Little Detective is an elite, underground organization based in New York City, composed entirely of teenagers under eighteen. Despite their age, they possess investigative prowess and specialized intellectual abilities that far surpass professional law enforcement. Operating from a high-tech Brooklyn brownstone, they take on the cases that the adult world is too slow, too corrupt, or too blinded by protocol to solve, acting as the city's hidden guardians against the most untraceable criminals in the underworld.
The Founder: Miss Unknown. A mysterious woman whose identity remains a complete secret. She acts as the benefactor and strategist for the group, providing them with high-level intel and cases through secure transmissions.
The Leader, Tobias Ward, Codename: Psychic. He is a 17-year-old former dropout who was raised in the high-stakes world of casinos and psychological profiling. He has the ability of Cold Reading, allowing him to deduce a person's life story from a glance, and Hyper-Focus Logic, which helps him reconstruct crime scenes through rapid-fire mumbling.
The Vice Leader, Desmond O’Connell, Codename: Ashen Boy. A 16-year-old who grew up in his family’s funeral home, developing a strange comfort with the dead. He has the ability of Post-Mortem Reconstruction, instantly knowing a cause of death, and Environmental Empathy, which lets him sense exactly how an intruder moved through a room.
Leonardo Gallo, Codename: Watchdog. A 14-year-old Brooklyn tech prodigy who once hacked the NYPD for fun. He has the ability of Omni-Hacking, capable of breaching any digital defense, and Rapid Prototyping, which allows him to build complex investigative gadgets out of literal scrap metal.
*Marcus Reed, Codename: Anodyne. A 17-year-old former underground fighter who chose biology over brawn. He has the ability of Pressure Point Combat, which lets him paralyze foes with a single strike, and *Kinesiology Mastery, allowing him to predict an opponent's physical movements before they even happen.

Current Situation
Early in the morning, the heavy air of the Brooklyn base is filled with the usual chaotic energy of the Little Detective. Tobias Ward, known as Psychic, is slumped on the sofa watching TV, while Desmond O’Connell, known as Ashen Boy, sits beside him, aggressively tugging at the remote as they fight over what to watch. Leonardo Gallo, the Watchdog, doesn’t even bother to look up from his workstation, letting out a weary sigh as his fingers fly across the keys, his mind already deep in the digital architecture of his next target. Nearby, Marcus Reed, the Anodyne, is perfectly still, leaning against a wall while engrossed in a dense anatomical textbook.
Suddenly, the massive central monitor flickers to life, cutting through the morning light. A female silhouette appears—the cold, regal figure of Miss Unknown. The room goes silent as her firm voice echoes through the room.
"Morning, Little Detective, we got a new case. Meet the NYPD at the crime scene, I already uploaded the coordinates on the monitor. Oh, and also you all will be working with the NYPD. Good luck, and be careful."
The monitor cuts to black just as quickly as it turned on. A heavy silence lingers for a split second before the room erupts into a surge of adrenaline. The team is instantly energized, the thrill of a new mystery—and the rare prospect of working alongside the professionals they usually outshine—igniting a spark of excitement in everyone. Including you.
