omg i didn't know you had fe3h ocs! you're making me want to revamp mine :D tell me about kris! what kind of unit are they?
yeah!!! when everyone made fodlansonas back in the summer of 2019 i naturally jumped on the bandwagon. and me and my boyfriend still chat about them to this day since we ended up getting so attached to ours skdjskdjskdj
but i’d be happy to tell you about kris! his full name kristopher avila cruz, the son of an archdeacon from the kingdom of faerghus known as st. hans, and a member of the blue lion house, of course. i couldn’t find a class that suited him so i decided to come up with one of my own, known as the “augur class”, which uses daggers/knives, bows, and faith + reason magic.
i won’t delve too deeply into his backstory since it’s long and complicated so i’ll just summarize it for you: he was emotionally abused by his father, st. hans, and forced to carry out a number of heinous crimes in his stead as he did not wish to dirty his own hands, namely murder. st. hans was an unscrupulous man who acquired his position by cheating and lying his way to the top while masking his atrocities by claiming it was the “will of the goddess”... basically, he shows the darker side of the church that the game briefly glosses over, like what happened with lord lonato. so, to put it bluntly, kris despises the church and the goddess and frequently goes out of his way to preach against their various misdeeds, even outright defying their orders on occasion if it goes against his personal creed, unafraid of punishment.
moreover, kris has a high sense of justice, though i wouldn’t say he’s heroic - quite the contrary, as he takes genuine pleasure in eliminating his enemies, and has a tendency to hold grudges. on top of that, kris is very standoffish - a loner wolf than felix, even, but not outwardly hostile like him. he’s the kind of person that would silently judge everyone from a distance, but will not shrink away if someone attempts to argue with him. he’ll hold his ground and sass said person into oblivion, stubbornly fearless. but he is averse to making friends, finding it “unnecessary” - or rather, kris himself believes that he is undeserving of such love, considering he never received it during his childhood and was instead treated as nothing more than a tool. and to quote his father, “a mere weapon doesn’t need to feel anything.”
oh and i should probably mention that the reason i created kris in the first place was to ship him with dimitri... sorry not sorry. but really, i’ve put a lot of thought into their supports, even going out of my way to personally write them, their history together, and their relationship in general. i really tried to integrate kris into the plot as much as possible so it didn’t feel forced, considering dimitri is the main character of his route and all. but also... krimitri canon <3
