bakerstreet | it's 2012, baby!

[info here.]

[Field agent of SHIELD, currently undercover and infiltrating HYDRA (or THEM or any of the million of offshoots of HYRDA). Has massive "faith" in Captain America. Most likely will have incorporate some of her niece's information for Peggy, though, I'm open to anything!]

((info here. i'm also open in having the king of mars au incorporated somehow.))

Speed's shop is right next door to Andrew's little drug store, and on slow days he often wanders over to chat. He's a friendly sort, perhaps a little too friendly for some to tolerate, but he's figured out the secret to getting a conversation started.

It almost makes him glad he lost that finger over in Afghanistan, fighting the good fight against those...evil people who lived in Afghanistan.

(He's had to rework his language since returning to the states because his unit hadn't told him any of that was offensive but he's almost gotten all the slurs out of his system. He really does try to be the nicest to everyone, even the people he's planning to explode. Andrew feels it's the best policy.)

The pinkie was always the most useless digit anyway. Aside the lost finger he's got some burn scars on his hands and up his arm, usually covered by the long sleeves of his vintage bomber jacket. "Hiya, Abe!" he says, wandering in with his hands in his pockets and a bright grin on his face. "How's it going?"

[Gentleman, master of Pemberley Estates, twenty-eight year old CEO of Pemberley Industries, and graduate of Cambridge. His company, Pemberley Industries, has been in his family for over two hundred years, and specializes in banking, trading, and shipping, with a dabble in the diamond business. His net worth hovers over one billion and a half pounds (or almost two billion dollars). Depending on the point of his canon, he is the husband to Elizabeth Bennet, otherwise, he is an insufferable twat, who alienates many potential suitors and friends due to his arrogance, pride, and coldness. In the zombie universe, he is a feared, but well-respected slayer of the "Unmentionables".]

[The eldest son of Adam and Cathy Trask, Caleb (or Cal) is destined to repeat the actions of Cain and kill his younger brother, Aron, out of jealously. Barely out of high school, Cal is a skilled manipulator and wanderer who is perhaps the "most human human" of the book; he wants to be good, but, instead, he does bad. He doesn't have friends but rather "associates"; he's less approachable and beloved of his brother.]

[Gentleman, master of Longbourn, and husband to a very silly woman and father to five daughters (three of them very silly). He is completely uninterested in the affairs of his daughters' social life and has a very sarcastic wit, including when it comes to his wife. He is especially apathetic to the plight of his daughters and wife; when he dies, Longbourn will be turned over to the nearest male relative (in this case, his second-cousin, Mr. Collins), and his widow and family will be cast out, unless they find suitable husbands to support them.

Mr. Bennet can usually be found in his library, doors firmly closed away from Mrs. Bennet and the problems of his family.]

[Known as "the Beauty of Longbourn", Jane is the eldest daughter of the Bennet family. The future of the family rests entirely on her ability to procure a well-to-do husband. With her beauty and pleasing manner, it won't be too difficult. She is somewhat naïve, is willing and almost overeager to see the good in people, and is not as witty as her younger sister, Elizabeth. In the zombie verse, she is a trained and deadly warrior.]

[a legendary geatish hero, beowulf seeks to prove himself as a great warrior, even in modern times.]

[After vampires fled back to Europe and Asia, Elizabeth Bathory crossed the Atlantic aboard the RMS Titanic. Missing passengers, steerage passengers... none were noticed when the ship sank.

She resumed her name when she arrived in America and has been living in the New York/DC area since. Going by Betsy Bathory now, she runs an elite, high-priced call girl service. In her spare time, she coerces girls off the streets with promises of more. She rarely delivers.]

((the daughter of a very wealthy banker, just think of paris hilton and those socialites that are famous for just being famous when you think of ellie. she is very wild, rebellious, and quite the smart-ass.))

[mr. knightley is the very wealthy landowner of donwell abbey. he is kind and compassionate, and portrays good judgment, high moral character and maturity. one of his favourite past times is to constantly correct emma. although he has a degree in law, he practices it very little, although he advises his friends on legal matters for no charge since he has no need for the money.]

[ And what do the wealthy do? They go adventuring.

To be exact, they sneak into places of the highest security and attempt to steal things of even higher value, just for kicks. As far as hobbies go, no one would ever suspect Emma and Knightley, with their combined wealth, to be such thrill-seekers. And that was the beauty of it all.

Emma, donned in black of course, with her curly hair pulled into a high bun away from her face, sits in the stakeout car, binoculars to her face. ] Do you see them, dear?

this is an au?

[The nearly penniless daughter of the former Mr. Dashwood, Marianne is more the carefree, wildchild. Studying English Lit in uni, she gives her heart out more freely than she should.]

[Soldier or former soldier, demolitions expert, a bit on the childish watches-my-little-ponies-unironically side but it seems to have kept the PTSD away. If former soldier he runs a drug store in Milwaukee.]

[ Still a slightly bummy artist in New York (legally, this time). Does expressive freelance work, primarily in ink. As a day job, he serves coffee, and can often be caught singing to himself as he works. ]

[ so we've got quite a few choices for this little scamp; feel free to pick one and run with it! option a is luke, a delightfully awkward teenaged boy who enjoys video games, rousing sessions of D&D, and having his lunch money stolen, while option b is serrure, (also known as lock) a streetwise, pocket picking little urchin who's not above cheating you out of your money at cards. or if you prefer option c, which is plain and simple modern au headcanon kid!loki, we can roll with that, too. choose wisely! ]

[Everything Burns spoilers below, natch.]

[There's a place, in some AU universe, where things don't end up as nicely for Loki after Everything Burns as they do in canon. No kissing handmaidens. All-mommies exiled. All-daddy's brought back. A certain young scamp is sacrifice by the brother he betrayed to heal the illustrious World Tree. Everything pretty much sucks at the end of that AU arc. Good thing Loki doesn't remember it. And hey, it's not all bad. Thor isn't a member of the army of Hel's dead, for one. And that cute little mutt named after him never betrayed his little master.]

[Loki's leaving Asgard alone, and in this case, 'Loki' doesn't even exist anymore. So besides from Odin and Thor not speaking to each other except to trade insults (which, really, is not that new), the late Asgardia, now Asgard again, is a pretty content place, with everyone working on rebuilding what burned, and helping to see that Yggdrasil recovers in the months following the Great Burning.]

[They don't need Thor's help to do it. And so, he's spent more time on Midgard than he has in centuries, in entire lifetimes. The Avengers are getting sick of seeing him, honestly. Like having a teacher that never leaves the classroom. Though, most of his time is spent in Oklahoma, not New York.]

[No doubt Lock feels something similar to the Avengers, as far as Thor's concerned. Thor had promised to watch over him, protect him from harm. But he had planned to do so from a distance, had meant to. Instead, he found himself dressed in mortal's shirts and jeans, bared of armor, carrying a walking stick he doesn't use, and calling himself Don Blake which, were his other self still conscious in his head, he would be ashamed to hear. Don's poor reputation, his unfortunate patients...]

[But Donald Blake's time is over, along with the time of Loki, and Asgardia. All is changed.]

[And still Thor hangs around Lock, sees that he is well fed from Broxton's diners and stores of convenience, sees that he is sheltered and warm on these cold fall nights. Spoils him, perhaps, as atonement for destroying in name, in memory, the brother he loves.]

Here. [He hands Lock a Stark Phone, new and unused. Stark said he's getting sick of giving them to Thor, but in pride for his technology, gave the newest model all the same. What are they up to, five? Thor has no idea.] I had meant to gift it sooner, but had other matters on mind.

It is a Stark Phone. [Lock probably knows it, but Thor has lost track of what this newest incarnation of Loki knows and does not, and errs on the side of caution, always, even though he doesn't like it. It feels too similar to lying.]
