#I mean in the base world for those AUs. Apollo and Athena are still defense attorneys

[doctorsiren]

Perhaps a Prosecutor! Phoenix, Prosecutor! Apollo, and Prosecutor! Athena (If you have a design for her)?

But if that's too much for you, perhaps just Prosecutor! Apollo?

Remember! Take breaks, drink water, and eat and sleep well!

I had such a fun time coming up with Prosecutor Athena. Her whole thing is that The Incident that occurred when she was a kid also included an explosion, which hurt her pretty badly, but Aura saved her life by turning her into a cyborg. She becomes a prosecutor so she can find the real perpetrator behind the crime, while Blackquill is a defense attorney on death row rather than a prosecutor (he’s basically just the same tho lmao)

I based her off of GLaDOS. Her face is split the way the Mood Matrix moon is split and her design incorporates portal influence as well as Aura (and her ponytail is in the shape of the ponytail for the “My Life as a Teenage Robot” Metis drawn a while back). Widget’s been turned into a core :3

[aquaticstarlight-blog]

Under the cut is a masterlist of all of Adelaide’s friendships with child OCs, both from my own creation and from others. All OCs listed that aren’t my own have interacted with Adelaide at least once. 

(Also please note that all information is from my own head. :’D If you’d like something added to the list, just let me know.) 

Violet Sprout

My own OC. The daughter of Clay’s childhood best friend, Marigold Sprout. A shy, quiet girl who knows about the grief of losing a father at a young age, these two met at a support group that dealt with expressing and dealing with their loss, and became close friends. They also go to school together~

Shares a lot of things from her mother, such as her subpar eyesight and curled hair, but also has the shy personality of her dad.

Name comes from the term, “shy violet,” which means a shy or modest person.

Unnamed Cousins

Two more of my own OCs, whom I haven’t named yet. Adelaide, luckily, isn’t totally surrounded by total jerks in her family, and have two cousins who are also misfits. The first one is a girl who’s around the same age as Adelaide, and would often hang out with her during family trips and the such, doing everyday, normal kid things. Adelaide allows her to start to internally question the family’s controlling ideology, becoming more and more open-minded.

The other one is a trans girl who can’t fully out herself, out of fear of being ridiculed or even worse. Adelaide learns her secret by total accident, but does her best to respect her secret and support her when things get rough.

Biblical names. Because of course, everyone in the Nunn family has a name relating to the bible in some way.

Also, there’s a cousin named Eve. Eve is terrible, and the eldest. Don’t trust Eve.

Edmund Koda (Inactive/Hiatus)

Child belonging to Robyn at curlsnglasses/klugekind, he’s the biological son of her Klavier (tanguitar) and Mochi’s OC named Shuuji (kodapi). An awkward, nerdy, tech-savvy goofball, his main passion in life is both being the greatest builder of robots while putting minimal effort in as possible. He’s about 8 years younger than Adelaide, and she is often his babysitter, which sometimes can produce… disastrous results. Nonetheless, he’s a good person at his core, even if he shows it in... strange ways.

Calls Adelaide by the nickname of ‘Ladle,’ and is the only person allowed to call her that. Ever.

Musical talents consist of being an expert kazoo player.

Has a bird that he loves dearly despite being loud af.

Hacker voice: “I’m in.”

Don’t mess with him. You mess with him, he’ll track you down, build an army of robots based on your worst nightmares, unleash them where it will cause the most damage and cackle menacingly while doing so.

In a constant state of weirded disgust. It’s how he gets by in the world.

Adelaide loves him dearly; he’s like a cousin to her, but actually good and not terrible like her biological ones. 

Nickname is “Ed,” but “Eddy” can and will be used for teasing purposes. 

Adrianne Wright

Child belonging to Nickey at prodigysdaughter. The biological daughter of her Phoenix (defensisms) and Athena’s Franziska (myuzux). A bouncy, excitable girl who is the older brother of Christian and 2 years older than Adelaide, she has her father’s personality and her mother’s sense of motivation, excelling at her academics and becoming a lawyer a young age, following the footsteps of her parents.

Has heterochromia, just like her father.

Bluffs like no tomorrow in court: like father, like daughter, haha~ 

Adelaide knows her as a good friend, is slightly self-conscious on the fact of how much she’s managed to do in such a short time, but still supports her, nonetheless.

Nicknames consist of “Annie” when they’re younger and “Anne” when older.

Christian Wright

Child belonging to Athena at seiiger. The biological daughter of her Franziska and Nickey’s Phoenix, and is the younger brother of Adrianne. Is the same age as Adelaide. An equally energetic but also more relaxed sibling, he has a passion for horses like no other, ultimately becoming a champion horse rider when he gets older.

Horses. Like seriously, horses. All day, everyday.

Sees him as a good friend, and a bit more approachable than Adri, given their same age and his nature. 

Nicknames are “Chris” and “Tristan.” 

Abigail Fey

Child belonging to Yazzy at ruler-of-all-burgers-maya, as part of her Widow AU. The biological daughter of her Maya and her OC named Andrew, she’s around 10 or so years younger than Adelaide. A young girl that had come to her attention after the death of her own father, Andrew, Adelaide set out for Kurain Village in the hopes of helping her understand death, despite being such a young age.

Adelaide sees her younger self in Abigail. Young, naive, and confused, all in the middle of a web of complications. She wants nothing more than to help the girl understand, and to be there like the person she needed all those years ago. 

Suskun Edgeworth (Hiatus)

Child belonging to Sena at turnabouting. The biological daughter of Mona Naye and Kat’s Edgeworth (turnaboutrp) he’s the same age as Adelaide. A curious, mute boy whom Adelaide met while she was lost at the prosecutor’s office, he quickly caught her interest with both his friendly demeanor and his way of communicating. 

Has an adorable little service dog named Bee.

Adelaide quickly starts to learn sign language on his behalf, so that they can communicate easier.

Eirene Justice

Child belonging to Kay at nomoschild. The biological daughter of her Apollo (snarkiestlawyer) and Athena’s, well, Athena! (myuzux) A mischievous girl who is somehow 3 years older than Adelaide, (Kay trying to mess with the flow of time, sheeeesh. :P) she’s energetic and cheerful, always ready to find fun, and ultimately follows the path of law with her parents, becoming a judge.

In one verse, is Adelaide’s sister. And man, is she a pain to handle, sometimes. XP But like all good siblings, mess with one, you get the wrath of the other.

Nickname is “Rina.”

aa:p4 weaponry

I was thinking about it and maybe Pearls is the weaponsdealer this time round. Ok, to expand on this - I was thinking of giving them an item that would allow them to see clearly in the shadow world. A personal object that would, through spiritual energy, allows them to see clearly through the fogs in the shadow world like teddy’s glasses do for the p4 cast. Something like that.

I mostly got the idea from when Pearl imbued the magatama with spiritual energy, which allowed him to see Psyche Locks. I was wondering how to translate Pearl’s role here, since she’s an adorable little kid and I don’t want to leave her out, and this - spiritual sight clearing device! Which helps them channel certain powers, like Apollo’s Sight, Athena’s Hearing, Phoenix’s Psyche Locks, Miles Logic Chess etc., or help summon their personas. Or both.

My original thoughts were for Pearls to transform the Weapons into the form of their Personal Object, but small innocent Pearls getting access to weapons didn’t really sit right with me, so I changed it to Sight Clearing Object. I think it works better that way tbh.

Weapon dealers could be the detectives (at least for the first part - see this cool post by onyourwings for more details! Although nothing is set in stone yet haha :’D), but idk. hmm. I was kind of hoping to see them as support charas who have to go through their time in the tv world, but I think they could be the Real World Investigation Party Supporters or something. Again, not sure.

I wonder if I could get the Judge to be the Weapon dealer… but in terms of storyline he’s like Igor so… nggh I’ll just leave the slot open for now I guess.

Below lies their personal sight-clearing items and possible weapons Possible (not sure but here just in case) Spoilers for AA1-5.

                                     DEFENCE ATTORNEYS

- Phoenix Wright -

Sight Clearing Object: Magatama | Weapon: Shield (mb with sword)

Magatama because that’s how he’s able to see all those psyche locks (like the fog!), which get him close to the truth. Plus, it is canon he gets his powers from the Magatama, leaving it out would be a gigantic travesty in my opinion haha.

Shield since I vision Phoenix as a very defence-based fighter, due to his ridiculous luck at escaping accidents. Seriously, coming out of a car crash with only a sprained ankle? A raging devil riverfall with only a cold? This guy’s stamina’s and defence is ridiculously high. Also, he just, I dunno, seems like someone who’s a really defensive fighter? Not the type to go all out attack straight off the bat, unlike some prosecutors we know. Not sure why I think that way tbh. So I gave him a shield.

But since he’s the original character, giving him a sword also works, since its unique in that he’s the only one who can switch into another stance, and gives him the chance to go more on the offensive. His defences would go down, but the boost in attack power should help cover for that. So his primary weapon is a shield, while his secondary weapon (which is admittedly not used much) is the sword. Preferably a guan dao or a sabre, since both can be used effectively in one hand and with a shield.

Darkness more than light, fire, ice, electricity, wind, the Wild card has all and protects them and humanity with his shield, sword hidden near his hip for the few cases when a defensive approach is no longer needed, when the time to attack is right.

- Apollo Justice -

Sight Clearing Object: Bracelet | Weapon: Bow

Bracelet! Because his bracelet is actually what he uses to concentrate his focusing power so eyy, too good to pass up. Also, its clearly very important to him. And aa5 proves that he’s unable to really turn it off so in this au I can just pass it off as a side effect that just revealed what was already there or something haha. So much plots I can use it for mwahahaha.

As for why the bow - Originally, it was gauntlets, but it didn’t feel right, and he has pretty much average strength. @onyourwings and @worldbeyondtheworld agreed and provided the perfect alternative - the Bow! Which fits ridiculously well considering that the God Apollo uses a bow. It’d put his sharp eyesight to good use too, and we definitely need more far-ranged members on this team. Pfft imagine him using his Chord of Steel to tell others to get out of the way while he shoots from a distance - it’d be both cute and badass!

Wind that carries his shouts to afar, that caresses his cheeks and ruffles his hair and guides his arrows directly to home, blowing back the enemies in a gale that is as determined as the hurricane of determination in his soul.

- Athena Cykes -

Sight Clearing Object: Widget | Weapon: Gauntlets

Ok, I chose Widget as the SCO because she often uses it to figure out the emotions she hears, which in turn helped her find the truth - and it’s important to her, as well, due to it being a memento from her mom. Plus, Widget is an emotional-measuring device, which can come in pretty handy to detecting emotional distress and helping people accept their shadow selves without another freakout. So Widget it is!

As for why she’s given gauntlets, well, canon states she’s got self defence training, and I still remember that scene where she body throws Apollo over her shoulder in AA5 (lol rip Apollo). She’s strong, pretty aggressive when angered and she’s also got a reaction gif of her smacking her fists together, like she’s preparing to punch someone, so. Gauntlets.

Bright, like fire and energetic, like the electricity that crackles around her body, sparking out of her fists as she slams them together in anticipation, thrumming and humming a tune so fine that only her ears can hear.

- Raymond shields -

Sight Clearing Object: Pink Notebook | Weapon: Hammer?

Ok, I know he only appears in AAI2. But he’s still kinda important (definitely more important than the Payne Brothers even though they appear nearly every game) and he’s a good guy. He’s definitely a key player, much like Sebastian and Kay. Plus, the defence team needs more people and I like him (I like all the charas in this game actually). And so here he is.

I chose the Pink Notebook as his SCO because its the only thing he had with him during the past and the present.

As for the hammer, well. We kind of needed one, and I couldn’t think of what would suit him well enough. So I just went with the hammer.

                                            PROSECUTORS

- Miles Edgeworth -

Sight Clearing Object: White King Chess Piece | Weapon: Spear

Ok, the reason for the White King Chess Piece is because of the Logic Chess Sequences. In it, Edgeworth takes the white part of the chessboard, which is why his piece is White. And the King represents absolute authority and is the most important part of the game - without him you lose - So I figured that a King Chess Piece would work due to the symbolism. As the head Prosecutor and leader of Good on the Prosecuting Side, Miles more than deserves the White King Piece.

As for a Spear, well, I admittedly got the idea from aa1 case 5, the really long one that first introduced Emma Skye. The prosecuting award had the Spear so I thought ‘eyy, why not’ and thus, Spear. Plus it also serves as a good parallel to the Shield of Phoenix Wright - unbeatable Spear vs unbreakable Shield, which is alluded to in the awards in AA1 C5. Also! I forgot to add but World came up with the idea for Spear first - didn't include that bit because I was tired and forgot, sorry!

light and dark, intertwining with each other like yin and yang, centering around his spear and placing his soul to rest, driving him towards the truth.

- Franziska Von Karma -

Sight Clearing Object: Brooch |Weapon: Whip

I had trouble thinking this one up, but while I was looking over her character pictures I noticed a similarity - that blue brooch she wears at her neck. It appears in every single one of her sprites. Not even joking - official art, AA2, AA3, even AAI2 she has that same brooch at her neck. Clearly its an important part of her daily attire, so it serves pretty well as her SCO, I think.

She uses the whip in game as a tool of subjugation, so its pretty much canon for her already. Nine-O-Cat tails is probably the ultimate whip for her to unleash her wrath on the foolishly foolish shadows, although I don’t think she’d unleash that wrath onto people while holding the Nine-O-Cat tail whip. That thing was used as a torture weapon during the middle ages - its pretty brutal. I pity anyone who earns her wrath while she’s holding her normal whip, though.

Ice, so cold that it burns deep inside her heart like true fire, causing frostbite and ice to form wherever her whip struck.

- Sebastian Debeste -

Sight Clearing Object: Baton | Weapon: Knives

Sebestian uses the Baton in his animations, which is good enough for me. It’s probably pretty important to him, and somewhat iconic for him.

As for the knife, well. Originally I thought sword, to rival Edgeworth, but we’ve already got Simon as the Swordmaster. So I tried thinking about something similar to a baton in terms of length and maneuverability, and I came upon Knives. Around the same length as the baton, and serves as a good close-range weapon- although Sebastian with a knife is.... well, he’ll have to go straight up to fight them close range. And he seems a pretty scaredy guy. I dunno. But hey - he ran straight to the dumpster to dig up evidence! And stood up to his douchebag of a dad! So kid’s got guts.

Or alternatively chakra sticks! They’re like sticks, but held in both hands and used for attacking. That could work.

Fire spreading across the blade, heating it into the bright red that comes from the forge, held out determinedly in front of him with one hand like his baton, flames flaring out like the swell of a crescendoing orchestra, like his dad’s lighter, and spreading up and around him like a protective blanket before going for the kill. Alternatively ice, frost freezing onto the sticks and burning everything cold, freezing spots into ice that shatter at the next blow he delivers.

- Klavier Gavin -

Sight Clearing Object: G-shaped necklace | Weapon: String wires

Klavier has a lot of love for music, and since he’s associated with guitar - dude even plays a riff on air guitar when its epic enough in court - it should probably be something related to music. But I also wanted it to be associated with something he wears or is able to carry around easily, like the others, and a guitar is not easy to carry around. Especially when fighting. So I grabbed a look at his appearance, thought for a bit, and chose the necklace around his neck. It’s noticeable and what he wears, and I’m fairly sure its merchandise for his band The Gavinners (nice self promotion Klavier haha), which means its related to music, and so G-shaped necklace it is! An alternative was the chain he’s wearing around the belt, but since I can’t see if its still there in AA5, eh. I’ll stick with the necklace.

As for why not the rings he wears on his fingers, well, its a part of his weapon. Since it is no longer two am in the morning (its 1am in the morning! Good enough!) I’m awake enough to come up with a different weapon for this guy that still fits what I wanted to include - usage of music and range, really. Wire strings are ranged weapons that slice through opponents or trap them, and require strategic and creative thinking - something Klavier has in spades. Ranged, because he seems non-confrontational physically, preferring to hang back and smile it away instead, which would translate into fighting as attacking from afar. They also require deft hands - again, something Klavier has due to years of experience playing guitar for his band - and strings are often used to produce music with the sound of the string’s vibrations. Related to music, requires intelligence and deft hands, ranged - Suits Klavier pretty well, I think.

Heat emininating from deep within him,umming a couple of tunes from the Guitar Serenade as he lifts his hands as if he were thanking a crowd, twitching his fingers as if they were on guitar strings, smiling beautifully as flames pour down the strings like a spiderweb on fire, charring anyone in its snares into ashes.

- Simon Blackquill -

Sight Clearing Object: Taka Feather | Weapon: Katana

FINALLY CAME UP WITH SOMETHING! Granted, it was actually really obvious once I figured it out but eh. So, Taka’s feather, because Taka is important to him.

I do know that he used the same sword to intimidate people. Which totally works, you japanephobile. I mean, he probably attacks with Taka too, but I think he loves the Hawk a little too much to let her lose on dangerous Shadows... but I could be wrong. So he attacks with both? But uses the sword most of the time because he doesn’t want to rely on Taka too much and continue to seem intimidating.

Imagine a katana, intricate designs of darkness curling delicately around the surface of the blade, shadows weaving a delicate pattern and bringing everything dark. Alternatively, imagine that same sword crackling with electricity, the energy jolting up and down the blade like a live thing desperate to be unleashed, thrumming with the desire to electrocute the shadows into oblivion.

-Sahdmhadi-

Sight Clearing Object: *shrug* | Weapon: Rosary

I’m not even sure I’ll ever include him due to how new the game is and that I haven’t even watched SoJ finished yet, but leaving him out would be pretty crappy to those who’ve watched SoJ. So. Here he is!

TBC
