SEEKING:

SHERLOCK HOLMES (any race, she/her, 30s-40s) A once-in-a-generation genius. Eccentric. Focused, to a fault. Can be less-than-sensitive. Always playing psychological 3-D chess; operating on a totally different level than civilians. Like many geniuses, has a megalomaniac streak. Gets bored easily; likes applause; sometimes accused of being unfeeling. LOVES costumes and drama.

DR. JOAN WATSON (any race, she/her, 30s-40s) America. Formerly type-A high-achiever. Recently divorced; struggling to find herself, feels broken. Reflexively defensive. Once had great bedside manner. Sometimes accused of being a loser; is not a loser. Wry. Smart.

Always playing psychological 3-D chess; operating on a totally different level than civilians. Has incredible charm, confidence, and wit, and she knows it—uses it without mercy. You may want to be Irene, or you may want to be with Irene; but you can't ignore her. Mrs. Hudson: Holmes & Watson's long-suffering landlady. Mrs. Drebber: Seemingly an ordinary housewife. Somebody you would be very wise not to underestimate.

MORIARTY / LESTRADE / ELLIOT MONK (any race, he/him, 30s-50s) Moriarty: A criminal so great you've never heard of him. A master blackmailer; knows just when to play his cards. Always playing psychological 3-D chess; operating on a different level than civilians. Wears many masks. A professional. Amoral, but you'd like him. Lestrade: An inspector new to his position at Scotland Yard. Not very imaginative. Often says the wrong thing. Elliot Monk: An amoral tech billionaire from Texas.
