#character information

There are many different magical creatures and races in the story I’ve been working on, some similar to one’s that are well-known, others are a bit different.

One that is a bit different are the goblins of my world. So here’s a bit of information about them.

There are more details I’m working on, so some things may change.

Goblins are intersex, having both male and female sex characteristics.

Standing between 3'6 and 4'6, and weighing in between 60-90 pounds. They are generally small, thin, and androgynous.

Their ears are big, and droopy, with powerful listening capabilities.

they have hands large for their size, thick wrists, and large, wide noses. They can be born with skin in a range of greens and blues, Most have wavy or curly hair in a similar shade as their skin color, and eyes in orange and brown hues. Their hair is normally kept bit past shoulder length.

Ear piercings are very common, most getting their first, a simple hoop, at the start of puberty, and the second, another small hoop, when they come of age. Goblins aren’t particularly magically gifted when compared to other races. A small number have been able to become magicians, but it was difficult.

The average life expectancy for a goblin is round 170-180 years, reaching adulthood at 40. They live fairly active lives, doing a reasonable amount of agricultural work most every day.

As they are intersex, they have no “gender roles” and all contribute equally to their household, and community.

Goblins live in villages of around 70 to 100 individuals, and their overall population is low.

Each community has a leader, who is elected after the death of the previous leader. they also have a council meeting once every season, four times a year. a member of each household will represent their family, they will discuss plans for the future, and issues affecting the community.

There are several communities scattered around forests in the northeast part of the continent.

the goblins keep to themselves most of the time, but aren’t apposed to venturing out into the world, and are cautious but welcoming to most who visit.
