Teacher update: I feel like a villain from a cartoon. The laughter of teenagers gives me migraines, and I no longer feel guilt when giving bad grades to kids that sleep through my lessons.

First day as a Biology Teacher tomorrow - hopefully the kids will be able to read my handwriting.
While the other gods and essential made a grand entrance, Kozo appeared similarly to his thought process - simply. He materialized out of thin air, his birth being marked by the ringing bell. Almost instinctively, Kozo understood his purpose as he materialized - Help the mortals! After all, if his birthplace was modeled after Mortal architecture, than they surely were wiser than they appeared - and even if they weren't, Kozo almost couldn't resist the thought of helping anyone he saw. Still - now wasn't the time for that!
Surrounding him was the sea of nothingness, the blank white expanse that ecompassed nearly the entire Divine Realm - within view, however, was the massive structure known as the Highest Court. It was the only thing that stood out - and Kozo knew instinctively that it was where he needed to go.
After flying for what felt like hours, but was really only a few minutes, Kozo finally made it to the doorway of the Highest Court - which was already open. Sitting inside were 2 individuals - the one taking all of the attention was the essential, Zhystkrexas. Kozo avoided speaking - not only because of the being's menacing aura, but also because Kozo did not feel confident in even attempting to speak the beings name. He found it hard to say, and Kozo's mouth was unsuited for such complex speech. The other figure, feminine and similarly intimidating, was also sitting in the front. Kozo was unaware of her name - perhaps he only knew of the essentials?
No matter the case, Kozo did not enjoy the presence of either of them - both had a strange air about them, which caused him to find them... unappealing, to be honest. As such, Kozo chose to sit near the back of the court, using his small size to take up less space and be less noticeable.
The light was faint against his eyelids - the young goblin could barely see the figure in front of her. The dripping of water drops could be heard faintly, and the scenery showed that she was in a cavern of some sort. As she focused on the figure, she slowly saw it come into his view - her eyes were adjusting to the bright light. It was a shade of green, shorter than the average man, and wrinkles covered the creature like cracks in a porcelain doll. As she stared at it, a completely foreign word interjected into her mind.
Goblin.
A strange word. Foreign, alien, and almost threatening. A word you don't want to be in the same room with. Yet, at the same time, the young goblin was almost instinctively familiar with it and it's concept.
It was a shock to see a being like this, and it took every fiber in his being to keep his eyes open long enough to hear the beast - before he immediately fell unconscious.
Day Three
The wrinkly Goblin had fed the young goblin the last few days, along with the other small green creatures. She was gifted clothes on his second day of existence - not a necessity, but it was nice to have the most minor of protections. Even though she had only been alive for three days, she was already decently tall - far taller than the human equivalent (Not that she knew about the humans). Briefly, she was shocked with her own growth - a few days prior, she was unable to even stand, let alone walk around.
Soon, another goblin ran by the female goblin, and she jumped slightly back - the goblin was about her age, and was running full force. More than a few times, she tripped horribly and cut herself. The young goblin shook her head - Of course they would have lots of energy after growing so quickly, but that was simply foolish. No sense in wasting energy - especially considering their current abode was a cave. It took several minutes, but the young goblin soon mastered walking without tripping - taking it at an easy pace. She probably couldn't run as well as the other female goblin, but at least she wouldn't be complaining about a hungry stomach.
As the female ran outside, the young goblin noticed a small gathering form around the elder - even a new born knew the vital nature of knowledge, and how it would assist her. The first thing that needed to be done was to gather information. She had to know everything she could about where she was, and why she was there - the sooner she got answers, the sooner she could get back to doing whatever needed to be done.
Shield (Round & Equipped) Full Plate Armor (Equipped) Longsword [Uncommon] (Equipped) Rosary of Courage (Equipped)
With a single slash, the guard nearly killed Alisea - Theo's blood ran cold as the massive gash spread across her torso. He promised to protect them, and one of them was dying fight in front of him... Luckily, the health stopped just as it hit 20 - Reylan noticed immediately, as did Karma. Thankfully, the healer raised her back up almost immediately - and as her health rose, so did Theo's anger. Why the hell was she thinking, bringing the enemy close to her?! In no game had Theo seen a character with so little health want to be so close to an opponent - it was ridiculous. And to think, she was the one who was angry at Dubstepp for lying about his class - at least Dubstepp didn't do something so risky during a boss fight. He was going to have to talk with her after they made it back to town. With her health back in the green, Theo turned his attention back to the boss - just in time for a fist to smack him in the face.
The punch completely knocked the wind out of him - how could it not have? He was knocked all the way across the arena, and only stopped when he hit Reylan. The impact didn't really hurt Theo all that much, and he was honestly more worried he hurt Reylan when their healer was already so low on mana. As Reylan and Theo made it to their feet, Reylan ordered Theo to go back and be the damage sponge.
"Don't gotta tell me twice..."
The only problem was that nothing he had could do anything. Status effects didn't work on the thing, and Theo sure as hell couldn't out pace the others in damage enough to gain the aggro... Still, he ran back towards the boss.
Some of the others were being healed by Karma, but Theo knew that they should start buckling down on damage - the longer they spent licking their wounds, the more the herald could lick his own. And he was a hell of a lot better at it. Three arrows passed from behind, shot off by Reylan when he finished his orders. From another direction, fire and ice flew towards the creature. With so many projectiles flying, it wasn't safe to tackle the monster... And there was no easy way to gain aggro. To minimize the damage to others, Theo did something he had just chastised Alisea for - he did something risky.
Even with 1050 HP, he didn't feel comfortable doing what he was about to do. It would drag all the attention onto him, and the Herald was an incredibly heavy hitter - there was a chance that it may be able to finish him off. Still, it would protect the others long enough to get damage in, and Karma had just gotten all his mana back - By distracting the enemy, even if he had to run and be healed, the battle would be over very quickly - Karma would only have to heal Theo if the plan worked.
Sheathing his sword and moving his shield to his back, Theo grasped onto the Herald's legs - upon doing so, he gripped as tightly as possible. If the Herald wanted to escape, it would have to pry Theo off of him - and even then, he'll be sure to have all of the Herald's attention. With his back faced upwards, the Herald would have to either reach around the shield to hit him, or simply tear him off - and with the Herald's strength, he wouldn't be surprised if it could tear him off. Holding his breath in preparation of the hit, Theo was thankful he was wearing full plate - at least no part of his body was exposed to the monster.
Summary: Get off Reylan Run towards Herald and sheath weapon/shield Grapple Herald's legs Hold on tight
Appearance: Standing at a slightly smaller stature of 3'8, Doku has short black hair, very sharp ears, and brown eyes. Her skin is Light Green, similar to Hemlock in shade. Her voice can change tone massively, from sickly sweet to venomous. She is average in all respects, and her physique is similar to most goblins - only difference being her legs, which are slowly being developed thanks to her penchant to run away from most fights. She has no defining birthmarks or extraordinary characteristics, but her hands seem smaller than most.
Personality: Doku, above all else, is a survivor. She rarely enters an encounter unless she has support, and always makes sure she has an escape route at the ready. As expected, she relies on running a majority of the time - to the point where she would run from most foes immune to poisons. She is incredibly proficient in the use of most chemicals, having been a leading scientist in the field of chemistry in her past life. As such, she prefers to rely on these poisons in combat - throwing fragile containers of toxin at an opponent only for them to explode onto the opponent with great results.
She normally acts cheerful, innocent and loving, greeting other goblins and generally being a kind individual. She rarely says anything crude while acting as such, and is a far cry from the cruel and malicious individual from her past life. Should someone feel she turned over a new leaf, they would be horribly mistaken.
In reality, she is more akin to the venomous viper - she acts harmless until something annoys or threatens her, which is when she bites. She is really a cynical, selfish, sadistic, and violent man in the body of a much smaller goblin, and would love nothing more than to study his toxins in peace. She carries some bad habits from her past life, the main one being her chain smoking (a large difficulty when in a world without cigarettes). She is glad that she has another chance at life, and is eager to begin her experimentation once more - with a new, younger body to assist her.
Past Life History: Born in 1922, young Hans Spitzer quickly gained respect and renown as a chemist - he was also recognized for the nationalism he had for his home country of Germany. At 23, when the Nazi regime fell, Hans left the country - he knew of the horrifying result of wartime defeat on an economy. Instead, he moved to the country of Brazil, where he lived for another three years. After those three years, however, he quickly realized the lack of work he had. He had quickly moved to the country, liquidated his funds, and exchanged them for Brazilian Reals - He spent every day after that experimenting in his lab. He soon set out for a job, getting hired by the AM corporation - a group motivated to discover the ultimate panacea, but also making a large profit from the chemical warfare industry.
Originally experimenting on rats, Hans quickly found that he enjoyed his chemical weapon research significantly more than his other work. Seeing the rat curl up and pass away was enjoyable - to enjoyable. Hans had always kept himself distant from his work, and refused to become infatuated with such a disturbed concept. He was a man of science, not some fool who tortured small animals for fun. With his workload from the AM corporation slowly increasing, however, he had no choice but to return to his work.
Even having told himself this, he still enjoyed the process of poisoning the rats too much. Deciding to deal with the problem after he completed his jobs, he slowly increased the size of his subjects. First he used larger rats, then squirrels, and then moved on to pigs. The AM corporation provided funds for these subjects, so Hans eventually decided to go big - At the age of 33, he injected a chimpanzee with a toxin of his own invention. It died 10 minutes later.
Still not pleased with the results, Hans used more and more subjects, faster and faster as he made more headway. The AM corporation eventually moved him over to the Panacea project, seeing as he was already so skilled - With a cut in funding for subjects, this sent him back to his rats.
Ten years passed.
The urge never left his body - he wanted to experiment more, but he resigned himself to his current project. After all, it paid far more than his prior one. He used this reasoning for 30 more years. He retired, staying in Brazil until his final days. The country became more of a home than Germany was. Hans Spitzer died at 79, a chain smoker, single, and with no family. Half his wealth and all of his worldly possessions were given to the local zoo, as Hans felt guilty whenever he passed the Chimpanzee exhibit. The other half of his wealth went to the pianist at the bar he frequented, a young man who Hans had listened to on many nights when he was alone and drunk because he was alone. He died in his sleep peacefully - too peaceful for a man as cruel as him. The next time he opened his eyes, he was no longer a 79 year old man - he was a goblin in a new world.
Skill - Toxin Resistance: Thanks to her constant exposure to poisons and toxic chemicals during her past life, Doku has been born with a complete immunity to toxic materials and chemicals in her next. This includes toxins in all forms - gas, liquid, and solid. For clarification, Toxins and Poisons are chemical in nature - Radiation and disease still effects her fully, snake venom would be protected against.

The slash, as expected, was meager. It was far more wise for Theo to focus on defense, just as Reylan soon called out. The slash had hurt considerably, but Theo was prepared - he had expected it since he casted aggravate. Unfortunately, Aggravate only worked for a few seconds - after it was done, thee beast leaped towards Polak and rag dolled the trainer. Theo glanced at the blue bar in the top right of his vision, seeing that only 100 MP remained - a sight that worried him slightly. How long would that last in aggravate time - 20 seconds? 10? Theo knew that the party could survive the fight, but he needed to learn a new aggro gathering spell or action soon...
Reylan was still letting loose shots from his bow, but he clearly could have fired off more had he not been directing everyone. Somebody needed to direct the group, and Theo was glad that someone took that up - especially considering this was their first boss. Karma, meanwhile was running low on mana - with such little stores left, it was good that the guards were going to die soon, and that Theo still had 75% of his health left. Theo had to talk to the rest of the mages in the party about getting at least Healing beam in order to lessen the stress placed on Karma...
"Be careful - Karma is pretty low on Mana!"
Theo, of course, was unaware that Karma still had a blue and red potion, and was becoming nervous that the only healer was running out of their second most important resource (right after their health). Because of his focus on the Herald, Theo did not notice Alisea and Paralyze attacking the first guard - Theo did notice Paralyze begin to mutilate the herald, however.
Theo quickly moved in front of Aster, who took a large hit from the Herald - Theo didn't have much more health than her, but he had significantly more armor. She was agile, and would surely be able to attack and retreat behind Theo's ironclad defense.
"C'mon big guy - If you don't like magic that much, attack the guy that's taunting ya with it!"
Quickly, Theo cast Aggravate once more - his second-to-last casting of the spell. He braced himself for the expected hit, and continued to brace himself for the hits that followed.
Should the herald attempt to turn his attention to the others, however, Theo would quickly use the gift he was given by the admin - he would don the Abyssal Mask, and make the Herald realize who the real threat here was.
Summary: Move in front of Aster. Cast Aggravate. Guard. (If Herald continues to attack Theo after Aggravate is over) Continue Guarding. (If Herald does not continue to attack after Aggravate is finished) Use Abyssal Mask to scare Fenrir's Herald.
Appearance: Prac is three feet tall, and is average in most respects for other goblins. He is bald, and has significantly more muscle than normal, but nothing extraordinary. His skin is dark green, and his voice is gruff. He is 5 years old, and his upper body is far more developed than his lower body. This was due to his constant training in his bow, rather common in terms of quality for most goblin weaponry. He lacks any scars, due to his preference for ranged combat.
Abilities: Prac is an incredibly gifted Archer, spending large amounts of his free time fletching new arrows. Other than his skills as an archer and fletcher, he is decent at climbing, as he prefers to stay in treetops. He is fairly cowardly, however, and is unlikely to fight or confront anything excessively dangerous without an ally - and him entering melee combat is preposterous. Additionally, his greed gets the better of him a majority of the time - sometimes even overpowering his cowardice.
Clothing: Like most males, Prac lacks a shirt or any torso coverings, and he wears hide leggings. On his back is a poorly made quiver, capable of holding 10 arrows. His most unique feature are his bracers and hat - the bracers were handmade, as releasing his bowstring constantly hurt his arms. The hat, which is wide brim and felt, was found on a human corpse while Prac was hunting. He lied, saying he killed the human, as he is very prideful.
