Here's my character. He's a remake of Arjun, an older character of mine. I use the name often in RPs, not just for kobolds.
Name: Arjun
Age: 24
Sex: Male
History: Born with sorcerous powers, Arjun was expected to become the next shaman of his tribe, possibly the next chief. Instead, he took a much easier route, using his inborn fire magic to help with mining. An expert at using flame to burn out new tunnels at a record pace, he quickly proved his worth, and was allowed to keep some of the metal for himself. In time, he took to trading some of it to surface customers, and works as a mage, miner, and merchant whenever he wants to. Rather than work and live for the benefit of his tribe, he increasingly lives life for himself. Not that he is unkind to others; he treats his friends very well.
While he works hard when he has to, Arjun is fairly laid-back and easy-going for a kobold. His magical powers ensure that he is an asset to his tribe and so he is tolerated in spite of his eccentricities. Like most (possibly all) kobolds, he never uses footwear, but unlike most kobolds he has developed a taste for surface goods such as wine and fur rugs. Most of his clothes are from the surface as well.
Equipment: Outside of his clothes, nothing but a coin purse and a dagger. Arjun fights with his spells, climbs using his claws, and if he needs to mine, he uses his fire to burn out whatever is needed. He's hardly ever used a pick or shovel, but he is certainly capable of using either if he has to.
Picture: (Yes, he is rubbing the sole of his left foot with the tip of his tail.)
