If you avoid rangering, dual scimitar wielding, and black panther befriending you should be fine. Maybe the latter two more than anything. That said, you could create an elderly, overweight, nearsighted, female Drow cleric of Knowledge and you'd still have to put up with Drizzt jokes, so there's that.

Play a caster?

 

[LordEntrails]

Be original? I mean is every dwarf Gimli? Is every ranger Aragorn?

There is no escaping the Gary-Stu that is Drizzt. He is everywhere...he could be anyone. He might even be you and you don't know it. And, he will kill you with his lightning-fast speshul scimitars of Salvatore BadA$$dom (TM).

There is no escape...

Sure. Make a Heavy Weapon wielding Drow Barbarian.

Be the Drow Wulfgar. He was always the foil to Drizzt anyway. Strong where Drizzt was quick and impatient where Drizzt was patient. Edit: even flawed where Drizzt was so gary-stu'd.

Be original? I mean is every dwarf Gimli?

Well... yeah, pretty much.

 

[LordEntrails]

Is every ranger Aragorn?

Or Drizzt?

 

[Wiseblood]

Easy peasy, make a drow that acts like a drow.
