- Appearance -Delar is a massive man, standing approximately 7'0" or 213cm tall with an unexpectedly heavy build. For a human his height, his limbs and torso are much wider than one would expect due to his muscle mass. Due to this, he often towers over everyone else he meets, sometimes even not realizing someone else is there unless they had approached him from a distance. Even in this world he still keeps his eyes straight forward. When it comes to the armor that Delar wears, he prefers the heaviest, thickest plate armor possible, increasing just how big the man looks even further adding to this domineering visage. The man always walks with seriousness in his stride, as if he always knew exactly where he was going even when he is lost. However, he only walks like this when there are others around; if he is alone, or with a close friend, his posture changes to be far more relaxed.
When it comes to his looks, and not just his size, the man has dark blue angular eyes with black-ish blue short hair perfect for a helmet. His expression is almost always stern to angry, leaving a more permanent scowl on his face even when he is happy but one could say that the avatar he chose for the world was quite handsome; free from all blemishes and scars that one might have developed over time. His hair always parts directly above his right eye and his bangs hang down only over half of his forehead.
Contrary to his new appearance, the man known as Artyom was far from a handsome individual. His face was far rougher than most with sullen black eyes and medium length scraggly hair. Most of his face is marred from not one, but two injuries during construction. This left his real face gruesomely distorted but still appearing human. Even then, in the real world, the man had quite an intimidating presence. Standing around 6'4" or 193cm tall, he stood well above most of his peers, but still was far from the tallest. His physique there was also bulky, but nowhere near as chiseled or cut as his avatar due to all of his muscles being from just sheer heavy lifting in his construction job. As for the reason why he created his avatar the way he did when entering Gaia for the first time, he simply modeled his body after what he wished to be; a taller, more handsome man. He certainly got his wish.
- Personality -Delar, or Artyom as he was known in the real world, is the kind of guy who keeps to himself in most situations. In the real world, he would always shy away from those around him; never talking to or making any close friends of his own. He was a foreigner there, and by extension still a foreigner here. While now he knows he needs to be 'friendly' with the other adventurers, he still sees this world as a huge game; it is just one that he can not leave. Due to the excessive time in the real world that he spent escaping life and playing video games, he is always focused on whatever he is doing at the time. MMOs have a grind to them, and he knows to succeed, he needs to complete the 'grind.' Because of this, he tends to be rather shrewd with his actions and time. Kindness is not something he would give to others out of the blue, preferring to simply write others off as insignificant.
His thoughts on others over-all stem from how useful they are to him at that current time. Other adventurers in his party exist solely because without them there are limits to what he can achieve. Delar understands completely that teamwork is not just an idea, an afterthought, but instead a necessity to keeping himself ahead on the competition. This is why even though he pretends to not see those around him, that he still seeks out a party. Having these thoughts in mind, the man's average thoughts on the People of the Land are that of traditional NPCs; he fails to see that they too are people instead of simple characters that offer quests in exchange for a few pieces of experience.
While partying with others, he is often cordial with the group. The man knows his position in the group simply due to the fact that it is always the first thing he discusses; he will not join a party where he does not know his own role. In battle, he prefers to fight on the front lines and does not shy away from fighting other players unless their skill gap is exceptionally higher than his own. It is because of his personality that when coming across another group of adventurers while he is in a party is to recommend either killing them or moving to another location entirely; the fear of the other adventuring group stealing their kill and loot or simply killing them when they are weaker drives him to these conclusions.
When gatherings happen amongst Adventurers he merely shows up just to be there and scope out the competition. Sometimes, he might walk over and talk to another adventurer with the prospect of a future party member, but it is never to engage in the act of carousing with his peers. Most others might relish the thought of returning to the real world but here? He enjoys this world and the pleasures it has to offer. After all, what world lets you start fresh with the others around you?
- Biography -Artyom Viktorov was a cursed man in life. His parents played little role in his life as they merely helped push him out of his home the earliest they possibly could. The other children in every school he ever attended were either too afraid of him to talk, or simply played cruel pranks on his younger self. By the time he was an adult, he already was conditioned to see the worst in humanity.
At the young age of 16, he already graduated from his school; a paragon among his colleagues. College was far off in site, and instead he focused on learning other languages; predominantly english. The moment he had a firm grasp on how to speak and read it, he fled his country. Two years he lived alone in Russia, and in those years he made sure to take nothing with him. Ending up in the city of London, he quickly joined the workforce as a simple mule. Lifting heavy objects and driving giant machines, he helped construct the homes that many would live inside; including his own.
It was small, a simple studio in a newly created apartment complex. Such a small home would play even more into his recluseness as his foreign nature made it hard for others to approach him. Playing more and more video games, he grew jaded of those around him and online. It became obvious that he had a knack for the more brutal side of the games he played; specifically player killing and running the market, but even further was his ability to grind for hours and hours on end. Anything was better than lifting another steel beam from point a to point b as supervisors shout on.
Then it happened; a tragic accident struck and a steel beam was thread oh so kindly through his own face. His brain remained intact, with minimal damage, but his face was permanently disfigured. Almost as soon as he recovered, he gained a large stipend from his work for the compensation of his injuries, but it never felt like it was enough or even justified. Returing to work, he was referred to as the 'troll' of the construction crews due to his appearance, rough accent, and raw brute physical strength.
This only strengthened his resolve to play video games, and then he heard of the new update: Pioneers of Arcadia. Finally, that old game he had gotten tired of was releasing a new update. Just how much had changed since he first looked at Gaia? Buying the new expansion, he took the first day off of work that he had ever willingly done, and logged in to create his avatar.
Little did he know that he was really creating his new life.
- Extra -Artyom is 6'4" tall in the real world, while he is 7'0" in the game.
In the real world he could lift twice his own bodyweight with relative ease.
He hates talking about his family, but is willing to discuss his personal life if it will get others to leave him alone.
His voice is rough and callous.
The man respects strength and resolve, but does not scorn cowardice; it is simply another form of survival.
His favorite color is blue.
His least favorite color is yellow; it reminds him of his old job as a construction worker.
His favorite food has always been hot dogs; cheap, and simple to eat. Easily customizable too.
His blood type is A+
His star sign is Taurus.
He is right handed and prefers to use swords over all other forms of weapons.
