Observation Log.

[1_truth]

Conan is a super awesome detective- I am not. He is highly, highly observant and notices the smallest of details- I'm not kidding the smallest. His Methods follow that of Sherlock Holmes for the most part as he knows the small details make up the big picture. So! What can Conan deduce from your character? If it helps at all, think about it like Sherlock Holmes is the one making observations as, like I said, Conan uses his methods.

Height: At or a little over seven feet tall, and built like a brick wall.

Complexion: Fair, even, but showing fewer than normal signs of aging.

Noticeable marks on skin: If Conan looks very, very, very carefully in the right light, he may notice that the skintone on Klaus's hands does not perfectly match the one on his face, nor does it even perfectly match between hands. If he ever catches a glimpse of Klaus's neck with his hair and coat collar out of the way, he'll notice a tatoo on the back that looks like this. And, should he ever spot Klaus shirtless (though I highly doubt it), he'll see quite a bit of scarring from swords, bullets and what looks like claws, as well as some very ugly stitching that may just explain the skin-tone differences.

Hair Color: Gray.

Natural or dyed hair? Entirely natural.

Occupation: Kindergarten teacher. Mad scientist (believe me, it will be obvious) out of his garage, which is usually open.

Anything picked up at work: Nothing physical, though Conan may notice him carrying a notebook back and forth from work with him each day. The current one is labelled 'Drone Child Psychology Longitudinal Study Vol. IX'. If we're talking work previous to Mayfield, then his fingers are highly calloused and his hands in general are scarred more than the rest of him, pointing to a medical or perhaps engineering bent (it is, in fact, both).

Speaking pattern: Well-spoken, somewhat formal, though makes use of contractions. Faint romanian accent, as though he's been speaking English fluently for a very long time. Curses in german or with phrases like 'red fire' and 'sweet lightning'. Calls robots 'clanks', zombies 'revenants', and a host of other interchangeable vocabulary. Tends to be curt when serious, but like all mad scientists can monologue with the best of them.

Personality Traits: Dry, a literal genius, very dominant and clearly used to being in control and having his orders followed, driven. Has a tendency to assume that he's the only one in any given situation who can handle themselves. Insane. No, really. Klaus sometimes has fits where he'll speak in a different, deeper, almost electrified voice, generally when he's very angry or in the middle of something scientific (though to be fair he's far better at controlling himself than most with his particular brand of Madness). Conan is bound to witness this at some point: Sparks in the fugue of Madness tend to be very loud and easy to spot, and Klaus does keep his garage/lab open. He may also notice that Klaus is particularly awkward around his assigned children, but seems to be making a concentrated effort to treat them well.

Anything else you can think of you think he might be able to notice: 729 Anderson in general is a weird house. The garage, which is usually open, contains guns and swords and a large examination table with straps, an attached and very scary looking drill, and a very old but very large bloodstain around the base. Besides the garage there's a 30 foot long blimp tethered on the lawn with what looks like a miniature forest growing out of the top. A very big anthropoid brass robot stands out front. These things can be linked to Klaus given that they all bear his sigil, which is the same as the mark on the back of his neck and the mark on the fastenings of most all of the clothing he owns. Speaking of that, it's all very fancy and old fashioned: great-coats, waistcoats, brass buttons, high collars, black boots, and lots of decoration that marks him as monied but not quite flamboyant. Also, given the amount of belongings he has regained, it might be easy for Conan to posit that he's been in Mayfield for quite some time (a year, at least).
