Is your character left or right handed?

I have been thinking about this for ages where Kylo Ren is concerned and now that I've read this question I've finally sat down and done all the proper reading to try and answer it once and for all.

 

Kylo Ren exhibits an incredible amount of traits that left-handed/right-brain people do, such as:

  • susceptibility to neurological disorders;
  • difficulties controlling negative feelings, such as anger;
  • being slower to develop and mature;
  • using feelings instead of logic;
  • philosophy and religion;
  • being impetuous;
  • and, being a risk-taker.

The mythos behind left-handedness fits his character well too, for example that being left-handed is bad, evil, a sign of the Devil, or otherwise alluding to poor moral character or supernatural abilities.

 

But. In the movie. He expressly uses his right hand as his dominant hand.

 

It's possible that, as a child, he was "corrected" and taught to use his right hand instead of his left before being left-dominant really set in. He exhibits a lot of symptoms of this being the case as well, such as:

  • feelings of inferiority;
  • shyness; introversion; overcompensation;
  • defiance to belligerence; braggadocio; provocative behavior;
  • and, emotional problems that can last into adulthood with neurotic and/or psychosomatic symptomology; and personality disturbances.

(Taken from this site.)

 

All in all, even that would fit into the concept of the character- that he's pretending to be someone he's not.

 

SO TO ANSWER THE QUESTION! Kylo Ren is right-handed but was born left-handed.

Vesta is left handed.
Skie is ambidextrous

Everyone else is assumedly right handed.

For me this varies as it will for most. My characters are predominantly right handed. A few exceptions are:

 

Elizabeth: Left handed

Alice: Left handed, self taught ambidextrous

Aurora: Ambedextrous

Nico: Left handed

 

I'm sure I have a few other scragglers but these are the ones that I can think of right now.

Kana: Right handed.
Gabriella: Left.
Vincent: Left.
Richard: Right

 

For a leftie, I have a predominently right handed character base.

This is really interesting. I never really thought about it before? As a right-handed person I suppose I just sub-consciously assume all my characters are too.

 

For my Lavellan character, or any Inquisitor I suppose, you see the anchor in their left hand and they hold their weapon in their right hand (unless they're dual bladed ofc). I suppose you could have Inquisitors that are ambidextrous.

 

I'd probably say my current Inquisitor is right-handed.

Jester was born right-handed, but he taught himself to use his left hand just to show off.

All my characters are left-handed. I have a couple of traits I like to give all my characters as a sort of 'easter egg', and one of them is that they're all left-handed.

She’s right-handed, and that’s probably a good thing considering in one AU her left was cut off.

Two of my characters are right handed, but my sweet cinnamon roll girl is a leftie. (And she suffers from ink/pencil lead on her hand all the time.)
