Oogi

The green activist Oogi (a.k.a. Oogz)

Oogi was a brave and kind goblin who was an advocate for goblin rights. Goblins, while not inherently evil, are very mischievous and are disliked by most people on Laeriss. But not all goblins eat children or steal from travelers, some goblins just want to fit into society. Oogi was one of said goblins who spent his entire life working to get rights for goblins. While he was mostly not successful, especially because that since he was a goblin he retired when he was thirty-five, he made a lot of people dislike goblins much less and even changed a few laws.

Career

Oogi campaigned with his spouse, Yoibo, for many years. They would go to cities all the time having protests, rallies, writing books, and changing lives. Oogi is considered a hero by the goblins who always wanted to just be like everybody else,
"Oogi was a hero in his own right, if we were allowed to just integrate into greater society I think it would do everybody good"
- self-trained psychologist Goopo pùbùs Phd.
Many of the more rude and violent goblins thought he was ruining their reputation for crime
"Oi, I worked damn hard for me status, now we got this joker comin' in tellin' people that we just like them. Ridiculous mate, we ain't like them sad lumps of boring slop, we f@#kin' goblins!"

Early Life

When Oogi was a boy he was just your average suburban log goblin living in the Asrancis Swamp. His mother was a stay at home mom who mainly took care of Oogi and his twenty-three siblings as well as sometimes killing things that came near their log for food. His father was an expert biter/ merchant who would go out on business trips biting things and sometimes trading his services for more things to eat. He grew up near Camp Ferius where the idea of society first piqued his interest. Almost everyday after he had met his quota of catching two birds, Oogi would go out on top of the hills of Camp Ferius and watch them work. Oogi made friends with some of the people of Camp Ferius and after he became an adult at the age of eight, decided to take up traveling and explore the world. When Oogi discovered that most towns and cities did not like his kind, he decided to devote his short goblin life to giving goblins equal rights.

Spouse

When Oogi was in his prime at the age of seventeen he met a goblin named Yoibo. Yoibo was a goblin who, after being denied entry into the city of Kemler, met Oogi on one of his campaigns. Yoibo came to the goblin rally in Kemler and ever since has lived with and helped Oogi throughout his entire life. Oogi and Yoibo got married after goblins were granted citizenship in Kemler in the year 5665 when they were both eighteen, prime marriage age for a goblin. They had their first of many children in 5670 when they were both twenty-one, an old age to have children as a goblin. They died at the same time in a contest to see who could chug boiling tea the fastest.

After retirement

After Oogi retired from his work at the age of thirty-five he moved back to his log in his home town for a few years before almost getting killed by an alligator and moving into a nice upscale log near the town of Oleque. He still occasionally would write books, campaign, and fight for equal goblin rights from time to time but tried to focus on raising his family of thirty-seven children with his wife Yoibo. He died in a boiling tea chugging contest with his spouse.

Intellectual Characteristics

Morality & Philosophy

Oogi believed that the advancements of normal society were too great to exclude goblins. He believed that all living things except fruit should be allowed to enter and co-exist with so called "advanced species" in glorious civilization. He always went by the goblin saying "you have to bring enough alligator meat for everybody", he applied this saying to everything and was very successful, using it as his main form of marketing.

Taboos

Oogi thought that the biggest taboo one could commit was smuggling fruit near him without his knowing. Oogi would not consider you a friend if you sneaked a secret fruit into your meal or even, gods forbid, sneaked one near his person or directly in front of his face. Doing so would usually result in Oogi out-casting you from his inner circle and cutting ties.

Wealth & Financial state

Oobi died surprisingly rich, in his many rallies and campaigns he managed to make a lot of money. His books and merchandise sold thousands of golds worth of copies and he spent most of his money on planning rallies, his children, his spouse, or not understanding the value of gold and giving it away to strangers. For a goblin he was actually very high class compared to your average peasant. If he was not a goblin most likely he would live in the noble district of some city. After splitting his money across thirty-seven children when he died they all were fairly wealthy until most of them lost it all, some of his grandchildren still have a considerable amount of money from his smarter children.
