Scotland Domino (Scotty) |
|
Character’s Name: Dinah Verity Story: Turnabout Pawns Age: 24 Occupation: Defense lawyer Brief Physical Description: Has long red hair. Wears dangling crystal earrings that flash rainbows when she pwns the opposition and a crystal pendant shaped like a shield. Twiddles her earrings when nervous or thinking hard. Wears something simple and suit-like, but elegant and pretty regardless. Always on her feet are her signature low-heeled boots. She never enters court without twenty bazillion differently-colored folders filled with laws, case facts, and legal terms on her desk, which all fly into the air like Angel Starr’s lunches whenever she hits her desk to prove a point. When she gets well and truly served, she accidentally kicks her desk, sending her folders and papers flying everywhere - she inevitably spends the next statement cleaning them up while blushing furiously. Brief Personality Description: Pretty, feminine, skillful, capable, unsure of herself, neurotic, obsessive, always nervous, gullible, good at picking up patterns, hates liars above everything else, crystalline, prismatic, purity, truth, reality, growth Direct Connections to Canon Characters: Marvin Grossberg: Dinah is employed by the Grossberg Criminal Defense Firm, and is friendly with her venerable and colossal employer. The Judge: Yes. Yes indeed. Our good ol’ judge is still judging cases with amazing, unflappable aplomb. Winston Payne: To the surprise of none, Winston Payne makes it his duty to be Dinah’s opponent in her very first trial. Jake Marshall: Reinstated as an officer and investigator after Damon Gant was removed from office, Jake Marshall serves as primary detective in many of Dinah’s cases. The Cadaverinis: Dinah’s second case involves the Cadaverini mafia. The Kitakis: Dinah’s second case involves the Kitaki family. Angel Starr: Dinah’s third case involves the detective-turned-lunch-lady, Miss Angel Starr. Morgan Fey: Dinah’s fourth case involves the enigmatic Morgan Fey. Dahlia Hawthorne: Hmm...that would be telling, wouldn’t it? Brief Background: Dinah Verity was raised by her mother, Jocelyn Verity, who turned from defense lawyer to prosecutor in order to put her husband’s murderer behind bars. In Dinah’s eyes, Jocelyn was selling her soul to exact a revenge that would solve nothing; Dinah was only eight when her father was killed, and still does not quite understand the horrible pain that Jocelyn endures because of his death. Instead, Dinah hates Jocelyn for accusing and harming instead of defending the innocent, and has become a defense lawyer specifically to combat her mother’s actions. |

Character's Name: Jaime Law／シ意図アしか輪
(Shiito Ashikawa) (JP) Story: Jaime Law: Turnabout to Tragedy By Robin Goodfellow First Place! Age: 25 Occupation: Prosecution Attorney Brief Physical Description: Short dark brown hair and brown eyes. Usually wears a casual pinstriped black suit with the jacket and shirt collar open, no tie. To his extreme annoyance he's only 5'3 (5'5 in shoes) and loathes it when people bring up it up. Later is forced to start carrying around a cane. Brief Personality Description: A cynical man who is surprisingly childish at times (like over his infamous love for chocolate). He's the type to want to see how events play out once set up. Though he rarely obsesses over something when he does, he focuses on little else. Connection to canon characters (if applicable): No direct connections pre-Turnabout to Tragedy. Brief Background: Jaime became a prosecutor not because he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps or because he felt a burning desire to pursue the truth or to punish as many scum bags as he could but because it just felt natural. He's been criticized for having such a flimsy reason for prosecuting but he simply replies that his reasons aren't related to how well he can actually work. Though he has only been practicing for slightly less than two years the city of Chicago’s constant corruption has made this young prosecutor jaded. Other/Misc.: -Owns (possibly the other way around) a cat named Beatrice. She was supposed to be a gift from his dad to his mom for an anniversary present but the cat adopted him and refused to leave him, even after he moved out. -His notepad seems to be coded for infinite pages. He's had it since college and always skirts around who gave it to him. -When he's not dealing with a case his hobbies include watching horror/gore movies, his current favorite being Saw VIII. |

Character's Name: Luc d’Artagnan Story: The Chance Encounter Age: 21 Occupation: Prosecutor Brief Physical Description: Eye Color: Unknown (hidden behind green contacts) Hair Color: Dark blue Height: 5’11” Weight: 140 lbs Standard Attire: gray flat cap, cream polo shirt, gray tie, dark brown leather vest, khaki pants Brief Personality Description: Luc, gifted with an intelligence surpassed by only a handful of people in the world, is a person who desires achievement above all else. He is extremely rational, and believes that logic can answer everything. He has a habit of pointing out errors in seemingly logical statements. He is also a bibliophile; thus, he never goes anywhere without a novel in hand. He comes off as extremely arrogant to most people, primarily because of his brutal tactlessness and sense of pride characteristic of an intellectual – he doesn’t make any effort to hide his egotism. Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Apollo Justice (former lowerclassman), Franziska von Karma (friend) Brief Background: Hailing from Switzerland, Luc is a prodigy with an IQ of 180, and was born into one of the most affluent families in the country. Although he is of Swiss descent, he was educated in some of the finest boarding schools in France and England. His initial indecision about his career led him to pursue psychology in university while taking law courses on the side. He rapidly ascended the academic hierarchy, graduating with two degrees in only three years. In his third year, he spent six months in a university in the United States, where he met then-student Apollo Justice. Afterwards, he got his Ph.D. from a university in France. He currently has an unbroken winning streak in the European court system. |

Character's Name: Rem Kome Story: Murder To A Tea Age: 26 Occupation: Forensic scientist Brief Physical Description: She has bright red hair, and purplish-blue eyes. She'll usually wear a black suit with some kind of purple shirt underneath, as purple is her favorite color. Brief Personality Description: Rem is very strong-minded.

She's intelligent and sarcastic, and often doesn't bother holding back her snide remarks. She's practically married to her job, and has definitely maxed out her overtime. Connection to canon characters (if applicable): None, really. Forensic scienist is her sole connection. Brief Background: Her history isn't really that important, so it's semi-non-existant. Her full name is actually Dream, but she despises it with a passion and always goes by her nickname, Rem. She was named Dream due to having odd, hippie parents (or, at least, that seems to be the most plausible explanation). |

Her mother Emma was on a family trip to visit a relative who had just made it big in the movie business when she had an affair with an actor from Spain. Not wanting to ruin her engagement to the son of another ousted aristoractic family, she gave Haydee to her father, Ivan, to raise. People in her family are traditionally named after literary characters, and she continued this tradition with her own children Sophia (Gnostic angel), Prudence (Lennon is poetry to her, and thus literature) and Edmond (Count of Monte Cristo).
