What would he be like outside of his job?
In his home life, social life(if he has one), etc?
I can see pretty much every other character this way... but not him... :/

He spends all day and night on an unbelievably strict schedule, mostly consisting of reading books on Law, reading old, and new, case files, and probably intimidating people outside of court, to still get what he wants. He wouldn't do sports. It's not something he would benefit from.

I don't know about the sports part. I can still picture him playing golf. However, as for the rest of his life, I'd say you've pretty much hit the nail on the head. Let's see... I wouldn't be surprised if he never gives himself any free time, either. He probably reads the newspaper at a set time, has his morning coffee served at a specific temperature and a specific concentration, always goes right at the speed limit when driving (assuming he's not speeding up from a stop or lower speed limit or slowing down to a stop or lower speed limit), always... [goes on and on]

I'm trying to say as much as possible, without a spoiler... but I can't see him playing any sports. I consider him towards sports like Andrews in JFA towards most things.

These are all useful pursuits with a purpose. He doesn't indulge in pointless games like golf.
He's not a family man in the traditional sense but his sense of ancestry and family name is very strong.
He's not a party man but he does hold formal dinners for the great and the good when he is at home in Germany. They always have a traditional German christmas.
That's my take on an out of court VK, anyways.

I think I might have something approaching an answer for you. I get the feeling Manfred was a generally cold, very strict father, but one to reward obedience by taking great pride in his kinder. His older daughter (the one who has her own daughter) he probably tried to shape into a "perfect" lady--refinement, gentility, and all that. Franziska he probably saw a lot of himself in, so he sought to make her the heiress to his own legacy--Miles I think he considered more of an instrument of revenge than an heir. I suspect he offered Franziska a peculiar mixture of fatherly pride and soldierly camaraderie. They probably shared many a sardonic laugh at the rest of the world. "They think to beat us. ...Fools." It may not have been the most healthy relationship, but it had its ups as well as its downs, I'm sure.

I expect things to be proper and organised in von Karma's life. Manfred von Karma is an organised man and expects perfection in every small detail. Anything that does not go according to plan can ruin everything. There is no room for laziness or procrastination. I wonder what kind of life he had as a boy. I imagine his family and ancestors to be the same though maybe without the same obsession for perfection as Manfred... maybe....

I know 1-4 mentons that VK has a granddaughter, and that in rules of age that its not Franny's.
But does it ever say that it was VK's DAUGHTER and not son who is resposible for that?

I THINK it may have been on the Gyakuten100 list on LJ. But I can't remember who wrote it so you'd have to poke through the archive.

Also, this is a great topic. It had never even occured to me to really think about von Karma outside of the courtroom. But now that I am, something is bothering me. If Franziska and Edgeworth grew up in Germany, how were they trained by von Karma? After all, he's been working in Japan/United States (depending on the language you play the game in) all this time. Did he periodically make trips there? If so, how come they were so affected by his influence.

Wow, that is scarily close to the conclusion my sister came to about the Von Karma family!

Was it ever specifically stated that Manfred spent his entire career in America? I just assumed he travelled often; until the DL-6 incident. I imagine he took a lengthy vacation in... I dunno, Hawaii or the Bahamas or something, dropped into America to pick up young Edgey, then raised/trained him and Franziska in Germany.

Generally in psychological terms, the cause of an unhealthy behavior is the direct opposite of that behavior. The control freak had little control over things growing up; the neat freak lived in a sty. That sort of thing. von Karma's fixation on perfection could be the result of never being 'good enough' growing up; in a way we can see that process at work on Franziska, and it seems to be a reasonable assumption that Manfred was probably brought up by hyper-judgemental parents. He was never good enough, so he's bent on being perfect. Thus he's hyper-judgemental of those around him, including his children. And now look at Franziska.
I can see him being into sport shooting as an out-of-court hobby, actually. It would be in keeping with his attempt to explain the bullet in his shoulder; that explanation that it was from some other accident and not DL-6 wouldn't hold water if he didn't have a hobby or something in which he could have been shot. If it had been a criminal incident...well, I think a high-profile prosecutor being shot would attract an awful lot of attention and would have been mentioned somewhere, y'know?
