Goblin characters

Goblins are small, scrawny and green, and most of the ones here stay that way, yellow-green or olive skin, huge pointed ears, a flat nose, sharp teeth and bright beady eyes. One sorcerer goes dark grey with amber eyes, and an artificer has bark-like ridges on greenish-brown skin.

What makes them work is the habits. A rogue who keeps a pocket of stolen buttons, locks and a duke's signet ring, a fighter who sleeps in a dugout under an inn's hearth and wraps his shield in oiled sailcloth, a monk who keeps a ledger in grease pencil on a slate tied to her belt. Soot and oil cover the artificers. Men and women are level, and no class leads by much. Oil paintings make up a bigger share here than for almost any other race. If you're making one, give them something they collect.
