apollo justice // ace attorney

[personal profile] justchords 2017-10-11 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: erin
CHARACTER: apollo justice
CANON: ace attorney

AU NAME: same as canon
AU AGE: 22, also same as canon
AU OCCUPATION: law student
BLURB:
- not long after he was born, his father (a performer) died in an accident during a show, and his mother abandoned him to the foster system for Reasons Unknown™
- apollo does not know either of their names or faces, but he's not particularly upset about it, but he does become a tad uncomfortable if someone speaks about their family for a while
- he was fortunate to grow up in a few decent foster homes, but never lucky enough to stay in one for very long as he was usually too rambunctious and loud (something he never quite grows out of, even as an adult)
- constantly screams "i'm fine" when dealing with especially difficult or stressful situations to calm himself down and handle things without losing it (a habit he picked up as a child so he wouldn't get upset about always having to move)
- was never really bullied or picked on despite his upbringing and past, had excellent grades in school, but can be rather dense in social situations and sometimes comes off as a little anti-social
- not born or raised in recolle, and after shifting homes so much in his home city, he decided to move to recolle for the law program at the university
- moves to recolle as soon as he graduates high school, can be quite resourceful and independent when he really puts his mind to it and focuses, hence how he was able to apply for college and find an apartment mainly on his own
- a kind old lady who used to live near him often sends him care packages from his home city, closest thing he has to a mother
- been living in recolle for roughly 4 years now, a little more than halfway done with the intense law program he signed himself up for (as a result, he can get very stressed)
- despite said stress, he adores law and loves talking about it, always willing to offer legal advice (even if he isn't really qualified yet), and just really wants to help people
- though he is seen as independent, he happily accepts help when offered to him, but hates being treated like a charity case, ie pitied or looked down on, and he will fight anyone who tries to do that
- due to his short time living in recolle, he still isn't too familiar with a lot of the city, so he desperately wants friends to hang out with and see the sights and really become a local of the place
- the biggest anime and video game nerd

I'M STILL WORKING ON SOME OF THE DETAILS but this is the gist of what i have so far
LOOKING FOR: ANY FORM OF A SOCIAL LIFE, friends, fellow students. he needs a job, too, so i'm interested in getting him to really branch out and try new things
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: do your worst

Canon Matt nods in approval. Recolle Matt shrugs but might make him sweat in court someday.

justchords: (CHECK IT YO THERE WAS THIS CRAZY CLOWN)

[personal profile] justchords 2017-10-12 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
oh my god the best girl... i can see apollo going to other departments and asking for their opinions on things? like "hey this practice case said so and so died from these two medicines being mixed, is that possible". things like that!

HOW ARE HINATA'S GRADES would he need a tutor bc apollo likes helping people and also needs cash money

hey so what if he friended prompto/worked at the electronics store with him?
justchords: (Default)

[personal profile] justchords 2017-10-17 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
he's already going to have a job as either a worker at a cat cafe or a hostess (i'm still deciding) so the electronics store is out. would he see apollo on campus at all?
mercurio: ❥mercurio (Default)

[personal profile] mercurio 2017-10-22 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
yeah he definitely would! prompto's on his second year and he does a lot of outside photography while in campus, and all over the city, really

always looking for the perfect photo op

I LOVE APOLLO and maybe he and Hana Jamie know each other from when Apollo was an undergrad? Jamie also just moved to Recolle for college, so he's been here about three years. Aaaaand he's also pretty stressed from studying for the MCAT + full courseload + part-time coffee shop job + being a naturally anxious person. (Also, if they hung out, Apollo would get to enjoy being a few inches taller than someone who isn't a little kid!)
justchords: (Default)

[personal profile] justchords 2017-10-22 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
i haven't actually given any thought to if he would be an undergrad, since i figured he'd just bust ass to get straight to law school as quickly as he could. maybe they could meet another way?
floret: (should i feel like one of them?)

[personal profile] floret 2017-10-23 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
IT LOOKS LIKE they might both end up working at the Tea Kittle, so... that works!
