CHARACTER INFO
Character: Sherlock Holmes Canon: post game Armada: Paladin
About: Sherlock is a 23 year old Victorian still very much learning how to be a consulting detective. He's more emotional than the average Holmes and is. trying. his. best. He hasn't gone on any of the cases he's known for yet. His first adventure with John Watson is chasing a Cthulhu cult across the world. He also got genre shifted from a detective mystery game to a detective horror game. It's rough. He has trouble sleeping because he has nightmares of drowning in the Abyss and Cthulhu because he saw things no human can understand. He also has trouble knowing what is reality because of said horrors and from a childhood with an imaginary friend/tupla named Jon(athan, not John Watson) from age 6 to 21 as a mental/emotional trauma defense.
Sherlock's application: cw: for child abuse, medical malpractice, and mental illness topics
Abilities: - Normal Human - Marksmanship with a pistol - Consulting Detective: but with shaken confidence - Violin - Acting and disguise - Sketching - Weakened mental fortitude: Sherlock is more susceptible to mental/emotional based powers or suggestion due previous detachments from reality and now from Cthulhu influences which have revealed to him glimpses beyond what humans normally perceive. While that could be a liability, it's also a chance for outside entities to possess or speak through him for a short bit and cause his eyes to go eerily pale and clouded. (Note for potential RP shenanigans more than it being an actual power/ability Sherlock can consciously use.)
No tattoo yet - he has too much cultist trauma to even think about it
PLANS
General: Short term goals: getting him help with his sleeping problems, working on removing/reducing his seasickness, him realizing that all this isn't him losing his mind and is real, getting him a violin. Oh and him getting used to the idea that this blond Mycroft is another version of his brother.
Long term goals: get this boy some self confidence, self worth, and finding himself again, put him on the path to becoming his own version of Sherlock Holmes rather than someone who feels like he's failing at every turn
MANTA Board: - Two Truths and a Lie - Paladin: Supply Side Logic (maybe, not 100% sure) - Paladin: Stroking the Haft Event: Will probably top level and tag around regardless of what the event it
CR Dreams: - Friends who like him not because he's Sherlock Holmes consulting detective but Sherlock Holmes the young man - People with who he can learn how to live instead of survive - Musicians, scientists - He can be a target to tease or help because as smart as he is, he is naive in other areas Pinning over a close someone is a Holmes Family Trait - Has your character ever looked at someone, saw a mess, and went for the adoption papers? Adopt him - Anyone with mental/emotional powers can have some fun with Sherlock, and I'm happy to provide information for shenanigans
Etc.: In Sherlock's world there are: Sherlock Holmes, Jon, John Watson, Watkinson, Holman, and mention of the older Frogwares Holmes counterpart. His canon touches the 4th Wall a lot. There are references from the various adaptations everywhere, and I think it accounts for some of Sherlock's madness and feeling like he never fits. Things are out of order, referenced by other people, and so on.
I have no problem with characters knowing or being fans of Sherlock Holmes in general, just not that he's the specific fictional video game character. People will definitely get the sense that he's the young man who is supposed to grow to be the famous detective... but things happened.
Also Cordona is a made up island by Frogwares. Sherlock will speak of the island, but it won't be on any map unless someone is from his canon. Even more confusion for him.
