Thanks everyone. It has been a lot of fun playing Jankan, and mostly because of all the different people I have gotten to meet and adventure with. He's a lot less moody than Llyshra, and let me tell you being able to run everywhere and do whatever has been a breath of fresh air. Anyhow, heres some half-written stuff I have that I will egotistically post here...
He looks at you with beady little soulless eyes, glassy dark and unblinking. He is the kobold Jankan. To some, a likeable, clownish lizard. Yet others are disturbed by something perhaps lurking in his tiny reptilian brain. A dark brooding intellect? A nice kobold, but perhaps too nice. And why is he looking at your toes? And what is in all those boxes he is carrying? Books? A rusty set of surgical tools mixed together with some flatware and a teapot? And what is this odd fixation with ‘soup’? Travelling across South Avlis, this kobold doesn’t give his name because he thinks it gives power over him...
Originally part of an elite shaahesk unit where his official title was ‘Food’, he kept himself alive by learning how to cook his friends and tell jokes in shaahesk (You know why shaahesk are so mean? They just are [admittedly this joke loses a bit in translation])
The shaahesk unit was decimated by an Avenger patrol in Northeast T’Nanshi, and in the confusion of the battle, Jankan ran west towards the Deglos Mountains with another kobold named Mosseater, a shaman. The pair were adopted by Aryana Skelter and Sand and wandered with them for a time.
In the days that followed, many kobolds began to gather near the City of Mikona. This lead to a brief time in kobold lore know as The Great Infestation of the Iron Mines. The small pack numbered about a dozen. They did not cause too much trouble until another kobold event of note, The Great TheTonite massacre of Mikona, when a pack of surly TheTonites just off the boat were chopped to death by the hungry lizards and eaten while a crowd of typical Mikona city people watched on and laughed. Fat and happy, the kobolds retreated to the Iron Mines for a nice nap, after which another kobold event of note occurred, The Great Kobold Massacre, which led to the death of most of them to hungry hook horrors and gray renders.
Mosseater and Jankan fled north to try their fortune in Ferrell, running an almost famous meat business at the Ferrell Trade Fair (incidentally about the same time Agnes Beck disappeared for a while in the Ferrell Old Woods, last seen with two hungry looking kobolds).
Eatses meats
meatses good!
Eatses meats,
yous knows yous shoulds!
Sadly, selling delicious meat was not enough to keep them busy, and Jankan was beaten by Jake Bentsen and a press gang of M’Chekian soldiers into joining the M’Chek Army. His time there was remarkably short, as he was chased out of the warzone by the TNanshi mage know as ‘Jester’ on his first day.
Hungry and poor, Jankan returned to Mikona seeking attractive people to meet and eat. Concentrating on charismatic clerics and sorceresses, his attempts to get some attractive and tasty toes met with generally bad results:
Gracie (unsuccessful, locked out of house while following her home from Tavern)
ShiErl (unsuccessful, kobold paralyzed and fed to a bear)
Sugriam (unsuccessful, kobold turned to stone and fed to a bear)
Melissa Sunkin (unsuccessful, kobold beaten up and fed to a bear)
Miette (unsuccessful, “accidentally” Hellballed while plotting her demise)
Frustrated, the kobold found himself in the tavern kitchens for a while, and in the confusion that follwed many waitresses found themselves in a soup pot. Notices went up around the city: Mikona’s Most Wanted: The Cook Killer ‘Stinky’
O delicioustness! Its in the pot!
You think that its chickenses, but really its not!
O delicioustness! To tell you the truth
Delicioustness! Its name is soup
Fleeing the notoriety of ‘Stinky’nes, the kobold began working for adventurers all across Avlis...
Yoo needs kobold carrys stuffs? Oh so bestestness kobold carrystuffers!

The difference between western and eastern intellectuals is that the former have not been kicked in the ass enough.

I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?
