Crys

Crys is a paladin sworn in service to Alethus, residing in Cowersby.

Appearance
Crys is a middle-aged human with brown skin and short black hair, which is starting to turn gray. They typically wear heavy armor and a symbol of Alethus.

Personality
Crys isn't a particularly warm person, but they're even-tempered and have a wry sense of humor.

Background
For a time, Crys was the only paladin in Cowersby. While the village is generally a peaceful place, they took responsibility for training any interested older teens with the proper use of weapons and armor, in case of emergency but also in hopes of finding a possible apprentice. Eventually, Eleanor took an interest in learning more about the ways of a paladin, and they took her under their wing. They also trained Kilwin in the use of armor, shields, and simple weapons. They banned Len from their lessons after a single session due to his irresponsible handling of his wooden sword. Shortly before Kilwin's return to the village, Crys attempted to go after Len, who was rumored to have turned to banditry after leaving Cowersby, along with Len's friend Harry. However, they were unsuccessful in bringing him back.

Kilwin's Homecoming
Kilwin visited the village's paladins to reconnect with Eleanor and return the shield and armor he had borrowed from Crys, since he had acquired better equipment. They gently teased him about it and allowed Eleanor to have a day off to spend with her friend, much to her surprise. They were also present at Len's sentencing for his admitted crime of banditry and said that it required some form of punishment, although they were willing to be relatively lenient given the circumstances.

Goals
Crys wants to ensure Cowersby remains safe from outside threats. They rarely leave the village for long, in case something happens.

Abilities
As a paladin, Crys derives a variety of abilites from the conviction of their oath. However, their abilities have not been witnessed firsthand by the Pog Champions. They are, however, skilled with shields and a variety of weapons, particularly longswords.

Crys and Eleanor
Crys is Eleanor's mentor as a paladin. Their training has allowed Eleanor to refine her fighting style, although she still has trouble holding back at times. The two are close, although Crys seems to be a slightly harsh taskmaster, as Eleanor was shocked to be given a day off when Kilwin visited.
