Female
Orientation:
Pansexual
Appearance:
Sarah is a rather plain girl with short, dark hair. She had light skin, a thin frame that's just about curveless, and big, brown eyes. She easily blends in to the background, and goes unnoticed. Usually she wears glasses to correct her vision, but she does have contacts.
Reason for playing LAIOS:
Sarah has always been very into immersion style entertainment, particularly books and games. Her biggest problem with anything she found was that she'd become bored after a while, because books are always the same and games got repetitive. LAIOS seemed perfect, and she was so excited to play it that she saved up for months to buy it when it became available to the public. It wasn't abnormal for her to spend a lot of time locked away in her bedroom, but LAIOS took it to another level. Even before the log out button disappeared, she only really logged out for school and sleep, often even skipping meals to keep playing.

Sarah's avatar is relatively small, standing at only about 5'3" with a lithe build. She designed this to be appropriate for hiding and agility, although her feminine features are curved in a distinctly hourglass shape. Her pointed ears, which started very small, are now noticeably long and continue to lengthen as she levels. Whisper_Rose has white hair that reaches past her waist. Her layered bangs are usually parted down the middle to frame her crystal blue eyes, striking against her pale features. She has a rather pixie-esque shape to her face, with full, pouty lips, high cheekbones, a pointed chin, a heart curve to her jaw, and a small nose. Her cute and innocent appearance is mostly deceptive, however, and she uses it to her advantage, since most people wouldn't suspect her of much if they judge by her appearance. At level 62, her markings manifest as thin white vines, intricately entwined around her upper arms and shoulder blades. A few vines have begun to work their way down her back, and one has slipped up through her hairline. The oldest vines have started to sprout cerulean rosebuds, with only one present on her face, where her left cheek meets her ear.
Whisper_Rose started with all black attire, optimal for a thief. However, she has since switched to light armor in a mix of colors. It is mostly cloth, so it still helps her to keep from making noise, and allows for more speed and movement. She very rarely takes off her gloves, which are enhanced to help pickpocket, one of her favorite pastimes. There are a few belts around her torso, which hide extra compartments for items, while the rest of her inventory is carried in two pouches which are usually strapped to her thighs. Most of her armor she has two variations of, one black and one white; for the most part, she wears white during the day, and black at night. Whatever she's wearing, though, it all has blue somewhere. While she carries two long, thin swords in an X across her back, they are mostly back up in case she runs into trouble with monsters. Her main blades are much smaller and stay tucked away at her hips until used. When on quests or in unfamiliar territory, she keeps her hood up to hide her face. Because her every day armor satisfies her need for things 'pretty,' she rarely bothers wearing any jewelry or other accessories that wouldn't aid her stats. She switches to a vibrant blue cloak on special occasions, and in places she's most comfortable.

♦ Relying on other people - She hates feeling helpless, and not being in control of a situation can make her a bit twitchy

COY ღ OBSERVANT ღ SELF-RELIANT ღ ENIGMATIC
As a child, Sarah was upbeat and social, but after her parents' divorce, that changed. She was too young to really understand what was happening, and then her father remarried, and it was like her life fell apart. She never got along with any of her many step siblings, and felt like her step mother was out to get her. When her mother lost her job and the courts granted her father and step mother sole custody of Sarah and her older brother, Ryan, the preteen thought it was the end of the world. They soon moved away to be closer to her step family's relatives and friends, and if not for Ryan, Sarah would have been completely miserable. During her middle school years, her brother was her only friend, but he was quite a few years older than her, so soon enough he had to get on with his own life as an adult and move out.
Sarah always liked books and games, when she was a child it was considered normal but eventually they became her escape. As she felt her brother pulling away from her, she sunk further into these sources of solace; as a teenager she's spent as much time as she could locked away in her room with her books and the internet. RPGs, particularly MMORPGs, were always her favorite, but none kept her interest the way LAIOS did, even before they became trapped in the game. Sarah has been slow to open up for most of her life, and that translated directly into her Whisper_Rose persona. Because it worked well with being a thief, for a while, that stuck. But after they all got trapped in the game, it was only a matter of time before she had to talk to someone besides an NPC. Eventually, she had to open up to someone, and as time went on, she slipped further and further into Whisper_Rose.
These days, her shyness is mostly pretend, but she doesn't reveal much about herself all the same. While it was always easier for Sarah to express herself online than in person, with LAIOS she feels as though she completely is Whisper_Rose, and all interactions are in person, with no keyboard to help her sort through her thoughts and emotions. Sarah didn't feel the need to escape herself, more like escape her life, with Whisper_Rose simply being an alternate version of herself. The longer they're trapped in the game, the fuzzier the line between game and life becomes- at this point, Whisper feels as though life is a game, LAIOS is life, and she could very well forget all about Sarah soon.
Whisper_Rose stows away in the shadows, observing the others in the game. She almost always knows more than she lets on, but she does not trust easily. However, unlike in Sarah's life, Whisper gets a thrill from her own mysteriousness. The loves the adrenaline that comes with stealing and fighting, and feels like she can take on the world when she gets away with it. She feels no need to brag, but would love to become something of a legend. She often fantasizes about sitting in a tavern and overhearing others tell stories of a cloaked figure, whether it be a horror story or a robin hood type tale, while she silently smirks, proud that her identity has remained a secret. She actively seeks out the rush of a challenge, constantly wanting to prove herself, although to no one in particular other than herself. While she doesn't need to feel recognized for her efforts to be satisfied, doing anything without getting a prize for it leaves her grumpy.
When she isn't in the fields or working on a thieving adventure, Whisper_Rose likes to hang out in taverns, where her more sociable side comes out. She takes off her hood, sometimes even puts away her cloak entirely, and relaxes some. Her interactions are mostly playful and teasing, but of course that changes some with her mood. She likes to flirt with anyone who catches her eye, regardless of gender or race. Despite her admittedly skewed morals, and negative occupation, it's hard to get Whisper_Rose angry, and what does can surprise people. Any bullying of weaker or younger players immediately sets her off- she isn't one to flaunt her dual wielding prowess in peaceful zones like taverns, but under certain circumstances, she won't hesitate to intervene. General arrogance and mean spirits, on the other hand, mostly get marked in her mind as someone she's more than happy to rob blind.
Whisper's moral compass has definitely been on the fritz for a long time, and she's often unsure of her own opinions, but she still lives by a code. She won't steal from the poor, she won't harm children, and she refuses to PK. Adult NPCs that respawn she has no problem killing, even if their attitudes would get her sympathy were they real people, but at a certain point when the AI gets so advanced that she really believes that have minds and feelings of their own... She just can't bring herself to do that, and sometimes thinks it's even worse than PKing. No one knows for sure that killing players really harms them apart from locking them out of the game, but players have the real world to go back to, while for AIs, LAIOS is the real world. Killing them, to her, seems even more cruel than PKing; which is only part of why she has no interest in hunting down the Game Master. She hasn't taken it upon herself too look for another way out, either, since the only way she can think that such a thing would be possible is to reset everything, which she equates to wiping a person's mind, and is all kinds of messed up. Besides, Whisper_Rose's life isn't something she wants to escape. She is afraid to die, though, both in the game and outside of it, so no matter what she will fight to stay alive and in LAIOS.
Whisper_Rose is very much a solo player, which is why she chose the Dual Wielding class. She loves the power that comes with it; she loves being able to take care of herself, and take charge of her own life without having to take anyone else's say into account. On the rare occasion that she does join a party, though, it's either for a larger scale heist or something in the fields. She usually tries to take on quests by herself, but sometimes when going into a field or dungeon she's never dealt with alone before, the fear for her life overrules her preference for solitude. In these cases, she plays down her true nature, and plays up the innocent act, all pouts and impishness if not in the presence of someone who brings out her more flirtatious side. Even among party members, she doesn't really talk about herself or open up in any real way despite the socialization. She still hasn't joined a guild, but as she ventures into higher level territory and they continue to be without any manner of log out function, Whisper's starting to think it might be in her best interest to do so.

Sarah has a large family, but scarcely gets along with any of her relatives. She's been a rather reclusive person ever since her father remarried, and has always preferred books and online games to just about any activity, especially those that might require her to leave her bedroom. When she started playing LAIOS, she just wanted something that could keep her interest indefinitely; suffice to say, she was far from disappointed. Back before the log out button disappeared, she read a few blog posts about people getting trapped in the game, but since she could log in and out without a problem, she thought it was either a short term glitch or a lie. All tales of folks being killed in game and disappearing forever were urban legends, as far as she was concerned, if not silly misunderstandings.
Then the game locked down. She didn't believe for a second that what the Game Master said was true, she thought it was a scare tactic to get everyone in the spirit for some sort of event. As time went on and she saw no sign of a log out button, no one returning to their last save upon death, she started to doubt herself, but still refused to believe it. Maybe it was supposed to be a sort of tournament, last man standing kind of thing, and the message was meant to motivate them to stay alive, but the tournament just wasn't ending because everyone was so scared; she's since discarded that theory, but still. Openly, at least, she still denies that dying in a game could possibly hurt anyone in the real world, but inside, she knows something's not right. So, she doesn't hold it against any PKers, but she refuses to PK herself. Regardless of whether or not dying in LAIOS means dying in the real world, she doesn't want to die.
Now, she's just trying to enjoy herself. She isn't looking for a way out, because her real life isn't the one she prefers anyway, but she doesn't mind that others are. However, she does have a problem with the ones who want to kill the Game Master in an attempt to get out. Something about that mission churns her stomach, and besides, if they really believe dying in game means dying IRL, how do they know that killing the Game Master won't kill everyone in the game? In the meantime, it's becoming harder and harder for her to even remember what it's like in the real world, and she's sinking deeper into her online persona. Whisper_Rose spends most of her time wandering around in search of valuables and exp, or hanging out in taverns, where there is plenty opportunity to people-watch and pick-pocket.
