Kris dreamed of being a Paladin in the service of Torm, carrying justice throughout the land.  “Only those of noble birth may follow the way of the Paladin,” said Kris’ mother, but his father would always say “To every problem there is a key and each man must find his own key and unlock his own fate”.So Kris toiled and became a cleric of Torm, as his father was before him and his father before him.  Content to his duties, the dream soon became tucked away at the back of his mind, never forgotten but deemed too preposterous to realize.But soon Kris found himself in a field; naked as the day he was born.  And before him was a vast ocean of green grass, ebbing to and fro with the wind.  And the voice spoke.  And he knew it was Torm.The voice told him that while humans spoke of nobility, only He would choose his riders.  The voice did not care of a man’s status of birth only that he was pure of heart and possessed a soul wrought of justice.  They all had to prove themselves to Him and carry his message faithfully.  Do this, the voice told him, and he would be allowed to enter into Paladinhood.  But until then, Kris was to travel far and wide, carrying out His message and defending the just and pure.  When Kris was ready, He would know and He would show Kris the way.And after he awoke the next day, Kris told his father of the dream and his father wept with joy.  As the family gathered his belongings, he vowed to come back when he was a Paladin.  And he rode away with the hopeful eyes of his parents upon him…------Kristobar spent a lot of time as a cleric in the service of Torm. Eventually, he came upon a large church. During his stay at the church, He contacted Kristobar and told him his time had come. After passing a grueling test, one in which he used his father's key to "open the door" to Him, he was welcomed into the service of Torm as His paladin.Kristobar's defining moment came with his, almost self-sacrifice in the face of a dragon. With his comrades wounded or scared, or both, he took it upon himself to get the dragon to focus his rage on him. He waded into the foes reach, with no fear in his heart. His friends, seeing this bravery, pulled themselves up and waded in too, Kristobar's courage pressing them onward. Eventually, the dragon fell with a final blow from Torm, whom Kristobar always felt guided his sword.This is the best character I have ever played. I truly felt he progressed as a character into something more than a simple cleric. He had a goal in mind, paladin, and he worked towards it, showing Torm's great strength and wise judgement all along the way. When Torm finally decided to welcome Kristobar into his fold, I felt a great sense of accomplishment and pride, just as Kristobar, himself, did.Description:28 years old6'2"216 lbs.Shoulder length Brown hairDeep Hazel eyesWears Full Plate with pride (keeps it polished but is practical and knows it will get dirty and doesn't obsess about it)Large Steel Shield with symbol of Torm on the front (magically enhanced +1)Favorite weapon: Flamesinger (Flaming Longsword +1)Wears the Holy Symbol of Torm proudly around his neckHas no mount (Unfortunately, the campaign ended before he could get one)</blockquote>
