Sherlock Holmes

**Sherlock Holmes** is a playable character in Attorney Online.

In literature, he is a highly skilled private detective with
amazing logic and a high attention for details. In AA, he is an
eccentric dork who, despite coming up with the most convoluted and wrong
conclusions, still possesses great intelligence and attention for
clues. In AO, he's a stoner and USEFUL support for the defense who often
comes up with case-twisting asspulls. He's also known for his inhuman
reflexes and strenght like when he reflected a barbell during Turnabout
/fit/.

## Background

Holmes is well-known around London and the world as one of the greatest living private detectives; he's said to have solved countless cases with his skills of observation and deduction. In particular, his adventures are serialized in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", a set of short stories publised in the Randst Magazine. Stories that even managed to reach the Orient as his name is known even in Japan.

Holmes once had a partner, John H. Watson, with whom he solved many cases and who wrote the journals the stories are based off of. At one point Watson had to leave to Japan for an *important mission* and was forced to leave his young daughter Iris in Sherlock's care. Said daughter is the author of the short stories and also happens to have a medical license despite being only nine.

Sherlock then ends up meeting exchange student Ryuunosuke Naruhodo and his legal assistant Susato Mikotoba and becomes friends with them. Later on he decides to lodge them in the attic of his studio in Baker Street, which pretty much acts as Ryu's *office* in London.

Sherlock and Ryu work very well together, Holmes finds the details and Ryu works with them to find a right conclusion. In a way you could say Ryu acts like a *replacement Watson*.

## Into Attorney Online

After the events of DGS, as Sherlock and Ryu are taking a stroll in the streets of London, they enconter a Time-Travelling Athena who kidnaps them and takes them to the future so that they can solve cases together. Ryu and Holmes then went on to solve some cases with the aid of Athena in various different eras, establishing the Time Travel Squad. They also inadvertently ended up creating the process of analyzing evidence for fingerprints through a time paradox caused in a case set in the Wild West.

## Present

Currently Holmes is frequently seen as either USEFUL co/support defense or detective, sometimes he's also seen as other roles. He's somewhat of a wildcard, he usually starts off as calm and quiet smoking his pipe but randomly at times he will suddenly come up with an explanation for the biggest mysteries and contraddictions surrounding a case. He also tends to ask competent and relevant questions out of the blue during Cross-Examinations. For these qualities he's often appreciated by the lead defense and regarded as a USEFUL companion.

His most memorable appearances are in Turnabout /fit/ (where he figured out how the real killer murdered the victim in mere seconds) and Wild West Turnabout (where he had to step-in as lead for a while as Ryu was busy with something).

## Personality

A detective with a pipe full of opium, Holmes is often chill during cases. Unfazed by the most bizzarre events such as when he had to Cross-Examine a dog.

Lately he's shown to lose his composure very easily though, if the case goes completely off the rails due to bad witnesses.

## Misc

```
   He seems to hate Americans for separating from the Great British Empire. He thinks they are uncivilized savage colonials
   He's a boxing champ in the books, which might explain how he reflected a fucking barbell effortlessly
   While in AO he only gets high on weed and opium, in the books he does much harder stuff
   His diet is heavily based on proteins, which explains why he's so huge
