Sinon.

Asada Shino (or Shino-non to her closest friends) is the real-life person (who is afraid of guns). And has black hair. And wouldn't be caught dead showing any skin. Her game character is a sort of therapy for her. While most gamer characters have a different persona in the game from real life to some degree, Asada's disconnect from her character is probably the furthest (aside from An Shoji/Tsukasa in .hack//SIGN, which inspired SAO) due to a childhood trauma (also the case with Tsukasa, but different trauma) causing her to create a character which is vastly different from who she is IRL. The deadly sniper vs the gun-fearing schoolgirl. Tsukasa only tops that by An Shoji convincing herself she was a boy in the game (though, to be fair, her IRL persona was separated from her character by the rogue AI Morganna).

Anime characters serving their country, or otherwise displaying competence for the art of modern warfare.

  1. Posts must feature "militarymoe". For example, characters in uniform, wearing battle gear, holding weapons or engaging in one of the many support-roles of warfare. Etc.
  2. No nudity. Lewd art is fine, but mark it NSFW.
  3. If posting a more suggestive piece, or one with simply a lot of skin, consider still marking it NSFW.
  4. Include a link to the artist in post body, if you can.
  5. AI Generated content is not allowed.
  6. Positivity only. No shitting on the art, the artists, or the fans of the art/artist.
  7. Finally, all rules of the parent instance still apply, of course.

SauceNao can be used to effectively reverse search the creator of a piece, if you do not know it.

You may also leave the post body blanks or mention @saucechan@ani.social, in which case the bot will attempt to find and provide the source in a comment.
