Name: Thommurstein D. Trout (Tommy D. Trout)

Age: 23

Friends and Family: No known family, best friends with Kaminogi Souryuu, whom he calls "chumley".

Background: Thommurstein "Tommy" D. Trout first appears as the prosecutor of a strange murder which occured during a fishing trip. Though unprepared, Tommy insisted that the case be his solely for the fact that fishing was involved. His superiors were against this entirely, but Tommy kept saying that he could win as long as he brought his "passionate fishing rod burning blue", his lucky fishing rod, to court. Again, his superiors were against this, but eventually agreed out of annoyance.

The same case happened to be Kaminogi Souryuu's first case at age 22. Before the trial began, Tommy (Who was still wearing his fishing hat and jacket) came to greet Souryuu and Marvin Grossberg, who was sitting in as his Co-Council at the time. This greeting ended in Tommy accidentally dropping the trophy salmon he brought on Grossberg's foot, resulting in Tommy running away and Souryuu looking confused.

During the actual trial, Tommy proved to be a more-than-worthy opponent, despite screwing up in calling the witnesses more than a few times. In fact, he had almost won the case, had he not commented on Souryuu's coffee-drinking in court, remarking that if the former could drink 17 cups of coffee a day, he could eat 24 anchovies a day. Tommy began to completely go off-topic and even brought out the trophy salmon again. Meanwhile, Souryuu was taking the time to check the Court Record, and eventually found a contradiction.

The trial ended in the defense's favor, whilst Tommy was left in shock at his defeat caused by his incredibly short attention span. After the Judge adjourned court, Tommy returned to the Defense Lobby to congratulate Souryuu and apologize to Mr. Grossberg. He then said flat-out that he and Souryuu were going to be rivals, and that he would kick his ass the next time.

Over time, however, Tommy and Souryuu eventually became friends, and Tommy took to calling Souryuu "Chumley Coffee Boy", or simply "chumley". The two remained friends for a long time, until Tommy had to leave for England when his half-uncle, who was the Chief Prosecutor in one of the cities there, needed his help. Thus, he never heard about the "Chinami Incident".

Personality: Tommy LOVES fishing, almost as much as Souryuu loves coffee. He isn't too serious about his job, and at certain times, may go completely off-topic in court and even whip out a fish or two. When the situation calls for it, though, Tommy can be good enough a prosecutor to match even the toughest defense attorneys... Though this is a rarity.

Being Souryuu's friend, Tommy tried to be as "cool" as the former, and tries to copy his friend. Tommy has many "unorthodox" pickup lines and catchphrases as well, like:

"So you call hot women 'kittens'... I CALL MINE 'HERRING'!!!"

"How you doing, herring?"

"Hehe! Nice try, chumley, but your theory lacks something as important as a Blue Marlin's nose... EVIDENCE!"

"You bring coffee mugs in the courtroom, well, I bring FISH!!! WE GOT SALMON!!!"

"Damn, I guess I used the wrong lure!"

Tommy has gotten himself and Souryuu in trouble more than a dozen times, either unintentionally or because he was being negligent.

Sprite Work: Odoroki recolor with additional edits and stuff. Flipped horizontally.

hmm the problem is not that she is fat but that her anatomy looks kinda off. Like for example the head looks too small for the body so i think all you have to do is make the body smaller.

dude great sprite i like the character already ^^ some of the lines could stand to be a bit smoother tho.

Left to Right: Young Bishop King (1981-1999), Courtroom Shot of King VS Wright, Post-PW3 Bishop King
Name:
Bishop King / Taizou Kenji / Roi Trépas (alt.: Roi Eveque)

Age:
58 (1961-2022)

Friends and Family:
He is the last living member of his family, and he has no known relatives.

Background:
A psychic who became a prosecutor to bring people to justice.
During the 1980s, he became famous in the world of law for winning many high-profile cases.
His skills earned him several nicknames throughout the years, including "Checkmate" King and "the Prosecuting King of Death".

However, his powers placed a strain on his body.
His condition began to worsen, and he was forced to retire in 2000.
In the years that followed, his legacy was overshadowed by Manfred von Karma's 40-year perfect streak and the "Legendary Duo". To the rest of the world, "Checkmate" King was nothing more than a fading memory, and he fell into depression.

To escape his pain (both physical and emotional), King attended nearly every court proceeding.
Witnessing von Karma's defeat to Phoenix Wright gave him the strength to "rise from the ashes" once more, using Wright's fame to springboard his own into history.

Bishop King returned to the prosecutor's bench in 2017, determined to restore the prosecution's reputation by defeating Phoenix Wright and rebuild his legacy.
In order to do this, he is determined to separate him from his friends, the source of his "power". By taking them out of the equation, King intends to humiliate Wright and expose him to be a "fraud".
Unbeknownst to everyone, King's fate has already been sealed. Having "abused" his powers 20 years ago, the damage inflicted on his body is now irrepairable. Even with his medication, King isn't expected to live past 60...

*King was physically present in all of Wright's trials from February 2017-June 2017.
To prepare himself to confront Wright, King spent the first 3 years of his return polishing up on his skills. He would go against Phoenix Wright in 2020 (post-PW3/GS3).


Personality:
Bishop King believes true justice cannot be fulfilled through rules that are set in stone, nor can one man decide the fate of another.
He follows a personal honor code - he will never, under any circumstances, manipulate the law for personal gain or fame, a lesson he learned when he began his career. He despises Manfred von Karma for using illegal methods to maintain his 40-year record and (for a short time) tries to keep Franziska from going down the same path.

He appears to be on good terms with the Judge's family, as well as the police department.

Sprite Work:
Young Bishop King:
Recolored Godot's body, and edited Edgeworth's head, combining his hair w/ Kaminogi's to get the final result you see now.

King VS Wright:
This King is a re-edit/recolored Wright. Both Wright and King's legs were edited to match the background.

Older Bishop King:
Flipped Wright's body and altered/recolored his outfit to resemble Kirihito's. I took Kaminogi's facial structure and his right eye to complete the face. His arms are re-edited from Edgeworth.
His inside vest and hair were both hand-made, though the color schemes were based on Turner Grey and Kaminogi. The nametag on the text box was pieced together from existing tags from the game. The "K" was the only letter I had to create from scratch.
Yes, I know his skin tone is different compared to his younger self. Can't a guy spend his 20 years of retirement working on a tan?


Misc. Information:
The idea for this character was inspired by SNK's Geese Howard and one of his arranged themes, "Geese ni Katakori".

Name: Ike Von Karma
Age: 12 (PW1)

Spritework: Paint. Cody's body and head. Larry's hair.


(GS4 version)

Griff is awesome!!!

---

Too bad I lost all my fanfic documents in a computer crash and am now unable to finish said fic. >___<

---

too bad :-( speaking of which I made a sprite for you... it's Griff!
I'll post it when I have the time

---

NOOOOOO!!!!!!

I figured I should post this guy somewhere...



Name: Godai Infyre
Age: 32
Occupation: Chartered Accountant
Brief Physical Description: Godai is tall, standing at approximately 6'5''. He wears a business suit without the jacket; just the pants, tie, and white shirt. He has a large nose. His hair is smoothed back and orange and he has long, thick sideburns. Lastly, he has a scar going across his face and through his left eye.
Brief Personality Description: He used to love his job as a British Chartered Accountant, but, in recent years, it has become very tedious and boring to him. He has an obsession with fire and always carries around a small, silver lighter, which he clicks open and shut when in thought and he has a habit of lighting things on fire subconsciously. He is usually nice and gentlemanly towards people, but he can get quite angry when provoked.
Brief Background: Bored with his job as a Chartered Accountant, he decided to take a trip to the United States and ended up as the defendant in a crime of arson. Since he was found at the crime scene, has a fire obsession, and can get very anger, he was an obvious suspect.
Name origin: Not that hard to figure out. Just say his name aloud. Go-duh-eye In-fy-er

Made completely from scratch in MS Paint. The "screenshot" above was set up in Photoshop, however. MS Paint lacks the ability to make those little text boxes semi-transparent. I went through a lot of fonts to get that one but it's still probably wrong. Also, I hate myself for making him wear a white shirt. I always have trouble shading white.

His red hair & glasses remind me of Lawrence Locke. XD



Name: Lawrence Locke (Thanks to Al for the name xD)

Age: 27

Friends and Family: ?

Background: [I haven't thought of his background... yet]

Personality: A sadist (heheh), and will do anything to get a guilty verdict (classic, eh?), mysterious and very cruel.

Sprite Work: edited Odoroki's sprites.

Tommy and Lawrence could be distant cousins or something.

...

OH SNAP, I SMELL AN IDEA.

A merged background? It might work, since Lawrence doesn't have a background yet, and Tommy has no background post-Souryuu's-Best-Friend and all that jazz. Maybe Lawrence could be Tommy's replacement in court after he leaves for England and grows to hate Souryuu or something like that, thus transforming him into a sadist. Heck, maybe Lawrence might even have a crush on Chinami or something. That's worth some pondering, in my opinion.

That guy sounds so bloody Norwegian X___X It's because it's said that Norwegians love fishing... So do I >_<
