Nombeko Stormer, of Kobolds - Intro
When asked, Nombeko will say she is from “someplace south of here.” Those who know her well, eventually find out that she had an unorthodox childhood. As a war orphan, she had wandered into a small kobold settlement. This might have resulted in a tragic end for Nombeko, but for some reason, the kobolds decided to accept her into the community.
Life among the kobolds wasn’t easy, by any stretch of the imagination. What kobolds lack in smarts and ingenuity, they make up for in sheer brawn. Nombeko developed a strong physique as she dealt with constant impromptu wrestling matches and rough-housing from the other kobold youths. Still, as she entered late adolescence, she realized that she had mentally outpaced the kobolds she now considered as her family.
On her eighteenth birthday, Nombeko decided to leave the kobold settlement in order to see the wider world, now that she was mostly grown and relatively more capable. As she roamed, she witnessed the treatment of kobolds among the wider Runiverse. Although it was true that some kobolds caused mischief and even worked as hooligans and brigands, overall she felt that other peoples were extremely prejudiced against the kobolds, and often took advantage of their low intelligence. Kobolds were often the targets of scams, confidence schemes, and even predatory employment arrangements akin to slavery.
On her travels, Nombeko has acquired what she considers her three treasures. One - her azurite dragon sword (she is close-lipped about where and how she acquired it). Two - her scarlet macaw companion, Frederico “Freddy” Seed-cracker. And three - her skill in speaking the machine language of the Old World’s technology. This skill was hard-won in Area X. After overcoming various trials and tribulations in this land of machines, she encountered a flickering terminal with instructional software on learning the ancient machine command lexicon.
Nombeko wants to help all kobolds. But she cannot be with all of them, at all times (a kobold left unattended for even a few moments is liable to get into mischief). Her hope is to program Old World machines to serve as assistants to the kobolds, to advise them, and ward them from predatory opportunists, as well as their own poor decision-making.
Nombeko carries with her one such device, and she is currently seeking a kobold who could be the first to test her idea…
