Arashi Malcrov's backstory

Jason moved to Japan roughly around at the age of 9, his single father having relatives within the country as well as a waiting job. Really it wasn't that big of a change, he grew up going back and forth from one place to another due to his father's job and went to homeschool. Though, it did give him plenty of time and money to play new games that came out and even test some new ones! See, his father worked with a team of game developers who were rather successful in creating games and he was always the first one to try it out. Call it his job before a job!

His life in japan really wasn't much different besides having to learn Japanese at a young age, going to a entirely new setting called public school, and being forced into martial arts from his uncle and father. it was a tradition that the oldest male in the the generation to learn their family ways, blah blah blah... it was a bunch of hogwash really but he did it anyway to help make sure his half brother didn't have to deal with it. Oh right, his father finally settled down and had another child...that was a fun experience.

Anywho, he made many friends growing up online with spending his time gaming rather than going out. That and a ton of music! It was something he wanted to make a profession out of. Hell, he was going into computer graphics later on in collage in the states once he got out of highschool! It wasn't till he found the nerve gear did he feel like he was gonna belong somewhere. His skills with swords and martial arts surely would work within SAO? Well... fate seemed to treat that as true but the dark side of fate made the twist of the game seem...fitting for him.  He trapped himself in the world of games all his life, why would this be any different? Only this time...it's for real, if he dies once it's over. It's like hardcore mode to the max!

Luckily he came in with a few people from his school club, that should be interesting..
