CHARACTER NAME: Mildmay
DETAILS:

Deduce away! Everything is on the table. Notable details:

- Mildmay has a scar across his face. From the shape of the scar and its markings, it's obvious that: 1) Mildmay has no feeling in the left side of his face due to the scar, 2) Mildmay received the scar from a dagger, and in a fight, quickly and haphazardly, 3) Mildmay received the scar a long time ago, more than ten years, 4) the scar at one point became infected.

- Mildmay's scarred hands show signs of having to climb with them often on surfaces not made for climbing. His hands are worn with obvious signs of work and labor. There are also occasional cuts, showing signs that he's been stabbed lightly and shallowly. The injuries are consistent with knife-fighting.

- Mildmay is suspicious and wary of magic, law enforcement, and mention of ghosts. Infer into that what you will.

- Sherlock may be able to tell that Mildmay keeps a butterfly knife in his boot. It's reconciled from view, but possibly how he walks, combined with the other obvious familiarity with knives? IDK this one is totes up to you, man.

- Mildmay dresses in a very exacting fashion, but not fashionably. His clothes look a bit late 19th centuryish, and are almost entirely black, save the undershirt and cravat. They are always clean and well-buttoned, never messy or out of place. He keeps his hair, red, back in a braid. He refuses to be seen disheveled.

- Has a limp originating in his upper left leg. The injury is inconsistent with any scientific or medical diagnosis, but it's clearly injured, buckles under too much weight, and cannot twist straight like a healthy leg would. He leans on a heavy carved wooden cane to compensate.

- Mildmay always checks a room before entering, surveying it for escape routes, possible weapons, and possible sources of confrontation.

- Mildmay has excellent reflexes and balance, despite his leg.

- Mildmay is extremely observant, and is always looking at something, other people, his surroundings. He rarely completely veges out, even if he doesn't talk much.

- Though Sherlock probably doesn't have the cultural information relevant to process this data, Mildmay's accent is fairly de rigueur for people from the Lower City sections of Melusine, Marathat. To a modern Earth-dwelling human, however, it just sounds a lot like a Southern United States accent, specifically from around the vicinity of Tennessee. Mildmay pronounces all French words by American pronunciation rules.

CANON: Mildmay's canon is fairly obscure, there isn't much wiki info on it. I however am a weird encyclopaedia on the subject and am happy to field questions.
OTHER NOTES: mildmay is an extremely sherlock scannable character, so i just wanted to throw this here, even if they never meet in person!
