Occupation: Apollo Justice: Novice Attorney

History: Apollo was born to magician member Thallassa Gramarye, but for unknown reasons, she ended up leaving him in an orphanage while he was still too young to remember his Mother even existed. Despite the inner feeling of abandonment, Apollo remained optimistic through the years, convincing himself full-time that no matter how bad things were, he was fine. During his young life, he found friendship in a young boy his age named Clay Terran. While Apollo aspired to be a lawyer, Clay hoped to become an astronaut, but despite their differing destinies, they became great friends and found a bond only the closest of friends can form. Clay's parents were suddenly killed in a car crash after some time, and Clay was left in Apollo's orphanage. Clay never revealed his feelings to others, but Apollo found Clay one night sobbing outside of the building, mourning the death of his family. Apollo gave him an optimistic view of the situation, telling Clay to convince himself that everything was fine. It worked.

Eventually, Apollo did grow up and become a lawyer. His very first case, and he was defending his former idol and inspiration, Phoenix Wright. Apollo pulled through a difficult trial of protecting the disbarred lawyer, only to end up convicting his own boss of the crime. He was left unemployed for a time, before he was called upon once more by Wright for supposedly urgent business. He discovered that the Wright and co. Law Offices had grown into the small-but-prospering "Wright Talent Agency" led by Wright's daughter, Trucy. Through the business and much sidetracking, he became an unofficial member of the newly-renamed "Wright Anything Agency", renamed to accomodate for Apollo's lack of (intentionally) entertaining qualities. A couple cases later, and he eventually helped Phoenix Wright earn his badge back, and the man regained his lawyer status a few months later.

A few months after his last case, Apollo was forced into a very sudden murder case when he discovered a dead body at a Yokai festival. Here he meets and takes on a mentor-like role for the newly-recruited Athena Cykes, a very young lawyer with a goal in mind. He helped Athena through her very first case, and at first, things were fine. Unfortunately, a short time later, Apollo comes upon terrible news: Clay Terran had been murdered, and on the very same night Clay was to make his first journey into space, at that. He defended Solomon Starbuck, Clay's mentor, and kept him from taking the fall for Clay's murder. Unfortunately, the courtroom was exploded while he was in it by a bomb leftover from the case as evidence. He could have escaped, but he took serious injuries protecting his friend Juniper Woods from rubble of the explosion. He attempted to defend Juniper despite his injuries, but he pushed himself too hard, eventually collapsing from a re-opened wound. He was forced to sit the case out, leaving Athena and Phoenix to clear Juniper's name in his place. Shortly after the trial, the case of the murder of Clay resumed. Phoenix managed to clear Starbuck's name, but the blame was unfortunately shifted to Athena. Unfortunately, Apollo was unable to work with the others, due to having waning trust in Athena, and believing the case to be a personal matter that he wanted to find his own answers to. He took an official leave of absence from the Anything Agency that day.

He went through the case seperate from Phoenix and Athena, finding his own evidence and forming his own conclusions, eventually leading him to testify against Athena in the trial. Fortunately, Phoenix negated Apollo's argument about Athena's possibility in being the murderer, allowing Apollo to regain his trust in her. The blame was soon shifted to the true murderer: An international spy by the name of "The Phantom". This being was revealed to be none other than Detective Fulbright; or at least, a Fulbright imposter. This revelation was followed by a brief recess, where Phoenix successfully convinced Apollo to rejoin the agency. Apollo worked with Phoenix and Athena for the remainder of the trial to convict The Phantom of the crime, at last finding satisfaction in that his best friend's murderer was apprehended at last.

Character Summary: At first glance, Apollo seems very goofy, what with his horned hairstyle and his love of the color red. And yes, he has a very (unintentionally) goofy side, what with his desperate attempts to earn respect from others that only result in Polly abuse. He wakes up early every morning not only to gel his hair, but also to "train" his "Chords of Steel" believing that being loud is the key to earning respect. He breaks eardrums as quickly as he breaks any chances of respect. As well, he's somewhat egotistical, having a passive-aggressive overconfidence in his potential to be great. He's also rather childish, admittedly wanting to hold a place of recognition as a lawyer. He was rather ticked off, in fact, when Phoenix made his debut case without him.

That said, though, Apollo definitely deserves some respect. He's a very optimistic man with a love of justice and the truth. His motto is "I'm Apollo Justice and I'm fine!", often shortened down simply to "I'm fine!". He is very considerate of the feelings and concerns of others and puts others ahead of himself. Despite his smug view of his abilities as a lawyer, he's very modest in all other aspects of his life, tending to view himself as nothing special, or at least not entertaining.
