previously, but they both ended before they got anywhere.  He's actually the Halfling Paladin pre-made character from one of the previews, but I've tried to give him some character, and I think he would fit with the setting.  Here's his background and description.  I can alter it to fit the setting a bit better of course, but I just wanted to express my interest first.No one would ever have believed Corrin could become a Paladin had they known him as a child.  His parents, both adventurers had left him behind during one of their quests and were never seen again.  At first he took to trying to steal for his survival, but after several getaways that seemed the results of pure luck, he decided he needed to try things another way.  He realized that it was in fact far safer, and far more efficient, to convince others to do the stealing for him, sometimes even buy things for him legitimately.  He formed a small gang of street urchins, who quickly became a menace to merchants throughout the poorer districts of the Miisk, though he was always careful to keep their connections to each other from being too obvious.To this day, he is unsure of just what happened that night, but it was so long ago that it likely no longer matters.  By this point, his gang had become quite a bit larger, and he had become a young man, or well, Halfling.  In any case, he and several compatriots were settled into their hideout, enjoying the day’s spoils.  They had actually started to make some money out of this, rather than simply scraping by.  They had invited over a few of ladies of ill repute from a nearby brothel and were having a good time, when a sudden loud knock came on the door.  Everyone stopped to stare at the door, and after a moment there was another sound.  The sound of an axe hacking into wood, and the sight of a metal blade coming through the door.  The group stared for but a moment longer and then quickly panicked and ran for the back door.  Corrin, with his short legs did not reach it first, and it saved his live.  For as he watched, that door was smashed inwards, and a massive humanoid barged in, grabbing one of his friends by the head and tossing him aside like a ragdoll.  Everyone was screaming, and Corrin is sure to this day that it was the intervention of the goddess of luck herself that got him out of there alive.  He certainly doesn’t remember it.  All he remembers is running over rooftops with wild abandon and then falling through an open skylight into hot soapy water.  He couldn’t breath.  Was it the water, or was it because his face was buried in something soft and warm?  He felt himself being lifted out of the water, and realized to his (slight) embarrassment, that he had disturbed a human woman in her bath.  She looked at him with an expression halfway between anger and amusement, and it was fairly clear that she wasn’t quite sure what to think of the young Halfling who had just fallen face first on her chest while she bathed.Corrin quickly came to the conclusion that his very survival might well depend on getting into this woman’s good graces, and that was one thing he was good at.  Aside from her ridiculous height, she was pretty good looking too, so he figured he could get away with a bit of flattery even if she wasn’t as dumb as the women he usually associated with.  He looked down at himself, sopping wet and soapy from head to toe, not that she was any less of either, but he was fully clothed.  He looked back up at the woman and smiled sheepishly.  “I do not know whether I should apologize, or thank Dibella for that stumble, my lady.  It seems sure that The Lady of Luck herself has ordained that I should fall through your ceiling and to be saved from certain doom by your most exquisite form.  My name is Corrin, Lady, I would be honored if you would share yours.”The woman watched him curiously, having quickly covered herself with a towel once she had extricated the bewildered Halfling from between her bosoms.  She smiled at his overdone flattery, perhaps because it amused her, even more so because it sounded so sincere (And certainly, quite a bit of it was).  “And what do you know of my mistress?”  The lady asked, taking Corrin completely by surprise.A priestess, this could be either very good, or very bad for him.  In any case, he would have to use all of his charm, and show his piety.  He did, quite well, and in the morning he was still alive, and had made a new and important acquaintance, one that would influence his life from then on.  Sophia had gotten into his mind.  Made him think of thinks in a way he never had before.  She introduced him to one Sir Carell, a Paladin of the Order of the Lilly in service of Dibella and he too eventually became a Paladin in service of the goddess of beauty and luck.Having quickly realized that the church had little for him to do once he had become a full knight, he decided to find something on his own, and quickly realized that the one place that could use his new power the most was the very section of the city in which he grew up.  He explained the situation to his superiors in the Order of the Lilly, and though they had some misgivings, they eventually consented.  He quickly collected his few belongings and left. Corrin is a bit stocky for a Halfling, fairly muscular, and very handsome.  He has long dark hair, and tanned skin, and he wears a seemingly perpetual smile under his brown eyes.  Most of this is usually very hard to see, thanks to his use of full plate armor.Corrin has a friendly, seemingly carefree personality that servants of stuffier religions would likely find offensive.  However, he always tries to maintain civility, even to his adversaries.  He is not an intellectual by any stretch of the imagination, but has a good innate sense for things that often helps him where careful thought can’t or wouldn’t.  He unfortunately has a rather bad weakness for members of the opposite sex, of most any race.</blockquote>
