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.
