Goblin Quest

Aya burst into a fit of giggles along with the other small humanoid creatures that crowded in her vicinity as a stone once again clattered against the cave wall. Goblins she'd tentatively labelled the creatures, and more importantly, her siblings, at least as far as she come to guess since waking up only two days earlier. It was easy for her to play along with the antics of the other goblins, she felt almost used to this kind of behaviour, and as long as she did so it seemed they were content to ignore her in favour of their rock-based games, something that suited the female goblin just fine.

Aya wasn't really paying all that much attention to her sibling's games, instead, she was stuck deep in thought. She'd noticed the lack of food far earlier than most of her siblings but had wasted her time since dwelling over what to do rather than taking action. Should she leave the cave and search the forest she could see beyond for food? She hadn't a clue what was out there, it could be dangerous. Maybe she should just stay put with her siblings and hope that older goblins would show up with food? There was no guarantee that would happen... A pang of hunger reminded Aya that she probably wouldn't get to have the luxury of indecisiveness for much longer and it wasn't just her either, growling stomachs could be heard all throughout the cave.

Breaking off from the rock clacking group Aya wondered to the cave entrance, her overlarge eyes scanning through the trees as if to get a better idea of what dangers might be lurking out there. Without anyone to tell them what plants were safe to eat or not Aya figured they'd probably end up needing to hunt something and looking back to the group of goblins still clacking rocks together didn't exactly fill her with much confidence as to her sibling's capabilities. Though maybe that wasn't a fair assessment, given she'd been doing the same up until the point she noticed the lack of food. Still, what could they do? For the most part, the goblins weren't exactly physical powerhouses and lacked the tools to make up for that deficit or the time to make those tools. They were noisy and seemingly less than bright as well. Really the only things the goblins seemed to have going for them was their numbers.

"Maybe we could chase something into a hole we dig then bash it with rocks while it's down? or set a tripwire for the same effect...", Aya thought out loud, "That would require us to be the ones chasing it though... I guess we could try getting something to chase us into a trap, but that seems like a really bad idea...".

The goblin girl absentmindedly moved to chew on her thumb as she continued to muse to herself, pretty much immediately regretting the action as she recoiled from where her teeth had pierced the skin of her thumb. That was a habit she'd need to break.

Goblin Quest

Aya

Name: Aya
Age: Day 3
Gender: Female
Race: Goblin
Level: 18

Appearance: Aya is a rather scrawny goblin, with large droopy ears, dull green skin and messy black hair. Where many goblins might fall towards the hideous or even monstrous ends of the appearance spectrum, Aya instead falls on the cuter side of things, though in the monstrous sort of way that ends up being creepy to most other races rather than endearing, like a demented interpretation of one of their children. When around others Aya is most often be found with a massive grin plastered upon her face, a trait that between her maw of pointed teeth and overly large, ever staring eyes, only serving to further sell the image of a demented child.

Personality: Aya is a bit of an oddball, the kind of person who struggles knowing how she should interact with people she doesn't know and copes by presenting herself as a weirdo with far more energy than she actually has. When she's alone or otherwise around people she knows Aya's personality is far more bearable, becoming calmer and more thoughtful, outside of such circumstances however she can be pretty hard to deal with.
Aya is also the sort to think things through to a fault, going past anything helpful and instead crippling herself with indecision and doubt over simple tasks, leaving things to the very last minute out of fear of missing something important, and agonising over how she could have done things differently after even the smallest of mistakes.

Past Life: Aya was a student in her past life, nearing the end of her school years when she died. Her life had been relatively uneventful up until that point. Even with her colourful personality people just learned to filter out her oddities and ignore her, leaving her to a quiet school life with little of interest ever happening. The most noteworthy part of her life, if any at all, was the discontent she'd felt towards the end. She wasn't stupid or anything like that, quite the opposite actually, but the quirks of her personality made it hard for her to get much done and lead her to dwell on and amplify her failings in her mind, while a lack of any real social bonds had made it difficult for her to vent her dissatisfaction. Even her death, in the end, was uneventful, she just went to sleep one day and never woke up.

Don't think you can hide your time-travelling now.

Goblin Quest

Yep, that's exactly what I was going for.

Goblin Quest

I know I was a little slow and you've already got the first IC up, but I'm hoping I'm not too late anyway. @RC3

And what if any influence does being reborn as a goblin have on one's psychology?

Goblin Quest

Are you open for a fourth? @RC3

Main Character Wars!

I am still here! I'll draft something up when I've got the chance.

CONTAINMENT: Welcome to Facility B

Felix Jones — MY-1801-FJ

The boy watched the interaction play out in front of him, trying his hardest not to be noticed from where he stood. He had briefly considered positioning himself between the teen and older woman when the former of the two had expressed some measure of hostility towards the latter, but in the end, his shyness had gotten the better of him and he’d decided not to try and intervene unless something actually happened. Fortunately, it didn’t come to that, as the boy’s shadowy friend had moved further down the corridor, drawing with him the attention of the rest of the group.

"Please tell me I am not the only one that sees that.", the boy was confused when he heard the teens words. Why would she be the only one to see his friend? Not knowing how to respond the boy opted not to instead rushing to catch up with the aforementioned friend. It was only then that the boy began to hear the voices that his friend must have been reacting to when he’d moved down the corridor just moments before. One was enough, why did they have to keep encountering new people?

The boy noted the appearances of the new group as he reluctantly followed his friend closer to them, not really finding much of note within their appearances, at least not by his own standards, save for the colour of the patches they had on their clothing. Red not yellow. Did that mean they were more dangerous or something? The boy felt like that might be close, but with his memories missing as they were he couldn’t quite tell and trying to work it out in his head only caused his mind to once again spiral into frustrating confusion, prompting him to squeeze the stuffed animal his friend had handed him to calm himself.

His confusion was short-lived however, being interrupted and immediately replaced with different questions as the smaller of the two newcomers introduced themselves and their companion. “You know your names?”, the boy asked, hoping that even though they’d just admitted to not knowing anything about this place that they might at least have some answers for him to go off, he definitely didn't much like being confused.
