1) How do others make you feel? Do you like being the center of attention or bring left alone; is there a such thing as a stranger to you or do you even know what it's like to have a friend. Things like that.

Typically, others make me uncomfortable. I usually try to hide from them, either physically or emotionally. But I can and do open up to my friends.

2) Name one thing you value most. Then name one thing you could lose. These could be ideals, physical possessions, relationships, etc..

I value my life. I could lose all else.

3) What do you fear? What do you hate?

I fear not being able to control myself. I hate myself when I wake up after an uncontrolled night.

4) What do you desire? What do you love?

I desire to rise up above the filth and grime if my people to do good in the world. I love having the strength to do it.

5) You have (at least) one secret. What is it?

I can't always control myself when I change.

6) Have you done something Notable? What was it?

I stole a lock of hair from the Faerie Queen! Ha! Beat that!

7) Are you in charge or do you let others take that roll? Do you rebuke authority or revel in it?

I let others take charge, but when push comes to shove I do my own thing. I don't hate authority unless authority uses it just to prove they in charge.

8) Do you follow through on your promises and obligations? Or do you delay or avoid? Do you feel guilty when you don't uphold them?

I only hope up to promises that happen to align with my goals. I'm on a mission here, and I ain't got time for regret.

9) What are your opinions on Good and Evil? Do they exist? Or is it all shades of Grey? Where do you see yourself?

Yes. It exists. I'm on the good side, and I'm going to stop Evil. Humans, orcs, goblins, all the rest - they don't always know what they're doing. Sometimes they're influenced by evil and can't control themselves. They deserve our forgiveness. But the creatures of evil need to be stomped back behind the Veil.

The Goblin Story

As a Goblin, life is s+#*. Let me tell you. S!!% on by the Fey. S%## on by the humans. Even the f*~$ing orcs s!+# on you, and when that backwards slave-ass race looks down on you, you know it bad. But hey, at least I didn't love in the f@*@ing sewers, wallowing in their literal s&&$.

I grew up in Crossroads. Ma raised us up on the outskirts, in the trash heaps. Sure, people think it's bad, but there's treasures there like you wouldn't believe! Pa was a miner - worked at the Crossings Landfill. What? You don't think the landfill has mines? Ha! You humans are dumber than you think we are! I spent years in those mines, searching for discarded treasures. You'd be amazed at what we'd find. We made good reselling what we found back to the humans. You'd be amazed as the trash they'd buy off us. And it was more than enough to feed me and my siblings. We loved good. But, it just wasn't enough, ya know? I needed something more.

And then one day it happened.

Cack. He's another goblin, like me. We grew up together. It was his idea. It was his plan. Ya see, he was the one who saw it. A doorway to Alfeihm. I'd dreamed of this place. We knew we wasn't welcome, considering that the Queen herself threw out out of goblinkind, but we just had to take the chance. We snuck in. We did the unthinkable. It was I that did it. Cut off a lock of her hair. Yes! Her! F*#@ing her! The queen herself! She was asleep! And I cut her hair! I handed it to Cack as we fled.

Leaving was harder than getting in. Guard were on high alert when they found out what happened. I wanted to hide. Cack wanted to run. I mean, the doorway - it was right there. But something wasn't right. I just knew it. I hid. Cack ran. Cack was caught.

I watched it all from my hiding place. Ah was she angry. Livid. She picked him up with one hand around his throat, screaming about how dare he touch her. He tried to say it wasn't him - and it wasn't. It was me. But he had her hair on him. And that was all the proof they needed. She screamed at him. Called him a little rat scurrying in filth. Said, “If you want to be a rat, so be it!” At the time, I didn't know what she meant. She tossed Cack back through the doorway and back to the mortal realm. I stayed hidden. Eventually, the coast was clear and I fled.

A few days later, I finally caught up with Cack. He wasn't no worse for wear. And we had a good laugh about it all, especially considering how we both got out alive.

But two weeks later, it happened. We was hiding out in an old mine shaft. It had partially collapsed because some orcs dumped a load of trash on top of it. Dangers of the occupation. But just because it was collapsed didn't mean it had no treasures. We was digging through, when we found a bottle of liquor! What a find! We started drinking, and were singing songs and laughing when ol Cack started complaining that his insides hurt. I walked him outside to get him some fresh air, when he screamed in pain and started convulsing. He started to change right there in front of me, fur growing out of his hide, limbs bending in ways they shouldn't, claws and teeth forming. He was becoming a giant rat! Just like the Faerie Queen said! Then he turned on me. He bit my arm while scratching at my belly; I managed to fight him off and eventually he ran away. I ain't seen him since. I think he remembers what happened and is just too embarrassed to come back to me. At least, I hope. I hope he ain't dead. That would just f%~+ing suck.

The Skinchanger Story

I'm what they call a skin changer. Means I can change get my body to that of a ferocious animal. I let out my inner spirit. They say it's a curse, but I don't see it that way. I can do more than I used to.

I wasn't born this way. Happened to me when by best friend, Cack, was granted the gift from the Faerie Queen herself. We didn't know it at the time, but we found out at the next full moon. That's when he changed, and passed the gift on to me.p

And that's when I woke up. I woke up for real. My eyes became open to the evil in the world, to the horrors and insanity inflicting the land. The veil is breaking. I resolved myself to rise up above these petty squabbles between goblins and humans and orcs and all the rest. Evil is coming, and I'm going to fight it with every last breath.

I could never have done it if it weren't for this “curse.”
