31 Days Character Creation Challenge Day 21: ARC Doom

 Osrizzia carries the world on her shoulders. It is the world of goblinity, a diverse and new thing which makes her weep, fight and laugh. 

Many would probably call the goblin peoples a family of ‘warrior races’, skirmishers, scouts and terrifying shock troopers. This is quite reductive of course, no species of intelligent creatures are just one thing. It is however true that the goblins spent untold years as the Gray Emperor’s slave-warriors and expendable workers. They staged a great uprising which the goblins call the Us War, since it was the event which made them their own masters. Osrizzia was at the forefront. She has been an assassin, a war-dresser (creating the beautiful hairstyles goblins wear in war) and even a traveling demagogue. She created the hodge-podge dish that is murkland curry to fortify the troops. 

Of course the Gray Emperor is gone from the world now, but these ancient evils have a way of returning. This is only one of the reasons Osrizzia has for jumping at shadows. 

The other species never saw beyond the surface, and most still think of goblins as ‘foot soldiers of evil’ or some such nonsense. Osrizzia for her part keenly remembers how the species turned them away harshly or ignored them when they sought aid against their oppressor.

Osrizzia Bright [She/her] Nervous goblin folk hero who perfected the recipe for murkland curry.

QUESTIONS

What makes them different from others?

Osrizzia is the goblin other species know, the one that isn’t just part of a ‘horde’. 

There are three rumors about them. What are they and who believes it?

1: Osrizzia single-handedly slew the Gray Emperor! Scores of goblins believe this.

2: Osrizzia is poised to be the next dark overlord, a viceroy to the Archenemy. Many humans in positions of power believe this to be true, or at least distinctly possible. 

3: Osrizzia is the greatest strategist in the world. Many great generals and warlords believe this in their hearts, even if they’d react with laughter and derision if the idea was put to them. 

What was the most painful lesson your hero had to learn?

That there is no such thing as a lasting victory or final peace. Struggle is forever.
