Inspiration Meme: Billie

Description

"Inspiration Meme" for Billie "Cheese" Chisholm:

1. Commander Samuel Vimes from Terry Pratchett's Discworld. Basically the most awesome Lawful Good anything, ever. Billie's alignment owes a lot to Vimes's street smarts, tenacity, inventive and unashamed knowledge of nastiness, and the simultaneous knowledge that there's a line. You can't be a good guy and do bad guy things.
2. Captain Atom of Justice League Unlimited. He's stiff, unlikeable, and overly procedural, but he believes that you do the job you signed on for. Even if that means you have to basically jump into a nuclear reactor, or get into a fight with Superman; you can't conceive of doing it any other way.
3. Agent Smecker, from Boondock Saints. She's very sharp, and knows how to tease out the details of a crime scene, but she's also never seen any ███ing thing like this in her ███ing LIFE! WHO ARE THESE GUYS?
4. John Hartigan, from Sin City. Mr. Straight and Narrow. Mr. By-the-Book. Billie's uncompromising devotion to serving and protecting takes a lot from Hartigan's behavior.
5. Walter Skinner, from The X-Files. In stories populated with supernatural occurrences, Skinner and Billie are both prickly, suspicious, skeptics. But if you can back it up? Skinner will back you up. So would Billie.
6. Lieutenant Worf, from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I admit that most of the fun in writing Billie comes from how incredibly unfunny she is. :XD:
7. Basically all of the movie Hot Fuzz, but mostly Nicholas Angel. He's the pokerfaced smart cop du jour. But really all of this movie, right down to the stereotypical gallows humor, the action paperwork, and - finally - the ridiculously awesome Crowning Battle of Badass breathed easily-excitable new life into the entire genre for me.
8. General Leo, from Final Fantasy VI. The system is broken, but it's the only one we've got. So you work tirelessly from the inside, and you strive to protect what matters. And everyone matters.
9. Batman and Commissioner Gordon, from Batman: The Animated Series, as well as Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and Arkham Asylum. Billie is an imperfect marriage of these two concepts. The fact that she's a bloodhound once she gets her teeth in a case, tends to punch suspects in the face, and is generally not considered a wise choice for political matters, gives her shades of Batman, but at the end of the day, she's a cop. She'll be gruff and cranky if you keep superpowering away and making her squad look like morons, but if she knows there's a greater threat to innocent lives than you, she'll live and let live.
10. Taurus Raging Bull revolver. Possibly the closest real-life equivalent to Billie's entirely imaginary Colt Manhunter. Look at how huge this thing is.

(Billie, are all of your influences basically cops? You are grounded for cannibalism.)
