"The conduct of the criminal investigation has been left in the
experienced hands of Inspector Lestrade, of Scotland Yard,
who is following up the clues with his accustomed energy and sagacity."
Gregory Lestrade is a determined but conventional Scotland Yard detective who consults Sherlock Holmes on many of his cases and stands as one of the most prominent police figures in the Sherlock Holmes series. Lestrade is a fictional creation belonging to that of Scottish writer and physician, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and the representation portrayed here is a modern depiction, taking place in present times and heavily based on the BBC series Sherlock. There is an assortment of liberties taken with this character based on other works of literature, published theories, perspectives, and other such portrayals elsewhere, but the character mostly remains the same.
Living in London and its beautiful, booming cultural capital had its perks, but there is always the other side of things safeguarded by those of thankless professions. Competent Detective Inspector Gregory Lestrade makes it his primary objective to protect London and the officials of New Scotland Yard from descending into chaos. With his twenty-plus years of experience on the force, he wasn't exactly devoid of reason, but he was tenacious once he understood what he had to do, and indeed it was just this tenacity which has brought him to the top at Scotland Yard. Though he might not have Sherlock's brilliance, Lestrade is a capable officer in his own right, and his reasonable, level-headed personality makes him the perfect intermediary between Sherlock and the rest of the force. He also bears a closeness with Dr. John Watson, a friendship built on a camaraderie of frustration. Still, for all their bickering, Sherlock and Lestrade nonetheless consider themselves friends, and each man would trust the other with his life. He has also gained the trust of the public, and will obstinately do whatever it takes by law to maintain that trust.

Rules
- OOC ≠ IC
Even though our beloved bumbling detective is learning, what happens out of character does not equal what transpires in character. The same is true in reverse. What is told in confidence or anything read about the character should not be known unless it is common in-universe knowledge, published or verbalized via characters involved, so on and so forth. - Be Considerate
Mun has a tendency to be a bit of a lurker. A lot of role-plays may just be appreciated as a spectator or may refuse to participate altogether. Please respect as such, but there is no harm in inquiring interested parties either. Mun is open-minded, untethered, friendly, unrated, uncensored, and welcomes diversity!
- No Powerplay
No God-modding, power-playing, or auto anything, please. I understand grand, ethereal beings exist, but most entities of that caliber have some kind of composure and restraint around us mortals, yes? Original characters are welcomed and canons from other fandoms are greatly inspiring and appreciated. There is no judgment here, for the most part!
- Availability
U.S. Central Standard Time in the evenings and weekends. Mun works long hours and currently has two jobs, one of which is full-time. This is not to deter from long-term plots despite the possibility of long pauses in between. Patience and understanding is sort of a prerequisite. Messaging style role-plays through RPR are preferred, whereas live roleplays will be much more difficult. Apologies in advance!
- Romance
If it happens, it happens, but it is not very likely all things considered. There will not be anything already established either -- mun prefers to build relationships be they romantic or otherwise. Please consider the character's preferences.
- Fighting
The detective inspector has many years worth of training under his belt and will defend the helpless to the detriment of his own wellbeing if need be. The whole prospect of picking fights with a Scotland Yarder isn't exactly wise either, as he is resourceful and ever vigilant, but nothing is always fully determined. There will be no instant deaths. It would be preferred to discuss all these epic battles beforehand.
- Hearken!
Rules may be subject to change or update accordingly! Nothing too drastic, assuredly. This character's beliefs and actions are their own and do not reflect those of his player. Please do not take anything the character might do or say personally. This is entirely fiction, and nothing should be taken seriously.
