Jocasta was stolen from her clan at a young age by a so-called "adventuring party" who came to raid her people's home in search of plunder.
Treated as little more than a pet, she was delivered to the local town where she was treated as an outcast and eventually sold to a troupe of traveling entertainers. Though the entertainers immediately granted her freedom, she was entirely dependent on them for her survival. Her next few years were spent touring the realm by sailing ship as "Sheela the Wonder Orc" displayed as an domesticated oddity and performing acrobatics for crowds of townsfolk who had never seen a creature such as her.
As she matured, the crowds began to treat her with less amusement and more fear. After a few unfortunate attacks from drunken audience members, the leaders of the troupe chose to cut her loose, maintaining her as a crew-hand on their traveling circus vessel. In that time she befriended a new part of the troupe's act, a human monk from a foreign land who performed feats of unarmed martial prowess.
He helped her find a sense of purpose by seeing the winding path of her life as an opportunity to grow beyond a member of a clan, or a town, or a troupe... but to find her own horizon, strive for greater understanding and help those in need.
So, with some basic training, she parted ways with the vessel and began her life as an adventurer, bringing her experience full-circle while embarking on an unknown future.

Would love to give this a try `` full disclosure though I've only been playing DnD for a few months.
I think I'd like to try a paladin this time around? Maybe plan for the Vengeance subclass since that seems to fit the darker vibe I'm getting from the description of your campaign. I'll fill in the idea as it comes to me!

New to DnD - Excited to learn and join the roleplay community!
Rachus a struggling musician, well kind of as he is proficient in his craft but watching people slowly fall deep into their cups of ale as they pay him little to no mind is not exactly what he thought a rousing bard should be. Now his parents have left an open door for him should he wish to go into the family business and become a cobbler, but he is not ready to throw in the towel yet.
That is when the news of a goblin survivor rippled through the city. It took a night of mulling, but Rachus believes such a quest can gain him some much-needed recognition and on a personal level the thought of fellow goblins enslaved and tortured does not sit well with him. In the dark corner of his heart, he hopes his estranged uncle is not among those trapped goblins.
Recruitment is now closed. Thank you for your interest. Players will now have received an instant message with instructions on how to join. If we have players drop out I will refer to the applicants above to extend further invites.

Character Concept:
Rachus a struggling musician, well kind of as he is proficient in his craft but watching people slowly fall deep into their cups of ale as they pay him little to no mind is not exactly what he thought a rousing bard should be. Now his parents have left an open door for him should he wish to go into the family business and become a cobbler, but he is not ready to throw in the towel yet.
