Possible semi-useless background item - a rhombocrystal. No, he's not a follower of Nivi Rhombodazzle, but Yamyra is.

Background:
Most boggles head straight for their chosen profession, knowing they don't have time to spare given their short lifespans. Rivet though managed to get a position at a university library where he could absorb all the great works of literature of the ages; his early obsession. His mother, Print, didn't understand and made sure he knew the practical skills that boggles excel at. She shook her head often at the waste of his talent.

At the library his skills at trapping dire bookworms, overly inquisitive students and similar vermin made him popular, along with the ability to find and remove the odd trap on donated books.

Then Yamyra entered his life. An adventurer just seeking some information from the library for her quest, he joined her party to follow her. The combination of her roguish talent and the occasional mentoring of a spaced-out psion led to him developing the skills of a cryptic over the next couple of years.

When he eventually confessed his feelings to her she tried to gently let him down but it eventually came to admitting that she, a halfling, "don't ever do goblins." Logically to Rivet this means that he needs to be permanently polymorphed into a halfling. Supposedly there is a wizard with the required skills at the White Butterfly Company. Rivet just needs the money and favours required to get this done.

Description & Personality:
Neatly dressed, wears a wig to blend in better with non-goblinoids.

3'6", 44 lbs., green skin, red eyes.

While Rivet's picked up some bad habits from academia, a tendency to look down his nose at non-academics among them, he's a fairly friendly person underneath that. He's certainly not the picture of experienced confidence he tries to appear, being not quite 18 years old - boggles grow up fast, but some personality traits do take time to develop.

Most of the enemies he faced with Yamyra's Troubleshooters were humanoid. Scary beasts will trigger him to flight or fight very fast.
