As a child, he spent most of his days in his front yard dreaming up adventures with his friends. His parents, though somewhat distant, immediately noticed and encouraged his gifts for story-telling and leadership. Alfred's childhood years passed in a dreamy haze, but they were far from insignificant. His pleasant foundation helped him establish a generous and mindful state of being.
When Alfred was fourteen, he met his best friend, Carter. The two had similar interests and quickly found that, when they were together, the world before them looked promising and fun. Before too long, Alfred and Carter were attached at the hip. They built a strong friend circle, kept out of trouble, and conquered high school together. As time went on, Alfred and Carter slowly shared their secrets with one another; this was how Alfred first learned of his friend's emotional extremity. Carter had a good heart and a witty disposition, living passionately for better or for worse. Though Alfred admired the way his friend operated, he knew that such passion had the potential to wreak havoc. Carter had gotten into a number of surprisingly dangerous and depressing situations throughout high school, and Alfred couldn't help but notice that it became steadily easier for Carter to deflate. As his friend became increasingly silent, Alfred began to contemplate ways to revive Carter's spirit.
That was when Sword Art Online was announced. Alfred recalled his childhood and the many happy days he spent enjoying the adventures in his head. He purchased the headgear and game for himself and Carter and suggested they try it together. Carter certainly wasn't opposed to the idea; he liked games, too. When the two arrived in SAO and learned of its true purpose, Alfred quickly steeled himself. As long as he was with Carter, they would be able to get out alive.
But it was not to be. Within minutes following Kayaba's speech, Carter took his own life right in front of Alfred. Shocked and horrified by his best friend's death, the reality of his situation settled coldly in his heart. Traumatized, he fled the Town of Beginnings, fighting anything in his way (although it certainly wasn't easy). He settled on a tree nearby and tried to come to terms with his feelings. He knew that if he didn't focus, he would die here as well. However, overcoming his trauma was far more difficult than he anticipated. After struggling tirelessly for two days with his combating emotions, he made a choice. He chose to abandon his previous identity and become a character in this world, at least until he got out. Once the current danger was behind him, he would try once more to face reality.
Shakily, but decidedly, he began his journey.SKILLS

CALM. two-handed spears
1 Strikes, 0 Specials, 50% Speed, 200% PowerAster breathes deeply and enters a balanced stance, placing both feet firmly on the ground and crouching slightly. This triggers his spear's white-gold glow. From there, he quickly shifts to an offensive stance and lunges at the enemy, dealing heavy damage.
CLARITY. two-handed spears
1 Strikes, 3 Specials, 75% Speed, 25% PowerAster centers his spear in front of his chest, blade down, triggering its red glow. He then strikes an enemy in an uppercut-esque fashion, slowing them significantly for a brief time (1 post) and making them realize their impending doom.<<jiang wei from dynasty warriors as alfred thibodaux>><<character by al>><<profile template by bunny>>
