Username: basil
Movie(s) your character is in: The Great Mouse Detective
Character's Personality: Basil is a proper British gentleman and a detective by profession. He has remarkable powers of observation and deduction, which he delights to use to mystify others. Basil sometimes shows manic-depressive tendencies, bursting with energy one minute, then dangerously depressed the next, particularly when he sees himself as failing in any area. He has a well-developed ego; Basil is a genius and he knows it, but he is never obnoxious in the Gaston mode. Unfortunately, he does tend to focus so keenly on his own agenda that he might treat others rudely, ignoring or patronizing them on occasion. Basil is neat in his personal dress, but very untidy otherwise. He smokes a pipe, plays the violin, and excells at darts and chess. He also invents strange devices out of odds and ends, though for professional uses, not for fun.
Character's History: Basil was born into a modest country home in rural England. His genius displayed itself at a very early age, astonishing his parents when he taught himself to read at the age of two. Although Basil's ability to deduce volumes about others by simple observation could be embarrassing, the family took it mostly in stride, and early life was generally happy, excepting school days, which bored the young prodigy beyond measure.
Easily securing a scholarship to a London university, Basil threw himself into academics, intending to become a police detective (his parents wanted him to become a lawyer). When one day, quite by accident, he encountered the human detective Sherlock Holmes, he suddenly realized his true calling: to become the rodent world's first private consulting detective.
Graduating as the youngest lad in university history, Basil moved to Baker Street to better study the methods of Mr. Holmes. Unfortunately, there's more to starting a business than hanging out a shingle, and clients were not plentiful at first. A few modest successes paid the rent and put cheese on the table, but also made Basil aware of a great brain behind much of the underworld activity in London; thus he encountered his greatest enemy, Prof. Ratigan. After two highly-publicized cases, including solving the Trupshaw disappearance, Basil began to see his name in print and had truly arrived in his chosen profession.

Roleplay
Task: You have just arrived at Walt Disney World. Your character has just been brought to the Happiest Place On Earth, but what happens then? What do you do first? What park are you going to go to? Write a 3-5 paragraph RP using our rules into effect.
Basil of Baker Street had never been to America before. What better place to observe that intriguing nation than in it's largest vacation complex? He arrived at the TTC keen with excitement, taking in every detail.
Taking a map from the brochure rack, he spread it on the sidewalk. "To explore a land as large as this, one needs information. What better place to find it than a map?" he said to himself. If only there was someone to talk to; observations were much more fun to make with a sidekick about to share them with.
Several areas of the Park immediately appealed to the diminuitive detective. Innovenntions promised an entertaining look at science, one of Basil's hobbies, and Adventureland sounded intriguing (he was always up for an adventure). Of course, World Showcase boasted a section about Dear Old England, but perhaps he would save that until he began to feel homesick.
He finally decided to begin with the Magic Kingdom. Main Street USA sounded like the best way to get a taste of typical American life, and there was a medieval castle at the end of it (Basil never told anyone, but he harbored a secret fantasy to be a knight of yore).
Basil left the brochure, never realizing that he was littering, so eager was he to begin exploring. Off he strode to board the monorail for the Magic Kingdom.

How did you find us? Someone mentioned you on the imdb.com message boards.
Do you like the site so far? Don't know yet.
Anything you need us to know or any questions? I have a million questions! I really haven't a clue what I'm doing, but any time I get to wax eloquent about Basil, I'll give it a try.
One thing: are there other guests in the parks, besides us Disney characters? I assume there are plenty of cast members.
Also, I see my avatar doesn't appear. How am I supposed to add it?
