Oh, also for the most part they don’t understand whatever language the human speak. Like, at all. Maybe some of the most well-travelled goblin raiders would’ve picked up on some of it, but only very few. Hence why my character, now having grown up with gob language and at least knowing his old human language could probably put it together well enough to stumble his way through a conversation.

Ok, so not much in the way of wood then? And also dang, that means my original plan of hydra farming probably won’t be much of a thing for a bit.

Anyway, what I’ve got so far for goblin lore is really just a lot of the usual stuff. They give birth to a hell of a lot of children at a time, they reach adulthood fast, and any that survive childhood usually die by the age of twenty, but nobody knows if that last bit is meant to happen. There’s actually a common joke among humans that goblins are secretly immortal, it’s just that nobody will ever find out for sure because it seems like a hundred percent of them die by being killed in battle or eaten by predators, so nobody actually even knows what an old goblin looks like, let alone how old they have to get to be one. The oldest goblin ever recorded was thought to have been thirty-three when they got eaten by a drake. Living that long has earned him a spot in goblin legend, both for his own tribe and among all the others, which is a really rare feat because they usually don’t interact much beyond fighting over territory or resources.

There’s probably more I came up with but I’ve forgotten it for now.

Cool cool. Would it be ok if I did a little worldbuilding for goblin stuff too? Because I have a few ideas I totally haven’t blatantly stolen that I might use for them if I can.

So yeah, you said it was fine to have been summoned a little bit before the start of the rp, or in a different location to where the others are, right? Because I feel like it might be best to start my guy with his actual goblin clan.

Also, on a related note, the inhospitable badlands the non-humans are forced to live in. Are they like, the properly barren dustbowl type places I think of when I hear badlands, or are they just all kinds of different environments but they’ve just been too dangerous for humans to expand into yet?

Nice! That means I get to play a real life game of Civilisation and change that!

So, with with my goblin, do you think it’s likely people would just assume he’s a threat the second they realise he is one? Because if not, that’s fine, but I’m kinda hoping they would.

Please, you just wait til goblin chef/artificer shows up. You’ll have so many sausages you won’t know what to do with!

Because cooking, not because of other, honestly rather harmful goblin stereotypes.

Pretty dang neat, that.

Most RPs I’ve been in tend to have one, but it’s up to you.

Cool, thanks, I’ll try to keep you updated.
