A lot has changed in the world in the short time that humans have walked this earth. Cars, airplanes, wifi, buildings touching the skies, landing on the moon...and as we evolve, so does the art of crime, and in return, the art of crime solving. One of the finest and greatest men I have ever met, Is a man named Sherlock Holmes.

I made his acquaintance some years ago. He was... Interesting. Straight forward. A man who showed no sympathy... But even so, he allowed me to be his roommate at 221b Baker Street, and I was indulged in his career. He was a "Private consulting detective" the only one in the world. He was the man the police turned to when they couldn't solve a case... It's fascinating how his mind works, and makes the most complex cases look like a three piece puzzle...

I have become his assistant, advising him on medical or military type encounters we face. It has been three years since we have first met, and these are our adventures.


RULES:
1) This is a modern day Sherlock Holmes RP! I would prefer using characters used in the Holmes universe, and you are more than welcome to add your own touches on the character!
2)This will be a multi-genre RP. Romance, crime, mystery, action, and other things! please keep it PG-13
3) Either we will all work together to think of a cool case to incorporate everyone, or Sherlock and Watson will do that, so if you would please at the end of your CS add whether it should be a group think or just Sherlock and John

ROLES: If you want to create your own character, please send me a PM and i'll see if its okay

Name: Dr. John Watson

Age: 30

Appearance:
I chose to use "Sherlock's" Watson, feel free to use whoever's image you want!

Bio: I'm mostly a doctor, and a military man. I studied medicine at King's College, and after that I served in the Royal Army Medical Corps in Afghanistan... I was an excellent doctor and surgeon... But after a bit, my military days were over. I was shot in my right leg, left shoulder, and had a tremor in my left hand. I was broke, struggling to find a job that would hire a wounded veteran... An old friend of mine then introduced me to a man looking for a roommate to help split rent. It was rather cheap, so I eagerly accepted. That man was Sherlock Holmes. From the very start he was able to read my life with just the clothes I wore and how I stood.

It was awkward at first. We were completely different, but I was so fascinated in his work. it was so much more exciting than job hunting in London all day... He then invited me to join him on a case, where I soon found out what he did. To say the least, it was interesting. I soon found out that Sherlock was much smarter than I expected, that he dealt with serious crimes, and he had many enemies... At the end of it though, my limp was gone, as well as my tremor, and we both found out that we made quite a pair... I simply missed the danger of fighting, and having my life in jeopardy... that's why I agreed to be Sherlock's assistant. We have worked together for three years now, and since I find these adventures so interesting, I started to create a blog, making Sherlock and I (mostly Sherlock) a sensation, and giving us more work.. We still live in 221b Baker Street to this day, solving cases anyone brings to us.

Job: Assistant Consultant Detective

Personality: compassionate, extremely loyal to friends, and courageous. Unlike Sherlock, can be compassionate, has an easier time to talk to people, and has a wide sense of humor. Never regrets a decision I make.

Skills: An excellent Doctor and Surgeon. Experienced in hand to hand combat, as well as firearms experience. Also has learned a thing or two from Sherlock, but nothing compared to him

Accepted!

and as I think about it, most of the secondary characters won't have much of a bio, so you are welcome to make on up yourself, or just leave it blank

All I ask is that the personality is close to what is was in the books/movies/shows hahaha

Name
Sebastian "Basher" Moran

Age
37

Bio
Sebastian Moran came from old money. His father a famed ex-soldier with more honours and medals than shelf-space to display them, and his mother a simple house wife. The Moran estate was a vast expanse of land and luxurious, palatial mansion. Even as a child, Sebastian had always known that he wanted to be a soldier. His father often took him out on hunts, during which the young Sebastian showed an unusual affinity with long-range firearms. These hunting trips would be the only form of familial bonding that Sebastian and his father ever had.

Studying at Eton College, he forwent his final years to attend the University of Oxford. Sebastian begun a degree in International Relations in a last ditch effort to earn the respect and love of his Father. When that failed, Sebastian abandoned his degree and enlisted in the army reserves and climbed the ranks, quickly earning the notorious (and at the time playful) title of “The Most Dangerous Man in London.”

While he was serving in Afghanistan, he received a letter from back home telling him that his sister had died in the hospital after several physical abuse. Upon hearing the news of his father’s beatings being turned on his sister, Sebastian lost control. They were supposed to be his injuries, and he needed to protect his little sister. In his blind rage, he tore apart half his camp-site, shooting and killing one man and severely injuring eight others. His actions landed him not only a dishonourable discharge but a prison sentence. Sebastian's father, not wanting the Moran name to be soiled, used his connections and pulled some strings in order to keep the incident quiet and absolved him of his imprisonment.

When it became difficult to find work after discharge from prison and the army, he turned to hired killing. His clean, quick and discreet kills quickly drew attention in the criminal world and he was picked up by one Jim Moriarty.

Working as Jim’s right hand man, Sebastian is the one who hands out the orders that Moriarty is too busy to give, takes kills that require the most delicate of discretion and handles “firing” any employee Moriarty finds tiring. Now he is referred to as “the Second Most Dangerous Man in London” and he is perfectly content with that.

Job
Hired gun and Moriarty's personal bodyguard.

Personality
Anyone who knows Sebastian knows that what you see is what you get. He’s never been the type to hide behind shrouds of mystery, of playing games and manipulating people to get what he wants. He was raised to be a straight shooter. While he knows the importance of lying and putting on a facade in the business world, he doesn’t really respect those who do it in real life. Nothing pisses him off more than when he thinks he’s being lied to or being manipulated.

He’s impulsive as the day is long and says and does things on a whim, especially in his personal life. Sebastian's quite the man with mood swings, even if he has some measure of control over them, making him highly unpredictable. He can be fine and normal for one and belligerently mad the next. Some people think his mood swings to be so spread out in spectrum that he's bipolar, but there has been no medical proof. Somewhat of an adrenaline junkie, he thrives on adventure and change, and those people who like things to stay in a certain order and live by routine bore him. That being said, he has his father’s temper. He’s never been one to back down from a fight. He’s quite the hothead, and very rarely if ever bothers to hide his emotions. He values those who are loyal, and has very little patience for apathy and unwarranted snark. As far as he’s concerned, if you’re going to be a dick, at least be funny about it.

Skills
He’s an extremely skilled marksman, and has an extensive knowledge of weaponry. Apart from that, Sebastian is an excellent hand-to-hand combatist, having been trained in various forms of martial arts. Plus, he is particularly good at thinking on his feet. There isn’t a moment of hesitation when he kills someone. A clear, concise plan always erupts in his mind before he has the ability to stop it.

Other
Sebastian has a scar running down the left side of his face, through his eye, and another one running perpendicular to it. As for tattoos, he has one of a Bengal tiger spanning the entirety of his back.
