Commands

+app/set Player/Age=22
+app/set Player/Name=Jun Sumisu
+app/set Player/Sex=Male
+bg/set 1=Background:%rJun Sumisu was born in a small town outside of Osaka, Japan. He grew up in an aging community which largely was made up of the elderly, who often considered him like a grandson, even if there was no blood relation. From a young age, he had to travel long distances by bicycle and train in order to get to school. Living so far away from other children his age often made him feel a bit isolated, causing him to latch on to friends he did have quite strongly.%r%rIn his teenage years, he began to live with an Aunt who lived in the city of Osaka. For the first time, it allowed him to stay close to others who were going to the same school. He developed a strong group of friends, who did everything together. It is also how he met his girlfriend. She was a shy girl in the year behind him, who he bumped into one day while running through the school yard. Her smile melted his heart, and from then on, he dragged her into his friend group, drawing her out of her shy nature.%r%rAfter highschool, he managed to get good enough grades to attend Tokyo University. Unfortunately, his girlfriend wasn't quite so good with academics. Though it was hard, they decided to try a long distance relationship. He would take the train back to Osaka on some weekends, while living and studying in Tokyo. Telephone became their lifeline, spending long hours talking when they couldn't be together.%r%rWhen ALTIMIT came out, the two decided to join Elder Tale Online together, in order to have a way of doing things with each other during the week, despite their distance. They played side by side for the first year of the game, but when the Apocalypse happened, his girlfriend hadn't been online. Now, separated by more than just distance, he is desperate to find a way home.
+bg/set 2=Personality:%rJun is a charismatic and enthusiastic young man. He pursues his goals with a single-minded determination. He is quick to form connections with other people. Friends become important to him. He is willing to put himself at risk in order to protect them. Being separated from his family has been the most difficult thing in his life. He struggles without their support. He worries about his ailing mother and his girlfriend, unsure if either of them will still be there waiting for him when he manages to escape the game. He struggles with downtime, as that is when he thinks about those he misses most. This drives him to always be pushing the tower floors, not wanting to face his own doubts.
