[Background] Seven years before, Endrance was a Wavemaster called Elk, when the online game, The World was still version R:1. At that time, Elk constantly relied on his friend Mia, a player character with the appearance of a cat. When Mia started to become fascinated with the Twilight Bracelet, worn by the Twin Blade Kite, Elk became jealous.

Throughout time, Mia's speech started to sound broken up within the game, for unclear reasons, making Elk concerned. Her memory also became damaged. After a while, she disappeared from the game all together, leaving Elk to search for her frantically. Later, Mia was found and she revealed she was just a program within "The World". She turned into Macha, the sixth phase in what was called the Morganna Incident or Second Network Crisis, which Kite defeated.

Elk blamed Kite for Mia having left him, and he stopped talking to Kite. He watched from afar, and later, Macha reappeared. After being defeated by Kite and Elk, Macha turned back into Mia. She had lost her memory, but Elk was just happy to have her back.

Seven years after this, The World, R:2 is introduced. Kaoru takes on the name Endrance this time, and the class of a Blade Brandier. At the beginning of the G.U. series, he is first spotted by Haseo, in the Lost Ground, Idieglut Lugh, playing with AIDA spots, and a small cat on his shoulder. Later, Haseo sees Endrance as the Emperor of the Demon Palace. Endrance was the only person in his own party, and fought with his Avatar, an illegal power given to certain characters called Epitaph Users.

Haseo, also an Epitaph User, defeated Endrance in the arena. The small cat, which Endrance thought was Mia, turned out to be AIDA, a data anomaly within the world. Endrance holed himself inside Indieglut Lugh, depressed about losing Mia again. But Endrance's Avatar was vital to helping Haseo clear out AIDA within The World, and Haseo convinced Endrance to get a hold of himself.

Endrance begins to grow affectionate towards Haseo, thankful to him for having opened his eyes, and throughout the series, professes his love for Haseo. He helps defeat AIDA when he is needed. By the end of the G.U. series, he plays the double agent, siding with Sakaki, a man on the side of AIDA. But he later helps Haseo defeat Sakaki in an Avatar battle.

After Cubia, an Anti-Existence of the Epitaph Users, is defeated by Haseo and co., and the Third Network Crisis that resulted has settled down, Kaoru can take a load off for once.

[Personality] Generally, Endrance is very standoffish. He doesn’t care about other people and prefers to do things solo. He’s pretty selfish and will oftentimes be extremely rude to people he doesn’t know or like, however not always advertently - he doesn’t always seem to really get how distant he is or how severely he lacks any manners or common etiquette.

The only two entities this demeanor changes for are Mia and Haseo. Since in R:2, the only form Mia takes is that of a little AIDA-infested cat that sits on Endrance’s shoulder, he will coddle her and be wholly obsessed with her to an almost frightening extreme.

Later after the AIDA-Mia is destroyed and then Haseo smacks some sense into Endrance, the latter pretty much redirects his obsessive, stalker-like tendencies to the former. Since Haseo is actually a real person, Endrance thoroughly enjoys hanging on Haseo’s every word and pretending he is the only person that exists. He often confesses his affection for Haseo in his uniquely creepy ways, but claims he doesn’t care if the feelings are returned, so long as Haseo is happy. Endrance also says he is able to draw courage from being with Haseo.

[Specialties/Abilities] Not much in the way of abilities, unless you count being able to stay online for inane amounts of time, and being a creeper. In The World, his character’s abilities include beating monsters up with flower power his one-handed sword, and calling forth his Epitaph, Macha.

[Affection] Um...pretty much Endrance will avoid any contact unless it's with his bff Haseo. But it's A-OK if you want to try to bother him all you want 8)
[Fighting] Endrance is pretty calm and won't invoke any fights but could hold his own due to his mad MMO fighting skillz.

[Other Facts] Nothing I can think of~
