4th WALL BREAKING: YES. He will think you're an idiot either way. 8|
THREADJACKING: Go for it! Try to read the scene, though (don't just jump in during a srs bsns moment).
BACK THREADING: Of course! :)

MIND READING: Ask, please!
LOCATION SENSING: Ask, please!
TELEPATHY: Ask, please!
SPECIAL/MAGICAL ITEMS: Ask, please!

FIGHTING CAPABILITIES: Skilled with swords and his hands, he uses his enemies strengths against them. He's trained in martial arts and uses it in strange, logical ways.
INJURY/DEATH: Ask, please!
WIN/LOSE/TIE: We can work it out. :)
MEDICAL/PHYSICAL INFO: He's bound to use his smarts against his opponent. He's light on his feet and he moves very quickly; he'll likely have his opponent totally worked out within, at most, fifteen minutes of fighting. He's athletic and extremely skinny. He's battling a nicotine addiction and is clean from his past relationship with cocaine. He has track marks.

ROMANCE/RELATIONSHIPS: NOT HIS AREA. Honestly, if he romances you, he's doing it for personal gain.
SEXUAL RELATIONS: Not really against it, but it's doubtful he'd willingly have sex with anyone lest it's for information. It's not really his area, as he so eloquently put it in A Study In Pink.
PHYSICAL CONTACT: ... I really wouldn't, not unless Sherlock initiates it. If Sherlock is being his blank, usual self, he won't react to hugs other than to look somewhat confused and out of place. Kisses will be much the same, only depending on who you are, he'll either let it continue or shove you away - it mostly depends on what he can get out of the physical contact given to him. Usually, though, he doesn't welcome it and he's somewhat formidable in the first place, so why would you ever?

ANY TRIGGERS/SECRETS/FACTS YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT: Sherlock is a high functioning sociopath. Or, at least, that's his story and he's sticking to it. He doesn't understand his emotions and likely ignores them completely if he actually has them. This leaves him cold and very detached from the human race - it's not especially unusual to feel odd around Sherlock, as it's a phenomenon that seems to happen when certain people are standing near. You just get the sense that something is off. (but please don't abuse this, since Sherlock is actually very flawless at pretending to be someone he isn't, so it will be tough to catch him at his own game).

Oh. And if you touch John? Yeah, he'll kill you.

As of the second series, Sherlock Holmes is considered dead. He isn't. 'It's just a magic trick' and that's precisely what it was - John saw Sherlock step off of a building and a bloodied corpse with Sherlock's face. Using multiple tools, people and placements (Molly and Mycroft likely included in the shenanigan), Sherlock is still alive, hunting assassins that threatened John, Mrs Hudson and Lestrade's life.
