User:Chekhov MacGuffin/Handedness

This is a guide to various character's handedness.

General assumptions

For opening doors, regardless of a character’s actual handedness, characters use the hand on same side as the hinges when opening or closing both push and pull type doors. This avoids having the arm cross awkwardly over the body while opening or shutting it.

When holding two things or doing things with two hands, the dominant hand will be holding or doing the thing that is most interesting, dangerous, or precision-requiring unless a door is involved or would require a dropping of the guard, i.e. switching gun hands while aiming it at someone. Cell phones will tend to get held in a character’s dominant hand while driving for instance.

When handling guns, the dominant hand goes on trigger while the offhand stabilizes.
