Niblet

Niblet is a young adult Kobold Wild Magic Barbarian in the party of whatever this campaign is gonna be called. It uses it/its pronouns and can display some feline behaviors, along with behaviors typical of a younger child. It is quite strong however, and if an enemy is in front of it, chances are that said enemy will become spaghetti sauce.

## Appearance

Niblet is a small lizardfolk resembling a common anole. It has light green skin with a lighter yellowish underbelly, along with large round eyes with large pupils and yellow irises and scleras. On top of its head are small visible ears and small pointed horns. Its typically-shown outfit is a darker green tunic and no real pants, but can be shown with a simple modest covering or bandages under the tunic. Leather straps cross its chest and hold a large club to its back, its primary weapon. It wears no shoes. In colder climates, Niblet wears an oversized, thick and furry cloak that nearly swallows it whole and looks humorous. Laugh all its party-mates want, but it stays very nice and warm in that cloak.

## Backstory

### Childhood

Niblet had a happy childhood. It was the oldest of five children, two younger brothers and two younger sisters. All of the children were born at home, laid as eggs. All four of Niblet’s siblings were laid as twins, which is relatively rare among kobolds (this is true I fact checked, about 10% chance of two eggs laid). Niblet was the only one to know their father, as he had been attacked and killed by wild animals when it was a hatchling and the first twins were just laid. They all lived in a modest forest village, with their mother getting help from the other residents in raising five rowdy children.

When Niblet was a young teen, its village was attacked by the same wild animals that had killed its father, along with unique monsters it had never seen before. Between the animals and monsters, the entire village was destroyed and no signs of life were left. Niblet was heartbroken, its entire family wiped out in one fell swoop. Despite everyone being wiped out, there were very few bodies found, which Niblet assumed were due to the monsters and animals simply eating them.

### Nomadic Times

With its home destroyed, it became a nomad, roaming the forests and trying to find a reason to keep on. One awful, stormy night, Niblet had made the mistake of climbing a tree in search of rodents or insects to eat. The tree it had chosen was struck by lightning, and Niblet with it. It was thrown from the tree, but hitting several branches on the way down softened the fall and caused it to survive with little more than a few scrapes and a shaken spirit.

After the storm, it felt a calling, like the lightning had shaken something in its little walnut brain to finally make something of itself. It made the journey to the nearest village, one populated by mostly humans. It was difficult to gain trust with the humans, and it had to steal food to survive the first week. However, one human caught it trying to steal and took pity on the little lizardfolk, offering it a job so it could earn some gold and gain the food from honest means. Niblet took the job and felt satisfied, finally having a reason to wake up in the morning and someone it could call a friend.

### Conscription and Cowardice

After a month of living and working in the village, a war between the village and a neighboring town broke out. Niblet offered to join ranks and fight, but once reaching the battlefield, panic set in and it realized that it wasn’t at all ready for battle. To stay alive and save its own skin, it ran from the battle, not looking back until the sounds of fighting were hardly audible.

After it stopped running, regret immediately set in, and its little shoulders sank with despair. It was homeless again, and without a purpose. Much more slowly than before, it trekked on, searching sadly for another sign of civilization, hoping that this next encounter would finally be what it was looking for. Whatever that may be.
