Fan Characters - Video Games

Fandom: .hack (specifically, .hack//G.U.)
Setting: In-game ("The World R:2")
Race: Human
Class: Twin Blade
Strengths: Adept at handling herself in-game during fights with monsters!
Weaknesses: Her fighting strategies don't hold up when her opponents are other player characters.

Description
Bonus is a shorter-than-average player character. Her build is thin and willowy. The blue markings on her skin and clothing are "wave" markings (intended in-game to show a character’s elemental affinity, but honestly these are ornamental).

Personality
Positive and helpful, though primarily a solitary player. Enthusiastic about in-game lore and exploration, which is what she engages in with great earnestness. Perhaps overly obsessed with Morrigu Barrow Wall. Given to somewhat compulsive item-collecting. Secretly competitive - hates participating in PvP skirmishes because she hates the thought of losing.

About
Bonus is a player of average skill who spends a disproportionate amount of her free time online, generally playing MMOs. She sometimes participates on the Apkallu art board in the forums, as she has a private passion for creative storytelling which doesn’t have much of an outlet elsewhere.

She has no affiliation with the main characters in the games or shows.

In real life, Bonus' player is someone who loses her luster when attending classes and is apathetic toward school. In her free time, she enjoys karaoke and eating gross microwaveable convenience foods.

Extras/OOC
If I need a character who plays video games in other RP settings, there are usually nods to this character - I default to using Ivelisse, Bonus’ player. Ivelisse, who is staying with a very business-oriented aunt while attending school, is often home alone in a house as pristine as an advertisement in a magazine. The only place she feels truly comfortable in this foreign environment is online, gaming.

Possible story thread:
Bonus visits Morrigu Barrow Wall every time she logs into The World. Eventually, a vagrant AI calling itself the God of Law Folset takes notice and materializes in front of her. The AI claims to be the self-same Folset who, in the lore of the game, built the wall and barred humans from entering the Heavenly Path beyond. He says that he's ready to reassess humanity's worthiness - and Bonus is supposed to be the species representative.
