CH. I – Painting a Portrait
Skullshank is average height for a goblin, at least the ones of his clan anyway.  He’s broadshouldered, but lithe, and not too lanky.  His flesh is a murky, dark green, palms course and rough and he’s missing a pinky on his left hand.  But what seems to stand out most, and attributes even to his name, are the spikes and blades that protrude from the flesh of his left arm.  They are haphazardly placed, sticking up through the muscle of his forearm. Most of them are stiletto type blades, but one thickened blade in particular sticks up in the middle of his forearm.  His flesh had grown around them at the base, and only hurt some of the time.  But nothing annoys him more than when flesh gets caught inbetween them.

He generally wears leathers and bones, armor mended here and there with the bones of his enemies, and a human skull propped on one of the pauldrons.  Most of his equipment is haphazard, quickly thrown together or what he could rummage off of dead bodies, but he makes the most of it.  Various piercings decorate his ears, some having been torn off and leaving  behind ribboned flesh.

+ NOTABLE MARKS +
A ridge of small bone protrusions create an oblique v-shape along his brow, just above and ringing up toward his hairline.

CH II – Mental Make-up
A stubborn, delusional goblin, if somewhat vain and foolhardy brute.  He takes things as they come, or more like he goes out to look for what’s coming to him, because he’s too impatient to wait for them.  He has little in the way of respecting personal space.  Your space is his space, and he has a bad habit of freely grabbing what strikes his attention, from objects to body parts.

He’s a generally clean goblin, respectful of his own hygiene unlike most others of his kind, and can often be seen grooming himself or sharpening his nails.  He has a delightfully grim sense of humor, often cackling hysterically.  He doesn’t understand why others don’t laugh, he thinks he’s delightful.

Elvenkind in particular annoys him, although he doesn’t think humans are that much better, considering them uppity and privileged and delights in stomping all over them when he can.  Also dislikes having people’s heads get stuck on the blades of his left arm – they don’t call him Skullshank for nothing.

+ FAITH +
A good way to brainwash people.

+ HABITS +
Drinks, smokes, takes hallucinogenics, and over all hates his life.


CH III – Social

+ RELATIONSHIPS +
*TBA 

CH IV – Abilities / Skills
+ BERSERK +
A maddened state where all he sees is red.  He is highly resistant to damage and pain, he is also multiple times stronger than normal while in this state.  It really only happens when he’s in the heat of battle, when his blood has been shed, and he has a taste for it himself.

Also, he’s fairly good at hunting, stealth, and overall banditry.  It’s really how he survives.  Most people don’t want goblins around.

CH V – Gear / Equipment
+ WAR AXES +
War axes melted down and forged from different materials, and often repaired or sharpened from rummaged materials as well.  They are banded with pieces of cloth and leather and sometimes reinforced with the bones of fallen enemies.  While they are not perfect they are his prized possessions and would sooner behead someone than allow them to even touch them.


CH VI – Reflections of the Past

He has one!  Just as soon as I think of it.
