Schmitt

Schmitt (シュミット) was one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in «Sword Art Online» and is a former guild member of the Golden Apple and currently a lancer of Divine Dragon Alliance that is in-charge of leading it's defense force.

Appearance
Schmitt has short, sports club ace-like brown hair, thick eyebrows, a square jaw and a deep, magnetic-like voice. As a member of DDA and a front-line tank, he wears high-ranked, heavy metal armor with silver and blue as the base colours. In battle, he wields a 2m length spear (guard lance) and a tower shield.

Personality
Although Schmitt appears to be a brave tank during battles, in reality, he is extremely afraid of death, which is why, figuring that the rules of the game might change and towns might become unsafe at some point, he decided to "become sturdy" and thus put in a lot of effort in leveling up, though he chose the safest methods to do so. Because of his insistent philosophy of being "sturdy" and his hard work, he eventually became one of the strongest players in the game in terms of HP, equipment defense and defensive skills. Additionally, due to such a philosophy, he views people wearing light leather armour and using offense-oriented weapons as weirdos.

A Murder Case in the Area
During the events of A Murder Case in the Area, he was afraid of Griselda's ghost, because he thought that she was going to kill him. After witnessing Yolko's death, he decided to visit Griselda's grave, where he confesses that he had been given an order to set a crystal for Griselda's room and leave the crystal inside the guild inventory. This crystal helped in the murder of Griselda, while Schmitt was given a large amount of money, which he used to buy the necessary level of equipment to join the Divine Dragon Alliance to feel safe, because of his fear of death.

Schmitt is seen participating in the Boss Fight of the 75th Floor against The Skull Reaper and was logged out of the game after Kirito killed Heathcliff, prematurely clearing the game.

Trivia

 * In the Light Novel, it is mentioned that Schmitt is so scared of dying that the first time he went hunting, he had ten players surround a Frenzy Boar so he could kill it.
 * The Light Novel states that in real life, Schmitt is a sportsman.
