Canon Character and Series: Phoenix Wright, of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
In-Game Name: Phoenix Wright
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Position & Ship (first and second choice for position please): Passenger, Victoria II
Appearance: Phoenix is tall, broad-shouldered, and a bit square-jawed. However, his dark blue eyes are open and honest, and his black hair is swept back from his face, forming characteristic spikes behind his head that some tease him for. He usually wears a sharp blue suit, white shirt, and red tie. Looking professional never hurt anyone. Phoenix also carries a briefcase with a spare notepad, camera, and journal in it. He keeps a pen and notepad in his pocket.
Personality: Phoenix is a very laid-back kind of guy, content to let the people around him shape events. This leads to him becoming involved in messy (and often expensive) situations he'd rather avoid. He gripes about this when he's roped into footing the bill - again. However, he doesn't hold any real grudges over these incidents. Phoenix values his friends despite the trouble they put him through, and would do almost anything for them. He is very loyal to those he cares about and believes in them. He never forgets a favor done for him, especially one incident in particular in his past. Because of this incident, Phoenix knows what it's like to feel like the whole world is against you with no one on your side, and will defend those with no one else. When Phoenix is hot on a crime story, he almost seems like a completely different person. He puts everything into his investigations. While he can be sarcastic, even cynical at times, Phoenix he does believe that the truth is out there, and that he'll find it. He will go to almost any lengths to expose the truth; in fact, he gets carried away sometimes, and common sense is thrown out the window. He's been known to do rash things if he's on a roll or feels that something must be done now. He thinks very well on his feet, and is able to change tactics at a moment's notice. Phoenix will also do or say some pretty silly things if he's excited, which happens easily.
Abilities/Weapons: The truth and a pen. Haven't you ever heard that it's mightier than the sword? But only when used metaphorically, to, say, completely destroy a corrupt company's pristine image, or report the true murderer and save the innocent being framed. He prefers these weapons to guns, despite being a very good shot, thanks to Colvus's monster problems. He carries a small, hidden pistol for self-defense. After all, with the kinds of enemies Mia made, he can't be too careful... Phoenix is also a skilled pilot, with a few years' practice on Mia's ship under his belt. He still has a way to go, but he's got talent and is willing to work hard. All he needs is more experience.Phoenix has a talent for sniffing out lies and inconsistencies. His instincts are top-notch, and when he's got a gut feeling someone is lying about a key point, he'll talk the truth out of them. It's nothing supernatural, just excellent instincts when it comes to people.
Weaknesses: The most relevant weakness in this universe is that Phoenix doesn't like heights. It's not a phobia; he just doesn't do well when he's high-up on something unstable. He's all right with airships, as long as there's a solid deck under his feet and he doesn't look over the side. He'd throw up within minutes if taken on a smaller plane. Another thing that helps with this is if he's the helmsman. It's comforting to know that he could land the ship at any moment if he needed to. As mentioned above, Phoenix is a very quick thinker, and very agile in a battle of wits. However, this comes at the cost of planning. He's not very good at thinking ahead, and will often say something very smart...that lands him right in a trap. If he's working on something and is on a roll, or if someone's in trouble, or if he simply thinks he HAS to act, NOW, danger sometimes simply doesn't register, and he will do something crazy or stupid, like, oh, say, confront a mob boss unarmed or run over a burning bridge. On the other end of the spectrum, he gets roped into more trivial things very easily thanks to his tendency to go with the flow. He's not great in a fistfight, preferring to solve things without violence. Phoenix has never actually killed anyone, and does not intend to do so. History: Phoenix was born in Colvus, and had a fairly happy childhood, keeping his nose clean and out of the city's dirty deeds. Granted, he had a budding appreciation for art, which was rather inconvenient for a boy living in a farming city, but that wasn't much of a problem compared to the steady stream of monsters. Phoenix spent his young days helping his parents out, doodling things in the corner of his papers, and sniping at monsters going for the crops. When a young boy named Miles Edgeworth transferred into his class in fourth grade, Phoenix was accused of stealing his lunch money. It was a traumatic experience for a nine-year-old boy, but Edgeworth himself stuck up for him, telling the class that, since there was no proof, Phoenix should not be blamed for it. (A boy named Larry also spoke up for him, and after that, the three of them were fast friends.) It was the sort of thing a captain should do, Edgeworth told him; a good captain doesn't tolerate injustice on his ship. Phoenix was taken with Edgeworth's dream of becoming a pirate captain, although he didn't feel cut out for it himself. However, Edgeworth's dream of flight did rub off on Phoenix (despite his fear of heights!), and Phoenix made a promise: when Edgeworth had a pirate ship of his own, Phoenix would be his helmsman, and would be the best pilot in all of Reial. Ever since then, Phoenix has worked hard to become a skilled pilot, even after Edgeworth suddenly left. Phoenix never forgot that promise, or what Edgeworth and Larry had done for him. He became determined to get on an airship and find Miles Edgeworth.

Years later, when he was about nineteen, Phoenix got in trouble with some of Colvus's less law-abiding citizens. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and was set up to take the fall for a murder. Just when things were looking hopeless, an airship captain and investigative reporter named Mia Fey arrived on the scene, believing the murderer to be connected to her past. She exposed the real killer to the public, and Phoenix was acquitted of all charges. Owing Mia his life and seeing an opportunity to get onto an airship, Phoenix begged - I mean, convinced her to let him fly with her, promising to make himself useful. During his time under her wing, Phoenix gained practical piloting experience, along with investigation skills. Mia had a cause, you see - she was hell-bent on exposing the corruption in the Ivonan government. Through her information sources, Phoenix learned of Miles Edgeworth's current wherabouts...in the Ivonan military. Phoenix doesn't know what could have happened, but has promised himself that he will meet Edgeworth again, and get to the bottom of things. However, a few weeks before the current time in the game, Mia was killed by government-hired assassins for sticking her nose in the wrong place. Phoenix is out to discover who was behind the killing and expose them for the murderers they are. To that end, he has boarded the largest military ship Ivona has, and will keep and his eyes and ears open and his head down. Not to mention rumor had it that Miles Edgeworth was on this ship....
