Physical Appearance

• Physical appearance: Medium long blond hair, golden eyes that shimmer like gold coins, skin as green as plains of grass, a short stature with a flat chest but wide hips, although weak looking, has enough strength to carry several crates filled with gold on each hand, bones strengthened and infused with metals to the point that she can block cannon balls with her bare arms.
• Clothes: Goggles used for precision work on her forehead, overalls covered in soot and oil from constant tinkering, Oversized gloves that have charged wires at the tips of the fingers for welding, magical boots that can levitate on command, no underwear because she thinks its annoying to change 3 types of clothing when she can just change 1 which is her overalls.

Personality

• General attitude: She usually has a stoic and hard working attitude when it comes to her inventions, when it comes to speaking with clients and customers she has a very friendly, welcoming and outgoing attitude albeit extremely fake just so she can earn a profit from her inventions. The only time Aki-Nichii would ever show her emotions is when she is busy crafting her inventions and/or showing them off to others while usually causing chaos in the city and wreaking havoc by destroying property and causing a few injuries here and there. She is highly intuitive and observant as she can easily see through almost any lie and notice the smallest changes in tone, expression and movement which is what leads her to easily earn a profit when selling her inventions.

• Likes: Machines, items, knickknacks, magic items, tools, metals, ores, technology, money, more money, weapons, armors, and accessories.

• Dislikes: Swindlers, liars, cheaters, blackmailers, loan sharks, gamblers, hypocrites, any figure of authority, and anything free.

• Habits/quirks:

  • Constantly ensures that every coin she has is real and spends a few hours every day checking every single coin for its authenticity by any means.
  • Sleeps once a week due to spending every day happily working on her inventions and adding ridiculous and/or dangerous features to every creation.
  • Constantly chews and bites on a piece of adamantine in her pocket that's been chewed on so much that a clear deep bite mark has been left on it.
  • Every creation made has some kind of weapon or dangerous feature built into it from a small ring being able to destroy castle to a house that can fly in the sky and turn into a mobile fortress that can burn counties to the ground.

• Greatest strength: The innovations and inventions that Aki-Nichii creates are always made with others in mind and made to help them in some kind of way or another like prosthetics that can become weapons or implants that have mechanical enhancements that wildly affects whoever the implant is given to.

• Greatest weakness: Willing and able to do whatever it takes to obtain more funds and raw materials for her inventions be it taking a life, doing crime or offering herself for her goals, although she will give appropriate payback to whoever takes advantage of her willingness to do anything for her inventions which usually ends with having to redraw maps.

Backstory

Born in a cave with other lowly goblins, Aki-Nichii was blessed with wisdom and an intelligent mind that could never stop thinking which eventually led her to constantly leave the cave to find materials to create tools and weapons even if they were shoddy and poorly made. Aki-Nichii later shared the tools and weapons she made with her fellow goblins which eventually also increased the level of intelligence of the goblins she interacted with to a similar level as her but it unfortunately earned the attention of humans which soon led to a large group of humans to storm into her home and slaughter almost every goblin in sight and thankfully Aki-Nichii was out foraging for raw materials at the time but when she returned home she wasn't met with the warm welcome and smiles of the fools she called family but the silent bloody remains of her massacred loved ones and quickly grow a hatred for humans and began her road to revenge.

Aki-Nichii first started with traps along roads and rudimentary poison tipped arrows for quick assassinations. Her revenge intensified when she began using the stolen materials from previous victims and their loot to create complex traps like pitfalls filled with poisoned water for a slow and clean kill to explosives that cause landslides or several traps that activate from one trigger to ensure a guaranteed kill, this however led her to eventually be hunted down by adventurers which led her to secretly head to a far away town and register at the adventurers guild while hiding her identity and obtain new equipment with the money she stole spent her days getting raw materials by mining and foraging so she can create weapons for her eventual revenge.

Later on Aki-Nichii became strong enough to join an adventurer party and began going on quests to hunt down monsters and bounties on wanted individuals. On a several quests Aki-Nichii was tasked with exterminating a large village of goblins that began to attack nearby villages, she then found out how humans saw her kind as she witnessed the unnecessary cruelty that many common goblins caused to the innocent and reluctantly joined in the slaughter but that's when she gained a new perspective of her kind and humans and understood why humans slaughtered her family without knowing if they were kind goblins or not. This led Aki-Nichii to divulge herself in her inventions so she can eventually raise the status of all goblins so they wont be mercilessly killed and won't ever have the need to kill out of savagery, which accidentally also led her to create tools and weapons of mass reformation and destruction in the name of self defence which quickly drained her funds and forced her to sell her creations to the public to make ends meet which led to her eventually retiring her adventuring days and setting up shop in Goldcrest city and causing chaos to everyone there.

Example dialogue

"Welcome to my workshop! Are you here to buy anything or are you here to request a custom mad item? My prices are 50 gold pieces for clothing and accessories, 100 gold for weapons, shields and armors, 200 gold for anything that isn't those previous items, and 500 gold for buildings and automatons."

"Hey, mind grabbing me a wrench? I've broke one again and need another one to finish my latest invention.... what is it you ask? Just a simple ballista with bolts imbued with high quality elemental magic to freeze an entire lake, scorch the earth, turn stone to dust, cause lightning on a clear day and possibly have the potential to kill a demigod... you know, the usual."

"Check out this baby of mine! I call it the Screw off and die 5! I call it that because this baby teleports whoever I'm pointing it at 180 feet away and gives them lead poisoning! I call it 5 because the previous versions either teleported people into dangerous places and kills them one way or another and some of them just vaporized or blew them up.... BUT I GUARANTEE THIS ONE WILL WORK!"

"Look... I know its late and all and I'm sorry for bothering you but I need money and right now. I'm barely making enough to feed myself... if you need someone dead then ill do it, just give me whatever raw materials you have or any money you have to burn, I'll do whatever it takes so please.... I'm begging you, as a bonus ill even give you a portable house in a bag.... How'd I make one? WHO GIVES A SHIT!? JUST GIVE ME SOMEONE TO KILL OR SOMETHING AND PAY ME!"

"YES! MONEY! MOOLAH! DUBLOONS! BUCETS OF BUCKS! COLD HARD CASH BABY! Oh all the materials I can get with all this much money, maybe I'll get some high grade monster hides and make some water containers that could fit a lake worth of water? OR MAYBE I could get some wood from the trees near the world tree and make magic staves strong enough to handle casting several kinds of magic at once!"

Secrets

• Aki-Nichii is actually part lich as while on her adventures, she was nearly killed and could only use an empty lich phylactery to make herself immortal and half undead which later led to her creating hundreds of phylacteries while also killing more liches and taking over hundreds of more phylacteries and spreading them around the world with one of them being a grain of sand that she hid in the deepest darkest parts of the ocean.

• Another secret Aki-Nichii has is that she has created several hundreds of thousands of self repairing, combining, and replicating automatons that have free will and setting them free to roam the world and blend in among other sentient automatons known as warforged and unintentionally acted like a god and created artificial life without knowing that she is their creator.

Extras

• All goblins have the urge to collect shiny things and reproduce rapidly but Aki-Nichii is special as she only wishes to create said shiny things and take her time in finding a lover who cherishes her instead of a regular intelligent goblin that wants to have many kids, but sadly she has had no luck in that department due to her antics causing so much mayhem that almost every bachelor and bachelorette in Goldcrest city believe that they'd see the afterlife before seeing her bedroom.
• Aki-Nichii created a special automaton when she was just 17 that looks and acts exactly like a regular intelligent lifeform with the added bonus of being able to change it's shape, race, voice, and gender to become the perfect untraceable being that can live it's own life to the fullest with hopes that she will one day encounter it and not even know. The thought of it is so thrilling that on some days she loses sleep just wondering about the scenarios that could play out if or when it actually happens.
