What are good goblin character ideas everybody?

I always found goblin tinkerers to be an interesting idea, but in D&D goblins are supposed to be really dumb. Are they all killy? I've always seen Gobbos being played as being dumb, but are some of kind disposition and taken to wandering and adventuring instead of the same malice as the rest of their race?

How does /tg/ feel about races not going to their alignments in general?

playing with like 6 people
Lizard folk (me), some boring normal races and a goblin noble with goblin retainers
>Get ambushed by elves
>Knock one out and tie him up
Since we are monster folk we end up eating one of the elves infront of our captured one
Guess what green skinned/scaled people got to watch him from then on out? Needless to say he was to scared to try anything.

there's a problem with your thread OP

Who the fuck plays goblins when there are better green pointy eared things to play, like half-orcs or elves? Or if you want the real greenskin experience, just an orc?

Goblins seem to be pretty stuck being waifus for /tg/

A concept for a character I've been playing with is BugBack BigHeart, the NG Goblin [green skin subrace] Bard.
Basically hated by his tribe and insulted for being a 'bad goblin' as he doesn't want to nor is he good at killing humans.
He's normally stuck on guard duty of the captives, befriends a captured human bard who teaches him to play instruments and make music. As well as teaching him about his music goddess who welcomes all those good in the world.
Human bard gets nommed by goblins before BugBack can play his green music for his only friend.
BugBack flees the tribe with his homemade lute, 'daisy', and sets out on his quest. To convince the goddess of music that he is good enough to enter her domain in the afterlife to play his music for his friend.
A bit sappy, and not very goblin-ish, but I feel like it would be fun and much easier to incorporate into a regular campaign.

I had a goblin ninja in Pathfinder and the DM let us use traits. His stealth checks were ridiculous.
His intelligence was too low to learn common but the DM ruled I could speak "broken common" if I stayed in character. I roleplayed him by saying "KEEK" at the end of every sentence as a funny quirk.

A player named him "Geeky Keeky the sneaky" and it stuck.

We didn't really have backstories, it was a few adventures we ran with "any race that's small".

The only cool thing I remember off the top of my head was me and some halfling throwing rocks AROUND bugbears in a camp and having the wizard cast some illusion that another bugbear was throwing rocks at them and eventually got them all fighting over who could throw a bigger rock.

Eh, it depends on how you play them. I made my Goblin Rogue essentially Gollum, personality-wise.
