Age: 28
Race: Goblin
Physical Description: Gonpo is muscular for a goblin, with a broad chest, thick core, and long, strong arms like a simian that make the most out of a goblin's naturally small frame. His face is wide and round, with a fanged underbite and deep-set, pitch-black eyes.
Clothing: Gonpo is clad in goblin-made scale armour, crafted from the hide of a previous catch. The armour covers his chest, shoulders, and forearms, with pink silk robes underneath, off-white baggy pants, and black leather gloves and boots to complete his ensemble. The armour strikes a balance between protection and flexibility. It is light enough for travel, easy to maintain, and protects its wearer from the harshness of Gwanalai’s climate. A horned helmet adorns Gonpo’s head at all times, and he objects to any effort to remove it from his possession.

History/Bio: Gonpo was born and raised in Gorhau, a small settlement inhabited by goblins on the furthest frontiers of Gwanalai. Here, the forest and river met and created freezing cold swamplands, full of murk, mystery, and really tasty fish. Gonpo made a living here as one of many fishermen, and was content… until one day, when a wandering peddler came and brought a painting of a ‘Great Rainbow Carp’ from foreign lands. It was love at first sight for Gonpo, a creature filled with more colour and beauty than any he’d seen in his neck of the woods. He bid his kin farewell and set off barely two days later, determined to see this Great Carp with his own eyes…
Home Town: Gorhau
Home Country: Kingdom of Gwan
Personality: Gonpo is friendly, polite, and not too bright. He speaks to everyone with the formality of a foreigner, and tends to be oblivious to puns and sarcasm. He avoids conflict when he can, and is a strong believer in the merits of jolly cooperation. He doesn’t particularly care about being a hero, but approves of those who act to support their community - as he himself did back home.
Fears and Desires: Gonpo can be touchy when it comes to his bravery. Questioning or teasing him about it is the perfect way to get him to do something stupid.
He desires to find the Rainbow Carp that had captivated him so much, to see its beauty firsthand.
Equipment and Weapons: Onamazu scale armour. A fishing rod lance with spider silk wire. A round iron shield. A swamp puffer mace. A carving knife. His great heron steed and companion, “Wun”.
Styles and Abilities: On foot, Gonpo’s fighting style favours unwavering defense combined with rapid, consistent attacks with either lance or mace. His armour, shield, and chi ability provides Gonpo with stonewalling abilities rivaled by few. However, he shines the most as mounted cavalry, charging through open fields upon his heron to deliver earth-shattering blows from his lance.
Chi and Augmentations: Gonpo’s chi manifests in his ability to hold his breath indefinitely, a valuable ability when fighting underwater. It also renders him immune to toxins that attack the respiratory system.
