[edit] Biography
[edit] .hack//SIGN
In .hack//SIGN, Sora acts as one of the antagonists, mainly for Tsukasa's friends, though he hardly has contact with Tsukasa himself. Sora is an irritation, particularly to Mimiru, who can't stand being near someone she considers creepy, and BT, who uses Sora for information and vice versa, though she is usually on the receiving end of his Player Killer activities. He gets involved early on, searching for fame as the one who discovered the Key of the Twilight, but also planning to become Tsukasa's friend.
In the end he betrays Morganna Mode Gone in order to let Tsukasa, Mimiru and Subaru escape with Aura from her domain. This results in him being 'crucified' as he is Data-Drained by Skeith. It is at this point that we learn about him in real life; that he is merely a ten year-old boy.
[edit] .hack//ZERO
.hack//ZERO reveals Sora's fate between .hack//SIGN and the .hack games. Acting as one of the main characters, he is seen wandering The World, covered in rags and with no recollection of past events. He acts as a vessel for Skeith to travel freely and is instinctively drawn to Aura and Curl, the protagonist of .hack//ZERO who acts as a mother to Aura and protects her. Unfortunately, .hack//ZERO has yet to be completed and no one has any idea of how Sora got from this situation to the one he faces in the .hack games.
[edit] .hack//Infection-Quarantine
In this series of games, Sora has gone from travelling The World to being trapped inside Skeith's wand. Kite makes contact with Sora long after Skeith has been destroyed when he finds the wand in a dungeon. Sora is freed from this prison, though he only regains consciousness after Kite has defeated Morganna Mode Gone.
Sora does not appear as a playable character in the game, but instead an AI that's taken on his mannerisms and appearance, alongside similar copies of Tsukasa and Subaru, join your list of contacts as a reward at the end of Quarantine.
[edit] Sora, the Catalyst - .hack//G.U.
It was revealed in the Terminal Disk that came free with .hack//G.U. Volume 1: Rebirth that Sora played a major part in the development of Epitaph Wielders, Player Characters capable of using the power of their Avatar, which is formed through data taken from the Phases. In .hack//ZERO, Sora acted as a basic form of Epitaph Wielder for Skeith, though the Phase controlled him rather than vice versa, which allowed Skeith to travel freely throughout The World.
This, alongside Macha's transformation into Mia, proved that Phase data could be fused with Player Character data in order to create Epitaph Wielders. When it emerged that only certain Players could wield these Avatars, Sora was also the first candidate for this task, but was, unfortunately, not playing the game at that point in time.
