Name: Sherlock Holmes
from the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Left canon in 1891 during his faked death at Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland. Moriarty died. Holmes did not. Holmes went on some adventures.

Appearance: Tall (6'2", at least), thin, angular, athletic, pale, dark features, dark clothing.
History: Holmes' birthday has been suggested by scholars to be January 6th, 1854. That would make him 37-years-old at the time of what is commonly called 'The Great Hiatus'. His parents are never really mentioned in canon; it is often assumed that Holmes had a unusual or oppressive upbringing, which resulted in his strange personality. He has a brother, Mycroft, who is seven years his elder, along with being much more clever (but lazier) than Sherlock. He studied at university, but only remained there for a few years. At some point, he relocated to London and attempted to establish himself as the world's first professional consulting detective. While in search of a flat, he meets Dr. John Watson and moves in with him into 221b Baker Street. They grow to share a partnership like no other. In 1891, Holmes met his nemesis, Professor Moriarty, at Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland and presumably fell to his death. In actuality, Holmes was in hiding for 3 years before he reappeared in England.
Inventory:

his Stradivarius (his violin)

the Moroccan case that holds his syringe and vials of cocaine

letters exchanged with his closest associates (Mycroft and Watson, and one from Lestrade)

a faded old photograph of Watson in his soldier's uniform (purloined at some point by Holmes from Watson's personal belongings)

a compilation of some of his previous cases, just in case

his magnifying glass

collection of various kinds of tobacco and pipe

chemistry set

silver cigarette case

a particularly agreeable vintage of French wine


Disclaimer: I don't own Holmes, obviously. Conan Doyle's ghost probably doesn't roleplay. I'd be worried (albeit interested) if that were the case.
The dude in the pictures is Adrien Brody. I don't own him either, but physically, he makes a kickass Holmes.
This is for plentyofroom.
