Dinki is a lizard-like rusty brown scaled kobold and somewhat bulkier than your average 'bold. He stands 4'3" tall and weighs about 60lbs. He wears chain if he can get his hands on it as its not heavy but offers protection against "da bad biggies". He typical is garbed in a leather harness and loincloth. He carries around an over-sized, weather-worn leather rucksack, obviously sized for a human. Underneath the ruck is a scabbard that stops at about Dinki's scaly tail. A leather-bound hilt pokes out from the scabbard.
Dinki loves adventure and excitement, where theres danger theres shinies and much nomz. Give him a task and it will be done. Dinki is fairly social and loves meeting and travelling with new bolds, however he isn't too wise. He is oblivious to most social queues and unless told something, he probably won't pick up on what you're hinting at. Dinki has no concept of lying or ownership. If you tell him something he will believe it. He is incapable of fabricating falsehoods. He will also never claim something as "his". Instead if he brings something back he will want to share it with the whole warren and probably just put it in a box with other shinies, nomz, or craftee fings.
Likes: Melon, Uver 'bolds, Adventures, Shinies
Hates: Bad Biggies, Open areas, Heights
Good at: Fighting, Exploring, Gathering
Bad at: Social queues, lying, cleanliness

Dinki has become obsessed with a figure that Glimkin has dubbed "Da Sunmuver". He venerates the goddess and does everything he can to adhere to the tenants of sharing, travel, fighting evil, and providing what he can to help his fellow kobold.

A very rough paraphrase of a very good roleplay event between Glimkin and Dinki.
Basically what happened was, Dinki gets back, he destroys the warren, like flips tables and shit, fights the wall until he gets exhausted and collapses.
Then he just bawls, Glimkin hears him and comes over to console Dinki, Dinkis like, no fuck the humies, Glimkin is silent, Dinki gets up and heads to make a pyre for Cessie
Dinki makes the pyre and burns Cessie's remains, then Dinki stares into the fire and is like, "We gotta kill these motherfuckers."
But then Glimkin starts talking to him and telling him what we have to do to live. How we win against the biggies.
"Bolds is small. Bolds is week. World is hard. Bolds
must be smart. Must fite bad, but must not make more
bad when fites. Nice to talls when see. Talks and smiles
and not shows claws. Let dem feel strong. Fites wen will
win, runs when in danger. Knows where tu run better dan
talls. Knows how tu hide, an when not tu. Pretends tu
be dumb an nice so dey not reddy when time tu be smart
an fite. Kills is bad fing, tells wrong fings is bad fing
but.. sometimes is stops worse fing. Plays littul bold
games effen tho is not littul. Asks queshuns is knows
anser tu. Not hits meen wuns efen if it wunts to. Not
unless it will nefer stop hitting an is will win. Is
must be bolds is like doggies. Is nice an frenly and soft
unless is time to show claws, den is scary an kills.
Time is wen will win and wen is deserves."
Dinkis like, youre right. I understand now what I have to do to not let this shit happen again.
Glimkins like "so you never want this to happen again, right?"
Yep
And youd do anything you could right?
Yep
..Would you trade places with Cessie?
Then Dinkis like, oh fuck.
Hes like, I dunno, Glimkin... Thats something... I dont know.. Im sorry, but.. I dont think I could..
Glimkin gets disappointed. "Oh"
Dinki turns away and starts to walk away, then he remembers the laughs and the fun he and Cessie shared in the short time they were together
He turns around, filled with some weird thing that feels like purpose and determination.
"No. I would. I will do everything I can to stop this from happening again."
Glimkin gets all, "You sure?"
"Yes."
Then Glimkin grabs Dinkis hand and presses the back of it into a hot burning coal.
Dinki yelps in pain but doesnt struggle, letting the pain internalize and forever remind him of the oath he swore to keep the bolds safe and secure.
Glimkin releases him as quick as Dinki was grabbed, Dinkis scales still smoldering.
Dinki holds it up to his eye, remembering every good time and all the rage he felt at the humans after Cessies death and Notzy's demise at his foolish gamble.
Then Dinki turns to go back down to the warren, he grabs a bucket of water and a tin, he puts out the pyre and takes the ashes, scoops them into the tin.
Then Glimkin tells Dinki "I ask you this, because a Hedbold must always do for the other bolds."
Dinki's like, "Wha- But I..
Then he swallows and with that his uncertainty leaves, his newfound confidence and determination replacing his doubt.
"Yes. Dinki will do this."
"But Dinki must go, I have something that must be done."
Then Dinki turns and walks out of the warren where he travels west, east, north, then south, scattering Cessie
's ashes and whispering the four fings boldies must do as the Sunmuver says.
"Sunmuver shares, Sunmuver travels, Sunmuver fites the bads, Sunmuver provides."
Halfway through it starts raining. With the last of the ashes scattered, Dinki lets the last bit of ash from his fingertips wash away with the rain. And with that he leaves to the warren again.
