His outdoor wear includes a chocolate colored jacket under a similarly colored inverness with a matching signature cap. the personality overall personality • Basil is eccentric, tenacious, and brilliant. His mind is a steel mousetrap and much like the human tenant of his house, Sherlock Holmes, he keeps it under tight control, only allowing such information in that will benefit his work. He’s single-mind edgy driven. When Basil has a case to solve, all of his considerable energy and skills are bent upon it. He comes off as rude to others because of his ego and attention only to what he deems worthy. He is heroic, honorable, and virtuous at heart, though not above lying or cheating to get the job done. Basil has a flair for the dramatic and can utilize his uncanny ability to memorize facts to manipulate others, whether it be in disguise or in the appearance of sociableness. Basil does have a tenuously large heart beneath all of his task-oriented genius. Because of his work he often pushes others away unless they can be useful to him, but there are exceptions to this rule, try as he may to hide it. At first this is because he loves to show off his own skills, but once someone has endeared themselves to the Great Mouse Detective, he finds himself surprised to care about them as deeply a he does finding the next clue, though he finds genuine affection hard to show. the history overall history •Basil of Baker Street was born into an aristocratic family in Mousedom, England. His father was a sharp-minded scientist and his mother was a capable reporter for the London Times. Perhaps this is why their children were so brilliant. Basil’s brother, Ronald, used his sharp wits lazily and, being bored with life in general because of his own rapid brain, became indolent and lethargic, addicted to substance to slow himself down to the pace other, average animals lived in. Growing up, Basil did the opposite. He began trying his mouse hands at anything that could occupy his mind. First he mastered the stage, delighted for a time with the ability to understand the minute details of individuals and replicate them to fool the mind as different characters. Bored with this, a teenaged Basil took up boxing. Hand-to-hand combat was exhilarating because it allowed him to analyze how the mind and body are linked and what the average mouse will do when in fighting mode. Finally he turned his hand to scientific experiments after graduating early, but when his many experiments destroyed his father’s lab equipment his parents insisted he find new lodgings. Basil moved to 221 Baker Street in a little hole owned and kept by a Mrs. Judson. Here, he began his detective career after studying the habits of the human living above him, Sherlock Holmes. His first big case made him famous, saving a mouse family from the misdeeds of a dark criminal mastermind named Professor Ratigan. Through every subsequent case, Basil became more and more obsessed with not only foiling Ratigan’s plots, but capturing him once and for all. Several run-ins and successful tactics to stop the rat ensued over the years, but much to Basil’s fury, Ratigan always managed to get away. The detective and the professor’s Cold War escalated when he was hired by a little lost girl named Olivia Flaversham, the daughter of a kidnapped toy maker, and Dr. Dawson, who was accompanying the child. Basil was hot on Ratigan’s trail, thanks large,y to the incompetence of Ratigan’s minion Fidget, the surprising clues of Olivia Flaversham (who insisted on tagging along) and through the befuddled, almost accidental help of Dr. Dawson. Ratigan had captured the toy maker because Olivia’s father was especially gifted in making animatronics. Ratigan kidnapped Olivia right out from under Basil and Dawson to force the mouse to go through with his dastardly scheme. On the Queen’s celebration evening, Ratigan sprang his trap. He used Olivia to lure Basil and Dawson into a deathtrap, left them there to meet their end, and coerced the toymaker into replacing the unfortunate Queen with an animatronic that would name him King of all Mousedom. Basil, devastated at having been outsmarted, especially to the detriment of little Olivia and Dawson, whom he’d come to care for more than he realized, was in a defeated stupor, questioning his entire career and own capabilities. He would’ve continued feeling sorry for himself, but at the last moment, Dawson inspired him, not only getting the Great Mouse Detective to stop thinking about himself, but as was his custom, accidentally giving Basil a clue to their victory in the process. Basil learned that sometimes he needed help from an ordinary mind, not only to solve cases, but to keep himself grounded. He foiled Ratigan’s trap, freed Olivia, and rushed to stop Ratigan. The Professor and Basil dueled atop Big Ben, nearly costing the detective his life, but ultimately defeating Ratigan. After being honored by the Queen, sending Olivia off on her merry way with her father, and adopting Dawson as his new partner, Basil continued to solve cases. At the back of the brilliant criminal expert’s mind, doubt still lingered. They had never found Ratigan’s body. Dawson tried assuring his friend that no one could have survived the fall his adversary had taken, least of all a rat. Basil could not be convinced. “When every possible explanation has been ruled out, the impossible, however unlikely, must be the solution.” He was at his wits end about how to begin investigating the fate of his worst enemy until the Worlds Merged. Due to hoping to find clues about the dark side of the war, where the world’s greatest criminal mind might be drawn to, as well as no small amount of fascination with what he might learn there, Basil left Baker Street to seek out new clues in Nottingham. the role player alias • Spot age • 23 pronouns • She, her how did you find us? • MY FRIENDSSS! other characters •Simba, Tarzan, Aladdin, Lilo, Taiwo, Rani, Dodger, Kron, Leroy, Denahi, Beast, Janja, Connor, The Evil Queen. |
