#character idea

Turning on and off the safety of their gun. Tapping and spinning their dagger. Watching the poison in the vial move as they flip in and then back.

Nobody says anything because...well they're an assassin.

Turns on safety, presses trigger, turns off safety repeat.

People around them are in constant fear.

Chewing the end of their poison tipped dagger when they try to figure out a plan.

Wash their hands too much cause they don't like how sticky blood is.

However overtime it becomes a weird single to others.

Everyone is anxious trying to figure something out and they hear a little "click click" and it's just slightly calming to know that they have this person there and they are thinking of a plan.

Someone hands them a drink but it flows just a little too weird and they are like, "hmm that's poison" then chuck it because they have built up immunity.

No table that doesn't have something carved into it.

Never a situation where they don't have enough bullets because this person takes out the cartridge and puts it back as stim.

They take apart their guns and put them back over time being crazy fast and efficient with it.

the arguably most iconic part of Drow culture is that it's a matriarchal society, with gender roles essentially flipped from most in real life, with women being seen as superior to men

in that cultural context, a transmasculine Drow would likely seem nonsensical to most, 'why transition and lose all your feminine privilege in the process?'

and a transfeminine Drow would be seen as more sensible but likely as a 'vain attempt at gaining privilege'

exploring this idea would be so very compelling, as for one, the opposite nature recontextualizes and holds up a mirror to the arbitrary nature of binary gender roles, social privilege and influence, and sexism, and further emphasizes that transitioning truly is not about privilege, but personal fulfillment, comfort, desire, and expression

and I'm not even getting into all of the fascinating storytelling that could be done with intersex, nonbinary, gender fluid, bigender, etc. Drow!!!

♡ neat/clean person-- they are constantly washing their hands and cleaning the area around them. hate getting anything on their hands, clothes, shoes, car, etc etc.

♡ hobby addict-- they are constantly looking at and for little things that relate to their hobbies, sometimes even getting sidetracked. for ex: touching fabrics while talking to you, "one second" before speed walking to look at some yarn/books/shoes/etc etc.

♡ takes forever to finish drinks-- literally always carrying around a watered-down drink they are still working on. adds ice after a while instead of just putting that poor drink out of its misery

♡ alternatively-- drink fiend. doesn't use a straw because they'll sip too fast. CEO of "are you gonna finish that?" and "I'll drink it if you don't like it".

♡ collects something a bit uncommon-- the bottlecaps from every soda/water they drink, little things that are the exact shade of their favorite color, lost earrings (they disinfect them, don't worry), perfect leaves, miniatures of random things (that they then place on the life-sized versions), 'ugly' things (they feel bad that nobody else likes them), etc etc

♡ runs their hands over different textures. if they touch one that they hate, they will quickly touch one they like 'to balance it out'

♡ dislikes certain numbers (ex: odd numbers. or even specific numbers, like 4 or 9) and so they go out of their way to avoid those

♡ can't stop buying something specific even though they already have a lot of them (ex: pens, lip glosses, mugs, etc etc) because they just love them so much

♡ only drinks coffee/tea if it is piping hot. will rather chug it than warm it up because 'it ruins the taste'

♡ alternatively-- does not care if a hot drink goes completely cold, they will still drink it. 'Iced coffee is a thing too, you know"

♡ talks during movies/shows because they like to analyze everything and point out stuff they notice in the background. probably pauses to be polite (if they can)

♡ changes their style with the seasons. example: once summer starts, they exclusively wear dresses.
