GREETING SINGULARITY & PERMISSIONS

HELLO SINGULARITY. This is Ammay of thunder god fame bringing you one (1) Sherlock Holmes from the '09 movie! He's coming in post movie and will still be mercilessly untactful.

WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT QUESTION - I'll be putting up a permissions post on his journal in a few days but for right now I'm just throwing this out here.

If you don't want Holmes to make uncannily accurate deductions regarding your character and their past/everything, please let me know! What I do is basically troll applications, wikis, whatever and come up with what I feel could lead to Holmes making the deductions. Let's take Deadpool for instance! ( with thanks to Pat! )

- disdain for personal safety and seemingly not bothered by any damage incurred = nothing to live for - was there past emotional loss? highly likely ( healing powers?! )
- treatment of the world as an entire joke ( references to an RP, meta jokes ) = reinforcing hiding real pain and emotional trauma
- antics that seem to draw attention to himself = a desire to be noticed (even accepted?)



SO SOMETHING GENERALLY ALONG THOSE LINES is what I'd limit myself to - nothing super specific that I can't generally back up with some sort of reason why. And all would be based on specific things that Holmes have noticed in game. If he hasn't see say, someone avoid all alcohol, he's not make an assumption that they're an alcoholic/have a family history of it. ALSO unless your character asks him to do what he does there won't be any aimless history digging - just offhanded comments.

If anyone has any questions at all or feel like I'm stepping on toes, just let me know!

Holmes is welcome to get what he wants about Emma, minus the telepathy, since she's being pretty cagey about it. He'd probably be one of the few who'd be able to spot that she has a Boston Brahmin accent rather than an English one. (My compromise between Morrison and everyone else who's ever written her, ahem.)

Flynn is going to be an interesting case, since Holmes is, er, unlikely to hit on "trapped inside a computer for 1000 subjective years" as an explanation. But hey, maybe he can pull it off. XD

Alex is an actual computer, so that should be fun.
