Protects Her Kin - Chieftess
Player: GathersIngredients
Background: Protects Her Kin is a compassionate goblin who strives to keep others from harm, tossing even herself in the way, if need may be. If she one day ever gets to be a mother, she will be like the proverbial lioness protecting her cubs. SheÔÇÖs also eager to help others to the best of her abilities, and has shown interest in spiritual matters, healing and such, too.
Write - Teller
Player: Rodgeir
Background: Write was born as a slave already. Writes mom was also born in capitivity, but was sold to a wizard. Writes mom was pregnant when she was sold, so the Wizard Jenkins found himself unexpectedly with two Goblins, when he really only needed the one. So Writes mom (whom was named Reed) was learning skills alongside Write. The Wizard Jenkins wasnt a very mean wizard, but he had bought Reed as she was able to read and write. So Write has been learning the skills of reading and writing and mixing since birth.
But the Wizard Jenkins wasnt the most successful of Wizards, and Write had been assisting him.. and well while Write was outside filling up a bucket of water, Reed and the Wizard Jenkins were sort of blown up. Write has found herself on the ship and isnt very happy with that, as she had actually quite enjoyed her time with the Wizard Jenkins and doesnt have the slightest idea about Goblin Culture.

Player: Patdragon
Background:
Silver Curse
Player: Burns
Background: Silver was free a majority of her life, because she stayed near her village of Blitz. She always found her name as odder than the others, and never sure what it means. One day people ransacked her village and there was not enough food for anybody. Nobody was hurt in that exchange fortunally. Silver decided to return the favor. She was being as careful as possible when the urge of stealing some coins hit her. She did not need the coins, but they called out to her. She tried to ignore it but her hands were already in the pouch. She was seen and she ran as fast as possible. She got caught and was shackled . She became a slave through those actions and was sold.
Treasures Life
Player: Narshe
Background: Treasures had an unusual upbringing for a goblin; she was raised in a clan of extremely pacifist goblins that attempted always to live in harmony with nature in a secluded valley. She was taught, like the rest of her people, to respect the right of all things to life. However, this attitude was not shared by the humans that finally discovered their village. Within a few years, all of her people had either been enslaved or killed by adventurers and profiteers.
Sold into servitude, Treasures discovered that the life she needed to respect most of all was her own, and that of her fellow goblins. Survival is not something to be taken for granted in a world that is as cruel as it is for goblins. However, she still struggles with her former pacifism, though she is prepared to do what it takes to survive.
Dances in Storms [Replaced
Spreads the Word on Turn 17]
Player: BadgeAddict
Deceased
Background: Dances was a part of a rare sight on the great ocean, Goblin Pirates. He was one of the fiercest, meanest, craziest pirate to ever sail the world. In the midst of a battle to loot yet another merchant ship a storm broiled up from the west. The rain began to fall as the battle raged on. After a short time, as it always was, the fight was over and Dances and his crew was victorious once more. As Dances raised his sword in the pelting rain something ordinary happened. A lightning bolt arced down from the sky and struck his sword as he waved it proudly above his head. The result was catastrophic for poor Dances. Dances was thrown from the ship, which was lucky for him, because then the ship erupted into a inferno of fire. When Dances awoke, he found himself in a small cage on a large ship. As he looked about his surroundings he found he was painted pink...strange. As a human walks by he calls out to him "hello". The sailor kicks out and scrawls "shut yer mouth spreads-the-word". Having forgotten everything about himself spreads realized that he had been given a name. Early the next morning, a violent storm came out of nowhere and began to toss the ship about. Later..much later, spreads opened his eyes to his new surroundings and started to explore. It wasn't until later when the ant attacked him and he hit his head as he fell backwards. A memory blossomed in spreads brain....your name is Dances-in-Storms. As the memories of his true name came flooding back he remembered something else, he had been painted pink. Dances started to rub vigorously at his skin and as he did, big blotches of pink paint begin to fall off of his body. When the pink paint finally settled to the ground, a new pilgrim stood where spreads once stood...Dances-in-Storms and he wasn't pink, he was orange.
Only one way to find out...
