Application for Drizzt Do’Urden (Forgotten Realms)


((Spoilers for the Legend of Drizzt Series including The Orc King))

 

Change

It is what happens with the passage of time, whether we mere mortals like it or not.
It is the wave against the rock, the falling of the shore into the ocean.
The challenge is to see this as change and not pure destruction.

It is the circumstance I have been put in, though some changes were easier
to fathom than others. Leaving House Do’Urden and finding the Surface was
evolution that saved my life, made me who I am. Admitting my feelings for
Catti-brie and marrying her was another large step in the right direction,
change I feared but accepted.

The tide has turned, I fear, in a direction more towards erosion than growth.
The wonderful marriage I thought I had was further proven a friendly a
rrangement. The peaceful life patrolling around Mithral Hall has become a
bit harder as of late.

At one point in history, such change would have torn through my heart.
Now, however I see it as a gateway to new opportunities, new adventures,
new places I never thought I would travel, and skills I never thought I
would want to learn.

Maybe change can indeed be good though it wears an ugly
face at times.

-Drizzt Do’Urden

 

A black-skinned elf the size of a short, slender human walks into the
sorting room. His long, thick white hair falls over the white, direwolf fur
stoll of his green cloak. He is wearing a nice gray shirt over plain
leather leggings and high black boots. A sword is strapped to each
hip.

He walks in and looks at the application, taking a quill and
pondering.

 

1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?

Drizzt had to laugh at the random question. The rumors he had heard that
this magic school was akin to something the Harpell’s might run were true,
though he hoped it was better managed than anything attached to that
eccentric wizard family.

“I’m rather partial to cheddar,” he wrote. “One has to be a true artisan
with milk to make it well. It always reminds me of the hospitality some
farmers outside Silverymoon would show me in my travels.”

2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?

Drizzt had to give this one some thought. He was not too familiar with
either of these individuals, whether they were humanoid or monsters.

“It depends,” Drizzt said, “I like to consider myself as a reasonable
creature trying to give the benefit of the doubt. However, the first one
who truly crosses my lines will die; maybe both depending on the
situation, simple as that.”

3. What time is it where you are?

“It is early morning,” Drizzt said with a small smile. “I have this personal
habit of watching the sun rise every morning and I embarked on my
journey after sun up. It’s a sentimental thing, it happens often with me.”

4. If you were Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead, which
member of the Order of the Phoenix would you sexually harass?
How would you harass them? If you are Albus Dumbledore, please
answer as if you were Sirius Black.

Drizzt rolled his eyes at this question, not knowing whether to find
it humorous or offensive. Bawdy was probably the best word for it;
likely not malicious.

“I am not personally fond of the term ‘sexual harassment,’” Drizzt said.
“However I guess if I were to try to…court one of them,” the words were
lost on Drizzt for a moment. The only woman he had ever courted was
Catti-brie and even that was clumsy and painful. Alustriel was just a friend
who he had become a little too friendly with and regretted it later and the
priestesses at graduation from Tier-Breche was attempted assault in
his book. It was too painful to even think on Innovindil. “I suppose I
would spend time with all of them and let matters… work themselves
out.” He actually felt pitiful for a moment, remembering Innovindil’s
words about “learning what it is to be an elf.” Maybe more could be
learned from this new experience.

5. If you are pushing to be in:

A. Slytherin - please state the clever, witty name of the bar in which
you bartend, in the dark.

“I don’t know, the Ugly Dragon,” Drizzt said. “The most colorful
establishments seem to have the most entertaining names. I could see
it as a random tavern in Waterdeep.”

B. Gryffindor – Debate whether Harry should ultimately end up married
to Fred or George. Use examples from a variety of world mythologies
to bolster your argument.

Drizzt did have to give a spirited chuckle at this one, finding it a bit r
efreshing to consider two males legally engaged in matrimony, a
concept he was still trying to figure out, it was so rare to hear of
such an equal arrangement. It just made sense.

“I suppose Harry should go with his heart on this one,” Drizzt said.
“I know Fred and George are both scoundrels, though good natured
ones and not villains, which I can respect. I am a little rusty on my
mythology and try to remain so. The only mythology I am aware of
involves a demon spider, nothing I would want to discuss in much
length.”

C. Ravenclaw – You guys are supposed to be smart. Explain why
my desk is inundated with paperwork at all times, even though
I’m constantly disposing of it.

“Maybe it’s magically reappearing paperwork,” he said with a sly
smile. “I bet if you check someone put a multiplying charm on that
paperwork. I bet a good counterspell could fix that.”

He refrained from making a comment about the curse of being a
bureaucrat.

D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.

He cocked an eyebrow at this question. Oh how he loved to be
challenged.

“Well, I am a ranger with much experience in the most unforgiving
lands in Toril, from the caverns of the Underdark, the tundra of
Icewind Dale, and the Calim Desert to name a few. As for my…other
skills.” He didn’t want to brag, but sometimes he had to indulge. He
drew one of his swords, twirling it in a rapid motion around his wrist
one second and in over the shoulder and in the opposite hand another.

6. Offer a bribe to the members of this community so that they will not
squib you. Items used in bribery do not necessarily have to belong to
the person offering the bribe. Do not threaten us rather than offering a
bribe. A threat indicates you either don't really want to be here, or
don't have enough sense to answer the question properly. The hat
will automatically squib you, regardless of other votes, if you do.

Drizzt knew it would come to this. Nothing ever came free with most
people. He reached into his belt and produced a large bag of gold, given
to him by Bruenor as a going away present for purposes like this.
He weighed the bag, which filled the palm of his slender hand.

“This is only a start,” he said. “There is plenty more where this came
from. If you are truly…wanting I know of a few other caches that once
belonged to certain individuals, dragons to be exact.”
