Description Man I wasn't thinking when I drew those pockets was I?

I know this has showed up before in some of my really old sketchbook dumps, that I'd been toying around with the Path of Radiance characters in a Phoenix Wright sort of setting.

Then I spent an indecent amount of time actually thinking about it and sorting out the character roles and plot and timeline.

Then I spent several days reading up anything I could about courtroom procedures and laws and fun stuff.

Then I kinda blah blah blahed about it in the middle of one of my many excessive comments on 's Harriet Project deviants.

So I kinda had to start drawing something.

This is Ike Merck. Although I figure he's 17 in PoR, he's bumped up to 18 so he can be his sister Mist's legal guardian, ah, just in case. And so his age doesn't stretch one's willing suspension of disbelief as much. He just took a lot of college courses... while in school... and rolled around naked in some magical phlebotinum. He was eager to follow in his dad's footsteps!

His father Greil started Merck & Co. Attorneys at Law along with Titania. They specialize in defense and are willing to take cases even if the client can't afford it because they believe in JUSTICE.

(Greil is usually not angry at Ike. That was supposed to be him yelling at the the three for disobeying Titania, but I didn't feel like working out that dialogue. And he doesn't smoke, he pulls that out to enhance his gruff visage. Has anyone noticed that Firefox doesn't like dialogue? The first time I'd seen it spelled otherwise was only a few months ago. Weird.)

That bottom photo is on Greil's desk. It was taken when he and Ike's mum were still dating. And he was totally into that metal band, Urvan. DUDE LET'S HEADBANG.

How does Ike get away with dressing like that I don't know. That's a lie I do know. WHY he dresses like that when Greil always go to court in his nicest suit with cuff links and polished shoes, that we'll never know.

Holy crap, this is amazing. XD I like the idea of "Urvan" being a metal band.

Oh my goodness, this had me laughing so bad. I'm still giggling some. I also find it amusing that he chooses a blue suit, out of all the colors, even though it pretty much looks like his hair color. Lol.

Ike's just a trendy bitch, isn't he?

Greil looks surprisingly...un-threatening? In spite of his arms. He looks like the type of dad who'd spoil his daughter rotten.

Only one question:

Where's Soren in all this?! (That's the only way that Ike could actually win cases...)

SHWEET MUZZAH.

You actually did it.

...8DDDDD

Yes! Ike's hypercompetence at a young age is powered by plot device! And I really like how you drew this out too! The lightng in the greil pick is really effective. And the waterfall scene is just too pretty. Wow, Ike's Mom was really pretty when she was young! Though of course, Ike dressed like a wayfaring pirate who happened to snag a suit and Greil all fancy and professional looking cast an amusing image in my mind. Scratch that-Ike's ROID TASTIC DAD looking professional casts an amusing image in my mind.

I have to agree with the gang here-the sneaks make Ike look awesome. And I'm amused by the line "And what's that piece of scrap you've got tied around your head?"

Oh God... this made me laugh aloud. Literally. I love this. x33

But if this is a sort of Phoenix Wright setting, and Ike represents Nicky, then his mentor dies! D: WE CANNOT LET TITANIA BE KILLED BY SOME CREEPY DUDE THAT USES MADE-UP WORDS

Metal band Urvan. Awesome, dude.

And I like the hiker's shoes. Very good touch. x3

Madam, this is perhaps one of the most delightfully crackish things I have discovered in a long while.
My god it's amazing. I am left with no choice but to demand more. (In a most respectful tone X3 )

One vital question... where is Titania?!

..."they believe in JUSTICE"
This makes me giggle to no end.
