"Choompa talk, Choompa speak his mind words and Choompa get pushed down. Hehehe!... Choompa get back up."
Character Info:
Age: 15
Height: 3'1"
Weight: 36lbs
He's called "Slipfoot" because of his slipperiness to escape danger and he's prone to falling out of trees.
"Poopadoop" - A derogatory insult that Choompa likes to use for those he doesn't like. (It means "Big Piece of S**t")
Character Appearance:
Choompa is a small goblin with short black hair, a tiny button nose and large, floppy ears. His skin is a faint green with mottled dark green patches all over, particularly on his scalp, stomach and feet. He wears ragged clothes made of tough leather and animal hide, his handwraps are made from scraps of cotton and silk and the large, elongated red bandana on his head was made from stitching together several human-sized socks. Choompa always seems to be looking rough, dirty and generally scruffy, but despite that he doesn't seem to smell too much. Most of the things that Choompa carries has often been scavenged or stolen from others and never looks in pristine condition.
Character Personality:
Traits: Excitable, Trigger-happy, Immature, Animal Lover, Slippery
Quirks:
- Regularly talks in third person.
- His ears wiggle and flap as an indication when he gets excited.
- Has a very bouncy aura about him, alongside his bouncy gait.
While he does what he's told, Choompa doesn't enjoy doing it. He grumbles, he complains and he even curses the authority figures when they're not listening. The young goblin likes to climb tree, dig holes and make friends with animals and he often tries to play tricks on the other members in the tribe, but often fails and is forced to run and hide up a tree. Choompa would prefer to be an independent goblin, working for himself and surviving on his own; his previous experience with people and other goblinoids in particular has left him pretty sour about social interactions. Regardless, he gets shy around pretty people and has a sparkle in his eye around pretty items. He tries to carve wooden objects so he can replicate the pretty things he discovers, but is a long way off from mastery of woodcarving and he often tosses his creations away in disappointment. Choompa is often sitting alone, up in a tree, in a field or in some bushes, because he can't seem to make friends or have people NOT want to beat him up. As a result, he's quick on his feet and even quicker to pull the trigger on his cherished crossbow.
Likes: Trees, animals, cotton socks, roast chicken
Dislikes: Bugbears, being beaten up,
Character Background:
Born into a litter of 6, killed 2 of them just to live, but was still abandoned anyway when he came of age. He lacked any form of skillset and was often quite rude or slow of wit. As a result, he has been forced into servitude with a goblinoid tribe, taken over by a bugbear chieftain. Here he was forced to learn quickly or be killed off. During his time in the tribe, Choompa developed a knack for staying out of the way of his betters; either by hiding in deep underbrush, or scaling the tallest trees in the forest. Choompa naturally favored ranged weaponry and even managed to steal himself a crossbow, and as he grew older he became in tune with the woodlands around him, so much so that he started befriending animals. But unfortunately the chieftain is a very cruel person; not only beating up Choompa when he could catch him, but also stealing and killing his pets. Since this streak of animal murder began, Choompa has harbored a bitter hatred of the chieftain. It's been broiling for the past few years now and Choompa has been looking for an opportunity to escape from the tribe's clutches. It drew Choompa's curiosity when a human warrior by the name of Buttfunnel was captured and dragged into the camp, and that started turning the gears in Choompa's head...
