This is war

[starrylizard]

Hi fellow Sherlock fans,

I am attempting to make a short Sherlock vid for a challenge and I need to cast the roles that appear in the song "This is War" by 30 Seconds to Mars.

My thoughts so far go like this:

The Good: John
The Evil: Moriarty
The Soldier: John or a soldier from 202
The Civillian: Sarah or Mrs Hudson
The Martyr: Soo Lin
The victim: Lots of those, no problem
The Prophet: Mycroft
The Liar: Irene Adler
The Honest: Molly Hooper
The Leader: Lestrade
The Pariah: Taxi driver/serial killer
The Victor: Sherlock and John? or maybe Moriarty
The Messiah: Sherlock

I assume there isn't a problem with casting a character twice, but I'd prefer not to. Not sure where to place Irene Adler in here. I think I need to shuffle the deck a bit... hmm

Any thoughts? Anyone? Please... *wibbly lip*

Hmm, Henry could be the soldier I guess. I can see it.

Sarah is currently in the vid as the civillian. I'll throw Mrs Hudson in the vid somewhere else. Donovan? Yeah I thought of those two, but they didn't seem to fit any category.

The only one I'm really struggling with now is "victor". Most people seem to say John and Sherlock together and "The victor". o maybe I'll do that.

Thanks!

What if you do something really meta and put Moffat as the Victor? You can crib him from any number of interviews he's done, though of course image quality might pose a problem... mmmh...

Nice idea, but they have to be TV characters for the challenge, so I don't think that'd be allowed. Thanks though.
