As stated previously, I will make a profile if selected.
I try not to make characters and apply with that character over and over, but to find a game that sounds fun, and to build a character for THAT game. If I made a profile for every character I've submitted, and posted using that profile, I would have over 40 distinct profiles so far, and the number would keep growing. I don't want that administrative overhead.
My final presentation for evaluation is in post 191 (10 up from the bottom of thread page 4).
The character is Grimgisli, son of Grimvuldr, from Irrsen.
EDIT: And, yes, I realize that failing to follow the GM's instructions can be enough to eliminate my character from consideration.
EDIT2: Linked above TWICE, once at the post number, and once at the character's name. My thanks to Dorvren for the knock to the head to try to do it that way.

Name: Bighead Inkyskin
Race: Goblin
Class: Wizard (Conjuration (Teleportation))
Alignment: TN
Background: Bighead Inkyskin was born into the goblin tribe of the Long-Necks. Most of the little green devils prided themselves on their very tall and very thin necks, often laughing and saying "Long-necks see tall-folks coming first!". Bighead unfortunately was born with almost no neck, but was gifted with an abnormally huge head (Balloon-Headed racial trait). While his mother was irritated and tried to eat him, Chief Dogtail had a brainwave. Bigger head. Bigger head meant bigger soul, and bigger brains. So, Chief Dogtail took the young nipper into his hut and taught him to read, figuring the boy would be able to learn more words than other goblins before his soul rotted. Time passed and Bighead grew into a powerful wizard with knowledge of many, many words. Lots of Long-Necks disliked and feared him for this, but he summoned fire a few times and slaughtered some tall-folks when they came with axes and that, coupled with poor goblin long-term memory, kept him safe and moderately popular. Dogtail, at Bighead's pleading, sent him out into the wide world to learn more words, on the condition that he would come back and teach them to chief when he was done.
Smarter than other goblins, Bighead had a different idea about his huge cranium. He decided that all souls were of equal size; but, with his big head, maybe he could fit two in there! So he made himself a soul from the words in the chief's books, which he stole from tall-legs, and used that to store and cast his magic words. After his first few months out of the village and among the tall-folks, Bighead's word-soul became even more different to his goblin-soul, developing its own tongue and thoughts. Good thing Bighead managed to keep control and switch between the two, otherwise he might not go to the great god Hadregash's side when he died.
Bighead has made his way to Irrisen to learn about the magics of ice and snow. Having come from a temperate region, he is intrigued by the newness and powers of the north.
Personality: Switches between two personalities, Goblin and Wizard. Former is loud, speaks pidgin-common and delights in fire and destruction. Latter speaks in smooth perfect common and rejoices in words and experiencing non-goblin culture. Happy-go-lucky
Trait: Adaptive Magic
Story Feat: Dynasty Founder. Favoured by the chief, the more Bighead learns, the more he is determined to claim rulership of the tribe and steer it towards glory and prosperity for all goblinkind. Some day, but not today or tomorrow; not until he has gained power and wisdom.
Bighead isn't evil; think like the Hulk, with Bruce Banner in complete control. Vast majority of the time he's charming and highly interested in everyone and everything, but when he feels its appropriate... WIZARD SMASH. Now-
Goals: Discover as much magical knowledge as he can, learn more delightful human grammar and vocabulary, discover how human and other societies work
Fears: That all goblins are doomed to violent extinction, cows and cats, organized religion
Ally: Aside from Manylegs, his centipede familiar- Trow, a minor half-orc merchant who travels around selling gear to places most traders refuse to visit, such as Bighead's goblin tribe.
Acquaintance: Svelina Alda, a travelling herbalist/apothecary he traveled with on the road to Taladane. She quite took to the little goblin.
[b]Enemy: Irra the Putrid, his mother; she detests him and suspects that he has or will have ambitions to rule the tribe.

@ divineshadow: This is ShadowyFox's bard.
Started at 10, 12, 12, 7, 15, 15 & after building to the 30 point, it became 10, 18, 13, 13, 12, 18, organized as you see in the profile. Thoughts? Suggestions for improvement? Questions?
Very much looking forward to seeing who comes through.
As far as the story feat, I feel like I didn't tie it in well enough. Thinking True Love, because of his desire to share his life with someone who can trust and love who he REALLY is.
