Class: Unchained Barbarian (Feral Gnasher)

Concept
An oversized half-goblin half-human born in captivity, abused by her tribe and forced to fight for sport, escaped to human lands with one thought: help them build a great kingdom that treats its subjects with respect, and thereby show the goblins of the Stolen Lands how to be compassionate, civilized folk. Alas, as long as they live under the spell of their evil goddess Lamashtu, she fears that will be impossible.

Physical Description and Personality
Magoomba appears to be part human and part goblin, very husky with a large round belly. She has lash scars on her back and arms. Her mouth is full of sharp teeth, but her eyes are unusually large and expressive. She has a bit of a speech impediment, with many of her words coming out elongated and slurred. Despite her fearsome appearance she has a gentle soul, usually preferring to deal nonlethal damage to the creatures she fights. Her time among goblins has taught her an appreciation for their raucous songs, though she doesn't sing herself, and she likes how rhyming words makes her feel. If she harbors any vindictive feelings about her harsh upbringing, she reserves them for their goddess Lamashtu, whom she blames and opposes passionately.

Background
Magoomba recently fled her home in the lands to the south of Fort Redemption, having heard tales of the heroes' deeds and their reputed tolerance for creatures that typically do not receive mercy from humans. Her former captors were abusive Lamashtu worshipers who raised her like an animal, and most of the time she played the part to avoid the lash. She grew up caged and learned to fight using anything and everything available to her, though she held on dearly to her humanity. Even though they treated her abominably, she does not desire revenge, only that they see the error of their ways. To her, the Stolen Lands means a new beginning: a place where she hopes all compassionate creatures can be considered equal.

She isn't sure, but based on trinkets she has carried all of her life Magoomba believes her mother was a half-orc warrior who was exiled from her tribe before Magoomba was born. She has an amulet depicting six bears surrounding a dark-skinned woman's face that she believes was hers. She has no idea who her father was, though she assumes he was part of the tribe where she grew up. She once heard one of the shamans say that she burst out of her mother's belly as a gift from Lamashtu, and she is terrified of the implications if that were true. Perhaps that is why she has always accepted her place as a monster living among monsters-- that is, until now.
