Ferrin's gaze locked with the Bori and he smirked at him. That challenging look was returned in kind, as Ferrin gave him a confident smirk of his own. However, he didn't say anything aloud and simply watched as the Ixi a couple seats down finally lowered her hood, giving him a good look at her face for the first time. He was obviously caught a bit off-guard by the color of the hair. Dressing with such a contrasting color was always more of a noble thing; soldiers usually kept their hair, if any, close to their species color, to avoid standing out. Given how the Ixi was carrying herself, he had expected a similar mindset. But clearly, he was wrong about that. He supposed she just liked the color? He knew he certainly did, as a small smile formed on his face.

"Bogshot?" Ferrin said as Eloween introduced herself. Something about that tugged at his memory. He'd definitely heard of the place before, but what could he be thinking of...? It definitely wasn't a place he'd visited before, so then what...? He crossed his arms and thought back to what he knew about Meridell and its surrounding lands. However, before he could continue his train of thought, Eloween continued to introduce herself and her skillset. As he watched her, however, he began to frown a bit. He certainly didn't disapprove of her or anything like that, but there was something about her that continued to bother her.... However, he didn't say anything. If he did, he might only make her feel worse.

"Yeah, that all sounds pretty useful to me," Ferrin replied, taking another bite and swallowing it before continuing. "I can't tell you how much easier some of my missions would have been if I'd picked up some archery. And Meridell's pretty skimpy on magic, so I bet that'll be helpful. We usually relied on Lady Kauvara's potion brewing skills and Motes for most things magic-related."

Greetings, all! How did the holidays fare for you lot?~ Had relatives over until just this morning myself. It was a fun time while they were here, but I’m glad to have my house back to a normal population again xD
Hap Nu Yr to all!~
Name: Vaeros, the Hunter
Sex: Male
Race: Kobold (Red)
Age: 11

Bio: Originally, Vaeros did nothing to stand out from the tribe. He spent much of his time digging tunnels on the hunt for gemstones just like any other common worker, and occasionally helping to hunt for food or supplies. However, on a small, seemingly routine hunting expedition, the group was ambushed by another creature on the hunt: a bloodthirsty harpy. Despite the group's best efforts to fight back, they were overwhelmed, and a handful of them ended up getting captured and carried off....

He remained missing from the tribe for over a week, and was thus presumed dead, a victim of the powerful harpy that took him off. However, he would one day be found in the forest surrounding their tribe's home, collapsed and wounded, a bow in his grasp and a quiver of arrows strapped to his back....

He did not discuss much of what happened; only that the harpy was dead and his wounds had been from the harpy itself. He did not even mention where the bow or quiver had come from. Since he refused to provide much information, however, many of the tribe began to believe that he had taken care of it himself. As a result, he was often added to many hunting parties by default, and he simply rolled with it.

However, there was a noticeable change in his behavior ever since. He mostly kept to himself, and he tended to silently venture outside of the cavern every now and then. Though he kept to the shadows, he would make trips to the outside on many occasions, and return later than he probably should. He became seemingly obsessed with his new tools, cleaning the bow and constructing arrows, or even attempting--but failing--to recreate the bow he was currently using through amateur woodcarving whenever he wasn't busy with working for the tribe.

He also began to claim to have one goal: He was going to defend the tribe from any threats to the best of his ability.
I'd like my character to have a mount or pet. Seeing as how we're playing as kobolds, I was thinking either of the reptilian or dinosaurian variety. I'm assuming that this story will be based more on D&D, so would anyone recommend something?


This is to be approved by OP, but in my experience, there are rare occurrences where Kobolds ride giant badgers, spiders, and giant lizards. Stronger tribes might use Drakes, Mastiffs or Gricks, though.
Excellent. In that case, I might just jump in on this. I get so few opportunities to use my Kobold boi. Every time I get into a D&D campaign where they let me use him, it falls off almost immediately
@Aristocles

Hey there, I usually avoid Large Group RPs since I have a strong preference for smaller groups, but I love kobolds (they are my go-to race of choice xD), so I might make an exception. But, before I decide that (and thus take the time to join a Discord), I should ask something real quick:

I get that the idea of this tribe is to be your typical Kobold tribe; a focus on mining and digging in the dark, limited tools, etc. And I'm definitely cool with that; it'll be different from my own usual koboldfare (I actually have this entire network of varying kobold tribes of various colors and how they work as an interconnected whole in my own setting xD).

But, say I have a kobold character with a particular interest in hunting. Would it be possible for them to get their claws on a bow, and learned to carve arrows out of wood, stone and feathers over time? My main kobold character can be repurposed for this, but archery is tied into his character pretty tightly. I don't mind if he's kind of considered "weird" for his obsession with it and/or is the only "archer" in the entire tribe. But if that's not acceptable for this (and I'd definitely understand that), then I'd probably have to figure something else out.
Will do~ As am I!
Ferrin did not hesitate to take the nearest plated meat, a nice chicken filet, and start digging into it. He only looked up from the food once he saw the Ixi move to take a seat a couple seats down, the Scorchio couldn't help but raise a brow, but he ignored it. It wasn't as though he was offended or anything, he simply had not expected such hesitation. Luckily, the Bori hadn't hesitated to drop into the seat between them, and he was fine with that.

"Heheh...she's right, though," Ferrin said after swallowing another bite of chicken--noticeably leaving the broccoli and carrots beside it mostly untouched--and moved to grab the nearest water. "Gallions are all over the place in Meridell, both domestic and wild." However, he paused when Arma introduced himself. He swallowed the bite he had just taken, setting his silverware back in place before grinning over at him.

"Oh really?" he asked, feeling a bit of excitement welling up inside him. "You're a brawler, huh? That's awesome! I love hand to hand combat! We should spar a bit and find out who's stronger sometime! I mean...y'know, after these trials and stuff are done and all that. But hand to hand's a hell of a lot more fun to spar hand to hand than it is with weapons." He then gestured to the gear he had laid behind his seat: what appeared to be a standard, regulation longsword, and a shield. They both appeared extremely well-maintained; especially the shield, which seemed to have been polished very recently, given its notable shine on the bright red, blue and gold of the Meridellian insignia.

"I prefer fighting like you do, in hand to hand combat, but when it comes to serious battles, I stick to what I was trained to use back in Meridell, the classic sword and shield. I think I'm plenty strong on my own, but put a sword and shield in my hand, and nobody's taking me down easy in a fair fight." He paused for a moment, quickly realizing he'd completely forgotten a critical point of his introduction.

"Oh, right. Heh. Sorry, I guess you probably want the introduction part." Ferrin replied, rubbing the back of his head. His grin widened, and he raised his right arm into the air, flexing it a bit. "The name's Ferrin Aren. Former Knight of Meridell, presently a sword for the small and shield for the weak. Heh. Gotta say, it feels pretty weird to be taking a job for King Hagan, since I used to take my orders from Skarl's lackeys."

He then leaned forward on the table so that he could look around the Bori, and toward the Ixi and her companion. "And you?" he asked. "I know you said your Gallion friend's Wyler, but what about you?"
Oh hey, I found something that's pretty good. I keep having difficulties finding a good map of Neopia, but...I found what I think is a good, fanmade one. It's not technically COMPLETELY accurate to the site's geography, but it's very close. Also pretty big, so I'll put it in a hider xD
