Description Okay, so for my character meme, *PoldalleLovesnare asked about my character Quicksilver! I haven't drawn Quicksilver in awhile so it was a nice treat indeed.

Where the name is from:

Colbi Quicksilver is the male alias of Colbi'Fyoar Ssambra. In the story she takes on the name Quicksilver for her male form because that was what Calix called him. Honestly, I just wasn't very creative with drow names at the time and I wanted him to have pretty hair. Ssambra was a random drow surname I liked, Fyoar just sounded cool and Colbi means "Destruction" ^_^

Random facts about his creation:
a) I was playing way too many online RPG's and really wanted a duessa with the highest duessa ability, to change freely back and forth between male and female. That was the coolest race idea I have ever seen online.
b) She became a drow cause I like drow and I said so and made the male/female alter self a part of fey bloodline instead of being a race.
c) At first Quicksilver was a strong opposition to Calix, then the more I played around with their hatred the more screwed up their story became. I don't even remember how it started now, but I'm betting it was something simple.
d) Quicksilver was such a bad guy at first but now is more or less an anti-hero. After all, Eilistraee is in there, somewhere. SHE is the main of the two and her features always show, thus why I chose to draw Quicksilver between forms in the pic here.
e) I've always wondered why Quicksilver is such an evil SOB as a male and a loving person as a female, and said it was all about the hormones. But since he is Eilistraee's incarnate and now in the pantheon she has absorbed Vhaeraun it makes more sense to have an more evil male form and female good form.

Favorite:
Colour: Silvery blue
Book: His own spellbook, or one of his magic essays. She would rather something clerical.
Song: Suffocate - Finger Eleven
Band: Evanescence
Movie: Maybe... ah... Pans Labyrinth

Backstory:

Briefly cause it's a stupidly long story. Colbi was born during a strange period of elven history to a surface circle. Because of her innate ability to change her sex and how she could draw the power of the moon, they quickly figured out that she was Eilistraee's incarnation. This meant the purpose of her birth was to oppose whoever Lolth choose to place on Earth as a champion who in this case was Calix Ssambra. She was on Haera from day one to play our the story of the two gods over again. She used her male form under the alias of "Quicksilver" to get high withing the regards of the human nation Calix was railing on at the time so she could get her hands on him. There she is now remaining as a He. The "Archmage Colbi Quicksilver."

Colbi'Fyoar belongs to me, no touching!

It's so soft and MAGICAAAAL. And I like the moon a whole lot. It looks real. D: God and all those pretty folds ... and her hair is STUNNING JEEZ.

Oooouuuuhh I love Colbi. C: She's so cool to play with - the few times I've gotten to, back in the old campaign. And Quicksilver is of course fantasmo. But I really do love Colbi~ <3 she's a darling.

The mooooooon The moon was fun to paint. I never get to do stuff where their sorta... together... they are such a neat character, I enjoy them. I enjoy how everyone bitches about "those siblings" and the people who hate Colbi love Quicksilver and the people who hate Quicksilver love Colbi. Amused!!!

omg!!!! that arm is to die for!!!! sooooo pretty! I want to hold his/her hand just because it's so lifelike and ...delicate and elegant! and I love the drape of the cloth ...and the whole effect of surrealness and the moon's glow!!! this is beautiful!!!!!! enchanting hehehehe and a lovely blend of beautiful feminine and soft masculine qualities


lol and indeed...I'd never even thought of the fact that now "Vhaerun" is part of "Eilistraee" and it fits for Colbi's two forms hehehehe he/she still remains one of the ones that most intrigues me a lot because of the dual personnas/forms

ok let's see if I can remember the stuff I thought up last night @.@ likely not but here goes lol

damn what was the order...oh well gonna have to go with what comes to mind when it does.....



ok, so Quicksilver, you were born female...so what was it like when the male side arose? was it like a whole new being/entity/mind? or was it like awakening another part of yourself? how did it happen? when did you realize?

which side do you use more often these days?

to the female side= would you enjoy pining over books for hours at a time? to the male= would you enjoy dancing under the moonlight?

are you always aware of both sides at all times? like able to hear thoughts of one another or are your thoughts the same? does one remain "dormant" while the other is "out"?

more to you, about Quicksilver, was it then if I follow this correctly the male side that met Calix...but the female side that fell in love? and if so, then does the male side love Calix as well? and there's a child...right? how do both sides feel towards the child ?

to the male side [since I know at least he does like wine] what's your fav wine?

ummm...I think that's it and likely 10 or more anyways...so I'll leave it at that....can't remember if I had any others to ask anyway

Couldn't tell ya. I'm been switching back and forth since before I can remember. Apparently I did it not long after I was born. The woman of the grove encouraged it, so it became habitual. Like choosing what necklace to wear. No biggy.

Normally I would say my male side. Because it makes things easy where I live in Einiphal. But the last year or so there has been a lot of uproar in Lother and Kirse so I've been female more tending to that. It's kind of refreshing.

Colbi: I don't mind books or researching at all. I wouldn't be totally delighted about it, but it would be enjoyable. Quicksilver: I do it on occasion, but it's no great hobby.

All of my... our... thoughts are the same. I am aware of each side but yes, I suppose 'dormant' is a good word for what it's like. I can do certain things in one form that doesn't bother, but when I switch suddenly I will be bothered by it. Also, if I cook up a plan or make plans in one form, I can carry it through in the other. It's not like I have two brains, just two bodies. With key hormonal differences.

It was the female in me that met and loved Calix. I loved him too once, as a partner and friend, but not as a lover. He came to know me so I could learn magic before it fully died out. As for the child. That's... a bit strange as I'd have to ask which one? I can only assume you mean our son Tarquinn. I loved him dearly no matter what my shape. He was my son. He will always be such.

My favorite wine, hmm? I like a good Bordeaux dessert wine myself.
