The New Detectives (OOC)

[Luna Griffith]

The year is 2014. The letters had been sent out. In each one is a map to a mansion, a time to be there, and an invite to dinner and a murder. The letter were sent to only famous detectives, well their children at least. Each child has the abilities of their parents, from deductive reasoning to prowess of observation. It just so happened that the children followed in their parents' footsteps, calling them the new generation. They don't know when the murder will take place, who the victim is, and most importantly who did it. Will it be the Butler? The maid? The host? Or one of them? Could mysticism be the weapon of choice or could it be the weapons of mankind? Only time will tell.

Rules:

I will set up a clue when I see fit. No one detective will automatically find a clue. I want to see how people solve the crimes. More than one person can find a clue.
Only three children to a detective. The children can be played by multiple people but only three children.
No one can automatically know who did it. Only the GM knows. That doesn't mean that my character will know.
A detective can be a murderer. I will take pms from people who want to be the murderer. If they find a clue they can hide it if they want.
The detective children can be from any mystery stories. From Books, T.V., or Movies. If there are many spins on a detective tell me which spin are they from.
Play Nice and may the best detective win.

Bio:

Accepted Characters:

Name: Alicia Jane
Age: 20
Parent: Patrick Jane
Appearance: (The blonde)
Bio: After Red John's capture, Patrick Jane finally settled down. He raised a family, though he learned his lesson from Red John. He no longer was a fake psychic. He continued to consult for the CBI, enjoying that much more. Though if he wasn't consulting he felt like he was wasting time. He didn't have much time for his child(ren). He didn't see that Alicia was walking right in his footsteps. She had gotten a consulting job with the FBI, going with them everywhere to help in whatever cases that might challenge her. She was working when she got the news that her father died in a car accident, which to this day she doesn't think it wasn't an accident.

Name: Jack Holmes
Age: 18
Parent: Sherlock Holmes (Modern)
Appearance:
Bio: As a young boy Jack had always admired his fathers ability to be able to solve crimes and see things that nobody else could really spot at a crime seen. When he was about 5 years old he went on one of his fathers more easier investigations with him to find a missing locket. Jack soon became fascinated with crimes and solving riddles. He trained with his dad up to when he was 16 and went out on his own to test his knowledge.

Name: Elizabeth Holmes.
Age: 20
Parent: Sherlock Holmes
Appearance:

Bio: BBC version Sherlock Holmes, makes it modern.
Holmes never really took to any one woman, or at least any one woman that could stay around him long enough. Thankfully, someone found his little snipit in the newspaper, an managed to track down the detective in question. Elizabeth, a street urchin with no real parents, took to the art of deduction immedietly, and showed great promise in the technique. Holmes, when she was relatively old enough to take care of herself, took her completely under his wing and allowed her to take on his surname as payment. Since then, Miss Liz has made quite a name for herself amongst the crime-solving community, even putting up a website version of the art of deduction.[/QUOTE]

B]Name[/B]: Lady Lucasta Harriet Wimsey-Smythe

Age: 69

Parents: Lord Peter Death Bredon Wimsey, and Harriet Vane

Appearance:

-
-
Bio: Born May the fifth, nineteen hundred and forty-two, my father always said as the English were invading Madagascar, I was invading Tallboys. The fourth of five children, and the only daughter, I was, I admit, horridly spoiled by my father. My mother, on the other hand, was the sensible one who kept me bound to terra firma. As a pair, they imbued me with both a grounded base in the here-and-now and a capacity for capriciousness and laughter.
-
Mother went to her eternal reward in nineteen eighty three, and my father died four days after his centennial, August 2, nineteen ninety. My eldest brother Bredon died in New Zealand in the seventies, a boating accident, and Roger had a heart attack in two thousand and four, but Paul is still doing well. He followed our maternal father's path into medicine and has a successful surgery in North Kent. The baby, Mervyn, left for San Francisco, California in the sixties and after a time where we all feared he'd sink into decadence forever, he came out the other side, quite literally as it was in New York he settled, as a solicitor and eventually, a judge.
-
As for myself, I suffered from what my mother referred to as 'the family curse'. I did well in school but found little in the way of interest amongst the offerings I was allowed. I have ever balked at the bindings of propriety, I, like Mother and Father, have always been prone to the allure of mystery. Finding out why and where and who. Father said that a crime-minded person, that is a person who thinks of crimes without the desire to commit them, was much like the mind of a farmer. We think only of our plots and we love to dig. I might have followed Uncle Charles and Peterkin into the Yard, but when I was young, a pair of lady officers were attacked and father would never allow talk of such a path for myself.
-
I took over, instead, my father's little side business which he began between the wars. When he opened the agency, it was, outwardly at least, a secretarial pool, where women who, due to being widowed, or simply unsuited to marriage, could find work. Of course, it was also a wonderful aid to him as 'his superfluous women' often acted as unlicensed investigators in father's cases. Renaming it Talon, after both my childhood homes (Tallboys and London), we handle investigations of everything from spousal infidelity to industrial espionage.[/QUOTE]

[Luna Griffith]

Ravenwood can you tell me if you are using the modern sherlock holmes?

Cobra your character needs to be a little older. I said no younger than 18. And are you also using the modern day sherlock holmes as his father. If not please explain how he got to be in 2014.

If you fix it then you both will be accepted.

[Platinum cobra]

Sorry i read the age thing wrong and yeah its the modern day one.

[Luna Griffith]

Then you are accepted. I will add yours to the list of Accepted people.

[Ravenwoodwitch]

I changed mine to say it was modern. Do I need to shift something else?

[Luna Griffith]

Ravenwood you didn't need to change anything else. So you and Fire are accepted.

[Luna Griffith]
