Name: Toshiro Mizu, Honorary Paladin of the Sapphire Guard

Bio: Toshiro had a rather uneventful childhood - apart from his father dying when he was 7 years old and him surviving two weeks in the wilds all on his own with seemingly divine assistance alone. Toshiro grew up to be a bit of an odd fellow - he could just stare to the distance for several minutes before springing in to action, be it eating or watering plants or the occasional fight.

Fighting seemed to come naturally to Toshiro - more often than not he'd be the one getting his friends out of trouble they had managed to get themselves in, first with diplomacy and then with his fists. He ended up training in a monastery soon after the death of his father and held the Sapphire Guard paladins of Azure city as the very pinnacle of warriors. He had however made his choice - if you become a monk you stay a monk, none of that phony Prestige Classing! - thus he could only emulate the ideals of the Sapphire Guard so far.

As luck would have it Toshiro ended up befriending several paladins of the Sapphire Guard - even going on a few adventures with some of them. His friends - due to quite a strike of luck - ended up in high positions in the Sapphire guard and granted their monk friend a honorary title of Paladin. Though it did not come with all the perks of a full member of the Azure Guard - namely it lacked the excellent dental plan - it was enough to satisfy Toshiro's dream of being a paladin.

Some months ago he departed Azure City to travel the world - in his own words he had "Seen too little to truly know the 12." Some of his friends wondered if they'd ever see Toshiro again as they had waved goodbye to him from the city's walls.

Personality: Toshiro really really really tries to be a paladin - not one of those overzealous, downright foolishly lawful people, but noble, honorable, kind and all that. He seems a bit slow at times - even his friends were not quite sure if he really had an intelligence score of 9  or if he really is talking with the 12 Gods. He has the air of a kindly old man about him, but if he for instance catches someone stealing his purse and hasn't gotten it back after a diplomacy check or two he just might teach you a thing or two about the wrongs of stealing someone else's property - most likely with his fist.
