My (your) favorite spy

impulsereaderVery happily, the Much Ado sequence is beginning to gel in my head. Apparently my brain has self-preservation protocols built in which held off on this until I was done and had safely posted the first bit (being TSP woo hoo!). I can now begin working on the important bit while I use the Baker Street Interludes as caramelly-centred snack breaks.
This year (the Much Ado year) we are all about spies. In fact, in late-breaking news from the invisible being whispering into my brain: John paused, shook his head slightly in disbelief. “Hang on,” he said, “are you saying there’s a spy convention going on down the village?” “Well, I don’t believe they name it as such,” Mycroft sniffed, “but essentially, yes.”
I have plenty of competent investigators on the ground (J&S, Lestrade & Martin [Competent!Martin, yes, really] Hannay & Arbuthnot, Claude & Grandmere [yup, French Resistance] and Not Anthea [to whom I may need to issue a name this time around]) each of whom I need to give a plot line. So what I really need are some spies. Please feel free to fill out some or all of the requested criteria. Partially-filled info will serve as super secret mystery spy inspiration, so don’t be afraid to just flail round a bit. As always, I’m also open to *cough* borrowing an entire character if you have a favourite to offer up rather than making up someone new. In fact, take any character you’d like to see, and give them some motivation to become a spy!
**Do please note all spies are likely to be baddies; you don’t have to specify evil motivations, but don’t be surprised when your spy is thwarted within the story.**
Please feel free to submit as many spies as you like. The more spies the better!

Date: 2012-09-08 06:50 pm (UTC)Alias: Parks (most of his friends use it)
Country of employ: Works as night manager at a local gas station outside Des Moines.
Country of actual employ if other than above:
Country of actual actual employ if different from either of above:
Gender: Male
Age: Thirty-ish
Motivation (read as, why he/she became a spy - could be accidental): Parks has been mostly shut out of his twin brother's life. He figures that's because his brother is some kind of executive and Parks is a night manager at a gas station. But when his older (by minutes) brother vanishes, Parks feels he must look into it.
Weapon of choice: Has a baseball bat right next to the panic button behind the counter at work.
Gadget of choice: His swiss army knife has been useful in a hundred different ways, but he had to leave it behind to fly.
Vehicle of choice (air, sea, land, etc.): 1995 Saab 9000 Turbo. Not restored so much as repaired as often and as carefully as possible.
Opinion on 007 (please specify incarnation): All the movie versions of James Bond have really cool theme songs. He wants a really cool theme song.
Reason for wanting to attend our convention (read as, travel to England): His brother has disappeared mysteriously, but left behind a paid package booking for this excursion. Parks decided to take it in hopes that it will provide clues as to where his brother went.
Medical condition (if any): dandruff (hey, you never know what the presence of dandruff near an object can tell Sherlock)
General demeanour: Affable, puzzled, occasionally stoned. Right now he's really determined and paying as much attention as he knows how.
Ultimate goal: Professional: Find a job that doesn't involve being night manager at a gas station, maybe one where he could afford to marry his girlfriend.
Ultimate goal: Personal: Currently finding his brother. Long term marrying his girlfriend and being able to move into a half-decent place with her.
Plot line you would like to see if I can manage it: I know these people are to thwart, but it might be nice if he somehow ended up with something (money, job, inheritance, whatever) that allowed him to achieve his long term personal goal.
Other notes/observations (go wild!): Note that his twin brother is probably a spy.
