User blog:Arkan421/Character Concept

Hello, Ark here.

Been browsing the wiki for a bit, and decided to ask for your opinions of a quick rough-draft character/story concept I was thinking up for a possible side-story.

What I was thinking was that immediately after SAO incident began, one person decides to go into the game to look for a friend and (hopefully) save them. By spending the year, most of their life savings, browsing various blackmarkets, and doing various activities of questionable legality, they manage to get their hands on a NerveGear and enter SAO around one year late to the party.

Now the main problems for the new player is that they don't know where to start looking, what their friend looks like in-game, or even if they're alive or dead, and the fact they're working with barely any resources on the bottom floor.
