Kobolds are a race of reptilian humanoids that live in caves and stand about 4 feet tall and weigh about 40 pounds. People say they smell like a cross between wet dog and stagnant water, but that's just because they don't bathe. They live in tribes and dig out complex tunnel systems in whatever cave they have found themselves in, these tunnels need to constantly expand because of their extremely fast reproduction. Kobolds are omnivores and are definitely not picky eaters. They can digest bark, dirt, leather, eggshells, or their own younger siblings if they're desperate enough. They are considered mature adults at 9 years old and can live to be up to 135 years old.
PROS[
- Good at building traps and ambushes.
- They are the fastest runners, better to run away from an ambush gone horribly wrong than stay and get dead quick.
- A sense of community?
CONS
- Kobolds typically aren't too bright.
- They are easily killed in battle.
- Being reptiles they have to eat 3x the normal amount when they are cold or they will die.
Name: Jeffrey (Not a Kobold name, he calls himself that because he likes the sound)
Age: 10
Gender: Male
Appearance: Jeffrey is four feet tall and 40 pounds, which is the average for a Kobold. He is skinny like all his kin and has reddish-brown iguana-like scales all over his body. He wears some old peasant's children's clothes he found in an abandoned house. they were wrapped around a skeleton for some reason, Jeffrey will never understand humans.He also wears a belt with a bunch of alchemy ingredients in pouches. He learned to keep all his ingredients in separate pouches after his last belt blew up and left him standing pantless in a room full of people, boy was that embarrassing!
Race: Kobold
Preferred Magic: Alchemy (if that counts as magic)
Main Weapon: His light stick, his belt of alchemy supplies and his scroll of basic alchemical recipes.
Personality: Jeffrey, being 10 (most Kobolds reach maturity at the age of 9) is still very childish and unknowledgable. He is naive and innocent and does not have a bad temper, though he is afraid of anything bigger than him. He is not afraid to laugh at himself and when he messes up his alchemy he will laugh just as much as anyone else around him at the results.
Unlike other Kobolds Jeffrey cannot see in the dark so when he was kicked out of his tribe he found a walking stick, a jar and some string in the same house he found his clothes in and he built his light stick and went about filling his jar with fireflies, which he has named and feeds regularly. His fireflies are:
Donna: The biggest and brightest, she is his favorite.
Charles: Donna's little brother, he needs special treatment or he won't glow.
Darryl: Anti-social. He doesn't like the fireflies, Jeffry has contimplated letting Darryl go.
Phillip: Phillip sleeps at night and glows during the day. Silly Phillip!
Papa Don: Papa is the oldest firefly and Jeffry isn't sure why he hasn't died yet.
The light stick is also good for whackin'!
Jeffrey found his belt and scroll in the same house as his clothing and light stick, he had wandered across the house after being kicked out of his tribe. He still doesn't know how to read, so thankfully the scroll has pictures! Apparently, and Jeffrey doesn't know this, the child skeleton he found was an alchemist's apprentice who somehow died when his master disappeared and Jeffrey stumbled upon the boy's house and took what he needed, not realizing that they belonged to a dead boy (how was he supposed to know that a skeleton is a dead person? he's only ever seen the alive kind). He can use the ingredients he carries to make bombs or poisons.
