A small metallic suit of high tech power armor with red lights and red cloth highlights is worn by a being with skin as green as tropical foliage in the sunlight. His red eyes gleam like the lights on his armor. His long, pointed ears are pierced with rings of metal. The almost pig-snoutlike nose and vicious teeth add a feral look to this diminutive fey creature. He moves with energy and walks like he has somewhere to be. Despite his size, he seems to carry the confidence of a giant.
History
Rinzu was born on a planet that his people called Zuegarel, in a forest city of his kin called Orsica. His people had been living in tribes in balance with nature for some time. But they were evolving. From hunting and gathering to farming and city building. Their culture was a forest culture however. For the other races still feared and hated goblins. And the cities of men and elves were not always safe for lone goblins.
His mother and father had a farm of sorts where they raised and harvested the venoms and silks from giant spiders. And they grew various sorts of herbs and fungi. All of these doings would provide the ingredients used to make potions that his parents would prepare and sell. His father was a keen alchemist, but his mother was best at caring for the plants, fungi, and animals.
Rinzu and his siblings were always helping their parents farm ingredients and make potions. Of course they were all still technically children in their society. But like all adolescents, they thought that they were more grown than everyone else. Only his elder brother Turril had left home and begun his own life as a warrior.
One day when Rinzu was out hunting on his own, he encountered a thing like nothing he had ever seen before. It was some kind of big metal...thing... And he explored all around it and found a way inside. There was no one else within, but there was a main room. With seats and buttons and lights. And a giant scrying stone like a table turned on it's side came to life when he sat and pushed the button. It showed the outside. And more.
Soon he felt the ground shift and saw from the scrying screen that this thing was moving. That's when he realized that he was in a legendary flying boat from beyond the sky. No one in Orsica thought they were real. But the stories had been told since he could remember. And now he was sailing it. And he wanted more.
He flew the small space vessel back to it's "mother ship" and became introduced to the galactic community at large. It took much time, but eventually the goblin convinced the aliens to let him stay on as a scout and pilot by saving the two man crew of the small ship that he had stolen from a group of fanatical serpentmen in his home forest. The larger vessel was a merchant ship and once he had proven himself, the merchants were happy to have a prodigal pilot and marksman to help guard their goods. Especially one who didn't yet know the value of a credit.
He left behind Zuegarel, and Orsica. His mother and father, three brothers and only sister. He left behind Junar, his favorite giant spider. He left behind the cities of men and elves. Their societies and the whole of the life he had known, just for the chance to explore what was beyond the sky.
Rinzu loves high technology now. Ships. Bots. Guns. Bombs. Armor. Computers. He wants to know more about all of it. He wants a workshop where he can develop his own gadgets. But more than that he wants to explore the galaxy.
Rinzu was always smart, fast, and agile. These traits have only increased over time.
And he has put his smarts together to learn so much. His primary skills include:
Aim Acrobatics Athletics Computers Demolitions Dodge Medicine Pilot Repair Security
In addition to this, Rinzu is aided by his gear.
Armor Constantly purchasing better power armor only to upgrade the living daylights out of it, he usually has a few bombs, drones, trackers and sidearms hidden within it. And he is never without a propulsion system, wether a classic jet pack or rocket booster boots.
Weapons Dual laser pistols are his preferred method of attack. Although he is pretty handy with any gun around. His melee skills are weak however.
Bot He's crafted a small spiderbot that he named Junaril.
Ship Rinzu is currently in possession of a small, one man, fighter. It has room for one passenger and a small area for storage. And unlike many crafts of similar sizes, this one is fully capable of standing up to the rigors of ftl travel on it's own.
