Richard Cross

Appearance
Richard Cross is a large man, standing 6'6 and weighing around 240 pounds, mostly comprised of muscle mass gained from climbing mountains, lifting rocks, one-arming a bastard sword, and extreme farming. He is quite tanned, having spent most of his free time farming. He has wavy brown hair and an average amount of beard on his face. He has gray eyes and is normally a loud man with a loud laugh.

Back Story
Richard Cross was born to a family of farmers. He was raised to be a farmer, and would have been happy being so. In fact, he is still a farmer, owning a small farm, living by himself with his dog. What changed his life forever was that he joined the militia in his town at a young age. He loved farming, but he loved helping and protecting people more. When his town got hit by a bandit raid, Richard was the first to run to the aid of the people. With the bastard sword that he took from the guardhouse in hand, he chopped through as many of the men who attacked his home as he could. He charged in, and minutes later, the bandits retreated. He was met with praise from his people, and they promoted him to Captain of the Militia, giving him a small brass insignia, which he still wears to this day.

And that is how he lives his life to this day. He waits in his home, tending to his farm and his dog, until he hears the call of adventure. If he can help people along the way, all the better. He puts down his farmer's tools and picks up his sword and armor, and heads out to battle.

Involvement
He has yet to appear in an actual, completed OS, QS, or Campaign.

Personality
He is a kind man from a humble background. He is constantly looking out to help his fellow man.

Beliefs
Richard wants to see the good in all people. However, he is able to recognize evil when he sees it, and will not hesitate to remove it to protect those whom he cares about.

Fighting Style
Richard wields a bastard sword, the same sword used whenever he was a member of his town militia.
