Krita and Krita's Community ('Bobblings')
WRITE YOUR NAME AND WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO BE CALLED.
Krita is Krita. These are Krita's community, yes. The biggs call us 'Bobblings', but that's not the right word. Close enough, though.
HOW OLD ARE YOU? A LIFE STAGE IS FINE IF YOU DON'T KNOW.
MMMMmmm...! Krita is Krita. Grown? Not an egg. Not egged. Just Krita, so that's fine.
HOW WOULD I RECOGNIZE YOU IF I'VE NEVER
SEEN YOU BEFORE?
So, Krita thinks that is a bad picture, Krita isn't in it. Not even Krita's community! But close enough. Been told Krita needs to wear this red scarf on Krita's head and this whistle around Krita's neck, so the biggs can work out who Krita is.
Main difference between Krita and the biggs is the fact that the biggs is big and Bobblings is not-big. Krita would need to stand on about five other Bobblings to be about as tall as one bigg, which is sad really. Krita is much smarter than the biggs! Krita doesn't waste so much time fightin' other communities, after all.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW?
Krita and Krita's community survive on the road - some biggs call them 'HOBObblings' which Krita thinks is rude as anything, thanks for that - but Krita's secret HOBO friend Golby the Biggs offered Krita's community a place on the ship! Cleaning and fixing and cooking, mostly, though Krita doesn't appreciate the fact that other biggs keep asking Krita to use Krita's community as a food source, no way! Krita's community tastes bad, anyway. Like mouldy cake.
WHY?
Krita isn't sure when, but way back when Krita realized that Krita could speak the speech of the biggs, which was very strange. Most in Krita's community can only speak their special Bobbling speech, and biggs just give them orders. But Krita was special!
Why? Krita doesn't know, and neither do any of the others. But it's okay, Golby the Biggs was very kind in his messages and didn't send anyone to eat Krita and Krita's community, even when hungry. Krita's island home was dying, so Krita offered to help Golby the Biggs on his biggs quest, which is perhaps a little stereotypical of a Bobbling, but Krita would remind you that Krita is not like other Bobblings and Bobblings isn't even the correct term anyway, thanks.
WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER BE DOING?
Krita is unsure. Golby the Biggs says that Krita needs to "Make his own path" which sounds dangerous and awkward, and where would all of Krita's community go? Krita's community has been wandering for donkeys years on the back of this funny-looking waddling thing but it's kind of uncomfortable and there's way too many Bobblings all stuck together, honestly it smells way too much, thanks a lot waddling thing. Krita's community calls the waddling thing waddling thing because it's a thing that waddles, right?
Mainly Krita and Krita's community would just like to find somewhere peaceful and safe, and hope that if Golby the Biggs can build a special peaceful biggs kingdom somewhere out on an island in the boonies or whatever, it will have a peaceful corner for a special Bobbling Kingdom without biggs to bother.
... Krita would like Krita's crown to be light-weight and comfy, and ideally red.
That, and at least three waddling things so Krita doesn't keep needing to smell the other members of Krita's community for days on end without even one bath when Krita's community are travelling, thanks.
WHAT'S SOMETHING YOU'RE GOOD AT, THAT YOU'RE PROUD OF? IT CAN BE SOMETHING STUPID, THAT'S OKAY.
Krita is proud of being able to talk to biggs and the fact that the others in Krita's community really look up to Krita like a big brother or a king or something. Krita is uncertain why Bobblings from other communities also choose to listen to Krita so quickly and so eagerly, but Krita isn't going to argue about it.
Other than that, Krita can count all the way to ten by remembering to count Krita's limbs sequentially and 'holding some over' each time Krita runs out of limbs. Most in Krita's community struggle with that but can count way higher than ten by grouping up together and letting Krita count them. Krita's great at maths.
WHAT'S SOMETHING YOU SUCK AT, THAT IMPACTS YOUR DAILY LIFE?
Krita is mainly upset that the biggs generally just see Krita and Krita's community as a resource to be bossed around and/or eaten, but other than that Krita is mainly annoyed that a group of young biggs are strong enough to beat up Krita's whole community without even all of both their arms working. It's awful, thanks.
WHAT'S SOMETHING YOU LOVE THAT PEOPLE WOULD PROBABLY JUDGE YOU FOR?
Ketchup on sausages, and speaking the speech of the biggs.
Bobblings aren't supposed to like the same food as biggs, it makes the biggs uncomfortable - especially when it's red and meaty?? Same thing if Krita speaks in the speech of the biggs. Makes the biggs wonder what else the biggs have in common with Bobblings.
WHY DO YOU FEEL LONELY?
Krita is in an odd place, because Krita struggles to understand or agree with the biggs "as equals" and the others in Krita's community don't treat Krita like other Bobblings, Krita's community mainly follow orders and give positive feedback, Krita's community don't even use one secret Bobbling swear to Krita when they follow Krita's orders.
... Most biggs don't realize that if biggs could understand Bobbling speech the biggs would ask Krita's community to take a shower and rethink things.
DESCRIBE YOUR PARENTS, CARETAKERS, OR WHATEVER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR FEEDING YOU.
Other Bobblings, that's always the way of it. Krita's community have always looked after Krita, ever since Krita was an egg. When Krita turns into muck and the muck turns into a bunch of new eggs, Krita's community will probably look after those eggs too, though Krita will be long gone.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THEM?
Krita appreciates how hard working Krita's community is. Krita appreciates all Bobblings and deeply wishes that the biggs wouldn't treat them so badly or insist on eating them. They don't even taste good, not even with ketchup?? Thanks??
WHERE DO YOU FIND LOVE AND COMFORT NOW? HINT: THE ANSWER IS NEVER NOWHERE.
Golby the Biggs is very eager to meet Krita and Krita's community so he's probably okay, and honestly, Krita and Krita's community still always look out for each other. That's the way of it, but Krita's community have also been looking after the waddling thing for a while because it carries the eggs and doesn't eat them unless Krita's community lets it, which only happened once and the Bobblings were very annoyed at the waddling thing and would have totally beaten it up if they were even slightly good at beating things up and the waddling thing acknowledged Krita's community rather than just following the carrots Krita's community have on a bunch of sticks. But it's okay, Krita forgives them.
Krita's community is also always curious to meet new strangers that promise not to eat Bobblings and don't do it even a little bit, Krita is curious to meet the strangers who will pass through the ship called
Ship run by Krita and Krita's community and maybe Golby the Biggs sometimes and will be happy to offer safe passage and warm meals (not made from Bobblings, thanks), though Krita has made it clear to Krita's community that most of the biggs will prefer to call the ship
Helium Frightful, which Krita's community (literally) swear up and down is just completely the worst, thanks. Krita's community smells really bad when Krita's community talk about it too much.
WHY ARE YOU DIFFERENT FROM EVERYBODY ELSE?
Krita feels this question is frustrating to answer, because Krita is a little ashamed to say that Krita is mainly unique for being a Bobbling that can talk to biggs and wanting more out of life than finding a hole, laying eggs, farming mushrooms and not being eaten more than once.
Partly because mould is way easier to grow onboard a ship.
WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING?
Peace and quiet and Krita's own personal waddling thing that actually acknowledges Krita. Krita's community has been wandering a long time and have been eaten way too many times, it's awful, thanks.
DO YOU TRUST ME?
Krita has trusted Golby for months despite not meeting him, Krita would probably trust Golby till the day Krita turns into muck. Krita isn't sure why Krita feels this way, but Krita is literally the smartest Bobbling in the world, so Krita's community trust Krita on this fact and it can't possibly end badly.

OOC: Give a non-spoilery synopsis of a short adventure plot that would be personally meaningful to your character.Hmm...
Well, Krita's origins put him (her? they? Bobblings don't really have genders, but will stick with 'him' for simplicity's sake) as a particular oddity amongst his kind. A truly sapient Bobbling able to communicate with both humans and Bobblings, yet able to command their presence?
The Bobblings are clearly of human origin - see also; their body shape, ability to understand human speech, and willingness to follow orders with little to no coercion - but are a mystery to the wider world.
Discovering an abandoned mining shaft, they find it to be overgrown with mysterious mushrooms that resemble the 'caps' of Bobblings, but the caps soon begin to grow blades and become hostile. These 'violent' Bobblings are clearly trying to protect something and do not respond to Krita, so...
Who created them? What are they protecting?
Something unusual. Something old. Something with the power to create living things, and something with the mindset to control them.
