Description
Chrome first gained attention in NewWorld Online forums as a nameless large shield user. An adept player since launch, he specializes in the great shield and sword class, relentlessly advancing this playstyle despite frequent defeats. He humorously acknowledges this might make him the game's "number one player in terms of dying." His appearance features a muscular adult male build with short brown hair and brown eyes, typically clad in maroon armor with white-marked shields, shoulder pauldrons, wrist gauntlets, and a protective headpiece.
Personality-wise, Chrome is caring, honest, and open-minded. He exhibits a protective, parental vibe, especially towards newer or younger players. Maintaining a competitive spirit, he prioritizes camaraderie. This is evident when he readily assists Maple despite her unconventional playstyle overshadowing his expertise. He safeguards inexperienced guildmates like the twins May and Yui due to their low defense. His amiable nature fosters strong friendships with players like Iz, Marx, and Drag, with whom he shares private information and combat experiences.
Chrome's journey starts when he witnesses Maple being attacked by monsters on the first floor, sparking online discussions. He later introduces her to the crafter Iz after she admires his shield, inadvertently catalyzing Maple's rise. Though initially perplexed by Maple's unorthodox strategies, Chrome grows to respect her effectiveness, often documenting her surprising skill acquisitions in private chats. He achieves ninth place in the first in-game event, bolstering his reputation. When Maple establishes the Maple Tree guild, Chrome and Iz join, solidifying their alliance.
His equipment evolves significantly. Borrowing Maple's turtle Syrup leads Chrome to discover a hidden dungeon. Defeating its boss grants him the unique "Undead Lord" series gear from the Tomb of the Dead dungeon, accessible only after 1,000 deaths. This includes the "Wall of Revengeful Ghosts" great shield and "Neckdrop" short sword, granting indestructible status and skills like "Soul Eater" (HP recovery on kills) and "Life Eater" (HP recovery from damage dealt), enhancing his tanking. Later, exploring another dungeon, he discovers the sentient armor monster companion Necro, bound via the "Bridge of Bonds" ring. He combines with Necro during combat, notably in the eighth event.
Chrome's skill set emphasizes survivability and support. Key abilities are "Stout Guardian" (survive lethal attacks once daily), "Revitalize" (boost all recovery), "Guard Aura" (increase defense), and "Ghost Mud" (inflict HP loss on attacks). Equipped skills like "Dead or Alive" (50% chance to survive fatal hits) and "Soul Sucker" (HP recovery when damaged) augment his resilience. In group activities, like the sixth event, he teams with allies such as Misery and Kanade, adapting to mechanics like disabled healing by avoiding damage. During the seventh event's tower climb, he tanks hordes of physically immune zombies alone, leveraging recovery skills to endure.
Within Maple Tree, Chrome is a steadfast protector. He mentors Maple without resentment over her overshadowing success, shares a mutual bond with Syrup (who favors him despite belonging to Maple), and supports the twins in combat. His dynamic with Sally includes lighthearted apologies after acquiring Necro, reflecting his considerate nature. Beyond the guild, collaborations with players like Payne and Mii during the sixth event demonstrate his adaptability in cross-guild alliances.
