💀 Character Information
Name: (William) Sherlock Scott Holmes (tripple barreled named, man. this kid's posh as fuck)
Canon: BBC's Sherlock
Canon Point: Abominable Bride, on the plane (he ODs on his drugs, whoops)
Age: 34?
Description:

The first thing you notice about Sherlock Holmes are his eyes. They're a gorgeous bright blue with flecks of green and gold. Then there's the cheekbones, sharp and angular and quite frankly entirely ridiculous because no human should be able to have bone structure that perfect. His lips are full and I feel like I'm writing a really awful vampire novel tbh

He has black, messy hair and his face isn't exactly the conventional 'handsome'. He is, actually, odd-looking by anyone's standards, and yet, he grows on you the more you see him. He wears overly fashionable clothes, making a point to look his best with long swish coats and expensive suits. To Sherlock, image is everything. He needs to look professional when meeting new people, and he needs to look ordinary enough to blend in and be able to hide in plain sight.

Physical changes:

N/A as of yet but I'm so tempted to be cliche and give him either horns, wings or a tail. Because why not.

Powers:

He's human, so no real 'powers' per say. He's incredibly intelligent and uses deductive reasoning to further his own logical prowess and to make it look like he's the smartest person in the room.

He's a violin virtuoso (which is the most important 'power').

I'd say he's a pro at taking drugs too, but given the fact that he OD'd on the plane...... lmfao nope

History:

yep

Hell Status:

Limbo case

What Brings Them To Hell:

IDK probably the fact that Sherlock treats people as lesser beings, isn't above torture, has killed people that threatened his bros etc etc etc. He's not a Nice Person, really, but everything he does is with good intentions.

The Pitch:

Why Sherlock Is Incredibly Important (or why 'Sherlock' Should Absolutely Not Be Called 'John' Instead).

Sherlock is a damaged idiot genius that pretends he is a high functioning sociopath to do away with those pesky things we mere mortals call 'feelings'. As a calculating machine, he lives his life constantly at war with the fact that he's hugely intelligent and massively socially inept due to a combination of a. not caring about what other people think and b. caring too much about what other people think. He controls every aspect of himself to an obsessive degree, constantly policing just how much 'sentiment' he willingly shows because he believes it to be a fatal mistake to allow the people he cares about to know that he, too, cares about them.

He has spent his life alone under the distinct impression that he is apart from everyone else. Early attempts at social interaction were awkward and stilted as he forcefully told everyone their secrets and watched in dismay as, shockingly, people got upset. He built up a persona of sorts in order to deal with this consistent loneliness - a man that's cruel before he's kind, using words like a personal brand of poison, each one hitting their mark with pinpoint precision because being aggressively rude and arrogant has allowed him to remain at an arm's distance from anyone and everything.

Sherlock likes to think of himself as this super imposing man, with Super Important theories that will Absolutely Change The World, if people actually bothered to listen (because as we all know, an intense study about the 243 different flavours of tobacco currently on the market is quite frankly essential to every day living, as well as the arduous task of solving crimes). In reality, Sherlock is incredibly dorky (he has an A2 poster of the Periodic Table unironically pinned to his bedroom wall, he has a sock index and also this), which tbh is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

He cares so much about John that he constantly leaves him out of the loop in order to protect him, which for a self-proclaimed genius is a pretty dumb thing to do considering that John has saved his life multiple times.

Sherlock is really just a smol detective who will protect the people he loves at any cost, he just consistently does so by making every wrong decision possible. He also trolls like a pro and keeps Moriarty locked up inside his own head so you know there's lots of weird kinky shit going down in his subconscious.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and Sherlock is practically good intentions personified. Unfortunately, he just gets a little lost along the way, what with the constant emotional manipulation, unsolicited mass druggings and the occasional smatterings of (in his mind) justified murder.

And, as a limited time offer, if you buy Sherlock now, you'll receive a free violin and drug habit with every purchase! Act now, DON'T DELAY!

Setting Fit:

To start with, Sherlock will be utterly disenchanted (and embarrassed) at dying from something so mundane as a drug overdose. As Irene once said, it makes for a very unattractive corpse, especially when all of his friends (and Mycroft) happened to be looking on as he slipped off of his so called mortal coil. He'd try to throw himself into anything he could, be it work related or not - just something to distract him from the fact that he's dead and he'll never really find out what Moriarty had been planning (or how he could possibly ever be 'back'). He'd drive himself to distraction trying to figure that out too, whilst trying to appear entirely put together despite the fact that he's just killed someone and recently been shoved into a week's worth of solitary confinement.

He'll be on the networks ALL THE TIME. He will be watching constantly and he'll be lurking as many threads as possible just to see who he's here with and what he should come to expect in his continued existence there.

Also, coming to terms with the fact that there's an afterlife. Like, who even ok'd that? He'd been living his life under the assumption that there's nothing to greet him should he kick the bucket, so he'll have to wrap his pretty little head around that too.
