@ImportantNobody Never played a Zelda game personally, but I've heard they're good. Regardless, there is no game harder than Dark Souls (haven't beat it yet, currently farming souls to level strength and dexterity to use BKH, to beat Gwyn with).

Apotheosis

Kreshakin-Rakultak

Name
Kreshakin-Rakultak
Gender
Male
Appearance
"A four-foot tall, green-skinned, ugly piece of work."
Well, more like three and half, and slightly paler than other goblins. Can't argue with the last one, though.
Personality
Kreshakin loves his Gift. Adores it. If he can afford to, he'll spend all of his time dozens of feet above his fellows. He also has an intense enjoyment of competition. The two traits combined lead him to challenge himself to the best of his abilities, aiming to exceed his allies and beat whatever nature can throw at him. The desire to outdo absolutely everything can be obnoxious to put up with, but for the most part it's just a lot of fun.
As you might be expecting by now, Kreshakin is an all-play, no-work kind of goblin. When not doing whatever he wants to be doing, he is lazy and not worth much in whatever goal is being worked towards. Basically, he does a complete turnaround. He dislikes responsibility, and it's very difficult to get him to do something, if he's decided he doesn't want to do it.
Past life history
Kevin Ralston was a twenty-something extreme sportsman when the world ended. His family had been incredibly rich, but unlike them he was never content with sitting around, sipping expensive wines all day. Taking advantage of the immense amount of money he had access to, he spent his time travelling the world, doing the craziest things he could image (mostly extreme sports, that kind of thing) and posting YouTube videos of them. That was the other thing he really loved: being able to communicate with a community of like-minded people. Of course, there were always jerks, and morons, but for the most part it was a lot of fun. It barely matters though, that's all over now.
Gift
An amazing climber, Kreshakin's skill lies in climbing the unclimable, and climbing the climable in record time. Of course, he takes this too far, but that's just who he is.

@Moonlit Sonata
We good here? I hyphenated the name since someone (I think it was you) said a goblin with a surname would be weird and they're probably right.

Nice, guys! I wanna bring some momentum back, but I'll wait a day or two before posting in case anyone else wants to.

Describe your favourite game in a nutshell

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt:

Hunt someone who is being hunted by some other guys called the Wild Hunt who you are also kind of hunting but who are also kind of hunting you.
P.S. The main combat song of the game is "Hunt or Be Hunted".

Into A Bloody Fantasy World

Taliaren found the body drifting gently in a river in the forest. Silently moving along, more like a daydreamer than a corpse. Initially, the young druidess panicked - sure, she knew how to heal someone in theory, but in practice it would be her mother, Talara, who'd handle that sort of thing, especially with anything serious. She'd only been in the area to gather sprigs of holly, for Talara's own spells, but it did mean she was at least somewhat prepared for the circumstance she now faced.

She didn't realise what it was at first. From a distance, it looked like a fallen branch floating in the water. But, of course, this was clearly not true up close. Transitioning first to a fast walk, then to a run, Taliaren got to the edge and waded in to get to it, whoever it was.

An older boy or a younger man. Countless injuries. Broken bones. Stab wounds. Missing several teeth. Very bad all round. But wait... was he still breathing? Perhaps he could still be saved, but Taliaren doubted her own abilities. Yet what life was still in him would surely have left by the time it would take her to bring him home. No, she must do this herself. There would be no one else who could.

She tried to steady her breathing, think carefully about what she was doing, calm down. What did she need for a healing ritual? Holly, she had that. She made Earth's Blood, but that took time, it was a clay-like substance made from water (which she had an abundance of) and a particular kind of dirt (which was harder to find). Surely by now he was close to death. Taliaren worked faster.

Pulling the body from the river, she marked a circle each on the forehead, palms, and heels in Earth's Blood. She smashed a chunk of chalk with her axe and use the powder to draw a circle on the ground around him. She wrapped every wound (of which there were many) in willow bark. At last, she held the sprig of holly in front of his nose and set it alight. According to what she had been taught, either the smell of burning would wake him up or the fire would reach her hand and she would have to stop.

Crying now, she thanked the river for its water, the holly for its sprigs, the ground for its earth, and so on and so on (this was quite normal in her religion, though it just as well could have been fear-induced). She prayed to every god she knew of that this man would not die. The flame drew ever closer to her hand, and still nothing. But surely, surely it would be just a moment longer. Just a moment longer. Please, just a moment longer.

I'm on the guild discord (not that I use it). An arena channel could be neat, if it was active and on-topic.

First attempt at a CS. Wasn't sure how long personality and history should be, but I think I got it about right. Anyway, let me know what you think.
