Character Name: Apollo Justice
Series: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
Character Age: 22
Job: Camp Errand Boy and Part-time Attorney
Canon:
Aaah, the Ace Attorney series, where lawyer is both a noun and a verb! Apollo Justice is the titular character of this game--a new attorney picking up where Phoenix Wright left off. In the games, it's his job to prove his clients innocent, despite all the convoluted testimonies and enough incriminating evidence to screw over an elephant. Helping him along the way is the famous Phoenix Wright (now a grape-juice loving poker player), his magician assistant/sidekick, a Rock and Roll loving prosecutor, and a grumpy snack throwing detective. Oh, did I say helping? It's more like they give him vague unhelpful advice and counter every argument he has. Just another day in the life for this lawyer!
Apollo is a young rookie attorney, and boy does he love to LAWYER. Loud, enthusiastic, and ready to defend, Apollo takes his job as a defense attorney very seriously--sometimes to the point where others mock him for it. To Apollo, every aspect of his job is important, even if that includes digging through trash or presenting his sidekick's panties in court. Apollo puts on a very serious and professional face, but is actually easy to fluster, and has quite the sarcastic side. He's constantly judging the ridiculous antics of his friends and the surrounding environment. But while Apollo usually tries to be the voice of reason, he's rarely listened to or taken seriously, and can be as pun-tastic as the rest of the crew. But hey, with a name like Justice, what do you expect?
As a note, lawyers tend to emphasize certain words using orange font. Maybe it's a genetic thing.

Sorry, Miss. . .whoever you are. I assure you I don't need an escort. I'm not lost, really! If anything I'd say you were the one who needed help. Your elbow is dangling down by your knees, and the overalls aren't all that flattering, nor do they hide the missing organs on the side there. . .You say you're my Generic Genki Sidekick? Why on earth would I need one of those? Look, I'd like to stay and chat, but I really need to deliver this parcel to a Miss "Marcy". Admittedly, the directions are a bit fuzzy. It's just some sort of odd shaped blotched on top of a silo.
. . .Okay, fine. Fine! If you really know the way, then you can accompany me. Just please stop breathing so heavily on my back. It would be a little comforting not walking through the area alone. Ugh, honestly, can you believe I got roped into this so called internship? The Director said I'd earn more experience in my field of work, but I never imagined it would involve cornfields. I could have sworn the pamphlet said CFUD Law Firm not Law Farm! Jeeze, I get my fill of corn by listening to prosecutors spout lame puns all day, I don't need the real thing!
Hey, are you even listening to me? What are you examining over there anyway.......A-a dead body?! We have to call the police!! Huh?! This isn't a laughing matter. Someone in this hick town of a camp is a murderer!
--No, I don't think the scarecrow did it! It looks like the victim was trampled a bit, then had his head chewed on thoroughly, and his. . .brains removed. D-don't look at me that way, I don't think you're the culprit! Seriously, your eyeball sort of dangles out when you start crying. You were with me the entire time anyway, right? Of course, there's no alibi for your actions before we met up, but if you truly are innocent I'll defend you to death! Er, no pun intended.
. . .You say you saw a brief flash of black and white before finding me? And what looked like a pair of er, evil horns? Hmm. Looks like Miss Marcy will have to wait for her parcel. Right now we need to deliver something more important--the truth! I'm no detective, but there have to be clues pointing to the real criminal. The murderer may have escaped that scarecrow's ever watchful gaze, but they can't escape the eyes of the law forever! If we gather the right evidence we can bring this vile criminal to JUSTICE! All you have to do is testify!

No, "Praise Zombie Jesus" does not count as testimony.
This is going to be one long internship.
Voting went here. That thing was written in an hour and half with no betas. Am both proud and ashamed.
