- Appearance -
Aaron entered the game as Avelia, a Ranger who is a part of the elegant Enoch race. She stands at about 5’3”, possessing short, silk-like white hair, a slim body type, pale milky skin, and deep black eyes. She is usually found in light clothing, as Aaron doesn’t like the idea of wearing clunky heavy armor. The main attraction, however, are the stunning wings on her back, which Aaron has barely any control over. Prior to the game, Aaron had short, choppy, black hair, as well as weary, brown eyes, and light brown skin covering a well-toned body, standing tall in comparison at 6’1”. He’d usually be found in his signature dark blue hoodie with gray shorts and flip-flops, as well as with an orange beanie covering the top of his head.

- Personality -
With such tender, flowy wings, flawless skin, a petite body type, and a soft face, one may have plenty of expectations for Avelia. Perhaps expectations of elegance, smooth movements in and out of battle, boundless patience accompanied by a calming voice that invokes tranquility into those who have the pleasure of being in the vicinity of her presence. Aaron subverts all of those expectations completely.

Aaron is not an Enoch at heart. His existence spits on the legends that define the holy race. He is reckless, brash, and obnoxious, but he also sports a kind heart, and tries to make friends with whoever possible, no matter race, class, or gender they are. He treats everyone he befriends as if they were a younger sibling, doing his best to care for them and to protect them in any way possible, as he would do for his own little sister. This can look silly at times, as quite often he looks younger than them. Unfortunately, he picked a Weapon Specialist class at character creation, so he can’t take many hits or provide heals, but he will carelessly load as much damage into an enemy if it means he can draw a little aggro off of a threatened ally. Overall, he is an impulsive, hotheaded soul caged within the body of a delicate, winged beauty. Bystanders usually witness this contrast firsthand when Avelia’s high-pitched, smooth, fancy voice spouts out Aaron’s usual crude, informal dialogue.

Aaron is determined to make it back to the real world so that he can provide for his family, and so that his sister isn't left all alone in the house for too long. He constantly finds himself homesick, as back in real life, he usually played video games to have fun, and not to immerse himself in the world. He often brings up his life before the game, and reminisces about modern life and how much he misses it. He’s slightly disappointed in letting people make his character creation decisions for him, and gets defensive when somebody references his feminine appearance or pronounces his username wrong. Doesn’t exactly help that usernames are completely capitalized in some sections of the game.

- Biography -
Just before the Apocalypse, Aaron lived with his fourteen year-old little sister, Mariana, in a small apartment, just barely scraping together enough money to get by. He worked as a part-time streamer and full-time cashier. His goal was to get his channel enough traction so that he could quit his regular job and work on streaming full-time, which meant he could spend more time at home to care for his sister, but that hope seemed like a stillborn dream. However, he strode on, day by day, and his channel eventually did receive some growth. He spent a lot of time with the same routine, working his ass off, then going home to enjoy some vidya with his fellow viewers. Things were finally looking up for Aaron, as he did playthrough after playthrough, enjoying his time with his slowly expanding fanbase.

Soon enough, the highly anticipated Gaia Reborn expansion was announced, and Aaron received plenty of requests from fans to play it. Eager to please, he started up the stream on launch day. There was about an hour of pre-launch hype, with him laughing along with his audience as they enjoyed watching various Youtube videos and memes together, waiting for the game to finally release. This particular stream was his breakthrough, with thousands more people checking out his channel to follow his journey throughout the Enlightened Republic. Finally, the countdown ended and the download finished, so Aaron hopped on to start his adventure. What first? Class selection? Race selection? Appearance editors? Too overwhelmed to make decisions, he turned to his chat to vote on what they wanted. Short, female, white hair, wings, black eyes-- Wait a second, that looks like.... Aaron shook his head from the sheer originality of his viewers, before laughing it off and smashing the 'Create Character' button.

Something caught Aaron's eye. He whipped his desk chair around to find Mariana standing in the hallway, happy to see her older brother enjoying himself. It was around this instant that his heart swelled. Life was good. Aaron was content. Everything was finally going right in life. He took off his headset with a smile and gave her a little enthusiastic wave.

"I love you."

Everything went black.

Adventurer:

Auto-Attack
A skill that controls the user's body and allows them to automatically target a monster and attempt to basic attack. A skill that controls the user's body and allows them to automatically target a monster and attempt to basic attack. Auto-attack will do a constant chain of attacks so that the total DPS is roughly the same as dealing minor damage once a second. For example, a heavy weapon will do slower but stronger attacks, while a player wielding two daggers will do faster, less damaging attacks.
Any skills or movements that the user may manually perform will take priority over this skill, but the system will generally try to aim for an accurate hit.

It was a staple among players in the original Gaia Reborn game, but since the Apocalypse, its use has taken a drastic drop. Manual basic attacks allow for much more fluid and precise control of attacks, and as such, the skill has barely been used by Adventurers since then. It does, however, allow for people who are not proficient with their weapon of choice to be able to reliably hit their target.
Passively, the player can also delay their next attack to increase the basic attack’s power by performing what’s known as an “empowered attack”. Each second used to charge an attack increases the damage dealt by 20%, up to a maximum of 100% at 5 seconds.
Toggle, No cooldown. No cost.

Roads to Romalia
A skill that can be found prominently on the player’s interface. Roads to Romalia allows a player to teleport back to Romalia from any city or town with a cathedral. Activating it causes the user to channel for five seconds, restricting them from doing anything until this cast time is done. If they choose to make any other action or are hit by an attack, Roads to Romalia is interrupted and put on a 1 minute cooldown. Because teleporting in this way to one’s home city essentially breaks them down into raw energy, it is extremely taxing to players after the Apocalypse, and repeated use in a short span can inflict mental and physical strains.
5s cast time, No cooldown. No cost.

Interface Control
Even after the Apocalypse, players have kept the ability to use their interfaces. When mentally called upon, the interface hovers slightly in front of them, visible only to themselves and is slightly transparent. It can be interacted with by touch of the fingertips or mentally. The interface allows players to access their party list, friend list, guild settings, crafting list and many other menus. Friend invites can only be sent in a face-to-face meeting, and the same goes for party invites. However, a friend can be added to a party regardless of where they are. Additionally, an Adventurer can talk to friends or party members through telepathy, by pressing one finger to their ear after dialing them. This causes words said to be spoken into their mind rather than out loud.
Passive.

Ranger:

Ranger’s Persistence
When their first shot doesn’t slay their mark, the Ranger’s determination to let the next shot finish it grows. Every single-target skill applies 1 stack of Persistence to a target, stacking up to a maximum of 6 stacks. Every stack increases the damage the Ranger’s skills output by a very minor amount, up to below-average at 6 stacks. Using a single-target skill on an enemy without Persistence removes all stacks applied by the Ranger on the previous target to apply 1 stack to the new target (any stacks of Persistence applied by other Rangers remain on the old target).
Passive skill.

Ranger:

Rapid Fire
The Ranger is able to activate this skill at any time to halt their current action and instantly fire an arrow. This is considered a Basic Attack and the arrow fired can be any arrow currently in the Ranger’s possession. This skill has up 3 charges and one charge is gained every 10 seconds.
Instant, 10s per charge. No mana cost, 1 charge.

Light Footed
After performing a basic attack with a ranged weapon or using a ranged skill, a brief gust of wind forms around the Ranger’s feet. This grants the Ranger a low movement up for 1s, allowing them to reposition easier between shots.
Passive skill.

Enoch:

Icarian Blessing
While the Enoch are a winged race, bearing impressive angelic wings on their backs, it is a part of the body that the Adventurers are not used to possessing, and while the Enochlian People of The Land have mastered their feathered appendages, the Adventurers have merely learned to control them on a basic level so as to prevent their wings from knocking things over.
Enochlian Adventurers are able to open and close their wings at will, but they are incapable of flight, only allowing for gliding; as such, Enochlian Adventurers take an intense reduction in fall damage and can glide for limited distances.

Idol:

Level 1

Idol's Mannerisms

The Idol has learnt how to change their mannerisms to make them more likable and less threatening, making others slightly more friendly towards them. While toggled on, they will also receive a low Aggro Down.

Toggle, no cooldown. Low mana drain.

Tailor:

Level 1

Needlework

Due to the dexterity from which they perform their tasks, Tailors are able to make up for any compromises in their ability. They recover from Accuracy and Evasion Down debuffs twice as fast.

Passive skill.
