your honor who gives a fuck. like for real

a few more spicy headcanons because phoenix is in some kind of mood rn.

hard versatile in both dominance/submission and topping/bottoming. phoenix may be a bit of a loser and a nerd but he can very much be assertive and dominant in bed or submissive and pillow princess-y, it really depends on his partners needs or the tone of the scene. if he's dating someone who never bottoms, he's happy if they're happy. if he's dating someone who never tops, he still wants and enjoys penetration, so will sometimes use double-ended toys instead of just fucking them. he truly is the every-man, the dom top, the soft dom, the pillow princess (especially with women, there is no dominant bone in his body with women), the power bottom. he'll make stupid wise cracks about how a defense lawyer must be prepared for anything if asked about it.

has a nice pair of boxer shorts with a o-ring that allows him to top comfortably and trade out toys to fuck his partner with. not a huge fan of the harnesses with actual straps. with someone with a coochie since it's pretty impossible to do with an anus, he will fuck them with just his t-dick if they want him to. (probably did this with dollie, i feel, if she wasn't pegging him lmao).

gets a little lost in the sauce. always listens to what his partner says, of course, but when phoenix is really blissed out he tends to tune out. may need a gentle pull or physical movement to rearrange him how you'd like since he won't always hear first time. is never doing this because he doesnt care about his partner or anything like that, he's just... excitable and doesn't have a lot of sex LOL.

low to average sex drive with most people.

gets a little handsy, likes to explore foreplay and intimacy, doesn't enjoy quickies. sex without foreplay is boring to phoenix most of the time.

WHINY. oh my GOD, does he whine. squirms, whines, little kitten cries. sensitive, too. thighs clench and belly jumps just from a finger lightly passing over the hood of his t-dick or the slit of his opening.

VERY reactive to anal. needs a lot of preparation because he's very tight and not used to it, tears up even sometimes from prep because he instinctively clenches up, but a toy or a finger in him makes him crazy.

the kind of guy who will get stupid wet and hard JUST from kissing.

strikes me like he would really enjoy being the recipient of bondage, being tied to a chair or bed, rope and shibari, etc.

has become very confident as he ages. was much less confident and a lot more nervous as a young'n, especially in his university years. was also just super busy as an ivy league student so relatively inexperienced.

not extremely sexually adventurous.

would like his bottom, when he tops, to be verbal about what they want to the point of begging or getting close to begging. gets very smug about it if its someone like miles. (and has enough restraint and temperance that if miles tried to punish him by calling it off, he'd just shrug his shoulders and oblige).

wanted to doodle the body diff between defense era phoenix and beanix era but was too lazy to draw his face, so. nonsexual nudes or i'd just post.

beanix / defense.

oh, i just remembered something i completely forgot to mention at all in like any posts. phoenix is definitely on the autism spectrum. went undiagnosed his entire life, everyone around him growing up just thought he was ~quirky~ since he did a very good job at masking his most "undesirable" traits.

Fuck it. Daryl's shift is almost over, the guy's been sniffling since he walked in, and really he's just... kind of sad to look at, heart on a pink sweater and all. There's no way he can just take his money.

"Look..." He rubs the side of his neck. This is that art student who used to go here all the time with his girlfriend, and Daryl suspects there's a reason she isn't around this time.

"I'll give you the cup noodles on the house or whatever. You should go home, man."

Yeah. That's fine.

to put it plainly, phoenix is little more than an array of frazzled nerves and confetti-cut pieces of his own wounded heart. or at least, thats how he'll unthinkingly dramatize this pain and the sinking realization that dollie never loved him for the next few months while he wrests with the aftermath of the doug swallow murder and trial.

if nothing else, the trial--specifically, mia's refusal to accept anything short of god's honest truth--has struck inspiration in feenie that the pursuit of art has failed in doing this last trimester. his dubious study of law was cementing into a path he was certain he wanted to pursue.

still.. it doesn't mean he can't be sad about things. or mopey, in fact. compounded by his ongoing head-cold, phoenix looks miserable; his eyes are as wet as the sore ring of his over-rubbed nostrils, his mouth set into an uneven line just above the fold of his face mask dragged down to his chin.

the way he looks at daryl is virtually cartoonish, big, grey eyes agitated in equal measures by unshed tears and inflammation, his wallet (that he'd failed three times at fishing out of his pocket by now) held between clammy fingers, the sleeves of his sweater stopping around the brunt of his palm. ' oh.. n-no, it's-- ' how does he say he has a meal plan that he hasn't been using for the last week-and-a-half because he's been in the hospital after being accused of murder because he ate a glass vial that at some point carried lethal liquid poison, and that he can afford the expense? it all sounded terribly unwell. ' i don't.. my room mates are all out. and.. i-i wanna eat here! ... even without dollie. '

"don't get many visitors here, do you?" (from conan!)

one might assume after the tribulations of innumerable legal fiascos that wright has become dull to anything inordinate, that the exotic is the mundane, that the extraordinary has simply become ordinary, but this assumption would land on the hemisphere of incorrect. something always manages to perplex or shock him, virtually every round of court procedures he'd inundated in, even if he's braced for it a la epoxy affixion. he's certainly tenured, but...

the voice comes from beyond his desk, manned without enthusiasm. when maya wasn't with him, not only was phoenix loaded with excess deskwork, but, plainly, he was bored. excessively so, and if he dared to admit it, that boredom mutated quite rapidly in loneliness only a confinement to involuntary solitary could provide. lifting his head, wright narrows his gaze, the edges of lethargy clinging to his vision breaking. focal point, the face of .. a child? a bespectacled one at that, a boy who looked like he'd walked right out of a uniformed private school, both hands balled at the small of his waist, unaccompanied by an adult or guardian.

phoenix startles, sending a loose paper or two scattering to the floor. he battles his instinct to get to his feet, taking a moment to assess beyond the boy, seeking another presence at the foyer of wright & co. law offices.

' wha -- i get plenty of visitors -- ' wright tries to remember temperance, and to bite back any childlike intolerances. it wouldn't do good to be acting like a kid himself, would it? returning his attention directly to the boy, phoenix straightens up and posits, ' um, hi--where are your parents? '

misc hcs.

phoenix is, in general, most open and vulnerable when it comes to the safety of maya and her family--but especially and particularly maya herself (he would put the other feys in the line of fire if he had absolutely no other possible choice, and would openly line his crosshairs on anyone who intentionally antagonized or threatened maya, such as morgan). the only people who matter as much to phoenix would be mia and miles, and mia is dead, and his relationship with miles is very different. in the end, he will choose maya and her happiness and safety over anyone else, up until he bonds with trucy, more or less.

that same level of care and protectee role migrates from maya to trucy, especially once phoenix determines maya is both old enough, tenured enough, and independent enough to survive in the world without his help or any amount of his guidance. he has always had confidence in maya and her ability, but rightly understands she was relatively young when she ended up crossing paths into his life, and may not have felt comfortable or confident in the idea of being pushed out of the proverbial nest that he (and mia, despite her death) could provide. maya is more like phoenix's little sister than his daughter, but at times e did feel the same kind of pressure in ensuring her safety and the path of wellness she took as he does when raising trucy.

adores trucy. is not over protective of her, though, and respects her and her growing boundaries and desires as she gets older. since he knows trucy can handle herself for the most part, his amount of worry is proportional only to what a child (or late teen as she ages) needs; he would only become aggressive or frantic in cases of emergency, in which case, his kid > all else. trucy really helps put a lot of meaning back into phoenix's life and helps keep him stable through what is probably the worst part of it. (above everything but trucy and maya and miles, his career is the most important thing to him. he finds not just enjoyment but life purpose in serving as a defense attorney, and feels genuinely pained and empty when he isn't in practice.)

although phoenix banks off his ability of insight and perception more so than he does his ability to construct coherent arguments or bluff, he is an incredible liar when it really matters and he's applying himself. even without trucy's help and ability to read body language, he definitely would have won more poker games than he lost through reading tells and successfully lying his way to victory. when put on the spot, especially over menial things, phoenix struggles to construct believable lies. he doesn't enjoy lying, which some might consider a betrayal of his occupation.

he does, secretly, enjoy the steel samurai / samurai-related franchise. he allows himself to invest more in it once he realizes miles', and maya's, genuine interest in the series.

he is... uhhh... in a healthy manner, a bit of a simp when it comes to romantic interest/loved ones. not in a weird or obsessive way, but in a strongly affirmed, adoring, excitable way, he does always intensely like whomever he likes or is dating.

drinks grape juice in lieu of drinking wine. it's probably better for him and keeps him out of trouble, and has gotten to a point where phoenix genuinely truly enjoys fruit juices, but especially and specifically grape juice. its kind of just.. a taste he has genuinely and unintentionally acquired. huge fan of those sparkling welches grape juices. likes apple juice just as much, and is known to frequent a hard apple cider here and there.

has tried smoking cigarettes, cigars, and marijuana, all out of curiosity. didn't really enjoy any of it, is most likely to try weed again out of all three. wouldn't regardless though, phoenix likes being sober best (i know, he's a little bit of a freak in that way), and wouldn't want intoxication of any sort to qualify him for disbarment. rarely even drinks alcohol because of this.

due to physical trauma--since im not a huge fan of aa inflicting major wounding events on it's characters and then brushing them off like dolls--phoenix suffers from a mild tbi and has to walk with a cane when his pain is bad enough to limit his mobility. has some hypertrophic scalding scars on his outside jaw from hot coffee being thrown in his face.

"Hey, you're that guy, aren't you?" frommm yagami hehe

oh, god.

it is a harrowing feeling, public recognition--no matter his accruing fame and infamy, phoenix isn't sure he'll ever acclimate to it. his interim in tokyo is on holiday, and though he would've preferred steering trucy away from a seedy underbelly like the kamuro district, as it turns out, it's the only part of the city with any open hotel rooms.

the lance of yagami's gaze is noted subtly, though phoenix elects to ignore it, all the way up until verbal attention becomes a focal laser. the hair on the back of his neck stands, and his teeth press into a subtle bar, clenching behind his lips. it would've been one thing to be recognized whilst practicing, as strange and out of place as it would have felt in japan, but it is another entirely to be recognized in disbarment.

what reason did this leather-coated stranger have to follow american news, especially a bump-in-an-article like him? phoenix turns from where he's rooted himself, just outside the storefront of a poppo's neon sign fixture, momentarily taking his eye off his daughter as she uses his converted money to buy and warm a bento. the man whose called after him looks tired around the eyes, but lively in only the way a criminal detective could be, the same sharp focus he recognized in miles' stare when he was picking apart a poorly constructed defense.

' i.. uh.. i am? ' for all he knew, the man has him mistaken with someone else. his tepid defense rooted in confusion is viable; the incertitude is honest, at least. ' i'm just vacationing with my daughter. she does magic acts? ... maybe.. you know her? '

[natorika]

i think my favorite thing about phoenix aside from his unwavering code and sense of loyalty to the case is how quickly and easily he adapts to abnormalities. yeah he'll think to himself "what the fuck is going on" but he rolls with the punches. he will interrogate that cat. he will cross examine a parrot. who gives a shit

[natorika]

verse outlines (expanded on later)

canon: follows general canon from a1 to last canon appearance. the only notable retcons to canon i make are that phoenix is not an indestructible machine of a man who can survive things like being hit by cars and eating glass without suffering some amounts of lingering physical trauma; walks with assistance of cane when pain is flaring after vehicle accident. most threads will be placed here with nebulous space to allow for universe merges unless requested otherwise.

mvc: i mean. mvc is pretty self explanatory. this is another easy way to write w marvel chars if preferred.

alternate universes:

marvel: phoenix is a mutant criminal defense lawyer who frequently fights on behalf of and for mutant civil and humanitarian rights. his status as a mutant is largely unknown to others as he keeps it to himself. works frequently with matt murdock and jennifer walters, however; mutant cases tend to be redirected from them to phoenix as he has a positive reputation for pulling mutants out of the muck almost every time. his current standing record is 22 wins, 2 dismissals/"ties", 2 losses. his mutant abilities include foresight, inhuman empathy, and lie detection. he also has physical mutations--there is a band of red feathers running up his back and spine that fan out broadly over his shoulders and run down his hand, where his fingers tighten like talons. he keeps his nails trimmed short and generally wears gloves to conceal. unbeknownst to him, he is a viable host for the phoenix cosmic force, as in it would operate relatively smoothly in him and wouldnt blow him up or make him crazy. however, as phoenix is not a fighter in the slightest, it makes no difference and he is completely unaware of this fact.

resident evil: renowned criminal defense lawyer who frequently bails out individuals framed by umbrella, though has been known to defend individuals scapegoated by "good" militia outlets like the bsaa and terrasave.

dnd / bg3: half high elf half human, probably a bard or bard-rogue dual spec, i havent decided yet, famed magistrate who primarily operates on the west coast of faerun, probably does work in candlekeep, baldurs gate, and elturel. formerly employed under mia fey whom is murdered early into his career, but regularly speaks through her siblings via necromantic and spiritual magic. (maya is probably like.. an elven necromancer). generally known as phoenix in this universe, though does possess the surname of wright through his human father. originally born in kara-tur. has an office in baldurs gate called the "wright anything agency", handles both private detective work and criminal defense.

[natorika]

' mister howlett -- '

though far from the first mutant to be administered the grace of phoenix's exemplary defense skills, wright quickly gleans he's the last that irritating will earn resolution from. his temper is as testy as his stature is dense and short, and though phoenix is not defenseless, he's frankly disinterested in testing the limitations of his patience. for now, a light hand and careful navigation of his repertoire would have to suffice; his foot would only come down if logan demanded it of him as the result of his own cooperation, or lack thereof.

phoenix's hand grazes the sheaf of evidence, paperwork and photos and lab results. though he cannot scent aroma on the air the way the wolverine can, he can innately feel the presence of half-truths, an empathetic draw that went beyond the tenure of an attorney.

his power of insight told him logan wasn't being wholeheartedly honest with him. that impeded his ability to defend.

' i need you to be upfront with me, sir. ' he meets howlett's gaze, seemingly undaunted by the animal glare he held just behind his sturdy look. ' i'm your lawyer, not your enemy. i want to prove your innocence.. but i can't do that if you aren't working with me. i'm not gonna sit here and feed you legal jargon or sugar-coated half truths. it's a very real possibility that this crime sticks if we can't walk through it together. right? your DNA was at the scene. so lets start over. i believe you when you say you weren't at the crime scene at the time of the murder. but i don't believe you when you say you don't know the victim. why lie? '
