Real Name: Alvin Fleming
Character Name: Vaxilion
Words: Death, Entropy, Underworld

Backstory: An engineer dedicated to designing cooling systems mostly used by large computer farms, office buildings, and other industrial facilities, Alvin has the money to throw into his hobbies. Single and only a few years out of grad school, and with the world being what it is, virtually all of his conscious off-work time has been spent in VR.

He's never been able to stick with any one game for more than a year or two, tops. He's got a few small friend groups in VR hangout programs of various types, but he finds he gets bored of games after a few months of mainlining them and moves on to something new. Sometimes he'll go back, but rarely does anything really suck him in for the long term. He's in and out of guilds, often guilds featuring the same extended group membership crossing over multiple games.

RPGs in general and MMOs in particular are often on his radar, and Avalon Online is no exception - particularly given its native support for the neural jack he'd shelled out cash for (some ports from other interfaces are just awful). Alvin is often fond of caster and/or pet classes, and is always interested in how this manifests via VR interfaces - will it be clunky or fluid, will it involve verbal commands or gestures or both? Avalon's promised increased immersion and neural interface support offers the possibility of the fabled intention-based casting. Its an exciting prospect.

Old and experienced enough to be blase about many aspects of new games and skeptical enough not to buy into too much of the hype, he's still finding it hard not to get too excited about AO. When Kage dropped him a Beta code, the 'cautious' part of his 'cautious enthusiasm' was abandoned almost immediately.
