Chip Rockpride

## History

Chip was born a Groundbold and without a name. Born into a time of strife between two Kobold tribes. His parents were killed in the second Great Groundbold Cave War. He was picked up as the refugees from his tribe were fleeing their territory. And after weeks of escaping and scavenging, the group of refugees encountered a pack of Ramsters. The Ramsters getting spooked by the Groundbolds thought they were rats and stampeded over the group, bludgeoning them to death. Chip being protected by the body of another refugee managed to crawl out after the stampede was over. He hobbled to a main road by luck and eventually collapsed of exhaustion.

Waking up, Chip was groggy and still tired. He was worried as he didn't recognize his surroundings and was covered by some strange, but warm, sheet. Soon after waking up, a strange looking "Groundbold" walked to the bedside speaking something that Chip couldn't understand. Chip wanted to run but couldn't muster the strength to. The person that happened to find Chip by the roadside mistook him for a Kobold child and took him home to try and take care of him. Their name was, Ashter Nork. Ashter noticed that the little one was scared so he left some food next to the bed and left the room. The next day Ashter came in and tried communicating with Chip again, but with no success. So he began trying to teach the little one how to speak and read. Also naming him Chip Rockpride, a very honorable Kobold name. Over the next few years Ashter educated Chip on life, customs, and language. But somehow the child seem to look a little bit different from your regular Kobold. And also, was extraordinarily intelligent. Chip was actually very gifted in learning and absorbed everything that was taught to him. After some time, Ashter noticed that Chip was a great tinkerer. Some would even think that Chip had gnome blood in him. He would make devices out of scrap and run around laughing as they blew up all over the place.

Once of age, Chip wanted to go to a school to learn more. Ashter tried to get him enlisted but Chip was rejected for, "mental issues". Whatever that was. Ashter didn't understand as Chip was a very bright and gentle child. But in reality, Chip was a little bit of a crazy kid. No school wanted some wacky wild child running around with a laser blaster. So Ashter got Chip access to a big library using his old adventuring connections. So Chip started his independent learning journey, and grew up to be an eccentric inventor. As Chip entered adulthood, Ashter told him that he should go out and experience the world. Chip who just liked studying was a tad perplexed at the idea but also interested. So Chip agreed and began making preparations to leave. After packing and bidding his farewells to Ashter, Chip took off in a random direction by carriage and didn't look back.

After reaching the port city of Bleujez, he used some of his saved money to get a ticket for a ship across the ocean to a far off place known for its technology. Chip stayed the night in the city and boarded the ship in the morning. After sailing out of the port, the ship sailed for about half a day before it was spotted by what looked like a couple pirate ships. The ship was quickly surrounded and boarded forcefully as the crew was killed and the passengers taken hostage. The passengers were given a choice, join the pirate crew, be taken as ransom, or perish in the murky depths. Chip was the first to stand up and say he'd join. I mean, who didn't want to be a pirate sailing the seas?

#### Personality

Chip is a highly intelligent individual who doesn't make friends easily. He's a bit erratic and nobody really understands what he's thinking at most times. Most tend to leave him be and let him do his thing. He does pretty well in combat and has a strange way of fighting with his technology. Chip only really has one deep personal connection and that's with who he sees as his savior, and father, Ashter Nork.
