Character-y

[elaby]

So I've had someone running around in my head all evening. And killing
things with arrows and something that vaguely resembles a katana.

That's nothing new, though. The katana, I mean.

He's
an elf, but really a lot more... human... than my other elves. Not
nearly so petite or delicate. He's got dark grey hair,
shoulderblade-length-ish, and I don't think he's altogether friendly...
but very very good at killing people. With arrows.

I had this
image of him running through a forest, then leaping over something and
sliding down a bit of grassy hill, and his feet turning as he slid...
and then nocking an arrow and letting it off in an eye blink, into the
trees above.

Oddly enough, this was all to Vanilla. Which I never knew was good for fight scenes. But it is O_o

I
was getting blinks of personality, too... very stand-offish, not the
type to never smile, but not often and not usually in a particularly
nice way. Professional. Probably cynical. And I imagine people who kill
things for a living must have a reason, but if I don't come up with
something better than the regular angsty motivating past, I'm just
going to let him kill things for undisclosed reasons. I can see him
being rather snide, but not really mean unless it's to someone who
deserves it, if only a little. And probably rather compassionate if the
situation seriously calls for it.

I might have to devise a place for him.
