Shawn Lacrimel

Shawn is a member of Sailor Doom. He multiclasses in Paladin and Bard.

The Bard Academy
When he was young, Shawn enrolled in a Bardic Academy. There he studied music and magic with his best friend/roommate for several happy years. However, in their 5th year, he noticed them start to grow distant. He put this down to them needing to take care of their brother, but was also suspicious of their involvement with a local guild. One day, just after his 17th birthday, an event happened that caused him to flee the school, and hide in the forests outside of town.

Telrys Kalirith
The night was stormy, so Shawn found shelter in a cave. There he met Telrys, a Dragonborn Paladin who took him under her wing, and over time trained him in the ways of the Paladin. However, he still looked back upon his previous life with bitterness, and so never fully learnt the morals Telrys tried to teach him. Suddenly, she disappeared, and he had to make his own way out into the world.

Life With Sailor Doom
Shawn travelled, doing odd jobs here and there to make some gold. He never stayed in one place for too long, certain that growing more attachments would just mean more people who would leave him. Eventually, he came to a village called Ranarp, where the council asked for help in exchange for a reward. Shawn took the job, and thus became part of Sailor Doom.

Shawn continued the journey with Sailor Doom, and although he took a while to warm up to them, he finally felt a sense of trust between him and the other adventurers. They protected each-other and seemed to care about him, and he in turn started to care about them too. This prompted him to start believing in the Paladin Moral Code again, and now he aims to become a better paladin and person. He's still not sure what to do in his future, but for the time being, he feels a sense of purpose being part of the group.

Appearance
Shawn is a red tiefling with horns that curve upwards. His hair is dyed pink, and mostly shaved on the right. It hides his left eye. He prefers to wear simple clothes such as Ye Olde Hoodie and comfy jackets. When in combat, he uses chainmail armour, along with an attuned levitating shield and a trident. His favourite colour is ice blue.

Personality
Shawn is wary of strangers, and can be very mistrustful. However, he is aware of his own paranoia, and will check what people he trusts think about a person when making his own judgements. He has a tendency to link everything to either a conspiracy theory of the mafia. When encountered with possible allies or enemies, he often tries to intimidate them (it doesn't work most of the time).

Despite being the tank of the party, Shawn doesn't like being in front when entering potential danger, and often forgets his own strength. He gets frightened but will attempt to conceal it, such as when Nimh is around. Shawn likes to make plans, as he feels like it negates the possibility of factors beyond his control messing things up as much as possible. If possible, he will use magic to solve any puzzles the group encounters.
