PERMISSIONS POST (SINGULARITY)

[lusus_scientiae]

SO, Sherlock doesn't have any cool inhuman powers or anything, but this is just a little aid for all this silly deduction nonsense he does with people when he meets them. This is easier with canons I do know, but I can't know all of 'em! Basically, I'm just hoping for some details on people's characters that would be immediately available - this is PARTICULARLY important for OCs or characters from rarer canons that I can't Google and the like.

This'd help a bunch for potential CR, so if you could take the time to fill it out, I'd appreciate it!

1. What sorts of immediately noticeable things are there about your character (i.e. scars, physical defects, non-human qualities or features)?
2. What sort of things are there about them that they might be hiding or lying about that Holmes might notice?
3. How neat is your character, and how much would he be able to tell about any recent activities they might have done?

yes okay these are random things, but they will honestly help me out a ton. Again, thanks so much in advance for answering these, full speed ahead and all that!

I'm cool with Sherlock noticing things about Wash, but in-game he only ever transmits audio over the network and rarely gets out and sees people in person. I can tl;dr away, but is there anything in particular that would help for this kind of thing?

So, idk how familiar you are with Battlestar Galactica, but this guy, Leoben, is a cylon, which is the race of machines that cause trouble in BSG. However, Leoben looks and acts humans so it's very difficult to tell that he's a machine, and Sherlock shouldn't be able to pick that up right off the bat.

He can, however, determine that something is off about Leoben, and that he's withholding information about himself. I'm sure we can work something out.

The TARDIS here is most often using a projection, since she's still technically a space ship on the station. While solid, the projection is still only that and should be noticeable especially around the edges that it's not a real person.

She doesn't really have anything to hide, so that should be easy enough.

Her hologram always looks the same. She isn't good at hiding any emotional changes, but physically she can make sure it always looks the same at any given moment.

I'm happy to provide any other details you might want!

Loki Odinson

[trollololoki]

1. This will change a bit, as he has the ability to change perceptions of him. Mostly, he looks like the guy in the icon. Pretty standard getup, absent the ridonkulous armour that we normally see a Loki wearing.
   
   
2. Loki lies about ALL THE THINGS. Honestly, this could be situational - details coming together from conversations that may have tiny discrepancies. Something we could discuss on a thread-by-thread basis?
   
   
3. Again, with the perceptions, it might be difficult. With Loki, I'm just gonna say we should tackle this on a thread-by-thread basis?

Violet Parr

[personalbubble]

1. Violet wears a Super suit. All the time. And her mask most of the time. I believe even Watson could figure out that there's something odd about that. No scars or other strange features. She wears her hair back from her face with the headband.
   
   
2. Violet hides the fact that she is a super-powered Super from most people, and that she misses her family. Mostly it is just silly teenager things that she hides which would likely BORE HIM TO DEATH.
   
   
3. Oh, he'd be able to tell. Violet tries to be neat, but she's a teenager and not all that amazing at smoothing out any ripples in her appearance that would give anything away.

With Violet, I'm okay with her being deduced up, down, and sideways if you so decide.

Dick Grayson / Nightwing

[acrobatical]

1. Dick's got knife/tumble scars all over his torso and upper arms, legs; this is what happens from vigilante crime-fighting from age twelve. Hands would be calloused from heavy wear, even with the gloves. Body's nice and fit, and he basically walks like the acrobat he is.
   
   
2. That there's more that goes on than meets the eye. He'll mostly be appearing as Nightwing, but even then, what masked vigilante is that all the time? I ask that the actual link of identity not be made without discussing it OOCly, as he'll be working to keep them separate/hidden from one another.
   
   
3. Hard to hide the bruises, et al, from his line of work. Dick's arriving pretty beaten up and will be getting better, but he'll be out every night on patrol out of habit. The tells will change, but he'll be tired and have eye shadowing, etc etc.

Harley Quinn

[hesmypuddin]

~ Harley while an impervious cartoon character, would undoubtedly have at least some scars under that jumpsuit of hers. She'll likely be arriving with some bumps and bruises from her latest near death experience and has received any number of beatings that have landed her in the hospital in the past; including being thrown out a window several stories up by her puddin', The Joker.

No other defects or inhuman qualities.

~ Harley doesn't lie about things she's done in the past, including murders and any other crimes she's connected to. She is what she is and she's proud to make her puddin' happy. She might be a shrink, but she's pretty bad at keeping things to herself.

~ She's pretty neat, all things considered. She played the part of 'mommy' in the scheme of things and kept on top of the housework. Although, truth told, there will likely be things laying around the place that will just outright place her guilt in given situations. (explosive components, etc)


I'm pretty cool with Sherlock being able to deduct what he can from little Harley here and if you've any questions about specifics, don't hesitate to ask. <333

Micah is half monster, so he probably doesn't look exactly like a normal human. (Nobody in canon noticed anything like that, but I'm going to put that down to them not being Sherlock.)

He's trying to keep the half monster thing generally under wraps, but since nobody ever comes up to him and asks "hey Micah are you maybe not entirely human" this consists primarily of not using his Wooly form. That said, I've decided that staying in one form all the time is stressful for him, which Sherlock will probably notice pretty quickly. (Though there won't be any way to tell it isn't just Micah's personality until he gives in and transforms.)

Since he's from a standard pseudo-Renaissance fantasy world, he's not all that neat, so Sherlock should have no trouble working out what he's been doing.

1. Raimi's glasses got cracked after a canon update.

2. Technically, he doesn't feel the need to HIDE anything. Hell, if someone just outright asks, chances are Raimi will give them a good, honest-to-god answer (at times he might be a bit TOO honest, actually).
What he doesn't always delve into and might be blatantly obvious, though, is the fact that Raimi suffers insomnia. Badly. He can't sleep and he doesn't eat much, and suffers traumatic nightmares/lucid dreams. Also he has a photographic memory, woo.
Drinking and smoking regularly are part of his coping mechanisms.

3. He is VERY thorough, so... Iunno.

Bottom line, Sherlock is free to notice anything -- Raimi doesn't have anything to hide. If anything comes up, you can always hit me up on plurk about it, or send me a PM/IM.
