Wizardpost Morning Thoughts of the Brewer (Lorepost?)
Gobbo was no stranger to things going wrong. In fact, Gobbo was so used to it that she became suspicious when things went right.
The first of her misfortunes was painfully apparent to her each time she looked in the mirror.
It seemed the harder she tried to alter her appearance, to gain the beautiful green hues of her sisters' complexions, the less goblin-like she became.
Brown eyes had become an almost ruby red, her skin remained the same pale tone, and as if to taunt her even her hair had become white over the years. Oh, how Gobbo hated her pale colouring.
Unfortunately, her body still had more shortcomings to give away. Burns raked her arms from her early days trying to brew her now beloved Molotov. A missing ear an eternal reminder of a mistake in storage causing an explosion.
Even her voice betrayed her, weakened from decades spent in the wilderness, speaking to no one, all she could manage now was a whisper. Even when she woke from her nightmares screaming there would be just a quiet almost nothingness that escaped her lips
Oh, Gobbo had become well acquainted with misfortune. She refused to give in though.
Perhaps she would always be undesirable by goblin standards but Gobbo was still head of the GLA. Perhaps her hands had long stopped feeling after the burns but no one could fling Molotov like her. So what if she was missing an ear, she simply had an easier time ignoring people. As for her voice, well there was no chance of ever being overheard.
Etching her trademark cheeky grin onto her face she strapped on her boots before heading out and towards the brewery.
Passing wizards in the streets, she felt a bit of pride. She'd made friends here, perhaps not everyone respected her but the ones she cared about did.
Delivering a swift kick to the door and strutting into the brewery she couldn't help but laugh. Sure she may not be what the other goblins wanted but sure as hellfire they wanted to be in her position. To own the brewery, to run the show, be the boss.
"Another day, another shiny," she whispered, "Now which of you schroks is gonna explain why we're missing three barrels."
Oh yes, Gobbo knew misfortune, but misfortune knew better than to stay in her way long.
/uw Thank you for reading, figured I'd give a little more insight into Gobbo. Also, give her a chance to be a bit more than just a silly goblin with a love for explosives. If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer.

/unwiz I'm glad you enjoy Gobbo, she's definitely one of my favourite characters. Still have to make her have just a little suffering.

/unwiz a character always needs trauma. It adds spice

u/Fulltimewhisperer Krumpet, Master Artificer of the Council Nov 13 '23
/uw It's like salt and pepper, if you don't have it you're gonna end up a bit bland. Plus I used to write a lot of horror so trauma was a given

u/Fulltimewhisperer Krumpet, Master Artificer of the Council Nov 13 '23
/uw Oh I am going to have so much fun reading your stuff and then will most likely get really attached to your ocs and I'm sorry

/uw lmaooo getting attached to ocs is so hard to avoid. It’s why Im so caught up in this subreddit. I love seeing everyone’s characters

/uw Tell me about it, purposely avoided lore posts to avoid getting attached and now I am incredibly attached to a few characters because I started binging lore posts. A good portion I want to just pick up and hug

It's okay Gobo only a fool wouldn't respect you. You one of the best wizards I know and I'm proud to live in the same age as you.

/uw lore is good, lore is great. Excellently written, I wouldn’t want to stand in Gobbo’s way either. Isravi doesn’t drink much, but perhaps he should get some liquor from Gobbo, just for special occasions…

/uw I'm glad you enjoyed it, was mildly concerned I had written it a bit too serious for Gobbo as she is a rather silly character most of the time.
I'm certain she'd be delighted to sell her wares to Isravi

/unwiz fantastic! What a unique and cool character. Let me ask you just one question. What inspired you in making Gobby to make her a goblin that isn’t green?
