People still being accepted, or nah? I know I've been busy, but I've got a couple of days to belt out a character and get into things (again, provided it's not too late).

[hider=Dexter Wright][center]
Dexter Wright


{"Talent does what it can; genius does what it must."}
-Edward George Bulwer-Lytton[ hr][ hr]
Name;
Dexter Alexander Wright

Nickname;
Dex is what most of his childhood friends called him, the few he had anyway.

Date of Birth;
06/15/1989

Age;
26

Gender;
Male

Sexuality;
Heterosexual

Relationship Status;
Single

Sexually Active;
Yes, though he calls it a good form of exercise. Only once every couple of weeks or so, though.

Occupation;
Consulting Detective with NYPD Homicide

Room Number;
No preference

In Depth Appearance;
Dex stands at 5'11, with a slightly muscular build. He keeps active, though not religously so. His eyes are always wondering, always seeking and searching for something, it seems. He tends to keep his hair short, and he never lets his beard grow out much before shaving it. He typically keeps his clothing casual, even when on the job. He usually wears jeans, tennis shoes, and short-sleeved shirts, with a gray duster jacket in cool weather. His demeanor is usually kept calm and cool, although it might be obvious to many that the cogs in his brain are always churning. His skin is more on the pale side, although it's clear he does spend time outside.

Habits | Oddities | Quirks;
- He has a verbal tic, saying "Mmm" alot during speech.
- He likes to pace when thinking
- He mouth tends to twitch when he's concentrating, and he'll lick his lips
- He rarely gets more than a few hours of sleep, although it never seems to negatively affect him.

Hobbies;
- Playing violin
- Picking locks (has a collection of 150 different locks)
- He's a practicer of kendo and Judo
- He also makes a hobby of beekeeping, having a hive on the roof of the apartment complex

Secrets;
- Before he moved to New York, he was addicted to opiates. He's been clean for almost 3 years now.
- His former lover turned out to be the head of a criminal organization in London. Because of this, he has issues getting close to women.

Likes;
- Books. He's an avid reader
- Intelligent conversation. He enjoys being able to talk to others about intelligent topics.
- Chess. He loves to exercise his brain, and Chess is one of the oldest ways.
- Interesting criminals. Even though he catches them, he likes the interesting ones, as they inspire him to new heights.
- Variety. He's very knowledgeable about various topics, and hates routines.
- Meditation. One of the ways he keeps himself mentally sharp.
- Learning. He's always open to learning new things.

Dislikes;
- Useless natterings. He's a big believer of the Sherlock Holmes "Attic Theory"
- Crime. He's so passionate about stopping it, that it seems to upset him to see someone thinking they're above the law.
- Fakers. He especially dislikes it when someone acts smarter than they are.
- Being tricked. It rarely happens, but he'll beat himself up over it for weeks.
- Rules. He tends to bend them more than break them, but he rarely follows police protocol, seeing as he isn't an officer.
- Cars. He sees them as useless, and liberally bikes/walks everywhere.
- Drugs. He knows they screwed him up in the past, and would rather stay away from them.

[color=000080[b]Fears;[/b][/color]
- Relapses. It's the one thing that all other addicts fear.
- Commitment. Not surprising, given his past; but he's afraid of connecting with another woman who turns out to be a criminal.

Personality;
Positive Traits
- Observant- Dex is very observant. He grew up reading a lot of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and grew up with Sherlock Holmes as a role model. Many people have noted the similarities he has to him. Despite this, Dex knows that the legendary detective was leagues from where he is, although there's not much that he misses.
- Open-minded: Dex is a very open-minded individual, able to accept people for who they are. He doesn't believe in labelling people by societal standards. Instead, he prefers to observe them and make his own judgements based on facts. Because of this, he is able to accept people for who they are, not who they were.
- Driven- Overly so. Dex knows that he's good at what he does, and he does his best to excel at his job. He would rather lose sleep than see a criminal get away for their crimes. However, Dex takes a few days to rest in-between cases, knowing tha the can't stay driven if he doesn't stay rested.
Negative Trait
- Blunt- Dex is rather blunt in social situations, usually speaking without concern for who's feelings get hurt. He believes more in saying things as they are instead of sugar-coating the truth. In the end, he believes it does more harm than good to try to make things "easier to swallow", instead preferring the blunt and honest truth.
- Messy- Dex is a rather messy individual, preferring messes so he can "connect the dots" with his cases that he works. However, many others have complained about his messes, although he just pays them no mind. In the end for him, what matters is catching the criminal.
- Cynical- Dex thinks only the worst of humanity as a whole. He feels that people will never really be able to turn society around. He feels that there will always be someone out there willing to exploit or kill someone for their own selfish needs. Not that he minds too much. Job security and all that.

Place of Origin;
London, England

History;
Dex was born in Londan, England to a upper-middle-class family. His father sent him off to boarding school when he was seven, in the hopes of his son becoming a lawyer. However, Dex despised the school, as he was often picked on for his intelligence. After graduating, he bounced from job to job, trying to find something he could actually be interested in. However, he usually quit the job within a week. He also declined several invitations to various law schools, refusing to follow in his father's footsteps, whom he'd come to begrudge.
After a year of bouncing from job to job, he happened upon a crime scene. After being interrogated, Dex proceeded to help with the investigation, being partnered with one Capt. Johnson of Scotland Yard. Seeing his talent, Johnson hired Dex as a consulting detective with Scotland Yard. It was during this time that he met and fell in love with one Elizabeth Grant. After being lovers for a year, Dex came across some clues that she wasn't all she seemed to be. Lo and behold, it turns out that Elizabeth was really the notorious "G", who was the head of a criminal organization that specialized in smuggling, black market dealings, and murders. Realizing he'd been tricked, Dex fell into depression, turning to drugs.
After he was asked to step aside from Scotland Yard, his parents found out about his addiction. He was sent to rehab and completed his six months. After being released, Dex decided to move to New York. After he arrived, he jumped from job to job again. After another year or so of that, he encountered Capt. Jameson of the NYPD Homicide Dept. Jameson remembered Dex from a trip he took to London, and offered him a place as a consulting detective. It was shortly after that Dex moved into Time Square Apartments. He's lived theere for nearly two years now, and has been sober for nearly three years.

Misc.;
He is very well-rounded with his knowledge, having a wide variety of topics that he regularly researches. Believe it or not, it usually helps him in his cases.
He will only take cases he deems "interesting". As such, he's seen as a troubleshooter for NYPD Homicide. He will even tackle cases that have gone cold. It's not often he takes a fresh case, unless the police know there's something unusual.
He keeps a literal library in his room, with two of his walls being taken over by bookshelves he installed himself. He also turned his closet into a library, and even has several books stored around the apartment.
My favorite place to visit is Japan (hope to, haven't been yet)

I haven't done anything with relationships, obviously. I'll add them once he's accepted, and I can discuss it with the characters' creators.

@louie221 Here I was thinking I was the only one that watched that show. Yes, I based Dex partially off of Holmes, with a few personal twists.

Accepted. Please place him in the Character Tab. :)

Also, quote my post then copy and paste what I have here because I fixed some of your coding mistakes and spaced out your paragraphs. :)
