Miles Edgeworth doesn't have friends, and he likes it that way.
Third grade is beneath him, anyways. His classmates are immature and idiotic, and if they could see the top-notch defense attorney he'll become, they'd regret ever daring to make fun of him. Of course, it doesn't matter what they say or do, because before he knows it, Miles will be studying law far away, and he'll never have to think about any of them again. But the infantile affairs of elementary school seem to drag on ad infinitum, and he'd do anything to make those days arrive sooner.
Enter Phoenix Wright, artist, latchkey kid, and self-proclaimed dinosaur. Miles can't figure out why, but there's something about him that's hard to ignore. So when he decides Miles is the best thing since sliced bread and becomes set on befriending him, it's all but impossible to resist. It might end up being the most foolish decision Miles has ever made, but he has to know more about this boy. So he gives in. He throws caution to the wind and allows himself to be swept up in the highs and lows of his first-ever friendship. For Phoenix, he's willing to take that risk—even if it means putting up with Phoenix's other new friend, the buffoon known as Larry Butz.

“I mean, the kid is great and all– saved the day twice for Hylia’s sake– but If you’re going out that way,” he continues, only looking a little bit guilty about what he’s saying. “I really should warn you. That hero kid is a couple eggs short of a cuccoo nest, if you know what I mean.”
“No,” A voice from just behind the other two heroes cuts in, making Hyrule almost jump out of his own skin. “I don’t know what you mean. Elaborate.”
The two whirl around to face a Time who is doing what Hyrule thinks he might do even better than wield that massive sword he has strapped to his back; giving a neutral yet ultimately disapproving look to the man behind them.

What kind of Farmer Queen would Pearl be– what kind of person would she be– if she were to leave her friends, her family, her people, in mourning? Who would she be if she saddled them with wrongful guilt, the universal belief that they could have done something to keep her?
There was a single solution: become the best fighter in the world and never die.

Silver gasped, breath billowing in front of him. Despite his first hopes, he had ended up in a ruined future, it was the only explanation for the sight before him. He had to go back and fix it, right away.

Then, in a flourish of blinding light, the portal disintegrated in front of his eyes.
That had never happened before.

It’s an old story, just as stories always are; there’s a hero and a princess and three points to a triangle, and the gods bestow power among those they find worthy, and then the gods go mad and the people destroy the golden power out of fear and the world plunges into darkness as it enters its death throes.
It’s an old story. There is no golden power left to save them.
It’s an old story. Just because that power is gone, it doesn’t mean the gods left with it.

He is Dunban, Hero of the Homs, a disabled war veteran who fought for a future that everyone could choose for themselves, without the input of gods. His reputation of destroying countless Mechonis machines, for a fight he was unknowingly in the wrong for, does not focus on his actions, but rather his skill that allowed him to do it in the first place. A nickname like “Beast” fits him when his mind is driven to fight at all costs for his survival, as complicated as the reasoning is when the real enemy was the one fighting beside him for years and hidden inside the body of his sister’s childhood friend.
How could he be a father?
A character analysis on Dunban, his past, and the boy he adopts.
