Yolp the Mighty's page

Yolp grew up in an unremarkable way in the Sootscale tribe, raiding passing merchant caravans and old ladies. One day, however, his tribal elders noticed that Yolp was incredibly adept at actually killing people when he hit them, instead of having them rub a sore spot for a moment or two. He was sent on increasingly dangerous missions, despite his age.

One such mission was a raid on a Dwarven gold mine, and when there, he found a pickaxe. After using said pickaxe to gouge out 3 dwarf eyes in a row, he decided that it deserved his love, and named it Talon, because it was worthy of being wielded by a dragon. It is rumoured that he tucks it into his nest at night, but that can't possibly be true for someone so mighty.

After that raid, Yolp began wondering why his tribe didn't wear the heavy metal suits the Dwarves sometimes utilized. He was able to test this theory when a halfling warrior had it stripped from him after falling victim to the tribe's infamous gout of flame traps. He learned to maneuver in it and use the momentum for, rather than against him. He felt invincible in it.

In today's dark times, Yolp has been called upon by his tribe, the Sootscales, to assist as part of a strike team. All of scalykind may be in danger, and Yolp sure as heck will try and stop it.

Yolp's devotion to wearing heavy armor and becoming even more mighty rivals that of a monk. His steadfast attitude is reflected in his physique amd stature: His resting stance is akin to a dwarf's, low and powerful. His height is impressive (for a kobold), standing nearly a head over most of his peers. His muscles give him considerable heft, but he doesn't flaunt it.

Yolp's willingess to serve authority makes him a favorite among the elders of his tribe. He follows through all orders from legitimate kobold or kobold-sanctioned sources to the best off his ability, which is a lot of ability. However, when not being given orders, Yolp has been seen talking with other races not on his preapproved kill-on-sight list, and appears to show no personal remorse or hate towards ones who are on said list.

In his downtime, Yolp enjoys playing cards. His tribe mates cheat against him all the time, but Yolp doesn't realize it, instead insisting that it's simply all chance or was meant to be. Yolp would thus be poor if he wasn't so darn good at raiding. Despite his losses, he's actually quite a good sport about it, which makes everyone else feel rather bad about cheating against him again. But they do it anyway.
