Trial #1: "Turnabout Top 5"

#5

Gaspen Payne [In The Ass]

First seen: "Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies"

Reason: Gaspen Payne is a prosecutor and the younger brother of the "Rookie Killer",  Winston Payne. Unlike his older brother, he is more than willing to use dirty tactics in court. Like his brother, Gaspen also has self-styled titles: the "Rookie Humiliator" and the "Defendant Humiliator".  His name is wordplay on the term, "Gasp in pain", just like his older brother's name being wordplay on the term "Winced in pain".

Gaspen Payne (to Labyrinthia): "As you can see, there is no room for debate!"

#4

Athena Cykes

First seen: "Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies"

Reason: Being a behavior detector thanks to her digital friend, "Widget".  Works under Phoenix Wright and is VERY offended by Gaspen Payne's smug attitude.

Athena (to her digital friend): "Put a sock in it, Widget!"

#3

Simon Blackquill

First seen: "Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies"

Reason: Simon Blackquill is a prosecutor who was convicted in the aftermath of the UR-1 Incident. Seven years later, he was called to serve as a prosecutor despite serving his murder sentence. Blackquill is known for his use of psychological manipulation in court, as well as his pet hawk, Taka, to intimidate others and bend them to his will. His conviction and tactics in court earned him the nickname of the "Twisted Samurai".  His last name is based off of the term "Black Will", referring to him being on death row.

Simon: "SILENCE!"

#2

Apollo Justice

WHO ELSE?!

Miles Edgeworth

First seen: "Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney"

Reason: This guy is BY THE BOOKS, always has a LEGIT trick up his sleeve, and looks like a red-clothed, prosecutor Austin Powers!  

Edgeworth (To Phoenix Wright): "Regardless the circumstance, I intend to question the defendant with all I have...For THAT...Is a part of my creed."

Next part will be "Top 3 Ace Attorney Moments".  Anyways, toodles for now, my loyal bat swarm!
