"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
Sherlock Holmes is a fictional private detective created by Scottish writer and physician, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He is the prototype for the modern mastermind detective and the world's first and only consulting one at that. Originally having pursued criminals throughout Victorian and Edwardian London, the south of England, and continental Europe, the representation portrayed here is a modern depiction, taking place in present times and heavily based on the BBC series Sherlock. There is an assortment of liberties taken with this character based on other works of literature, published theories, perspectives, and other such portrayals elsewhere, but the character mostly remains the same.
Sherlock Holmes is a consulting detective and independent scholar with a variety of very curious side-interests, all of which turn out to be single-mindedly bent towards making him superior at solving crimes. He is currently looking for work with only the most interesting cases as his priority. Holmes's clients vary from the most powerful monarchs and governments of Europe as well as internationally in some instances, to the wealthy elite and industrialists, to impoverished pawnbrokers and governesses. He was known only in select professional circles at the beginning of his profession but is already collaborating with Scotland Yard, and his continued work and the publication of Dr. John H. Watson's stories raised Sherlock Holmes's profile, and he rapidly became a well known consulting detective. He even occasionally acts on behalf of the British government in matters of national security.

Rules
- OOC ≠ IC
Though Sherlock may be overtly deductive, what happens out of character does not equal what transpires in character. The same is true in reverse. What is told in confidence or anything read about the character should not be known unless it is common in-universe knowledge, published or verbalized via characters involved, so on and so forth. - Be Considerate
Mun has a tendency to be a bit of a lurker. A lot of role-plays may just be appreciated as a spectator or may refuse to participate altogether. Please respect as such, but there is no harm in inquiring interested parties either. Mun is open-minded, untethered, friendly, unrated, uncensored, and welcomes diversity!
- No Powerplay
No God-modding, power-playing, or auto anything, please. I understand grand, ethereal beings exist, but most entities of that caliber have some kind of composure and restraint around us mortals, yes? Original characters are welcomed and canons from other fandoms are greatly inspiring and appreciated. There is no judgment here, for the most part!
- Availability
U.S. Central Standard Time in the evenings and weekends. Mun works long hours and currently has two jobs, one of which is full-time. This is not to deter from long-term plots despite the possibility of long pauses in between. Patience and understanding is sort of a prerequisite. Messaging style role-plays through RPR are preferred, whereas live roleplays will be much more difficult. Apologies in advance!
- Romance
If it happens, it happens, but it is not very likely all things considered. There will not be anything already established either -- mun prefers to build relationships be they romantic or otherwise. Please consider the character's preferences.
- Fighting
Sherlock can lose with the best of 'em, but winning is a possibility too. The whole prospect of picking fights with the detective is determined through trial and error, not supposition. No instant deaths. It would be preferred to discuss epic battles beforehand.
- Hearken!
Rules may be subject to change or update accordingly! Nothing too drastic, assuredly. This character's beliefs and actions are their own and do not reflect those of his player. Please do not take anything the character might do or say personally. This is entirely fiction, and nothing should be taken seriously.
