Character's Name: Richard "Rin" Flinn
Age: 25
Occupation: Prosecutor/Suspect (Guilty)
Brief Physical Description: An average built man and a little taller than five feet tall, being a man of smiles and less frowns.
Richard takes every morning to appreciate his long delicate curly hair, being a dark shade of red
that turns into a brighter tone with the slight touch of the morning sun, He uses to
fix the lenght of his hair in a ponytail at home before going off to work, remarking a peaceful expression,
releasing it only when he's back at home or relaxed in his office; his wide eyes being a pale mixture between green and blue,
and due to an hereditary medical condition he had to wear a special pair of glasses since he graduated from the Themis Legal Academy at the age of 19,
when his vision quality decreased every year that passed. Without his glasses, Richard can't se a thing, just aimless shapes.
Possesses delicate hands with a very strong grip on them, keeps a kind of an easygoing appearance.
Sometimes he wears a diverse combination of different-colored vestsand ties. Unlike his suits and the rest of his formal attire that are all of the same color.
Brief Personality Description: Richard, despite of being a very temperamental man that hates daily-repetitive routines,
posesses a strong will and patience that he puts in practice everyday in court and even in his normal life to avoid
stressing himself too easily, the most precious thing on his own self could be the profile that he mantains while doing his job,
a very serene, flexible, fancy profile, nothing to do with his real self.
A man with a sarcastic sense of humor that enjoys the reaction of the person he's speaking with, or even confronting.
On Richard's perception he's valuable on the Psychology side since it was dragged into the court a few years ago,
being a new effective resource to "achieve the truth".
Makes strong, stubborn judgements against others who cross them, being a reflexive act while feeling nervous,
and as he realizes the sudden burst of emotions, Richard always finds a way to get away with it.
His voice always calm along with relaxed facial expressions to avoid being a prime suspect on anything.
Traditional, independent and organized, his desk always tidied up and puts his patience at practice with
his "loyal" detective Jean Terran and rival attorneys.
Connection to canon characters: Before Kristoph's incarceration, he had the same vision, the same goal as him. Even shared the same motto:
"Evidence is everything in court", even if Richard's means weren't the right ones. He looked up to Kristoph as a model
of experience and elegance (despite of being the opposite in both their careers), remembering the last words of his role-model, a name, a voice full of grudge and anger that echoed: "Apollo Justice".
All prepared, his first trials were an easy task; but, after a few months of glory and successfull 'Guilty' veredicts, the trouble on his own
self began. One he could never forget, a trial confronting the prodigy Athena Cykes, along with Apollo Justice, calling him "Röda djävulen" ('red devil' in swedish).
The name soon echoed over his thoughts once again, but this time Apollo wasn't alone, so he had to do a little
research over his younger companion, feeling impressed and wondered about how something so simple but also complicated
could be perfect to "achieve the truth" in the courtroom, pressing the witness and dealing with the emotional details over
their own statements, perhaps that could work with his courtroom rivals somehow.
Richard keeps a pretty good relationship with the other fellow prosecutors in the zone, feeling well received and appreciated after his arrival at LA,
being a nationalized man originally from Sweden. Returned to the motherland after the sudden death of his mentor Metis Cykes
from whom he learned about Analytical Psychology and its applications, but of course, Richard had other purposesin mind.
Such as winning against Athena's methods in court, no matter the circumstances.
He even was acused of fabricating evidence (which was a true fact at the end), but thanks to his own knowledge, he could easily get off the case.
Hiding emotions properly could be another of his surprises, being also a prime suspect at the time they had the urge
to find the Phantom's identity, being mildly insulted and threatened by Simon Blackquill during their sessions.
But obviously, Richard wasn't the Phantom after all. But his crimes are still intact.
Brief Background: Richard grew up in a small town located on Sweden with his widow mother, he lost his father at the early age of
7 years as his father was caught sorrounded by a wildfire in the depths of the mountain's woods near his hometown.
As the years passed he developed pyrophobia as the product of his childhood trauma involving his father's death.
The wildfire case was never solved, no matter how much he tried to discover the origin of such event, even when the local security
system revealed that it started as an act of vandalism by a group of four teenagers. The vandals weren't sentenced for the outcome
of their act due to the lack of evidence and the holes in Richard's testimony.
Richard was outlined at the moment for searching a "kind of justice that doesn't exist" in plain form. And his obsession with
obtaining the truth with all he could only grew stronger.
At the age of 16, with the company of his uncle, he managed to convince his mother to let him follow his father's wish and follow his steps,
soon, he traveled to LA with a recommendation letter for the Themis Legal Academy ready to achieve his goal, become a successfull
prosecutor.
But blindfolded by his own ambition, he fell into a pit of corruption and frustration.
Flinn wasn't one of the most sociable or bright students of his generation, he was only determined and focused on his goal as he practiced his English skills with
the few friends he could make during his first months in the prosecutor class; despite of being a cold perfectionist he would always
receive a classmate with a wide friendly smile, even if he rejected a petition or practiced his sarcastic humor with others instead of insulting them directly.
As the studens were finishing their studies as judges, defense attorneys and prosecutors, they celebrated the success of the
generation with a mock-final trial to show up the high-ranked students, more like a competition it's a way to celebrate their
efforts.
Richard took it the wrong way, as a competition, and he was almost banned from the celebration for "fabricating evidence" on the mock-trial,
he was a little obvious though; on the defense side there was a shy figure, Alexis Luana, a student from the defense attorney class,
who was very determined, ready with the already-prepared evidence given by the professor in charge of the whole celebration,
but she noticed that everything Richard was doing was out of the main program and asked the professor about it in case she was the one representating her part the wrong way.
Ashamed, Richard spent the rest of the celebration alone, consumed by the memories of his long-lost parental figure, not winning the
mock-trial with "all the means necessary" triggered those thoughts. After the celebration, he received his title, and never stepped near the academy anymore.
Still consumed by his angered/manipulative self, he met his new model ignoring that he belonged to the opposite side of this system, it was more like a moral model to him,
the defense attorney Kristoph Gavin accepted to guide the aspiring prosecutor with the few things he knew about that side of the law and their profile.
But the outcome of that combination wasn't the best a courtroom would've ever wanted. He provided Richard a trustfull companion, a familiar face
between the inner security assistants in the local Detention Center, Jean Terran. A fellow detective that, as the years passed,
realized the horrid problem he just got involved into.
Corruption, lies, fabrication of evidence, murder. Everything he could do to achieve his own goal, and that wasn't involving his father's wish anymore.
