SELFIE.
PROMOTIONAL PICTURE

NAME. John H(amish) Watson
HEIGHT & BUILD. 5ft 6.5in (169 cm) and I would put his weight around 145lbs (65 kg) or possibly more than that, since he has a tendency to pile on the pounds when he hasn't got anything to do.
DEXTERITY. John is predominately left-handed, but he was trained to shoot with his right hand while he was in the military. He may have been forced to write right-handed at school when he was a child as well, since that was a thing that happened back then.

PHYSICAL DETAILS.
- John has dark blue eyes.
- He has sandy coloured hair streaked with grey. A lot of grey. He has started wearing it parted on the right side and you won't see him with ruffled hair unless he is trying to fool you into thinking he is someone else. He doesn't use any hair products apart from shampoo and doesn't vary with his deodorants/aftershave either.
- He has round face, age lines, wrinkles, and bags under his eyes.
- He has a scar on his left shoulder from where he got shot, but good luck ever seeing that.

CLOTHING & ACCESSORIES.
- For coats, he mainly sticks to two: his trademark black haversack shooting jacket that he has owned since his army days and A.P.C. Structured Mac in Navy that is his official "doctor coat". Mostly. Since he is Florida, he doesn't wear them that often.
- He wears a lot of thin cardigans, jumpers, check shirts and jeans. Footwear, he wears either loakes (ashby brogue) or brown trainers. His wardrobe doesn't vary that much.
- He owns a Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph Automatic CS2111 watch and carries a unregistered Sig Sauer that he kept after his medical discharge and keeps hidden in the small of his back when it isn't hidden at home.

░░░ mannerisms.

PHYSICAL MANNERISMS.
- John carries himself like a military man, so he has very good posture. He often stands with his hands by his side, crossed over his chest or linked behind his back. He isn't the center of attention if he can help it; he will be standing one step behind or waiting on the side-lines and listening quietly.
- He is incredibly expressive with his facial expressions. When he is put into emotional situations where he has to talk about his feelings, he will mostly avoid eye contact and telegraphs how uncomfortable he is talking about them. He will trail off, clear his throat, leaving a sentence hanging and changing the subject entirely.
- He has a certain walk. It's almost like a swagger: very big strides with his arms going back and forth. One character it was chafing from riding his bicycle until Sherlock pointed out that he has always walked like this.
- He licks his lips. A lot. He will either purse them when he is miffed at someone or squeeze them with his fingers while he is thinking or listening to someone.
- He has the habit of wiggling his dominant hand when he is upset or in a stressful situation. He turns his body to face the threat head on and his body language is almost always aggressive. While he doesn't like talking about his feelings and will look away, he will almost always retain eye contact with what is pissing him off.

VERBAL MANNERISMS.
- John has an estuary accent, which is typical for working and middle-class families in London. This is an example of his speech after Sherlock's funeral, where he had to wait until he was alone to say what he was feeling.
- This is what he sounds like when he is scared.
- He usually tries to stop himself from swearing, unless he is really angry with someone and then will curse them out. He rarely says fuck but will sometimes say shit and call people dicks if they really deserve it.
- Talking about a victim and avoiding mentioning "The Fall".
