Gergy (SAO:TTRPG)




 * -| Short quote = "Thanks for paying and persistently being bad at defiance."

- Gergy to Kai


 * -| Long Quote= "Gergy: Define Murder for me, Sage.''

Sage: Someone who kills another. No matter what kind of person they are.

Gergy: Hardly. Most Soldiers aren't murderers, are they? That's because they fight to protect something. Because they fear for the future. Am I a murderer for killing a known Serial killer who wanted us dead so they could be famous?

Sage:... It's still wrong, though...!

Gergy: Do you think I'm a murderer, then? I'm a murderer because I didn't want Kai, Yuna or Naut to die?

Sage stays silent for a bit

Sage: ...I... just believe that all life is valuable...! Of course that's a good reason, but there's still better ways to go about it! What if someone you killed had to also do the same thing...?!

Gergy: Yeah, all life matters....Until someone throws it's value away.

Gergy has a calm expression on his face, but, to anyone with good perception, his heart is beating fast. This isn't a casual matter for him.

Gergy: Everyone wants to go the pacifist route, but when the alternative is the life of you or loved ones... Maybe you would stick to those guns, but I choose me. I choose my friends. Heck, I'd pick Martie over people who think murder doesn't matter. This isn't so black and white that killing is bad and sparing is good.

Sage: Those people can still change though...! I know that it's not that simple!

He clenched his fists.

Sage: But still... I still believe that there's some way to not resort to that!

It seems the more Sage talks, the more he digs himself deeper into this hole.

Gergy: How do you convince someone who believes in something with no proof? Do we have access to more, really? Some people don't change. And others... Take too many lives to change. Too many good people.

Sage clenches his fists even tighter.

Sage: I don't know! I just know that there's world where everyone could be saved!

It's a naive ideal. Too emotional to be considered logical.

Gergy: I want you to give me a clear and concise answer.

Would you give your life up so your killer can live?

Would you give up Okami's life? Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, doesn't matter... Just tell me, the truth of what you want to believe in here on out.

Sage: ...I wouldn't give up anyone's life!

Gergy: Do you really think you're that strong that you can alter the course of a fight completely like that?

Gergy moves for his Greatsword... Though, more reluctantly.

''Gergy: If I was to make a move on your life, you think you can just block my attacks and talk it out!? My modifier is 82. Would that raise a simple "Everyone gets away happy" situation?"

- Gergy's philosophical standing

Summary
In the world of the Tabletop RPG version of SAO, not only are the 10,000 in Japan effected, but the game was released worldwide, and on a variety of servers, a significant part of the world is held hostage. Gergy is an American among them, but for inexplicable reasons, he was looped into the Japan servers despite living in the US. He spent about a month waiting for the clearers to do their thing, but eventually, he decided he had enough, and went out into the world. He met up with Kai, and eventually made a Guild, simply known as the party. And with them, they went into a world filled with Tragedy, hope, death and love, almost like they're living a real life.....

Personality
Gergy is what you would consider a nice guy. He's selfless, caring, yadayada. But, you probably wouldn't pick that up if you were to talk to him. Due to being a socially awkward sort of guy, while he does speak up a lot more then he does in real life, you do sometimes wonder if he should have stayed shy. Due to his inability to operate under pressure, not only does he seemly short circuit in a stressful situation, but he often comes off as insensitive and just, well, as Lind thought when encountering him, "A disrespectful asshole" (Me using that term professionally of course). But, under an accidental facade made by his poor chosing of words, he is still a good person, as Kai found out by being with him for awhile.

While he is pure of heart... He is not innocent. As shown in the The Unitum Summit event, he doesn't relent from killing people who he knows would kill him. While he isn't conflicted on his opinion, the other members of the party do not entirely see eye to eye with this line of thinking, specifically, Sage, who, while knowing what Gergy was saying was ultimately true, refused to believe in the fact that some people just have to die.

 * Stout (Allows Dura to be added when Blocking. Requires the user to wear a Full Set of Armor to use.)
 * Nothing Can Weigh Me Down (Can use a full set of armor and a heavy weapon without any repercussions)
 * Martial Arts Master (Can only use when completing the Martial Arts Quest. Increases damage with unarmed fighting (includes combo skills that uses unarmed fighting, though only the unarmed parts) by x1.7 rounded up. In addition, when out of combat, whenever you're doing a Strength related activity, you may double your strength modifier. Also, when in combat, your Intelligence goes up by an entire modifier whenever you attempt to find a weakness in an enemy)
 * Tank (Only available once you reach 100 Durability naturally. When tanking an enemy that does higher damage than your Durability modifier, the damage you’ll take will be that damage minus your Durability modifier divided by 2 rounded down. If you block, the damage is reduced by a 4th instead. If the enemy doesn’t do more damage, then this passive will not activate. This passive also does reduce true damage, but of course durability is not applied.)
 * Willpower defense (Upon a successful block, becomes immune to status effects such as Stun.)

After napping, your Health increases by 10% rounded up after every round in combat, and passively increases out of combat as well, until you go to sleep. It takes 10 minutes real time to finish napping out of combat, and 5 rounds in combat. During that time, you cannot do anything else. Absolutely nothing else. If something distracts you while napping you must start all over again)

However, after every life is lost, the user will be left at 1 Health. Lives come back one per day)

Note: Rounds are game mechanics, in the sense that it doesn't apply to the abilites themselves (Elaboration on that here), but timers do still apply to sword skill cooldowns.

Outside System Skills
