[character]: Richard Castle
[character history / background]:
Castle had fairly unconventional (or perhaps conventional depending on how you look at it) upbringing. His mother was/is an actress and he was raised by a nanny that he leads everyone to believe was less actual nanny, more alcoholic. His mother, Martha Rodgers currently lives with him and his daughter, Alexis whom he has sole custody of. He has two ex-wives, one being Alexis’ mother. He claims to have been kicked out of all of New York’s finer academic institutions at least once and says he picked up speed reading while spending time at the New York City Public Library.
Richard Castle is a New York Times Best Selling author. He’s written 26 mystery novels including a series with Derrick Storm. Just prior to meeting Detective Beckett, Castle is experiencing a bit of a writing drought. However, from the moment he meets Kate Beckett, he knows he has found his muse. Using her as his inspiration, Castle plans an entire series of novels revolving around a character named Nikki Heat. The first novel, Heat Wave, tops out at #6 on the New York Times Best Seller List. The novel stars a character named Jameson Rook who is patterned after Castle himself and the relationship between Nikki and Jameson often mirrors Castle and Beckett’s.
Castle uses his relationship with the mayor to secure a place on the NYPD as a consultant. This allows him to do research for his series. Often, he is actually quite useful to Beckett as he has a seemingly unlimited knowledge of obscure things such as the premiere ‘Fangmaster’ in New York City. He’s also able to occasionally get information from people that they otherwise wouldn’t give by using his fame and his career.
[character abilities]: Tells a great story? Terribly verbose? None really. He’s not even good in a fight.
[character personality]: Castle is fairly childlike. Sometimes he seems stuck at 12 years old. He often ends up being mothered by both his mother and his daughter. He enjoys his fame and has a great sense of humor. He can be arrogant but mostly in a humorous sense rather than in a serious sense. He’s extremely imaginative, often bored with reality and he likes to exaggerate. He’s got a good heart and a knight in shining armor complex a mile wide. He’s a sucker for a damsel in distress, wanting nothing more than to sweep them off their feet to safety. He’s respectful though and while he can make sexist jokes, he’s really not at all. He has no problems being saved by a girl (Beckett—and in fact he’d probably tell her it was hot) and he’s well aware that she’s the most capable at defending herself/him between the two of them. He is quick on his feet, clever and witty. He comes through in a bind because he’s imaginative and quick. He’s very observant and often picks up details that others miss. By his own admission, he’s a wise ass and can even be a jack ass on occasion.
