general notes.
Sep. 9th, 2012 09:25 am1) Ace Attorney: Investigations gives Edgeworth an internal monologue, much like Phoenix and Apollo in the previous games. I will use it here and there and it usually looks (something like this!). This isn't something I will use frequently, but just as a general heads up!
2) I've played Edgeworth in camp twice before. He will remember as much as I can remember about those periods! I am pretty sure most of his CR from then is gone, but please feel free to jog my memory on things.

Sep. 8th, 2012 09:13 pmCharacter Name: Miles Edgeworth
Series: Ace Attorney (series)
Age: 26
Job: Common Sense Guru
Canon: The Ace Attorney series of games focus on both prosecutors and defenders as they try to uncover the truth behind various nefarious (not to mention utterly bizarre) crimes. While the defense attorneys, such as Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice, are depicted as valiant underdogs who fight tooth and nail for their client's innocence, the prosecutors can be more ... eccentric. It goes without saying that in the world of Ace Attorney, everyone’s tolerance for the ridiculous has been cranked up several notches. Regardless, the one goal that both sides have (for the most part) is to uncover the truth behind what really happened in each case.
And no one is more motivated to find the truth than prosecutor Miles Edgeworth. Formerly a ruthless prosecutor who was hellbent on finding the defendant guilty no matter what, Edgeworth has grown over the years to become a man dedicated to uncovering the truth, even if it means that he, as the prosecutor, is wrong in a manner of speaking. In his game, he uses logic and deductive reasoning to solve cases. Yes, this is a Special Skill in Ace Attorney-land. While he can seem cold and calculating and his interpersonal relationship skills can be incredibly lacking, Edgeworth does have a heart beneath his constant professionalism and reticence as well as a dry sense of humor. However, despite the fact that Edgeworth may possibly be the least bizarre of the prosecutors, it isn't beneath him to throw a minor fit when, say, his precious tea set is tarnished. That's just how he rolls.
Note: Ace Attorney games have a tradition of highlighting words when an important piece of evidence or concept is mentioned.
Sample Post:
While I am, unfortunately, all too aware of the fact that many seem to suffer from a complete and utter lack of common sense, I must admit that this particular "task" surprises even me. Rather, the idea that gorillas also required training in common sense was something that had never occurred to me before, in part because it's absolutely ludicrous. I had presumed that the liberal usage of the word "gorilla" in the letter requesting my help was merely a figure of speech and a reference to athleticism. I ... suppose it still is a reference to your athleticism, although it's far too literal for my liking. Rest assured, that is a mistake I won't make again. Given that I've already accepted this assignment, however, I do feel an obligation to complete it. So let's begin, shall we?
"Common sense" is a rather difficult concept to define in part because what's common to one culture may not be so in another. As an example - for my kind, we find bathing and maintaining good hygiene as a whole on a regular basis to be "common sense." Judging by the smell that is lingering in this particular area, I can only deduce that bathing is not common among your kind. And while that may help you, er, blend in with the living dead and their ilk around here, it can be quite off putting. One can only wonder if your sense of smell is still even functioning properly with how it is at this moment. Aren't any of you ashamed of yourselves? Let that be another lesson to learn in our course here: you should be.
In any case, there is something that we must discuss while we are on the subject of blending in: your fur. And before you raise an objection in your own manner, this is not about your hygiene. This time. It's about the color of it. I would imagine that purple fur would make it difficult for you in your line of work. You see, it makes you quite ... visible. And as the Director's enforcers, one would think you'd prefer to be anything but in order to have the advantage with the element of surprise. However, as it is, the only things you are capable of blending in with are grapes and Hanna-Barbera cartoons.
But this is where common sense and, therefore, logic can aid you. Take note of your surroundings. What colors do you see? The swamplands of Louisiana have a more neutral palette. If your fur were a more neutral shade, you would be able to fit in more easily. And so you see, the purple is hardly logical in this environment and frankly, I'd rather not know how that color was achieved. However, it's something that can be easily remedied with dye for your fur or ... rolling around in the mud, as your imaginative and ingenuitive cohort is discovering. ... Cohorts. You all don't need to do that, actually. There must be more efficient forms of camouflage and besides, that’s hardly hygienic--! Really, are you gorillas or are you lemmings?!
I ... nngh. I suppose sacrificing one's sensibilities for the upper hand could be seen as some form of "common sense." That putrid stench will put you in good company here, after all. ... For certain definitions of "good."

Michi and I were talking Thursday night and she started asking me a few things, which got me essaying a bit at her in PM. And then I said "when you eventually reapp Trucy, I'll do an essay meme and will GO ON AT LENGTH about crap at you."
... and then she reapped Trucy.
ESSAY MEME which can double as a relationship / first impressions meme for Edgeworth. If our characters have threaded at least once (even in my massive intro post, yes), I can also do one of these for you. You may also ask for Janus Cascade or Robert Haydn, but those may take me a bit longer.

Feb. 19th, 2010 06:09 pmMILES EDGEWORTH
Age: 26
Height: 178 cm
Physical traits: ... prodigy of the von Karma fashion school of lawyering. No, seriously, his bad-froofy-no-really-miles-what-were-you-thinking-go-back-to-the-blue-coat "fashion sense" is probably the most notable thing.
Medical Info: Nothing out of the ordinary! There may be a mention of an incident sixteen years ago, when he was probably treated after an earthquake that left him trapped in an elevator for some odd hours. Oxygen deprivation, nothing too serious, blahblah, father shot.
What's Okay To Mention Around Him: Anything is fine! Stuff related to Manfred von Karma and DL-6 and other magical touchy issues may make him go cold, but I am a-okay with playing with whatever.
Notes for the Psychics: Due to events in his past, Edgeworth doesn't put much value into anything spiritual, be it spirit mediums or psychics or what have you. It shouldn't be a big issue! Other than that, there's nothing out of the ordinary about him. Just contact me if you need details or whatever.
Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Ask first!
Maim/Murder/Death: Ask, but probably a no. :(d
Kissing/Hugging: If you want?
This was totally not a rehash of my old meme.

Character: Miles Edgeworth
Series: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series
Age: 26
Job: Logic Instructor
Canon: The Phoenix Wright series of games focus on the titular protagonist, Phoenix Wright, as he struggles through several cases, defending a variety of people from a plethora of murder charges. Pointing out contradictions in witness statements, finding the evidence needed to prove his client's innocence, even cross-examining parrots on the stand is all par for course for Phoenix. Needless to say, most everyone in the series tends to have a high tolerance for the utterly bizarre. Along the way, he battles wits with a number of eccentric prosecutors determined to put his clients in jail.
Miles Edgeworth is a bit of an exception to that rule, however. When on the job, he appears to be cold and calculating. Initially, he had a reputation of having a perfect record and being ruthless, but over time Edgeworth becomes more concerned with uncovering the truth. But do not let the previous two sentences fool you into believing that Edgeworth is an ultra-serious prosecutor! This is, after all, the same man who quietly fanboys the series' tokusatsu parody "The Steel Samurai" and laments when his tea set is broken by a suspect and swears to prosecute the man to the fullest extent. He's not as uptight as he initially appears to be; rather, Edgeworth is a man dedicated to his job who maybe takes it a little too seriously and can get flustered every now and then.
Note: As per his character, the latest game features Edgeworth using "logic" and deductive reasoning to solve cases by connecting two points. This game tends to highlight words that are key to this process, in the grand tradition of the series and its love for highlighting things.
Sample Post:
I find it curious that any place would require such a thing as a "logic instructor." I wouldn't be questioning it if we were to discuss the fundamentals of famous logicians such as Gongsun Long, but this is no matter of mere philosophy. Rather, the subject is more along the lines of common sense, which is not something one would typically teach. Often during my work as a prosecutor, I find myself travelling quite often for a number of reasons such as to study other legal systems and the like. But the request to come here and teach simple common sense is ... well. Perhaps I should amend my previous statement: I found it curious that any place would require a "logic instructor" until I arrived here myself. The logic that governs this camp is a far cry from anything an average person would accept as "normal." Unless, of course, you have no qualms with a kraken being in a potential water supply, in which case your problems are much, much greater than simply needing to learn something about logic.
But more importantly — judging by your glazed looks, slackened and unhinged jaws, and putrid stench, none of you are actually alive, are you? Which would then make you the zombies I had been informed of, I assume. That aside, the young, potentially rotting woman in the front row seems to have left behind her right hand. Her index finger inexplicably has caught on the leg of my pants; I can only imagine that this occurred while she was shambling to her seat. Such an incident alone points to something out of the ordinary and indicates that she, like the rest of you, are zombies. Given that, I find it difficult to be able to even teach you such a ... Miss, if you would, come and fetch your hand, please. It's— mildly disconcerting.
As I was saying earlier, logic is not something that can necessarily be taught to those with disadvantages such as yourselves, with your lack of brainpower. E-excuse me, Miss, but given that these shoes were recently polished, I would prefer it if you did not salivate on them. — Deductive reasoning and its usage of logic, however, could be taught if the subjects were willing. In the simplest of terms, deductive reasoning requires connecting two pieces of information to come to a conclusion. For example, you are all zombies and you have a Pavlovian response to the word "brains," such as when I used it mere moments ago. The conclusion we can draw, then, is that you crave brains. ... Please, erm, stop looking at me like that.
Let's ... move on from that quickly. None of you are comprehending any of this, are you? Save for the deceased woman with the wayward hands in the front row, of course. Miss, perhaps you could help your peers grasp this basic lesson? If you could moan two or three points, we can then all work together to deduce what you are suggesting. This should hardly be difficult since it seems rather impossible for you to utter anything beyond simple phrases. First point — myself? That's simple enough. What is your second point? ... the lake? I see. If you could add in a third point to give some clarity to your peers, Miss? Slowly, if you would. Whipped crea—
... Miss, I don't need to use deductive reasoning to figure out that what you are suggesting is definitively not safe.
