Occupation:
Rising actor/singer
Gender:
Male
Orientation:
Pansexual
Appearance:
On most occasions, Krys (self appointed name) keeps his hair short. He is a flaming red head and likes to flaunt it. Since he was starting to appear on stages for his singing and events for his acting, he started to play around with his appearances and often added extensions or wigs to increase the volume of his hair though he always returned to his original short cut. His eyes are a deep blue and his skin is a bit pale. He avoids being out in the sun too long since he would burn to a crisp. He often adorns himself with a variety of jewelry, colors, and can often be described as eccentric.
Reason for playing LAIOS:
The simple answer is that he loves video games. Whenever he has a free moment, he likes to dive into a game and explore the worlds. He has a love of lore (hence his user name, Rakugo, which is a type of traditional story-telling in Japan). He often views himself as a one man show and loves to explore new worlds, real or not. LAIOS promised to be a fantastic game full of rich history and new lore and an ever changing scene. Why wouldn't he try it?

Krys didn't change his appearance too much in regards to coloring and style. He wasn't trying to hide himself or be anyone else. He is happy with who he is and even in games like LAIOS, Krys is true to himself. So, he made Rakugo as similar to himself as he could even though he chose a beast class. The name itself is a representation of a Japanese art form of story telling. When he sings or acts, he thinks of himself as a story teller and though he isn't a one man show like most rakugos, he wanted to be a one man show in the game, collecting and weaving stories. He settled on a fox beast because of the old legends that kitsune were wise spirit messengers. He has fancied himself a nogitsune however, a mischievous fox spirit who doesn't always have the best intentions at heart. He'll spin a story but how true is the story?
He fashioned Rakugo with short red hair like himself and ensured the bangs fell forward in his face to add a sense of mystery if his eyes were covered. The orbs themselves are violet, his favorite color. Instead of going full on furry, he decided that fox ears and tails would suffice his needs and ensured he selected the 9 tails option to truly embody the legend he fashioned himself to be. Since his hair was red, he kept his fur the same hue instead of going the traditional silver or black for the nogitsune. Rakugo's features are sharp with touch a touch of softness at the edges and often uses a mask to cover himself when he is fighting or when appearing in the town with information. All the better to persuade the unwary with his disguise and mystery. Like all beasts, he has the fangs and claws of his animal and the heightened senses. Overall, the beast is all about seeming alluring and playful.
Since he is a level 84, he has blue markings scrawled across his left arm and chest like the fine strokes of a paint brush. The symbols have inched up the left plain of his face as well and accent his eyes with a delicate blue line beneath his eye that curves towards his ear while a separate line curves downward in a curve. This is usually the only mark seen on his body since his armor covers the rest of him. If he did happen to take off his armor, the lines would be seen on his back as well though it is not complete.
As for his armor, Rakugo often sports things that are either form fitting with a hint of skin through the fabric or flowy cloth like kimonos. His light armor tends to be white with black or blue accents. He doesn't often wear gloves since he finds them bothersome and loves to feel the textures of the things he holds rather than the glove leather. Even the finger-less gloves bother him. He also doesn't wear headgear. Again, as a beast, the headgear mess with his hearing and he hates having things over his head. Masks are okay though since the rest of his head is liberated, thank the heavens this is a game or else had blows would surely kill him. Thankfully, his masks are still considered defensive head gear and he has them enhanced. In towns, he is also often seen with a fan that he likes to use to cover the lower half of his face and just emote the expressions through his eyes. If anything, being in this game has helped him learn how to better express emotions via movement. Rakugo is a swordsman so he will always be seen wearing his katana on his left hip. Even when in towns his sword is never far from his hand.
Skills:
âArmor Slash - Ability to cut through a target's armor and break their defense.
âChaos - The ability to attack enemies in a chaotic flourish. This attack is not super powerful, but allows the player to attack multiple targets without being hit.
âSilver Tongue - Silver Tongue is the ability to talk your way out of trouble and swindle merchants into giving you an item for less gold. The higher the level, the more persuasive you are and most would consider you quite the charmer. Rakugo has leveled this skill up to 78 and can lower most prices in shops and swindle information from those that do not have a high enough skill to combat his persuasion. He can also get guards to overlook crimes for himself or other players should he wish to. Getting information from him would also cost a player a pretty penny. His information however is usually solid... even if his answers aren't always clear.
âDetection - Train your detection skill and you'll have an easier time seeing the sneak and avoid pick pockets. This also helps in fights, allowing you to be aware of your opponents moves based on their stances. As part of his occupation as an Information Broker, the detection helps him find interesting people that may try to hide and helps keep himself hidden from said players as he collects information.
Enhancements:
â Mask - magic attack reduced by 30%.
âBody armor: Physical damage can be reduced by 24% and adds a confusion counter to opponents.
âLeg Armor: Speed is increased by 15%
âThe Devoured (swordsman quest item): Drain 20 points of health from enemy every 5th hit.
âBoots: Sneak is 20% easier

âĻ Lore - Rakugo loves to learn about history and lore and this translates to both learning about the world and other players.
âĻ Rakugo loves to tease and play around with others and can be quite the Cheshire cat by giving prophetic answers to questions and never being 100% clear.
âĻ Meeting new people is always something that he likes and often hangs out in a town or in taverns to both pick up information but also meet others. He is a very friendly person.

âĻ Those who play dirty and cheat. It ruins the fun for everyone and there is no reason for this. Who are you trying to prove yourself to? You just fail yourself.
âĻ Bullies. Plain and simple. There is no reason to be mean spirited towards another person and be cruel. Teasing is well and good, but does not agree with those that turn it into a cruel joke to put another person down.
âĻ Being stuck in the game. He loves the game but he does miss his life outside of the game and wants to return to it.

âĻ As a beast, he is physically stronger from the start than the other races.
âĻ With increases senses, he has a naturally in-tuned detection skill. It is hard to sneak up on him, especially with his high level of detection.
âĻ Persuasion - he is very high in his silver-tongue ability so he will usually get what he wants.
âĻ In a battle, he fights up close and personal so he has the advantage over mages if he gets in close.

âĻ Beasts are less magically inclined so he is vulnerable to mage attacks.
âĻ As a swordsman, he doesn't get a shield to protect himself and doesn't have a second blade to aid himself in a battle so his defense is lower than a dual blade.
âĻ Those he finds attractive. This could be a huge problem since he does get distracted and being pansexual... he doesn't have a preference so just about anyone could distract him and pull out his flirting mode.

âĻ Being stuck in the game forever. He wants to return to the real world and if they are all in comas, eventually the hospital would need to cut off life support for everyone stuck in the game for years. It would cost too much to keep them all alive. He doesn't want to die.
âĻ He is afraid of losing those close to him, both in and out of the game. He has already lost friends who got cocky in the game and he worries about them. And he is afraid he'll lose his friends in the real world if he doesn't wake up. It also makes him fear waking up years later in a body he himself doesn't recognize.
âĻ Rakugo is afraid of losing everything he worked for in real life. He was so close to achieving his dream and now he is stuck in a game. He is also afraid of loosing those he has come to know in the game.

Playful áĻ Flirty áĻ Mischievous áĻ Manipulative áĻ Eccentric
Krys's personality and Rakugo's personality really isn't all that different. They are one in the same with just slight exaggerations in game because hey, it is a game. Throughout his life, Krys has been very theatrical and often exaggerating his movements and speech, something he started doing more of to get himself ready for the different roles he had to play on the big screen. These things helped him practice different types of characters and he started to learn the intricate expressions required to change emotions subtly via his face and slight bodily movements. He was nowhere near a professional and he was still just a fledgling in his acting career but he had big dreams. His mantra was always 'be your own person' so he wore things and styles that seemed odd to others and he really could care less that people thought they were strange. With his small bit of stardom, he began to be viewed as less eccentric and more 'artistic' though really, that means the same thing to him.
Both in game and out he often breaks certain social boundaries and can be very touchy. He loves to flirt with everyone (except children) and he has no problem expressing his love of people. He likes to get a rise out of people and push buttons. He finds their reactions hilarious and continues to prod even if they get angry at him and generally keeps a smile on his face as he annoys people. He gives people random nicknames that change every time he sees them and drape himself all over people. He does this in real life as well which has ended up in some burned bridges but such is life. You can't please everyone and trying to please others will end up in your own sorrow. It is important to be happy with yourself and be yourself.
To add to his teasing, Rakugo fancies himself a nogitsune from legend so he likes to tease people endlessly and can be quite the Cheshire cat when it comes to giving information. Because his skill is so high, he gets a lot of good information and he is always on the look out for more. His information is usually on the large scale but he doesn't give information for free. He requires payment and even if you pay him, his answers are cryptic. He will never give you a straight answer. Unless he really likes you and your cause but even that is iffy. He gives the information he thinks would help and likes to manipulate things behind the scenes. He goes to various guilds to give bits of information but he usually tells everyone different parts of the story and it is up to them to figure it out. And once he gives information, he will pester and persuade to get more information from his client. He likes the allusive and mysterious vibe and will often do his utmost to keep up that visage. Whenever interacting with him, it is wise to keep in mind he always has more information than he gives.
All fun and games aside, Rakugo is not to be taken lightly. He plays the innocent and naive character well and can often seem like he wouldn't be able to stand his own in a fight but he has some pretty good enhancements on his light armor and he will not back down. He is a fierce fighter and will be a great asset to a party if they decide to add him. Especially since people die in the game, he doesn't play silly antics during a battle and takes it very seriously. He left with a group and will come back to town with everyone from that group. He is a protective person and even strangers are to be protected if they party with him. He doesn't want anyone to die.

Before the game, Krys was someone that was finally getting his name out in the public eye. His family background wasn't the greatest, what with a drugged up mother and a baby-daddy in jail. He wanted to get away from that situation as quickly as possible. He worked really hard in school to earn scholarships since he knew he would have no other way to get to college. Despite his less than ideal start in life, he managed to achieve the first of his many goals and went out of state for college and changed his legal name to Krys Loren. He liked the sound of it and he wanted an interesting spelling though the name itself just sounds like 'Chris'. Even then he loved theater and singing and wanted to learn as much as he could about this profession. And finally, he got his first couple of acting gigs. One such gig required that he sing so he got to show off the fact that he could do both. He still has a lot to learn, but he was finally achieving his dream. He was going to make it. He would have his name in lights, fans, and more money than he ever had to worry about again. If he was smart about it, he'd have money to try and help his parents and then whoever else came into his life.
That unfortunately didn't happen for Krys. The young rising talent heard about LAIOS and thought the concept behind it was rather interesting. He had always been a fan of games like this since you got to immerse yourself in a brand new world. He was most excited about the main quest, the lore, and the scenery. Fighting was just an added bonus and a stress reliever. He wanted to see what this game had to offer and so he started to play the game. As described earlier, he decided on a character that did look like him but also embodied some legends and story telling. He also decided to use this character to expand his repertoire of acting. He decided on an Information Broker since that seemed like a really fun occupation. Who wouldn't want to be able to spin stories and find out things that others didn't know? It just seemed to fit his goals and personality the most.
The day of the lock down, Krys shouldn't have even had time to log in. He was supposed to catch a flight to his new acting gig but his flight got delayed because of some bad weather. With his new found spare time, he had logged in and... well now he is stuck in a game, his dreams moving farther and farther away from him with each passing day. When would he be able to go back to his life? He had so many goals and now he couldn't completely any of them. It is a source of great sorrow and frustration for him.
While playing the game, Rakugo found many friends that were all interested in story telling, entertaining, and lore. He got along with them well and often partied with them, seeking more information about the world they found themselves in. Unfortunately, some of them grew apart after the lock down. Two had killed themselves to escape, one blocked everyone and three died within the game when they couldn't get away. It left Rakugo a bit more cautious but he continues to look for more information on how to get out of the game and who exactly the betas and the GM are. He hasn't joined any of the new guilds because he is not 100% certain which avenue is the best. Would killing the Game Master work? What if his life was infinite? What if it killed the game and everyone in it? Was there another way out? He often gives information to all three guilds to see what happens. He has already determined who one of the betas is but hasn't approached them about the subject just yet, wanting to observe before getting involved. He wonders if talking to the Game Master will help at all so he is always looking for more information on the Game Master directly.
