Samuel The Kobold

Samuel is 23 year old Kobold with a heavy burden on his shoulders. Born into a peaceful village, he knew a world where children laughed and smiles were a norm. Nine years ago, his idyllic life was ravaged by the inferno of destruction. The trauma lingers, etching scars on his psyche like a branding iron. The memories of his village, once a haven, now a charnel house of death and devastation, haunt him still. He remembers the screams, the charred remains and the crucified Kobolds, their bodies still warm to the touch. He was trained in combat and magic by the enigmatic Oracle, Theosorus, a master who imbued him with arcane prowess, but also entrusted him with the forbidden knowledge of the threads of time. Theosorus's sudden and mysterious disappearance, and subsequent demise in the village massacre, has left Samuel with the weight of his mentor's final warning echoing in his mind: to keep his newfound power hidden. The Kobold's fear of exploitation by those who would misuse his gift, coupled with the Oracle's grave words, has led him to keep this ability a closely guarded secret. His tears flow like a river, carrying the weight of his grief and desperation. The once-bright Kobold now wanders, ignored by society, struggling to find solace in a world that seems devoid of compassion. Skilled in the arts of battle, spellcraft, and the subtle art of time manipulation, he clings to these abilities as a reminder of his past and a beacon of hope for a brighter future. His eyes, red from the pain of remembering, hold a quiet plea for validation, for someone to hold him, to comfort his shattered heart. Despite the torment, a glimmer of determination shines forth, a resolve to combat evil, to stand tall, and to prove his worth, refusing to succumb to the darkness. Alas, this courageous Kobold's breaking point approaches, as the anguish threatens to engulf him, and his soul cries out for a tender touch, a gentle grasp to ease his torment.
