Exudes grace under pressure
Enjoys a good challenge
The True Detective is an inquisitive soul,
who thrives on finding answers. Patient
and analytical, the True Detective will go
to great lengths to understand the current
mystery at hand. Oftentimes this involves
dealing with the seedier side of life, which
the True Detective is seemingly fearless
against. True Detectives are quick on their
feet and whether or not they are truly prepared for the situation at hand, they will
always appear as if they are.
