PERSONALITY - Traits: proneness to boredom (agitated by the lack of work, describing peace as "hateful". if case is offered to him, he won't take it immediately unless he finds it sufficiently attractive. will go to extreme lengths to keep himself occuptied, even turning to drugs in extreme situations). High functioning sociopath. disregard for rules and etiquette. manipulative streak (will take advantage of people to get his way. sometimes secretly subjects people around him to his experiements, like testing out a drug, tho still making sure the person is unharmed). sarcastic sense of human, can be dark sometimes. Amused by stupidity of others in comparison to himself (stating it must be boring to not be him). absolute lack of tact (main reason why he is heavily disliked by so many people. doesn't notice when his accurate deductions about other's personal lives offend them. Tho he is becoming increasingly aware of his ability to insult, occasionally asking "Not good?" when he does see that he has upset someone) - Competencies: deduction, mind palace - IQ: extremely high intellect and masterful observational skills. highly developed "mind palace", a memory technique that allows him to memorize vast amounts of information. Deduction (process of drawing logical conclusions based on evidence and reasoning. often uses it in combination of inductive reasoning). Cold readings (uses elements of people's appearance and behavior to arrive at accurate conclusions about their past or personality. usually performed subconsciously and says 'can't always tone it down'). Method of loci (Sherlock refers to as his 'mind palace'. system of storing memories like plotting them on a map of a familiar location and retrieving those memories by finding the way back to them, to theoretically never forget anything. requires silence to use this technique.) Skilled Martial Artist - hand to hand combat. Espionage Proficiency. Master Violinist - helps him think) - Drugs: occasionally cocaine and morphine to escape from “the dull routine of existence” and keep mind stimulated. Smoker (tries to quit few times but he eventually comes back to it, like drugs). claims he's not a drug addict but a user and that he takes 7% solution (tho he does often takes a lot of drugs at the same times and came close to ODing before). PSYCHOLOGY - Surface: cold-hearted and rough exterior - True self:have a kind, caring side, despite saying that not caring about people makes it easier to do his job - Sherlock has concern for the people involved in his case SOCIAL STYLE - Speech tone: deep voice - Social style: doesn't have many friends, attitude and cutting words often ward people away (tho he is able to make an effort) - Love style: protective towards the people he is close to (extending great lengths lengths to ensure their safety or get revenge). Often seems like he takes friends for granted. often doesn't realise people like him and doesn't believe he could be anybody's best friend). RELATIONSHIPS - Mother: used to be genius mathematician - Mycroft Holmes: somewhat complicated relationship. Genius. Older brother by 6 years. Seems to worry a great deal about Sherlock (rallying Sherlock's friends to ensure his safety, specifically to prevent an implied relapse), shows at times childlike frustration with him. Sherlock never dismisses him (as he does with others he finds annoying or tedious). Comfortable with going to Sherlock for help with issues of national security. Always fighting with Sherlock that he's the smarter one. Unacknowledged head of intelligence, combining MI5 and 6 (Sherlock's call him 'the british government', he's able to get Sherlock out of all legal problems) - Father: calls himself 'something of a moron myself' (both of Sherlock's parents are intelligent, tho not as much as Sherlock and Mycroft and are rather ordinary) - Family dynamic: claims to be complicated - John Watson: best friend. Used to be army doctor. Loyal, protective, adrenaline seeker (despite his domestic nature), sarcastic. Helps Sherlock solves crimes. Sherlock's roommate in Baker Street. Has a blog where he writes about cases he solves with Sherlock that's popular BACKSTORY Born in England country side. Emotional child. Studied Chemistry at university, was unpopular due to him deducting everything about everyones private life. Struggled with drugs in earlier years, reaching an agreement with Mycroft that he would always write a list of anything he had taken. - Redbeard: Sherlock's childhood dog, Irish Setter, was put down, Sherlock treated him very differently from how he treats people - he smiled at him and called him “a clever boy”, whereas he always called people “stupid” LIVING PROFILE Occupation: consulting detective. Often consulted by detective inspector Greg Lestrade of New Scotland Yard, who (and other police mens) turn to Sherlock for help when they can't solve a case (which by Sherlock is always). Not emploid by police, he does it for fun and illegaly, tho no one cares about that part. Does hands-on investigative work - examining crime scenes, running experiments (often in his flat), analyzing clues, and building logical chains to identify perpetrators. often gets clients (from his webside) who come to him for help and he helps as a private detective. Runs a lot of experiments - he doesn’t like guessing, he forms a hypothesis and then proves it (often done at home, unconventional and reckless. Often at corpses experiments like beating them to measure how long after death bruises form) - antagonistic towards officers at Scotland Yard, particularly Anderson and Sally Donovan - residence: 221B Baker Street. flat owned by Mrs Hudson. NOTES - runs his own website 'The Science of Deduction' (not as popular as the blog John Watson has) - often doesn't talk for days. doesn't eat when he's working (says digestion slows him down)
