I've been thinking about this character for around two years or so now, trying to develop him into a state that I like. I have not, since I've thought him up, gotten any input from outside sources, so I'd be interested to see what people think. I've got a three or four page biography, but I'd rather not put that up on here (I'm not big on sharing character information). Instead, I'd like to just post a few pillers of his character.
Yes, he is a Drow. While I have been facinated by Drow culture since I discovered it, I am always cautious about creating Drow characters because I've found that it's generally frowned upon. So, without further adu (...I really doubt I've correctly used that phrase), Nyvveck L'Cryso
Name: Nyvveck L'Cryso (assumed)
Race: Drow
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Deity: Eilistraee
Nyvveck is only recently on the surface, and he is not on the surface by choice. He dislikes nearly everything about the surface, however he knows that he cannot return to the Underdark.
While he tries to follow Eilistraee completely, his short temper often causes him to get into trouble. Because he would like to forget everything about Drow society, he is something of a Puritan when it comes to pleasure, and as such, he does not participate in many of Eilistraee's rituals. He instead chooses to worship Her through bladework (I intend to go Duelist with him eventually).
He is very easily manipulated. He was only a warrior in his House, and so he was raised to follow orders. While he now detests taking orders, he often obeys them without thinking about it. He also instinctually treats females better than others, although if this was pointed out to him, he would vehemently deny it.
He tries to do good, but his version of "good" has been changed about from living in the Underdark. He is quick to use violence to solve problems, and often does not understand why anyone would be upset at him for killing or maiming others.
What I've tried to create is a character that sees morality in a different light than others. He really does want to do good, but his "good" clashes with the traditional view of good. I've tried to "realistically" (funny to use that word regarding fantasy, isn't it?) mold the traditions of the Underdark with the common Drow living on the surface. To my own (obviously prejudiced) eyes, I believe I've done that fairly well. I'm interested to hear what others think, and would love any constructive criticism offered.
