_______________________________________

for your character please include:

NAME: Hookbill the Goomba

AGE: 18

RACE: Goomba. Or, more accurately, a man.

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: A moderate wit.

APPEARANCE: Small and unadorned. He has also a grey tunic and orange cloak with Black trousers and large brown boots. No fixed hairstyle.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Crazy Caption player and proud of it! British and Proud of it! Usually quiet, probably trying to think of something witty to say, but will probably fail utterly. His main strength is running away from danger. His main weakness is not running fast enough.

HISTORY: Spending much of his time on the outskirts of Mirkwood, near to the house of Radagast (from whom he got a lot of food. Weather Radagast knows this is another matter). He grew up in a rural village and was trained as a scientist, but broke the bonds of oppression and became a poet, but was thrown out of the village when his poetry turned out to be terrible. He later became a cobbler in Dol Gaurgauroth for reasons best know to himself.

“Well, I’m a cobbler,” said the rather defensive Hookbill as he moved behind a chair away from one of the villagers. “I’ve been here for three years. I’m not a new character, or even a cameo.”
“Then why,” enquired the villager, “does your post title say ‘Hookbill’s Cameo?’”
The little man stopped and thought. Too many questions so early in the morning, only four o’clock pm! Did these people have no respect? “You’re not supposed to be able to see that.” He mumbled eventually looking at his shoes and seeing an interesting pattern in the creases of the leather.
“Well, I don’t like this,” continued the villager, now getting rather annoyed, “You had better not meet me again, or you’ll be sorry.” The villager stormed out leaving footprints in the floorboards and breaking the door as it was closed. Hookbill slowly sunk to the ground and hummed to himself until a brick flew through his window and hit him on the head.
Awaking some time later, Hookbill found a note attached to the brick, ‘Shut up’ was written on one side. On the other was ‘Welcome to Dol Gaurgauroth. Please enjoy our snack bars’. He sighed and got back to work.
