Full Name: Samuel Spade Fandom: POTO, original, other (specify)? Works of Dashiell Hammett, specifically The Maltese Falcon (film) Age: None of your business. Height: 5'10 1/2" Weight: Build: Inclined to be athletic Hair: Brown Eyes: Brown Nationality: American Job: Private Investigator Personality: "a hard and shifty fellow, able to take care of himself in any situation, able to get the best of anybody he comes in contact with, whether criminal, innocent by-stander or client" Life Story (as much as you want us to know): Not much, really, to state. He solves impressive crimes, usually involving a femme fatale somehow, and in between manages to hold onto a few friends.

((Oh no, I mean I don't know, that's not the point. Just that she loves him. I'm sure she'll be tickled.))

((Mira here. And Kris, you know me well.
I adore Bogart and Sam Spade. But I'll have to keep Irene away at all costs...
I'm sure I have someone who can engage in manipulation contests with him, though.))

((Irene: Glad to hear it! I look forward to the challenge...
Azula: Yes! Thanks! ;D I love the books, too, and as it struck me as unusual that we had no apparent hard-boiled detectives, here's the archetype.))

((Man, those two would hate each other.
And dammit, Vimes is also modeled by Bogart. Maybe I'll change his avatar.))

((Thank you! Thanks, everyone! As it happens, the other part of that quote is that he "should not be like Sherlock Holmes" (emphasis his), so yeah, probably. About Vimes, isn't he also portrayed as Peter Postlethwait (according to Pratchett) or as Clint Eastwood? Here he is in the illustrations:))

((I know, I just always pictured him as Bogart. I'll probably use Eastwood.))
