A bit about myself
Personality: Jonathan L. Tales is a coward both in-game and in real life. In real life, he hasn't aspired to a great deal because he has always feared the outcome of his actions. Which is why he is addicted to virtual reality games, where he feels safer. He's a good man, but he usually plays evil-minded characters as it's a moral relief to be on the other side. When he plays an evil character, he feels he has the world before him, instead of following so many rules and restrictions.
History: He grew up in a normal, loving family with mediocre income, but became increasingly depressed in his teens, asking himself the big questions of life but finding no answers. To escape from this, he began playing computer games. He found the virtual world to be much simpler than the real world, and escaped to it more and more often. Gradually, instead of gaming being an escape from life, it became his life. As a man of forty-four he spend nearly all his time online, and when Yggdrasil Online launched, he didn't hesitate to purchase it. As the game became the battlegrounds between two rivaling factions, he didn't want to be caught in the mid-fire, deciding to join one of them instead. He didn't feel strongly about either faction's cause, just as he didn't feel strongly for anything in the real life anymore, and joined the faction with focus on magic, as that was his character's focus.
