Pick a character I write, and I will give you the top five ideas/concepts/other I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to depicting them accurately. This includes both original characters and characters about whom I write fanfic.

2. He's a genius. Sherlock's mind never shuts down. He is always 'on'. He is always taking in information, always analysing and processing, always making connections. As such, he gets bored easily.
3. He creates vast networks of contacts. He cultivates relationships with people as sources of information. He can be extremely charming and charismatic when it suits him.
4. Sherlock is largely motivated by self-interest. He doesn't feel the need to do things out of obligation, or out of guilt. He does things because they're interesting.
5. Sherlock is very immature in his own way. The best way to see this is to observe his relationship with his brother.
