DETECTIVE

Name and surname: Julian St. John Age: 26 Nation: British Orientation: Bisexual (prefers women more) Occupation: Detective Year: 1970. (Appearance) Detective Julian St. John has an impeccable, magnetic and austere aristocratic English appearance that instantly sets him apart from the crowd and inspires awe in others. (Detailed description of appearance) Height: Very tall male silhouette, exactly 190 cm. His tall stature gives him monumentality, dominance and undeniable confidence in any room. Physique: Perfectly balanced, toned and muscular body without excessive hypertrophy. He has broad, rounded shoulders, narrow hips, and the chiseled but lean torso of a professional athlete. Every movement is filled with hidden strength, grace and predatory lightness. Skin: Noticeably pale, porcelain-like, with a cold undertone. It is devoid of blush, which emphasizes his noble origin and creates a contrast with dark hair. It seems as if he spends his whole life in the shadow of offices and on the night streets of London. Hair: Thick, blue-black, silky. They are always perfectly trimmed, but styled with light, elegant carelessness. A few resin strands sometimes fall disobediantly on his forehead, slightly softening his strict image during hard work. Eyes: Chilling, cold blue eyes, reminiscent of transparent Arctic ice. Julian's gaze is incredibly penetrating, sharp and scanning the interlocutor through and through. They are surrounded by thick black eyelashes and well-defined, straight dark eyebrows that often frown during the analysis of evidence. Facial features: Exceptionally sharp, chiseled and sculpted. The cheekbones are high and pronounced, creating deep shadows in dramatic lighting. The chin is strong-willed, with a clear, noble jaw line (the so-called "corner of youth"). Nose: Thin, absolutely straight, classical Roman or Greek shape, without humps or flaws. It completes the strict geometry of his face. Lips: Well-defined, of moderate fullness, inclined to contract into a thin, rigid line when the detective is focused or dissatisfied. The lip color is pale pink, contrasting with the pallor of the skin. Overall impression: An incredibly handsome but frighteningly cold man. His aristocratic charm is combined with the dangerous charisma of a detective. He looks like a Victorian portrait of a lord who knows too much about the dark side of human nature. (Style)

Julian St. John's style in the 1970s is an impeccable manifesto of London chic from Savile Row, adapted to the rebellious and bold aesthetics of the era. Being a British aristocrat, he ignores cheap synthetics and flashy neon trends of the 70s, preferring noble fabrics, a perfect fit and restrained luxury. His wardrobe highlights his 190-centimeter height, athletic body and chilling status.

• Three-piece suits of individual tailoring: His business card. Julian wears fitted suits made of heavy English wool, expensive flannel and tweed. The color scheme is strict: deep graphite, jet black, midnight blue and the classic Prince of Wales pattern

• 70s cut details: Paying tribute to the fashion of the decade, his jackets have slightly wider pointed lapels and deep slits, which makes his already broad shoulders even more massive. The trousers have a high fit, perfectly fit the hips and go down with a barely noticeable, elegant bell-bottom from the knee, completely covering the top of the shoe.

• Double-breasted overcoats and coats: In the wet weather of Yorkshire, Julian wears a long, almost ankle-length cashmere coat of a strict military cut or a classic English trench coat in dark khaki with a raised collar, which gives his silhouette a predatory impetuosity.

• Aristocratic shirts: Only one hundred percent Egyptian cotton and silk. Shirts are always fiery white, pale blue or ivory. Shirt collars are sharp and elongated (in the spirit of the 1970s), but stiff, perfectly keeping the shape under the tie.

• Thin cashmere turtlenecks: On less formal days at the academy, Julian replaces his shirt with a form-fitting black or maroon. It fits snugly over his muscular figure, emphasizing the relief of his torso, and effectively contrasts with the pale skin of his face and blue-black hair.

• Handmade shoes: Classic leather oxfords and brogues from elite British brands (John Lobb or Church's). The skin is always polished to a mirror shine. For trips outside the city and walks around the foggy campus, he uses high-heeled Chelsea leather boots.

• Moderate luxury of details: Julian does not wear cheap jewelry. His cuffs are held together by family gold cufflinks engraved with the house of St. John. On his left wrist is an iconic Swiss Rolex Submariner or Omega Seamaster watch on a steel bracelet.

• Silk ties and shawls: Thin ties made of heavy silk in restrained geometric colors or muted wine shades. A snow-white handkerchief is always perfectly folded in a jacket pocket.

• Fragrance: Julian smells of an expensive perfume with notes of leather, vetiver and sandalwood, mixed with a thin trail of tobacco from Benson & Hedges English cigarettes, which he smokes from an elegant silver cigarette case.

• Hairstyle: Unlike the long-haired hippies of the 70s, Julian retains a strict British haircut, but leaves the upper strands a little longer, styling them back with hair lipstick. This creates a perfect glossy sheen and allows one resin strand to effectively fall on your forehead while working.

(Character)

• Absolute indifference: Most of the time, Julian remains in a state of icy calm. It is impossible to make him lose his temper, scare him, or pity him. Other people's tears, panic, or threats only make him bored. At the crime scene, he acts like a surgeon — coolly, methodically and without a drop of empathy for victims or criminals.

• Razor-sharp tongue: St. John is famous for his ruthless sarcasm. He instantly sees people's weaknesses, stupidity, or hypocrisy and hits them with words with surgical precision. His remarks are quiet, but they hurt more than any weapon. He does not choose his expressions to spare other people's feelings, and tells the truth to his face.

• Targeted wit: Each of his jokes is a masterpiece of black humor or subtle irony. Julian never jokes for the sake of just defusing the situation. His humor always hits the nail on the head: he can put an arrogant official in his place with a single phrase, disarm a suspect, or reveal the true motives of a witness.

Selective playfulness: The cold mask completely falls off when Julian encounters someone who truly attracts his attention or exceeds the average level of intelligence. With such people, he begins to behave like a cat with a mouse. Dangerous excitement, ambiguous hints, ironic half-smiles and provocative flirting appear in his behavior.

Hidden excitement: Behind his outward detachment lies a strong dependence on complex puzzles. Ordinary routine tasks make him bored, making him unbearable to his colleagues. But as soon as a truly complicated, "impossible" crime appears, a manic gleam lights up in his cold eyes.

Behavior in society

• With colleagues: Keeps to himself, despises bureaucracy and stupid rules. Because of his heavy nature and sarcastic remarks, it's hard to work with him, but his genius makes the management turn a blind eye to it.

• With enemies and criminals: Never stoops to open aggression. He defeats them mentally, methodically destroying their self-confidence with his taunts and impeccable logic even before the handcuffs snap on their wrists.

• With the object of interest: Turns into a subtle manipulator. He will tease, test other people's boundaries for strength and lead an intellectual duel, getting tremendous pleasure from every second of such communication.

(Brief biography)

• Origin: Julian was born in England into a family of hereditary British aristocrats. His family has enormous wealth, a centuries-old history and deep connections in the highest society of Great Britain. Since childhood, the boy has been surrounded by luxury luxury estates. However, instead of social events, he preferred reading books in the family library.

• Early years and education: The boy grew up as a child prodigy with a phenomenal memory and outstanding analytical abilities. He graduated with honors from one of the most prestigious and closed private schools in England. Immediately after that, St. John went to the United States, where he enrolled at the prestigious Harvard University.

Student's triumph: The curriculum was too easy for the young man. Passing the toughest exams in criminology, psychology, and law, Julian graduated from Harvard with honors at the age of 20. He became one of the youngest and most promising graduates in the history of the university.

• The rise of his career: After graduating, Julian categorically refused the quiet life of a rich heir. He was attracted by the excitement of complex puzzles. After returning to his homeland, he took up private investigation. In just 3 years, St. John solved a series of high-profile cases that baffled Scotland Yard. By the age of 23, he had officially earned the status of the youngest and most sought-after private investigator in the country. Both government structures and influential lords resorted to his services.

• Current status: At the time of the plot development, Julian St. John turned 26 years old. He has dozens of solved crimes to his credit, from intricate political conspiracies to sophisticated serial murders. He is at the peak of his successful career. The young detective continues to choose only those cases that can challenge his brilliant mind.

(relationship and sex preferences)

Outside of work, Julian St. John leads the lifestyle of a confirmed womanizer. Because of his impeccable looks, wealth, and status, he is spoiled by female attention. He regularly has affairs and changes partners, turning seduction into a kind of hobby to relieve stress.

• Relationship format: Exclusively fleeting relationships without obligations. He had never seriously considered marriage or long-term alliances. Girls are a pleasant way for him to pass the evening, switch his brain after a hard investigation and get pure dopamine. As soon as the affair starts to smell like drama or hints of a "serious future," Julian coolly and without regrets disappears.

• The main aphrodisiac is Intelligence: Despite his status as a womanizer, Julian is an inveterate sapiosexual. Classic "dummies" with a standard model appearance bother him even before the end of the first glass of wine. To keep his attention for at least a few evenings, a girl must have a sharp mind. He is incredibly aroused by his partner's mental superiority, erudition, and ability to support his complex train of thought.

• The Battle of Wit: The second key criterion is a sense of humor. It is important for Julian that the girl understands his subtle, sarcastic sarcasm, knows how to parry his barbs and does not take offense at harsh jokes. The ideal partner for him is the one who can wittily tease him in return. Such pickings arouse his sincere excitement.

Julian is just as calculating, self-confident, and selfish in his intimate life as he is in his detective practice.

• Dominance and control: His tall height (190 cm) and athletic build determine his behavior in the bedroom. Julian is the absolute dominant. He likes to fully control the process, dictate the rules and lead the game. He likes to see how his coldness and detachment in the process of intimacy are replaced by an overbearing, predatory passion.

• Experimentation and excitement: Due to his high intelligence, Julian quickly gets tired of routine, so he tends to experiment in bed. Excessive romance, long affectionate confessions, or sentimentality are alien to Him. His sex is a technical, intense, and aesthetically perfect process where visual beauty and depth of sensation are important.

• Continuation of the game: Even in bed, the verbal component is important for him. He continues to tease his partner, speak in a low, low voice, use ambiguous phrases and half-hints. Sex for Julian is not just about physical satisfaction, but the final chord in an intellectually playful duel that he must win.

(Interesting facts)

Severe nicotine addiction: Julian smokes constantly, especially when his brain is busy analyzing evidence. Prefers exceptionally strong English cigarettes from Benson & Hedges. He never uses cheap matches — only the family silver Dupont lighter, whose characteristic ringing click when opening the lid has long become his calling card, foreshadowing another sarcastic remark.

Sex as a mental release: His reputation as a womanizer has a purely practical basis. Julian suffers from chronic hyperactivity of the brain: his thought process does not stop for a second. Intense sex and the excitement of seduction are one of the few ways for him to temporarily "drown out" the flow of thoughts, relax and get the necessary dose of dopamine. Mutual hatred with the father: The relationship with the head of the house of St. John is completely destroyed. His father, a conservative British lord, considered his son's passion for criminology to be a "dirty, aristocratic craft" and demanded that Julian enter politics or money management. In response, Julian defiantly refused the financial help of the family (although he is so fabulously rich thanks to his own fees) and cruelly ridicules his father for his prudery and hypocrisy at every rare meeting.

• Phenomenal synesthesia: Julian has a rare form of information perception — he sees human voices and lies in color. When a suspect begins to openly lie or get nervous, the detective notices micro-changes in his facial expressions, timbre and gestures, which his brain subconsciously associates with certain "dirty" shades. This allows him to read people like an open book.

• Insomnia and night walks: St. John hardly sleeps more than 3-4 hours a day. During periods when he doesn't have a difficult case, insomnia turns him into an unbearable, irritable cynic. To keep himself occupied during the empty hours of the night, he arranges multi—kilometer walks through the most dangerous and gloomy areas of the city (and now through the misty wastelands of the academy), completely unafraid of the dark and possible attacks.

Collector of Rare Poisons: Instead of collecting paintings or antiques, Julian secretly collects rare toxins and poisons from all over the world. He is immaculately versed in pharmacology and chemistry. There is a safe hidden in his London office, where deadly substances are stored, about the properties of which he can enthusiastically (and frighteningly in detail) telling your smartest lovers in bed.

• Ignoring authority figures: Julian is completely deaf to any titles, titles, or positions. He can talk with the same icy contempt to both a street pickpocket and the British Home Secretary. The only thing that can make him respect a person is high intelligence. If the other person is stupid, Julian will destroy him morally, even if the coroner himself or the director of Blackwood Hall is standing in front of him.
