All right, so. Sherlock is pretty famous for his deductive abilities, which basically means he can tell you a bunch of things about something at a glance. The problem is, he often tries this out on other people, as John Watson and Henry Knight, among others, can attest to. Very rarely do people manage to throw him off, though that honor can go to Jim Moriarty, who's a damn good actor, and Irene Adler, who first met him naked. But that's another story, so.

This post is, basically, so you can tl;dr on your character's habits, clothes, posture, career, scars, tics, measurements...yeah. Basically, lots of little things most people don't notice from your character. Hey, I'm not as perceptive as Sherlock, and I'm lazier. Dump anything you might think he'd notice and deduce from a few glances at your character, which is a lot, mind.

Also I think I'm done here.

Oh fun.

Minutae for Rudy: Rudolph is a medical doctor - though the tech's roughly early 20th century at best, but he's learning at the local clinics so he'd have the scent of antiseptic, well-trimmed nails, very fine motorskills, and the few repairs in his clothes are done with a surgical precision. He's also a researcher, so there's fades on his clothes where he rests his elbows on the table, the lingering smell of old books, and numerous writing callouses. He talks far more animatedly when the topic is intellectual, scrutinizing details to an obsessive point but open to evidence for research.

He's also moves very quietly for a man of his age and size.

Less likely to be picked up is that he's a monster hunter, he subconsciously scans people who fit certain profiles for tells, his eyesight's good at night, and he has some thieving skills such as lockpicking and trap disarming.

Scrooge: A self-made man, his clothes are actually rather old, but kept in extremely good condition and extremely high quality - so it's clothes that will last. He's always meticulously presented, though his cane as hairline cracks, as if he whacked it against things quite often, and have tons of callouses on his hands.
