The Doppelgangaz - In The Black

After watching John Wick series all week I got some ideas to revamp a character for In the Black who initially I wrote as a note but now want to do more with.
He is an Arkat- A member of an order of Assassins that had been pretty much destroyed by the end of the Great War. These Assassins followed old laws for their god Kalclok that only those who create life may take it. Which typically made it an order of warrior mothers. Although transmen and non-binary individuals would also be allowed to join as it didn't matter what you identified as, only that you had given birth.
Some time during the war, he lost his eyesight. I'm thinking it may have been during a fight with one of his marks. Still working that out. So now he's a blind Assassin with a 7yo daughter whom he takes with him as he travels for a mark because it wouldn't be safe to leave her in town with his family as the temple to the order has fallen and none of them are trained fighters.
So his daughter usually hangs out in their hotel room and colors with crayons while waiting for dad to come home. She's probably trained in a little self-defense.

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.

if a character means enough to me i will truly never stop thinking about them. i just retire them into a little back room in my brain and periodically bring them out to stare at them under a little light
