Did someone call for another detective?
No?
Well, here's one.
And yes, we're both excited!
Anyway, hi! I'm Effy, and I used to play Whitlea, Laharl, Mao and Barnaby here. I might play one of them again here someday, but for now, I'm pleased to announce someone who I'm very sure needs no introduction: Sherlock Holmes!
Or, more specifically, Sherlock from the modern-day BBC version (which is awesome, go watch it if you haven't yet, and if you have LET ME LOVE YOU). He's a high-functioning sociopath who keeps severed body parts in the fridge, has a mind palace (yes, really), a very arrogant git, and is the world's only consulting detective. He made the job up.
Now, as I'm sure everyone's aware of by now, Sherlock is very observant, and has the ability to "scan" people. He's able to tell a huge part of their life story at a glance, as well as what they were doing last night and anything even they might not be aware of. I'm aware this is a bit god-modey, so I've put up a permissions post over here! As a note, since we're going to be operating on fuzzy dream logic here, you can find a way to throw him off if you'd like.
And since Sherlock Holmes in all his incarnations is rather well-known, I'd like to ask that people keep from fourth-walling him about the BBC version. However, any of the previous versions are fair play, and in fact, I wholeheartedly encourage it, especially when it comes to ACD canon and how different it is from his experiences.
And since I don't know how to end an intro post, have a few more gifs!
...oh, yeah, almost forgot. Sherlock's canon point, right now, is post-A Scandal in Belgravia, so as to avoid Reichenbach spoilers and feels. Because no one needs to have their heart ripped out and stomped on and thrown in the incinerator right now, but it may happen soon.
Right! So that's finished. Intro post will be up soon, just wanted to say hi first.

I just hope it doesn't go as far into the negative CR as the other Sherlock I've played with. In that game Conan decided Sherlock was a poor copy of the REAL Holmes. It went downhill from there. The phrase 'pre-school bullies' comes up a lot to describe their CR these days.
Yeah... sounds about right. I've lost count of how many times Conan has been accused of being closed minded for insisting that everything must have a science-based explanation. I even played him in a Hogwarts game for a few months and he spent a month in a magic school refusing to believe in magic and attempting to apply the scientific method to everything.

They should start a support group. Something like "Skeptics Who Are Stuck In Multifandom Games Where Magic Runs Rampant And Logic Is Thrown Right Out The Bloody Window Support Group" or something.
