my DM and I are getting into a pretty annoying argument
after a total party wipe we all started with new characters, he tells me to create characters based on flavor rather than min-maxing (which i rarely do anyways) however he has recently called me out on my new proposed character, an Elf Rogue with a focus on crossbows
he refuses to believe that an individual elf would take to using a crossbow rather than a regular bow
ive given him the basics, my elf is an urban elf and a rogue, i have yet to explain that he was orphaned and taken into a local thieves guild and was properly trained with a crossbow from a young age
what do i do, at this point if i explain the latter points he'll just wave it away as justification

Frankly, it's none of his damn business. Your character, your choice. He really has no say in the matter.
Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.

ok, perhaps i should have explained, hes letting me play him, hes just very very unhappy with it, to the point where when we hit the drow city he'll probably find any and everyway to kill me

Sounds like a jerk.

My PC is playing a warforged wizard/cleric hybrid with 23 AC at level 2 who only uses blasts n melee and is the closest thing our party has to a defender. I think its completely fine. Salla is right, sounds like a jerk.

Quit.
Simply state that you have lost interest, and can be contacted over XBL/PSN/Steam/whatever.
If however, you do continue and the inevitible plot-murder ensues, simply write "jr" next to the name on your character sheet and play the same damn character again.
Then wander off to go play videogames when the complaining starts.

The invalidity of his argument aside, any player or DM that would passive-aggressively take his OOG issues out on you in game is a person I would reconsider playing with.

 Too bad. Sounds like he could really use some lessons in the magic of friendship.

sigh unfortunately hes a good friend and one of the only locals who DMs (besides me) in this surfer town that i know of
he recently decided to scrap the campaign and restart everyone at level 1, but i guess im not too hurt seeing as how much i hate drow (all underdark campaign before)
ill just have to work it out, we have a habit of trolling each other, i just have to play the most in bound passive aggressive character i can work
im thinking eladrin bladesinger

Just go straight-up Human Fighter, configured all about combat.
If your DM scoffs at meangingless archetype tweaks, just play the most bland and boring concept of them all.
