Starfinder Character: Xor

Many gamers have a backlog of player characters. I am no exception. Xor was going to be a new character for a Starfinder campaign that never happened. Perhaps someday I can introduce this snarky fire-maker into a game.

History

Xor was born on Absolom Station to a small tribe of goblins who lived in squalor and had little ambition to rise above. Even before his magical abilities manifested Xor sought a higher life than his family desired. Though he may have been in a tribe, it was not one which he belonged. When he began to demonstrate magical abilities, he further grew in disdain of the goblins around him. And many of the tribe became annoyed with his telepathic antics. It’s one thing to blow up another goblin, but it’s just not fair when the bomb keeps being thrown back to the bomber with a Psychokinetic Hand!

The Technomancer wasn’t exactly shunned from his people, but no one tried to stop Xor when he packed up his things to leave. There may have been a party… following his departure. The goblin now seeks a new tribe. They don’t have to be goblins, they just have to be his kind of beings. Maybe the crew he’s with now could be his new tribe?

Xor is highly intelligent and has a love of tinkering with batteries and wires. Sometimes they can go boom, other times they just get things working again. He’s also wise enough to know when to do which—even if the booms can be funny. The goblin is rarely not smiling and his humor ranges from slapstick to cutting remarks.

While Xor was to be a party member that wouldn’t break the game, I modeled much of his personality and voice on the gargoyles and gnomes of Fable II and III. The goblin would rarely be with an insult or a stated desire towards violence. His voice was from the back of the throat and had a mild scots’ burr.
