nopolicelikeholmes"If the young lady has a brother or a friend, he ought to lay a whip across your shoulders. By Jove!" he continued, flushing up at the sight of the bitter sneer upon the man's face, "it is not part of my duties to my client, but here's a hunting crop handy, and I think I shall just treat myself to -- " He took two swift steps to the whip, but before he could grasp it there was a wild clatter of steps upon the stairs, the heavy hall door banged, and from the window we could see Mr. James Windibank running at the top of his speed down the road.

Abilities Shirley deduces things. Though she's definitely not perfect, her powers of deductive reasoning are uncanny enough to count as an ability. She is, however, vulnerable to all forms of special powers, including those similar to her own.
Fighting/Sparring/Etc. I am very open to fighting with this character! I like to play things out organically and see who wins without any OOC coordination beforehand, but if you have a specific preference for the outcome/certain things you want to have happen, please feel free to contact me.
Information Sharing/Fourthwalling Shirley is an obvious Expy of Sherlock Holmes, who has never existed on her world in any other form. She would be either disbelieving or somewhat amused if you told her.
Other Characters' Abilities Shirley will be vulnerable to pretty much everything, but I'd like to coordinate anything very involved.
Physical Contact Sure! Just keep it polite, or else see above about fighting. ;3
Romance I am open to romantic possibilities with this character.
Smut To be discussed beforehand. To warn, I have a tendency to drop porn threads or let the tags go unanswered for a really long time. If this is going to bother you more than it would with any other thread, maybe we shouldn't smut together.
Telepathy/Mind Reading/Etc. Shirley has no natural immunity to such things, but I would prefer ooc coordination beforehand.
Violence Shirley is a strong fighter and capable of holding her own, but it is certainly possible to injure her, and severely at times. I would prefer avoiding any loss of life or limb.
OOC
Backtags My tendency of backtagging tends to vary from game to game but I rarely continue threads more than a month old just so I can keep everything straight in my mind. If I have dropped a thread you'd like to continue, please feel free to contact me and ask. I don't mind at all.
All ratings As a mun I am fine with graphic violence, psychological torture, explicit sex, and similar situations. If you're interested in something of this nature, please let me know!
Threadjacking Always a fun and pleasant surprise.
As mentioned above, Shirley has some uncanny powers of deduction which may get used on your character for one reason or another. If it's anything big or important I'll probably contact you, but for just general interaction it would help me a lot if you'd fill out this form:
Can I use OOC information? Basically, do you mind if I Google your character to find some mundane personal point about them that Holmes might pick up on, and maybe make up some tiny details for how she deduced it?
Is there anything in particular you would like her to notice? To be used instead of the methods above. If you'd like to instead list tiny details and have her make her own, possibly-totally-wrong conclusions, that's fine, too.
Is there anything you specifically don't want her to notice? As exceptions to any of the above.

Is there anything you specifically don't want her to notice? Not really, but he's taken from after the first episode of S2 so obviously nothing past that point. So nothing on the Superhoodie section on the Wiki link (though she can notice his potential if you want her to), and anything after Simon apologises to Lucy in the storylines.

Date: 2012-10-09 10:28 pm (UTC)Is there anything in particular you would like Shirley to notice? pointy ears, tattoo on his face. Which aren't on all his icons but they're there. Also a tendency to feel like he's always in motion even when he's standing still. And sometimes just a feeling of wrongness. Like he doesn't belong in the world around him.
Is there anything you specifically don't want her to notice? Nah.

Date: 2012-10-10 06:35 am (UTC)Is there anything in particular you would like Shirley to notice? She might notice that any tricks Jareth does (conjuring crystals and the like) isn't slight of hand. Most everything about him is either incredibly obvious or hopelessly and impossibly vague (is he fey? what are the limits of his magic?).
Is there anything you specifically don't want her to notice? Nnnope. She can notice him using magic, turning into a white barn owl, swishing about dramatically, creeping on young ladies...

Date: 2012-10-15 01:32 am (UTC)Is there anything in particular you would like Shirley to notice? He has a lot of scars from fighting other dragons/musketeers/etc. And is from the early 1800s.
Is there anything you specifically don't want her to notice? Nope! He kind of lays it all out there, anyway.

Date: 2012-10-15 02:30 am (UTC)Is there anything in particular you would like Shirley to notice? Possibly that he gets all twitchy when magic comes up and specifically that he used to be a mage, though this might not be obvious for a long time. He does come off as someone who's hiding something.
Is there anything you specifically don't want her to notice? Nope
