style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">30’s.

          Handsome, fit and tall. A sharp witted, self satisfied man
          wholly believing in his own abilities. Arrogant and a tad
          smarmy; sexy in the most oblivious way. He is restless and
          must constantly find ways to occupy his over active mind,
          which often results in his forays into substance abuse.</span></p>

style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">30’s.

          Handsome and fit, but much more conservative than Sherlock,
          and probably shorter. Intelligent, but lacks Sherlock’s keen
          insight. He is unquestioningly loyal, and in the ways he can
          be, a protector of Holmes. He is very aware of the limits of
          his abilities but also Holmes’ reliance on him.</span></p>

style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">30’s.

          A rare beauty and completely self-possessed. She is known as
          an Opera Prima Donna and “a well-known adventuress.” Her
          intelligence is a match for Holmes, and she knows it. Despite
          her own feelings for Sherlock, she is unafraid to use his
          feelings for her to her advantage. Additional consideration
          for actresses who can sing, preferably a soprano, though not
          required.</span></p>

          mirror image of Holmes in intelligence but thrives on the rush
          of criminal enterprise. He engages Holmes as a matter of self
