Detective Llewellyn Watts ([personal profile] pocketpretzels):

  • came to Fandom post season 15 of Canadian period drama Murdoch Mysteries.
  • is 34 and is your friendly neighbourhood sheriff.
  • is from Toronto, Ontario, specifically it was the year 1909 when he left. it's now 1911.
  • would prefer it if you refer to him as "Watts", "Detective Watts", or "Detective". First names are far too intimate for this Edwardian-era nerd.
  • (speaking of being an Edwardian-era nerd) is nearly always dressed in a full three-piece suit. If outdoors, he's also got a hat on. This is significant enough that if it's not the case, the narrative will absolutely mention it.
  • does not have a firm grasp on things like social graces.
  • once had very little in the way of a brain-to-mouth filter, but has gotten better about that.
  • is bad with things like 'personal space'. Much like a toddler, he will make a grab for something you have in your hands if he wants to see it. Will also drop it on the ground after he's done with it.
  • is, similarly, a menace to plant life anywhere. No leaf or flower bud is safe.
  • also has a habit of helping himself to food or drink left about.
  • was raised by his sister until he was twelve, at which point she ran off and he was taken in by his landlady.
  • enjoys street food. Misses Toronto's readily available soft pretzels.
  • is also Jewish by birth, although he wasn't raised in the faith and only found out this fact as an adult.
  • came to Fandom with a vague knowledge of the island's weird tendencies thanks to coming from the same timeline (albeit almost thirty years later) as former student William Murdoch.
  • is still rather shellshocked by modern prices though.
  • is gay, which goes... well, actually, it goes better than you'd expect in canon for the most part, because the main characters on this show are all fairly progressive, but still.
  • is dating Steven Grant (one half1 of [personal profile] hasaknightjob) and is absolutely smitten. 1 so far as anyone is aware, at least.

Doctor Will Halstead ([personal profile] doctorgingerspice):

  • is from post season 4 of Chicago Med, a medical procedural that is one part of a canon universe of procedural dramas referred to as "One Chicago" (the other shows being Fire, PD, and, briefly, Justice. Due to crossovers that happened in PD- and a Justice character who later become a SVU regular- it also shares a canon timeline with Law & Order: SVU, and FBI.)
  • is in his early-to-mid 30s, and is currently running the clinic in town, with a regular shift there on Tuesdays.
  • is from Chicago, Illinois.
  • relocated to Fandom originally because he was in Witness Protection.
  • went back home last year for what he thought was "for good", nearly died, broke up with his fiancee, and decided to come back to Fandom.
  • is deeply traumatized by the events that led him here but is steadfastly refusing to acknowledge or deal with said trauma. This will definitely end well for everyone.
  • has a career history that makes very little sense, because I'm fairly sure the writers retooled the character between his initial introduction and the proper premiere of Med.
  • is not arrogant, he just knows more (about medicine) than you.
  • is an extremely talented diagnostician. We're talking magic hands here people.
  • will do what he thinks is best, when it comes to medical treatment. Which uh. Is not always the ethical choice.
  • has a younger brother who he cares a lot about, but their family history is... fraught?
  • (like, we're talking his dad initially didn't approve of him going to college and then med school, because "A Real Man goes right to work.")

Kimera:

(pictured: not actually Kimera)

  • is 40.
  • is from the Vancouver area, British Columbia, Canada.
  • is therefore on Pacific Time.
  • works from home, usually available after 5:30ish on weekdays and whenever on weekends, but can sneak pings during the day most times.
  • hangs out in Discord a lot.
  • has suckered enough people into watching Murdoch Mysteries that said Discord actually does have a support group.
  • is super up for anything, whether it's serious plotty or characters just hanging out. HMU.
