The Game is On // Intro!
Hello Mariners. Marinalings? Marinaters?
I'm Redd and I'm a newbie to the game and Insane Journal as a whole. I've roleplayed before, and rather frequently, but never in this capacity. So you'll kind of have to excuse me if I derp around a while trying to figure things out and gawk at your foreign, fandomy terms. I know everyone must go through the phase of being fresh meat, so here I am. I'm pre-tenderized, but unmarinated. My style of writing tends to be slow-cooked, as a general warning ahead of time. I can't always promise you fillet mignon, but I do try to make my posts well-done and seasoned. To that end, I invite you to taste-test and critique my flavor so that I can know whether to bring the beef or cut the broth. You can even roast me- I promise not to simmer. I'm fairly friendly and am fond of flavorful people. Feel free to email, IM, or PM me here. I'll probably respond to messages here the fastest. But enough of my ham-handed introduction!
I'm playing Sherlock Holmes from BBC's adaptation, "Sherlock". It is a modernized version of the crime-solving adventures of the dynamic duo, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. If you love the books, you should definitely see the new series! I am a big fan of the books myself, so I'll be taking some of their aspects into account as well.
Sherlock is very strange young man who bases his life on solving strange crimes in London. He's extremely astute but also extremely... eccentric, shall we say? This particular icon is of him, in the morgue, with a riding crop, beating a corpse to see what sort of bruising forms (he wants to gauge if a wound was made before or after death). I don't honestly think I'm going to be able to use it anywhere else. He doesn't subscribe to normalcy or standards beyond his own, which simply entail getting a case solved in the most interesting manner possible. He's a grown man, but he's sort of got this bratty teenager, do-what-I-want thing, dramatic flair going on that gets him into a lot of trouble. While ultimately he does do some pretty great things, solving crimes and bringing others to justice, he tends to be a danger to himself and others as he kind of dives headfirst into everything like a bloodhound going after a scent. Sherlock kind of expects the world to fall around him and meet his needs, which is why I find it interesting and plausible for him to be in Marina.
Well, that's enough out of me for now! I'm really excited to be playing with you all and I'll toss him sometime out tomorrow!
