Ten years have passed since the disappearance of the World's Greatest Detective, the last one to bear the badge of the Meitantei, also known as the Badge of Pallas, during the investigation of his most mysterious case.

A whole decade after this mysterious event, the granddaughter of the previous Meitantei decided to issue a world wide competition to choose who will be the next one to inherit the title of World's Greatest Detective. Those invited to the competition received a letter containing but a riddle and a blank world map, only those who could decipher it would be admitted on the competition, which came to be known as the... Detective Wars.
18xx, Annabel Island, Southern Pacific

Annabel Island, a formerly uninhabited island a few days off of the coast of Southern Australia, that was the stage chosen to hold the competition between the 12 best detectives of the whole world as well as their assistants. The granddaughter of the previous Meitantei spent a fair share of her fortune to built a modern days city as well as other installations on the island, including a Train Station that is the only link between Annabel City and the Docks, which connect the island to the outside world.

Completely cut from the outside world, save for a single phone line on the Granddaughter's Mansion, the competitors will have to solve a series of riddles, until someone claims the ultimate prize, the Badge of Pallas itself, as well as the tittle of Meitantei.
Plot

Welcome all!

As you can see this is my attempt at doing a detective mystery RP (something that's seriously lacking around here), there's not much description because the story should be very straightforward for anyone that's into this genre. To put it simply, 12 -or is it 13?- of the best detectives of the world, each with their own ways of solving mysteries, be it through science, pure intellect, or even alleged paranormal means are stuck on an island in the middle of the South Pacific, competing for the title of World's Best Detective, or Meitantei, since this RP has a lot of inspiration on anime detective fiction.

Whoever wins the competition will be showered with praises and fame, as well as the Badge of Pallas, the Goddess of Wisdom who guides all detectives, believe them or not. While it's not a explicitly supernatural artifact, the Badge is made of solid gold and does give the wearer a world wide jurisdiction to investigate mysteries, certainly a prize worthy the challenge. But, is it just so simple of a game? Well, that's what we are about to find.

Soon enough...

CS is a WIP!

Name: Nathaniel 'Nathan' Alstrad

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Nationality: Born British, raised American

Appearance: WIP

Personality: Nathan is a quiet, reserved person. Very 'bookish', he spends more time with books than he does interacting with other people. This has lead him over his life to have a bit of a weird outlook on things, being able to persuade or coerce people with his words simply because he views them as characters in his own story, as opposed to people. His book smarts assist him in his line of work, referencing works off the top of his head to help him connect he dots in many situatons.

Bio: Nathan was born in the British Isles, his family moving early in his life across the water to the newer nation of America. He spent his childhood living on a plantation, tucked away in his room pouring over books. He was smart, and reaching his teens he found himself using the knowledge he'd attained from his studies to help people in ways he could. Working backwards through their day to help find lost items, using minor clues to solve thefts, a few times even finding missing animals. It became a passion of his, and once he'd become old enough he began traveling the States perfecting his craft and solving bigger and bigger cases. He worked with many of the authorities throughout the country, and began stowing away on boats to move between continents, learning the trade from some of the greatest minds the world had to offer on the subject.

Well, everyone, I'm sorry for the silence there last couple days, but finally I have time for this. Let us begin, then.

@HatBF@1Hawkeyes@sassy1085

Even though the concepts of those characters are good, I can't give a real evaluation to WIPs, when you are done I'll be looking at them again.

@Mega Birb

Your character is ok. You can post him on the CS tab, FOR MOTHER RUSSIA!

Alright >.> prob could do more, but after checking some of the other time stamps I'm a bit curious if this is still a thing. Not that I can really complain, it took me a week to get this. Anywho, here's me.

While I have no official say here, Fabio looks pretty solid, in my eyes at least. Not sure about Eris, as long as she isn't as edgy as the other Eris we all know and love.

Sorry for not replying earlier, but that post came right around the time I was going to sleep. Either way, your characters are good, you can post them.

@KoL


Very funny...



Either way, let's hope we can get at least a couple more players for this one, then I'll begin the RP. With less then that there's not even enough people for a round of the competition, much less to investigate the main mystery.

I'll give this until the end of the week, if no more interest appears, I'll have to freeze this and reboot in a better timing.

Guess I'll freeze this RP and reboot it on a better timing. This attempt has died before it even began, such a pity.

Sure, I may do it around these coming vacations, since it's more likely people will have free time by then.
