Chief Sootscale was once named Ipmeek, a child of the former Chief Sootscale. That Chief had many wives, who gave birth to many egg clutches, and it was by no means certain that Ipmeek would become the next Chief Sootscale. But the dark, lustrous scales he bore marked him as having pure dragonsblood, placing him a step above those whose scales lacked the same shine. That same quality made Ipmeek a Guardian of his tribe, gifted with privilege but also burdened with their defense. He would thus learn the ways of the outside world.
Protecting the kobolds was not easy, though. Their people would fall prey to wild animals, strange fey, and worst of all bandits. Guardians were supposed to be the strongest of the tribe, but Ipmeek was not strong. He was quite average for a kobold, which is to say terribly weak. And he was pretty sure that, even if he became an exceptionally strong kobold, he would not be that great in defending the tribe. But Ipmeek was quite clever. He was drawn not to destruction but construction. Building. Growing. Improving things. Ipmeek felt that the best kobold defenses were tricks and traps. Using his influence and authority, Ipmeek had the best builders teach him their skills. And he then weaponized those skills to defend the tribe, using the tools and explosives from mining, construction, and tunneling against their foes. Ipmeek's star rose to new heights when his traps successfully defeated a band of Warmbloods intent on robbing and slaying the kobolds. That made Ipmeek a hero amongst the tribe, and also unlocked a world of new knowledge. For one of those invaders was an alchemist with many ideas about formulating potions and tinctures. Ideas that Ipmeek took and adapted. Everything changed for the tribe the day Tartuk, the purple-scaled kobold arrived. All kobolds were enthralled by his appearance. It had been said that purple was the royal color--the color of kings. And the kobold brought tales of great power in service to a mighty and fearsome god. Tartuk energized the kobolds and inspired the tribe to frenzied war. The Guardians were at the forefront of wanting battle. Ipmeek still favored caution, but he dared not speak out when even his father, Chief Sootscale, seemed inspired. War brought many victories, but also many losses. None greater than the day Ipmeek's father, Chief Sootscale, died in battle. Some of the kobolds became even more frenzied, vowing to avenge Chief Sootscale. Others had growing doubts, whispered in secret. Ipmeek, a "war hero" who also favored restraint, was supported by both factions, and rose to be the next Chief Sootscale. Yet to Ipmeek, that new role seemed to hardly mattered. Chief Sootscale was a title, given to the lead black-scaled kobold. But the black-scales were no longer the leaders of the tribe. Tartuk the purple-scaled was. And even as some began to question the wisdom of Tartuk, none dared challenge his fearsome god. Ipmeek, now Chief Sootscale, needed to appease the god and end the wars so that the tribe could recover its strength. But how? Not quite 10 minute background:
Step 1: Write 5 background and concept elements that you feel are important to your image of the character.
1) Loves building, creating. 2) Loyal to tradition, tribe and family. Rule-follower amongst friends (but not enemies). 3) Kobolds first! Suspicious of non-kobolds. 4) False bravado hides inner coward. Prefers indirect confrontation with those he fears. 5) Can become suddenly envious or jealous.

Step 3: List at least two secrets about your character.
Step 4: Describe at least three people that are tied to the character.
