Moschops Flint

Moschops Flint is a Goblin Male

Appearance
Dark green skin with dark purple hair that fades to soft pink, dark yellow irises. Septum and multiple ear piercings.

Personality
Mischievous but not overly bad or evil. Generally a good person but if someone tries to harm him or his companions, will go out of his way to make a painful example of them. Signature move: the "Nut-sack special". A little naïve but quick to learn.

Background
Moschops has decided it's time to go out into the world and make his pilgrimage to become a Stoneshield. Aside from wanting to help his tribe and the community, it's also his duty as the Chief's offspring to become one in order to prepare for the day he inherits the Chief's seat. He also just really wants to go on an adventure before age determines his duties for him!

The Stoneshield Pilgrimage is a fairly simple concept: the prospect is told nothing of the world outside the Canyon, although the prospect may have prior knowledge just from talking to members of the community who were brought to Flint Canyon for refuge or a new start. The sacred crystals are cast under the midday sun, and the longest shard of refracted light determines the direction in which they must leave the canyon and walk until they arrive somewhere. Then they must use their initiative and go on a journey, in which they should endeavour to learn a new skill or find an artefact that will help the community. They must also hone their skills in combat by throwing themselves into situations where they physically have to defend a worthy cause, ideally on the side of Good.

Understandably, not a great many prospects come home. On the tenth year of their absence, if the prospect has not returned, a memorial ritual is performed and their name carved on the Lost Stone at the Grave Garden (it's not full of graves, just stone sculptures surrounded by polished pebbles. A pebble is placed in the Garden by the family of the deceased, and over time the constant blasting of sand through the wind channel turns them into sand to join the dust that blows across the desert).

The Crystals sent Moschops overland, through a treacherous mountain pass and down into the desert beyond. He walked and walked until he found Little Nook. Wide eyed and wondering what this adventure might have in store for him, he hears people talking of something called an Airship. After asking around, he finally manages to secure passage, then looks into his coin purse and decides that he will first of all try the novelty of a drink in a tavern. He finds the Raven's Rest...
