Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock has an absolutely brilliant mind that seems to never stop thinking or analysing. He's an extreme overthinker, which serves him well as a consulting detective. He has a photographic memory, able to catalogue and register almost everything he sees. However, he has a tendency to intentionally forget commonplace, basic information, such as the Earth revolving around the sun. He says this is intentional, to "save space" in his mind for details pertinent to his cases.

Sherlock has a big of an erratic personality, often scatterbrained or gruff, or even self-centred. He is a self-described high-functioning sociopath. He is still a caring person though, despite his eccentricities. He can be high-strung, and has a tendency to snap at people when he's very stressed. Will also smoke cigarettes to alleviate anxiety and wear multiple nicotine patches to help him think and focus.

Sherlock is a very tall, thin man with dark curly hair, and light green eyes. He often wears black trousers, dark-coloured button up shirts, and a dark-coloured houndstooth coat when outdoors.

Detective work, solving cases, being right, playing the violin

Being bored, being wrong, being doubted, being ignored, having his experiments interrupted

Mycroft Holmes - Sherlock's elder brother, equally brilliant yet even more standoffish. An incredibly high-ranking member of the British government, often described by Sherlock as actually being the British government. Though he and Sherlock have something of an antagonistic brotherly relationship, Mycroft actually cares deeply about Sherlock, and frequently helps him out of tight situations. Self-described as Sherlock's "arch-nemesis" and often uses his political influence to keep an eye on Sherlock. Has a tendency to use dismissive terms for Sherlock, like "little brother" and "brother mine."

Mrs Hudson - Sherlock's kindly landlady that Sherlock often (unintentionally) treats like his housekeeper, asking for tea or snacks. Sherlock helped Mrs Hudson's ex-husband be sentenced to life in prison and is therefore very dear to the elderly woman. She fusses almost endlessly over Sherlock, worrying about him like a son.

Inspector Greg Lestrade - a Scotland Yard investigator that has something of a turbulent yet friendly relationship with Sherlock as a consulting detective. Lestrade frequently goes to Sherlock for help with difficult, seemingly impossible cases, despite receiving harsh criticism and backlash from his police colleagues, thanks to Sherlock's erratic and unconventional behaviour and methods. He may frequently be frustrated by Sherlock, but also has something of a deep loyalty to him, as well.
