Misericorde (SAO)

Gamertag: Misericorde
Real Name: Giacomo Di Rossi
Sex: Male
Age: 19
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 130lbs
Affiliation: Player (usually solo, but isn't against parties. It's just that most people have different priorities)
Nationality: Italian
Other: Venice, in reality, is relatively lanky and thin with a tight, athletic build, similar to a swimmer's, and wears his hair in a mohawk, though opting to buzz and bleach the sides rather than shaving completely. This translates directly to his character, and he's made his character the same as himself even before he was forced to have himself as an avatar. Though he doesn't wear a shirt, he wears a harness of leather straps (not armor due to the fact that the leather is unlike leather armor, not providing any real protection), with similar belts above his knees on either leg, and a pair of boots visible from under the ankles of his pants. (This is just in lieu of art, and a placeholder. I'll get some eventually, I promise!)

Sword Arts:
-Assenza di Onore: Misericorde starts this Sword Art by ducking into a low running stance with his katar, Which begins to glow with a sinister, purple Incandescence, held pointed back. Making use of his speed and agility, he runs close to the opponent (usually eliciting an attempt at defense), dodges past them, and buries his blade in their back with a single strike.

-Nel Tuo Volto: Misericorde rushes at his opponent, katar glowing a soft pink, as though in a mocking gesture... And a fitting one at that, as the first hit of the two-strike attack is a disorienting boot to the face (or approximation thereof) as Misericorde pulls into a tight backflip, pivoting upright in place, and striking the foe with a rising uppercut with his katar. the first blow isn't required to actually hit the opponent in the face and can be continued from a block since it only required contact with a surface, but if he misses the kick entirely, he will miss and potentially wind up flat on his face if he can't recover from the flub.

Equipment/Items:

Alcyone Potion

Personality:
Giacomo (usually just 'Jack') is a jerk, to be honest, and he'll be the first to tell you that... Though a good-natured one, at least! He really only intends to annoy and is never mean to people he considers to be friends, but even his friends sometimes find his flighty nature too much... Though, in his defense, it's Sword Art Online that brings that part out of him. While a very loyal and light-hearted individual,

Misericorde doesn't like just sitting around for too much and has been equated to a squirrel on Red Bull at his worst. On top of that, his cocky nature can get him in a tiny bit of trouble since his combat skills are so lacking, mostly due to his enjoyment in practicing the art of movement over combat itself... Which wasn't terribly conducive to gameplay... Though it DID make him rather impressive at running away!

While it's unknown if it makes responses to his attitude any better or worse (maybe both?), it's hard to get Misericorde down, and he always seems to be in high spirits regardless of the situation (In most situations, worse situations seem to make him sort of giddy) and can usually be seen with a broad, almost shark-like grin on his face. This makes his nickname very ironic, as he's often simply called "Misery" for short.

Also of note is the way Misericorde speaks: He knows english, but it's not his first language and, though he's fluent in english, he still tends to use italian in some situations, such as using "Ciao" in place of "hello" and "goodbye" or "Bona fortuna" for "good luck", and often giving people nicknames that they probably can't understand.

History:

While he enjoyed games once in a while, Jack was, at heart, a runner... No, not a track or marathon runner, but a free-runner... He fancied himself a parkourist, though he tended to be a tad too show-offy for the title to be appropriate, though he never let silly technicalities bother him! Unfortunately, a missed landing and a fall of several stories led to the loss of the use of his left leg, having destroyed his knee and shattered his knee cap.

While This probably would have killed him, albeit slowly, Jack's friends were... Probably better than he deserved. They decided to pitch in and buy him a nervegear and SAO, thinking having full use of his body for at least a little while might brighten his spirits... Though they probably hadn't figured that he's get stuck in it... Though who knows, was the loss of the real world really a loss...?
