Need help with Sherlock Holmes character traits Anonymous 2015-11-26 02:42:43 Post No. 7392034 [Report]

Hi /lit/, fa/tg/uy here. Developing a character who's basically sherlock holmes for a cthulu - style game, and having trouble picking traits. Basically I need to know what quirks/personality traits are most important to replicate in my character to be truest to him. So, if we list all of his traits, e.g. plays violin to help him think, knowledgeable in the occult, chemistry, tobacco, footprints, toxicology, manic-depressive, self-medicates with cocaine, poor social interaction, etc. and then picked 5 good traits and 5 bad traits to best represent him, what would you say they are?

We can all agree that from a literary standpoint the symposium is far and away Plato's best, right?

Intelligent, nihilistic with a wicked sense of humor.

Here's a cool idea: come up with your own character--be original.

Even Sherlock was based on a real surgeon Doyle had worked for.

I'm partial to Apology, since Plato's accounts of Socrates always contain glaring argument flaws, and in Apology Plato has no choice but to acknowledge that a jury wasn't taken in by the usual intellectual hucksterism.

Aristophanes' speech in Symposium is shit. How he has endured this long in the western canon is a testament to how terrible the majority of professors' sense of humor is.

Holmes was blatantly ripped off from Poe's C. Auguste Dupin character.

I love Holmes, but it really is an obvious bite.

Childhood is when yo idolize Holmes, adulthood is when you realize Von Bork makes more sense.
