Chrome

Kuromu (クロム), or Chrome, is a player of NewWorld Online who decided to master his great shield. After Maple approaches him and compliments his shield, he takes her to meet Iz.

Kuromu receives an invitation and joins Maple Tree as Kanade and Kasumi were added to the guild.

Appearance
He is an adult male with brown eyes and short brown hair. He has a large and muscular body that makes armor more suitable than light clothing.

His armor is maroon and is a great shielder. He wears a head piece that protects his forehead and jaw. He is not too heavily armored, only in a tunic/garb with a breastplate, shoulder plates and boots accompanying it.

Personality
He is a caring and honest person who is open-minded and serious. Outside of combat, he gives off a strong parental vibe.

Kuromu is amiable and humorous. He is happy to help new users, as he introduced Maple to Iz. While he does have something of a competitive side to him, as he is shown to be self-conscious of how much Maple outshines him, his dedication and honesty far outweigh this, as he and Maple have been helping each other out for almost as long as Maple has been playing New World Online.

Description
Kuromu is very dedicated to advancing the great shielder meta, as he has remarked that he is "probably the number one player in terms of dying".

Due to his new armor and ranking from the first event, he is more famous than he knows.
