        In crew, the small person who controls every action of rowers. Although some people would call them omnipotent gods onboard shells, theyre content to be called coxswains. This person is generally more intelligent, capable, and assertive than the dumb cows pulling oars. Although the [coxswain], by nature of their size and immense intellectual power, is prone to [badgering] and physical abuse by the much larger rowers, their job is undeniably much more crucial. Coxswains have the power to get rowers to do pretty much whatever they want, through the clever combination of coercion and being able to transition from urgent whispering to drill sergeant barking to demon-like screeching from the depths of hell.
        Coxswains, thankfully for the rowers, generally use their power for good rather than evil. This rule is broken, however, during the dreaded 2k [erg test], during which the coxswain attempts to remove any incentive a rower has for living. Neglecting this 6-7 minute thrust into the bloody [bowels of hell], coxswains are pretty chill.

            The small and assertive [voice of reason] and motivation in a rowing shell. Coxswains are the brains of the boat, and are crucial to the success of the crew. Coxswains are prone to having a bit of [a Napoleon] complex while at practice, but are otherwise complete individual people. They are often mocked for their small stature, but this does not bother them too much. Good coxswains command respect and have rowers who trust in them completely. Coxswains often get a bad rep for facilitating the dreaded 2k [erg test], and their loyalty to their coaches word. Generally, coxswains are well-rounded people who you probably want to stay on the good side of.

                    All coxswian have a MAJOR [NAPOLEON COMPLEX]

                    For some reason they are always cold, even when the sun is shining and their rowers are shirtless, a [Coxswain] are bundled up in 3 jackets and a [rain coat].

                    The [coxswain] has no clue about how to row, but they still critique rowers.

                    As soon as the rowers set down the boat the dynamic changes and the Coxswain looses all power
