'Assassins' and 'Mistaken Identity'

After talking with Neil, I thought that it would be a god idea to go back to looking at what a Falcon actually is in much more detail; How does it live its life? Is there any type of person that behaves in a similar way to a Falcon? What does it look like overall? What does it do?

The first thing I thought of when I looked at how a Falcon lives its life is that it hunts by being ridiculously fast and catching its prey off guard. This was a bit hard to narrow down as to what kind of things in real life are analogous to it, however, once I factored in the relationship between a Falcon and a Falconer, everything suddenly made sense; it's the relationship of a master and a servant, and when you think of fast, stealthy killings combined with a master and servant relationship, you think of Ninjas and Assassins;




Another thing I noticed was how the silhouette of a falcon looks very similar to the silhouette of something like a House Marten or a Swallow, which could lead onto an interesting story about how someone who's never seen a Falcon before finds one and mistakes it for a very large Swift. Alternatively, a pair of Falcons mistake a swift for one of their own and decide to take care of it.



Again, these are little more than loose concepts at the moment, but they're still interesting angles that the subject of a Falcon would allow me to take.
