probably because of the virtual world overemphasizing emotions so that they can be understood by other players.
clothing
fenix normally has a dark gray tunic that is tucked into black pants with a brown belt across. The black pants are tucked into dark red leather boots that rise up to just below his knees. Above all this, he wears a dark red jacket over his top that is left open. on top of all this he has a brown leather belt going around his top. On the back portion of the belt is a loop that is wide enough for his sword to fit through while sheathed.

Kouta stands at a height of 5'6" with light brown hair. He looks like an average high school student. as he has participated in an athletic club for the past five years he is in very good physical shape. The main difference between Kouta and Fenix is how animated they are. the most likely time you will elicit any sort of real reaction from Kouta would be if he were confronted by a topic he was embarrassed by. for skills, Kouta has been practicing Kendo for the past five years and knows how to utilize a sword, at least a bamboo one. Most of the differences between Kouta and Fenix are merely cosmetic, that is unless you count their personalities.

Kouta is both similar, yet different than Fenix. as people cannot hide their personality where they go, they also have the internal struggle about what they want to be like, and what they actually act like. Kouta is an example of the actual self and ideal self being in conflict. In the real world he does not know what he wants to do, yet always goes with the flow because it is easier to do, which is why he conforms to the standards that are placed on him. He will imitate the behavior of those people around him so that he will be able to get by without being troubled. He is insecure and submissive, again so that he can simply get by with the least amount of trouble. He is very weak willed and not able to make decisions very well, as he does not want cause trouble with his decisions.
fenix is the ideal self of Kouta. as such, no matter how much kouta tries to hide his real life personality, it will always be there conflicting with how he chooses to portray himself. Then again, he could also grow in real life from experiencing what kind of person he wants to be. IN the game world he is calm and confident in what he does. He trusts his own abilities as well as other players. He is hardworking as he wants to reach a goal of being a great player in the world. He can be social with others in a playful way, something he would never do in the real world because he does not want to offend anyone.
« history »
LOCATION: Shōbara, Hiroshima, japan
Kouta was born and raised in Shōbara. The area is not as densely populated as the city, but it was enough so that technology and businesses thrived. Kouta knew all his classmates since elementary school. one could say life was always the same. people hardly changed, once you created your own identity, you remained the same until you were able to live the area.
Kouta spent all seventeen years of his life in Shōbara with the same people, locked in eternally being the loner. As a child he would join in with the crowd and go fishing, hiking, and other things. However, as he got older, he started to realize how different he was from everyone else, and yet he still pretended to be the same as them. This was made harder since he joined his school's kendo team, wanting to follow the leader of the group he was part of.
For the past two years of his high school career he was a member of the kendo team. as a team member he participated in all the trainings and in the tournaments. He was never one to do very well, which further made him the most expendable person from the social circle.
as he got into his third and final year of high school, he bought an amusphere online. After he looked up more reviews for what he wanted to use the device for, he bought Alfheim online. He had never played a vrmmo before, he had only heard the stories from the sao incident and the downfall of argus. He had heard though, that in a game a person can become who they want to be, no longer chained by the real world. with the thoughts of wanting to change himself, Kouta dived into the world of Alfheim online for the first time.

« roleplay sample »
Kouta was resting on his bed, the amusphere device just inches from his right hand. he pulled up his phone and checked the time. I am doing everything right? he asked himself while running through the guide on how to use a fulldive device. As he had read, lying down was the easiest way to not get sick when entering the world. Good, everything ready, he added.
As he completed that thought, he picked up the amusphere and placed it over his head. The device started up and immediately started the immersion. He simply watched as all the senses were synchronized with the technology, and before he knew it he found himself standing before a screen. He was being asked to create an account and password.
He filled in the information before clicking submit. A thank you message popped up before him, then quickly disappeared as a new visual took place before him. It was the loading menu for Alfheim online. Suddenly he found himself in the center of a large empty room full of screens, each showing off different trailers of ALO to the public. A voice welcomed him to Alfheim Online and then asked him to select a gender and character name.
He selected the male option, then paused over the keyboard. He did not know what he wanted his character name to be. Kouta had never chosen another name to go by, he had always been Kouta or Kou-kun. As he stopped in thought, he remembered the phoenix bird. It was a fantasy creature, so it should be fitting for a name. However, as he pressed to enter the name, an error message appeared, saying the name had already been taken. Then, using the best of his English abilities, he entered an anglicized version of the name. Fenix. That would be his name in this world.
After he input the name, the voice asked for him to choose one of the nine races. As Kouta glanced through each of the types, he was immediately drawn to the red Salamanders. Red was supposed to represent strength and leadership. Wanting to fully make a new version of himself, he went with the race that was the most unlike himself, the Salamander.
“You will now be teleported to the Salamander hometown,” the voice announced again.
This was the final voice that he heard before the room disappeared and he found himself moving very quickly while being surrounded by light. He had to shut his eyes, and when he reopened them, particles of light were flowing around him. He could see a city full of life all around him. Vendors shouting out sales and other players running about, forming parties and starting quests. His eyes were filled with this sight, and for the first time in a long time, he smiled. Not a smile of passively going along with others, but with pure excitement.
“Let’s get this started,” Fenix said as he took his first step forward in his new life.
