Name Herlock Sholmes Age 34 Born 19th Century
Sexuality ??? Occupation Consulting Detective VoiceAbsurdly British

About.

Consulting detective renowned for his powers of deduction, logic, and innovation in the forensic sciences. His exploits are recorded by his flatmate/foster daughter, Iris Wilson and are serialized in Randst Magazine. Unlike his Conan Doyle counterpart, Sholmes' famous deductions don't always hit their mark.

First impressions.

Visual. Sholmes has all of the typical trappings of his classical counterpart--deerstalker cap, overcoat and pipe--with an added assortment of steampunk-esque accoutrements.

Demeanor.Eccentric, nosy, dramatic, and confidently incorrect (when he's not stating the obvious.) However, given the right circumstances, a more serious Sholmes may manifest.

In Character.

PHYSICAL AFFECTION. Sure. Lay it on him.

PHYSICAL VIOLENCE. Down for mild, canon-typical violence.

ROMANCE. Given Sholmes' nature (forgetful, whimsical, occasionally histrionic), attempted relationships could be ... trying. If it comes up, I prefer to write within the approximate tone and "rating" of the source material. Note: No characters under 25, unless you want a gentle IC rejection.

OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS. Mild Victorian ignorance?

Out of Character.

BACKTAGGING. Absolutely.

THREADHOPPING. Ask first.

FOURTHWALLING. Happy to roll with it. On a meta level, I'm also fine with some Sholmes vs. Legit Holmes shenanigans, either the character himself or people recognizing him as the literary figure.

FORMATTING. I'm flexible, but prefer prose for involved threads, brackets for casual threads. I default to present tense, but past is also fine.
