Trying to pick which questions I want ask when is such hard task sometimes, lmao (fun nonetheless, though!)

What’s Ris’daer’s personality like? I’ve gotten a feel for it in the videos you’ve posted (I binge them daily at this point, haha.) but I’m curious how you would describe it. And if you want, this includes how he reacts to certain things and what he’s like in moments of vulnerability, both of his and of other people.

Oooh the hard hitting question. Alright lemme see--

Ris'daer is, at heart, a romantic in all aspects. Socially, spiritually -- he enjoys a lot of things in life that often go hand in hand with that category. Which, when he was back in the Underdark, is practically scandalous. Waxing poetics, singing, admiring the world for what it is, etc. He lived (and still lives) a lot of things for the moment.

He's also completely wild and unabashed with his menacing ways - a trait that came many years after leaving the Underdark. The man realized just how free he was from the societal conformation and restraints of Drow society -- and he hasn't looked back since. He'll joke loudly, poke fun, flirt unashamedly, and be as extrovertedly charming as he can possibly manage. He loves to hear stories, tell them, and just experience the world and savour it as much as he can. Though every now and then the melancholy of his life before creeps back up on him.

Oh, and he's extremely opinionated and quick to call out folks who try to manipulate him. Because they always remind him of his ex-wife and he refuses to ever let someone ruin him again like she almost did. Big opinions and big stubbornness.

Just for kicks, here's some of the main inspirations character wise that sort of helped shape Ris'daer as a whole:

So I wanted to know a bunch of little things and I hope throwing them all into one ask is alright. As always, answer what you can/want and I will eat it up!

What’s Ris’ favorite color?

Does he have a favorite song to play or does he go based on vibe?

Does he like his hair being played with and does he like playing with other people’s hair if they’re just chilling side by side?

Opinions on jewelry and favorite stone to wear? (Funnily enough, he and my Tav have the same earring set.)

Cats, dogs or both?

(This is one can be skipped over without a second thought.) Sexuality? Any specifics to it? And would he be open to a polycule?

If he had to dye his hair two colors, what would they be?

Favorite traits in a potential friend? Most disliked traits?

Does he like sweets? If so, does he prefer them to be baked or no?

Does he have any hobbies?

Is he a sit-down violinist or does he Lindsey Sterling his performances?

I will always have more little questions if you enjoy silly bits. I’m always interested in every detail someone can provide in a character so please bear with me!!

And to just share a thought of mine, I’ve already absentmindedly headcanoned my Tav and him as friends and them playing Fairytale by Alexander Rybak as a fun little ditty. Or something like that song if not Fairytale specifically. But I thought it’d be neat with them both preferring violin and all. (Though, Talanova ends up playing something else when I think about them performing together.)

Heck yes! Alright I can answer all these (after a billion years of sitting on them):

What’s Ris’ favorite color? Contrary to his wardrobe… His favourite colour is blue. Because it is the prominent colour of two incredible things he only saw after leaving the Underdark: The Sky and the Ocean. He waxes a lot of poetry about them.

Does he have a favorite song to play or does he go based on vibe? He plays based on vibes and energy given back to him. But he often loves singing older songs in Undercommon he learned back in the Underdark. Often haunting and melancholic (though he saves those songs for when he's alone and away from others).

Does he like his hair being played with and does he like playing with other people’s hair if they’re just chilling side by side? Oh yes. He's very tactile in both his own affections and open to receiving it from others. It makes him exceptionally content and connected as it was something of a novel concept until quite recently (post Underdark).

Opinions on jewelry and favorite stone to wear? (Funnily enough, he and my Tav have the same earring set.) He adores being bejewelled. Probably remnants of his old life but the aesthetic truly sates a desire to look good. His favourite gem stones are rubies.

Cats, dogs or both? All. All animals. He loves them all because they tend to love him in return (dogs especially).

Sexuality? Any specifics to it? And would he be open to a polycule? Pansexual! Absolutely finds beauty and attraction to all folks - as for a polycule, it would have to be some very special folk that he feels a deep connection to. Honestly he's very single minded (usually) when it comes to love. But again, he wouldn't outright oppose it.

If he had to dye his hair two colors, what would they be? Hrmm. He likes White & Black - keep the natural and add something completely opposite of it.

Favorite traits in a potential friend? Most disliked traits? He loves a great sense of humour in another. Also the type of person who will turn to you without missing a beat after you teasingly say 'i might murder x for being a clown' and then say 'i'll bring the shovel to help you hide them'. As for disliked traits… Pretty standard things but especially someone who has no love for music.

Does he like sweets? If so, does he prefer them to be baked or no? Yes. He loves all food. He's like a vacuous void of hunger but especially for sweets.

Does he have any hobbies? Poetry writing, Song composition, classic ballroom dancing… He also adores archery and fencing. He was raised pretty typically with noble hobbies and lessons drilled into him. Luckily he found love in all of them.

Is he a sit-down violinist or does he Lindsey Sterling his performances?

Definitely Lindsay Sterling. He just gotta move with his music.
