(A/N: Yeah, I know that The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is supposed to come before The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, but since Memoirs contains "The Final Problem," I figured I'd get this out of the way first. Please Read & Review.)

Disclaimer: I do not own Sherlock Holmes or any related characters. However, as he is in the public domain, A.C. Doyle's descendants don't really own him either. I do, however, own the genderbent version of Dr. Watson, Jane Watson. I also do not own Arsène Lupin. He is a creation of Maurice Leblanc and is also in the public domain. I also will not claim ownership of any original characters that will crop up as most of them are very heavily based on existing characters in other mediums. Anything totally and uniquely mine will be noted as such for your convenience.

Protagonists

1.) Sherlock Holmes: A 17-year-old British-American. Holmes is a consulting detective, a profession which makes extensive use of his genius-level intelligence and supremely analytical mind. He possesses a vast knowledge of a variety of subjects, both practical and theoretical, common and esoteric. Holmes is also highly athletic, and possesses a great deal of training in a variety of martial arts, particularly Muay Thai, Kenpo, Goju-ryu, and the balisong butterfly knife. He suffers from Cyclothymia, a mild form of bipolar disorder, causing him to alternate between the hyperactivity of a case and the lethargy of mental inactivity, and between a "proper English gentleman" and a distinctly Bohemian lifestyle. Likeness of Julian McMahon (circa 2000), voice dubbed by whoever it was that voiced Holmes in the PC game Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper (which you can see on YouTube if you don't wanna play it yourself).

2.) Jane Watson: The beautiful girl next door, Jeanette "Jane" Watson is an aspiring medical student, and Holmes' partner in his detecting business. She also serves as the chronicler of his cases, and sometimes publishes them in the school newspaper. Easy-going, quiet, and bubbly, Jane is a ferocious fighter when roused to anger, and is skilled in karate, tae kwon do, and Brazilian jujitsu. Jane is the first and so far only female member of the Baker Street Irregulars. Likeness of Kristin Kreuk (circa 2002).

3.) Mycroft Holmes: Mycroft is Holmes' older brother by seven years. Possessing deductive powers exceeding even those of his younger brother, Mycroft is nonetheless incapable of performing detective work similar to that of Sherlock since he is unwilling to put in the physical effort necessary to bring cases to their conclusions. Mycroft is a wealth management and investment consultant, and also provides legal counsel to his clients on intellectual property development. He is one of the founding members of the Diogenes Club, a gentlemen's club for misanthropes. Likeness of Stephen Fry (circa 2006).

4.) The Baker Street Irregulars: A ragtag bunch of misfits from all around Seattle, the Irregulars are an unofficial police force organized by Holmes to be his eyes and ears throughout the city. Each Irregular is trained in martial arts and parkour, but each also has his own unique abilities. Members include:

Sam Wiggins: An Irish-African, Wiggins is Holmes lieutenant, often relaying orders from him to the other Irregulars. He is an expert traceur (practitioner of parkour) and fighter, and is something of a class clown among the Irregulars. He is also the only Irregular to refer to Watson as "Jeanie" rather than Jane. Likeness of T. J. Storm (circa 2008).

Henry Thornton: An Arkansas redneck, Hank is the finest marksman in the Irregulars, with 0.3-second quickdraw. He prides himself on almost never missing his shot, even when shooting "gangster-style." Likeness of Mark Collie (circa 2004).

Eddie Lau: A Cantonese martial artist, Eddie possesses a black-belt (at least) in a variety of martial arts, and is often called upon to assist with the training of the other Irregulars. Likeness of Rain (circa 2009).

Xavier Delgado: A Mexican immigrant who grew up in the sprawling naval yards of San Diego, Xavier is a former Merchant Marine and the oldest of the Irregulars. During Vietnam, he served with distinction in the Mekong Delta, proving himself a sailor through and through. He currently works in Seattle's port district as a longshoreman, and keeps track of Moriarty's smuggling operations. Likeness of Danny Trejo (circa 1999).

Nicky Lee: Born in New York but raised in Tacoma, Nick is an expert at outdoor survival and in infiltrating narrow areas due to his small build, flexible frame, and fearlessness when it comes to dark, cramped confines. He is somewhat agoraphobic, and rarely leaves the Seattle Underground where he makes his home. Likeness of Eli Roth (circa 2009).

5.) Giles Lestrade: The owner of the Lestrade Fight Den, a gym that teaches mixed martial arts, Lestrade is kept on payroll by Holmes for the purpose of training his Irregulars and keeping an ear to the street. A former karate champion, Lestrade never hesitates to enter the fray at Holmes' command. Likeness of Ray Park (circa 2007).

Antagonists

1.) Professor Moriarty: James Moriarty is a Chechen mobster and a criminal genius. Five years older than Holmes, he possesses an unparalleled aptitude for mathematics of all sorts, which has added him greatly in building a criminal empire that extends across Washington. Almost every criminal in Seattle works for his crime ring, directly or indirectly, whether they know it or not. He is also a highly skilled martial artist, making him a shadowy reflection of Sherlock Holmes in every respect. Likeness of Milo Ventimiglia (circa 2007).

2.) Irene Adler: Holmes' former girlfriend and Moriarty's lover, Irene is highly talented at disguise and infiltration. A ravishingly beautiful and charming girl, Irene is very cold, and cares little for other people beyond how they can benefit her. Moriarty had used her to get close to Holmes, seemingly only to prove that his reach could extend even to those Holmes held dear. Likeness of Bianca Beauchamp (circa 2000).

3.) Sebastian Moran: A former Royal Marine in the British Navy, Moran spent time honing his combat skills in the Special Air Service before his discharge, after which he served as a military advisor in some of the bloodiest conflicts in Africa, the Middle East, and third-world Asia. Moran is proficient with explosive, sniper rifles, blunt and edged arms, and just about anything that can be used as a weapon. An expert tactician, he is frequently able to improvise effectively when the larger strategic plans prove ineffective. He is perhaps the only man on Earth that Moriarty trusts without reservation. Likeness of Ray Stevenson (circa 2008).

4.) The Red Triangle Gang: Moriarty's elite operatives, this dangerous group of psychotic killers consists of members from around the world, each with a deadly gimmick and a nom de guerre to match. They are identified by a small tattoo, a triangle within a circle, hidden on their bodies. Members are:

Cane: An Englishman who wields canes that secretly house swords or guns. Likeness of Vinnie Jones (circa 2010).

Stiletto: A Brazilian with uncanny knife-fighting skills. Likeness of Eduardo Yáñez (circa 2004).

Combat: A specialist in unarmed warfare from Waco, Texas. Likeness of Michael Madsen (circa 2004).

Silence: A ninja from the island of Singapore. He never speaks, due to a malformation of his vocal cords. Likeness of Lee Byung-hun (circa 2009).

Tequila: a femme fatale from Vera Cruz, Tequila kills her victims with deadly poisons. Likeness of Martha Higareda (circa 2010).

Garotte: A Frenchman from Marseilles who strangles his victims with a wire hidden in his wristwatch. Likeness of Jean-Claude Van Damme (circa 2004).

Roc: An immensely strong, giant of a man from Madrid, Spain who is unable to feel pain. Likeness of Robert Maillet (circa 2009).

Other Characters

1.) Siger Holmes: Holmes' father, Siger is the former territorial governor of Hong Kong, now living in quiet retirement in America. Likeness of Charles Shaughnessy (circa 2005).

2.) Violet Holmes: Mother to Sherlock and wife to Siger, Violet is a former professional tennis player, and is something of a socialite. She is very fond of Jane, citing the good influence her friendship has had upon Sherlock. Violet is descended from the French painter Claude Joseph Vernet. Likeness of Natasha Richardson (circa 1998).

3.) Sherrinford Holmes: The third and eldest of the Holmes children, Sherrinford is Mycroft's senior by 3 years. Like his brothers, Sherrinford was a child prodigy, and began a career in anthropology and archeology at a young age. Having spent so much time in remote parts of the world, he is not frequently mentioned by the rest of his family in casual conversation (though they never deny that he exists). Likeness of Paul Freeman (circa 1981).

4.) John & Sarah Watson: Jane's parents are upwardly-mobile professionals who have nonetheless made every effort to be a part of their daughter's life. While they somewhat disapprove of Jane being a private detective, they generally do not object as long as her grades remain unaffected. Likenesses of Bryan Cranston (circa 2003) and Fran Drescher (circa 2005), respectively.

5.) Marty Morstan: Jane's boyfriend of 1 year, Marty is the quarterback on and captain of the George E. Challenger High football team. Though he and Jane have dated monogamously throughout their relationship, a recent rift has occurred between the two, and it remains to be seen what direction they will take. Likeness of Matt Czuchry (circa 2006).

6.) Arsène Lupin: A self-styled "gentleman thief," this young Frenchman has earned a notorious reputation across mainland Europe and committed many famous burglaries. While generally on the wrong side of the law, Lupin will not hesitate to take up arms against those who are worse than he is, and never forgets a wrong done to him. Likeness of Johnny Depp (circa 1995).

(A/N: If anybody out there knows who voiced Holmes in the PC game, don't hesitate to tell me. Seriously, it's been driving me crazy. Please Review.)
