Username: Truegreen
Name: Grin Sel
Species: Trickster
Gender: Male
Color: A surprisingly charming #DAA520
Description: Oh who is this man in a fine suit holding that dignified cane. An elegant hat tops his head. His hair hangs down like a mane. Oh but what an ugly face he has. What a short and scrawny fellow. His skin is green and wrinkled, his eyes insane and yellow. Oh who does he think he's fooling, this goblin in the finery of man. Neither you nor I, but that gleam in his eye says we should run while we still can.
Weapons/Abilities: He is frozen in form. Trapped forever in his shape. No age can move him. No injury will persist. Even should he be destroyed he will return to his final shape. He will never change and never grow. Might I remind you he carries a cane?
Biography: Grin Sel was a notorious trickster and shape-shifter. Every day he would fly around the world in search of another game. Many a man and god were made fools by his clever tricks. He was hated by many and loved by few but one despised him most of all, the god Rom, lord of the sky. Rom once owned the moon and the stars, and kept them to himself hidden away under his cloak. Grin tricked Rom and stole them, scattering them in the darkness as he fled so Rom could never again touch them. For a hundred years the god watched the shape-shifter, ever plotting his demise. Rom laid the perfect trap set with the perfect bait, the most beautiful woman on the earth or heavens, Rom's daughter Iji. Grin was flying as he always did in the form of a black raven when he spotted her. Grin had a weakness for beautiful women and could not resist flitting down to speak with her. Iji slowly lead him towards a great cabin deep in the forest. At the threshold the pair stopped and Grin leapt from her shoulder, transforming at once into a tall and handsome figure. "Oh sweet Iji" he said to her with a voice like honey. "It is clear to me you are a very lonely girl, allow me into your house and I could keep you company." "Oh I would love to," she replied with a blush "But you are simply much to tall for me!" and so Grin grew shorter and shorter until he was but half her height "Oh my Iji now will you let me in so you will not be so lonely?" he asked. "Oh I would love to" she replied, "But your skin is simply much too smooth" So Grin changed his skin, allowing it to wrinkle and warp. "Now Iji, lovely Iji, will you not let me in now?" he crooned growing somewhat impatient with this game. "Oh my darling raven" She replied, "You are so beautiful, but you remain quite mundane, if you could find it within you to become a little more exotic..." and no sooner had she spoken the words than Grin became a pale green color. "Am I exotic enough for you my lady?" exasperation growing in his voice "You are perfect" Iji replied with a smile, "why don't we go inside." But the moment Grin crossed the threshold of the cabin Rom burst forth and wrapped him in chains of gold and stole away his power over forms. Grin struggled and bit but could not break free. Rom hung him on a hook in the front hall and laughed in his victory. Night fell and while Rom slept Iji snuck off stealing Grin away. From their son was born the line of Gob and the race of Goblins. Rom's curse has kept him alive, never able to change permanently, never able to age nor die by injury. He is worshiped as a god and king by all of Goblin kind.
