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."
