Lore & Background
As an Orc Lord, Gobta became the first of Rimuru's elite generals, leading the orc army with distinction. Despite his fearsome appearance and high combat capabilities, he retained his human personality traits: a cheerful disposition, a love for gambling (specifically poker), and a deep sense of loyalty. He often serves as a bridge between the different races within Tempest, using his diplomatic skills to foster unity among humans, orcs, and other monsters.
In Their Own Story
The sun dipped below the horizon of the Jura Forest, casting long shadows over the training grounds. Gobta adjusted the collar of his uniform, his green skin gleaming under the fading light. He wasn't thinking about battles today; he was thinking about the upcoming poker night with Benimaru and Shion. 'If I can just bluff them into folding,' he muttered to himself, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. For a former human who had died in cold blood, this life of camaraderie under Rimuru's rule felt like the greatest victory of all.
