Phineas Forge
Forging new roads
Real Life Name: Norio Pakasura
In-Game Name: Sting Trooper
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Ethnicity: Japanese
Appearance (More than four coherent sentences): Norio is a slender, young man with pale skin and blonde hair. He stands approximately 5'7". In real life, he often wears comfortable clothes like jeans and hoodies. He also wears glasses to correct his vision. In the game, Norio chooses for his avatar to wear a tuxedo, without the coat. He wears a black vest over a white shirt with black slacks. A black bow tie is also included. Norio wears a black mask to finish off his look.
Personality: Norio is an intelligent young man who likes to think he has a keen insight into the human psyche. This is why he wears such a prim and proper outfit, but pairs it with a reckless strategy. Norio utilizes his high agility and vitality to close the distance on other gunners and then destroy them with his shotgun. Norio likes to measure things out and plan accordingly, which is why he knows exactly how long his active camouflage lasts and how long the cooldown takes before he can use it again. Norio is a team player, having chosen his strategy/build/weapons on the premise that others will be working with him. He is also fully aware that his chosen a position and role will more than likely lead to his death and he relies on his team to finish the opponents that he's weakened or thrown into disarray.
Bio (More than four coherent sentences): Norio could be considered a lucky individual... depending on how you look at it. His family is not overly wealthy and when Sword Art Online came out, Norio and Eiji, his older brother, begged their parents to buy them the game and hardware to play it. The family was only to afford one copy and Eiji got to sign in first while Norio sat anxiously next to his brother's seemingly comatose form. That was when the SAO ordeal started and Eiji was prohibited from logging out of the game. Norio waited and waited for his turn, before getting upset with his brother.
Eiji never made it out of SAO, his avatar losing out in battle a couple weeks into the game. Norio was overcome with emotions like guilt and regret. Eventually, Norio picked up the equipment and bought a new game, Gun Gale Online. While his personality is perfectly suited for a sniper or long range combat, Norio didn't see those as fun choices and instead chose to make his avatar into a shock trooper of sorts. He runs into the enemy's front lines firing bullets all over and hopefully inflicts some wounds and throws the enemy into disarray. With that, his teammates can pick them off and take them out with the advantage in health they have. Norio gets a big rush when he's charging into enemy territory, trying to dodge bullets and firing his shotgun at foes. It's the only time he really feels alive.

Weapons: Primary: The Queen Bee - The Queen, as it is affectionately nicknamed, is an automatic shotgun heavily modeled after the real AA-12. The weapon is mostly black and a little over 3 feet in length. A shoulder strap is attached to the stock for easier carrying. The weapon has a selective fire option, so that it can go from automatic to semi-automatic. It also has iron sights, for improved aiming. The weapon's effect range is relatively small, measuring around 50 meters and, like most shotguns, the ammunition spreads after firing so a single shot is unlikely to kill a foe on its own at that range. The name is derived from the queen bee's need to have multiple bees target an enemy to its hive.
Weight: 11.5 lbs.
The Queen uses standard 12 gauge cartridges, meaning each cartridge holds around 20 small metallic balls which spread out after firing. The cartridges are housed in drums which hold 32 cartridges. The drum, easily seen in front of the trigger in the above picture, can be discarded once empty and replaced with one of the extras that Norio carries with him.
Weight: 4.5 lbs x 3 = 13.5 lbs.
Secondary: The Wasp's Stinger - Norio's secondary weapon is a combat knife, strapped to his right hip. The blade is 7 inches long with a 5 inch grip, totaling 12 inches from tip to handle's end. The knife is entirely black in appearance.
Weight: 0.5 lbs.
Max Weight: 30 lbs.
Total Weight: 25.5 lbs.
