Shiroe

Shiroe is one of the many players trapped in a fantasy world based on the game Elder Tale, and his character is an enchanter. He tries to survive by teaming up with his friend Naotsugu and a beautiful assassin named Akatsuki. Formerly the strategist of the Debauchery Tea Party.

Personality
Shiroe's main class, the Enchanter, is an unpopular class in Elder Tale. Lacking the firepower most would associate with a magic-user class, the Enchanter is a pure-support class (without heals, since it's not one of the three Healer jobs) that shines only when supporting the party with its buffs, de-buffs and binds (Nanoha fans, think Yuuno Scrya without the tough defense and you're near there). Shiroe, however, loves this class for its potential, the complexity of playing this class well and also because the idea behind this class, "a class that can't do anything on its own", offers an experience totally different from his character.

Though a loner due to the aforementioned reason, Shiroe is not above helping people who really needs the extra hand, though he would still hesitate at times, wondering if he's over-stepping his boundaries. However, once his mind is made up on something, he would use all means possible to achieve his goals, regardless the methods, thus the Black Heart nickname.

Shiroe is a university student who majors in Engineering and is about to graduate when he was sucked into the alternate world. By nature a cautious and thoughtful introvert, he has been an Elder Tale player since middle school, a veteran with a near-encyclopaedic knowledge of a game known for its depth. Though not really an anti-social person, Shiroe has his reservations with guilds, due to unpleasant experiences with people who sought him out only to exploit his expertise in the game. He was, however, a member of the informal group of players collectively known as the Debauchery Tea Party (放蕩者の茶会) and was its unofficial strategist.
