Simon Blackquill

"The prosecutor said, "Rubbish! We will be out on a stroll!" then left with Detective Fulbright."

- District Court Bailiff, in the best moment of Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies

Simon Blackquill is a prosecutor from the Ace Attorney series, played by Netkeeper in many, many AUs and odd and sexy scenarios. What, you thought there'd be SHAME on my primary character's page? Get outta here with that shit.

A terrible copypasta about
Will I fix it later & make it nice? Who knows

In the original Japanese version of Ace Attorney, Simon's original name gives us a quick hint to his personality. "Jin" (迅) means "swiftness", most likely to the movement of a sword, but also how quick he can be to react, while "Yugami" (歪み) means "a warp/distortion"... the actual important part. As a character created to manipulate others, many aspects of Simon's personality and behaviours are deceptive and aim to help him achieve that end.

Much like an animal of high social status, Simon prefers using whatever tactics he can to appear larger both physically and psychologically, from the words he uses to the way he says them. His style of dress combined with his natural advantage in height make him look imposing, which he takes full advantage of, especially because he knows just how intimidating his facial features can be.

Of course, more than that, to get what he needs from someone, all he usually needs to do is threaten them or use a gentle persuasion... and there are plenty of ways to pull off either one. Taka is very helpful here, giving Simon additional speed and reach, which is good because this prosecutor doesn't carry an actual sword. If you thought he did you are silly. The quick slicing motion he makes with his hand is merely that, and that should probably tip off the savvy that Simon's threats are generally as empty as my bank account. They are calculated reactions devoid of the same anger that would be present if he were actually lashing out. And about that...

...While Simon may have very good control over his emotions, don't mistake that nor his lack of comment on things he doesn't deem worthy of it to be emotional detachment. Simon feels frequently, and strongly. His anger is frightening, his loyalty is until death, and his love is passionate. If he's not fond of a situation, trust me, this man makes it known with aggressive honesty or being dismissive. When someone is on the side of his companionship, Simon is more pleasant to be around, but he doesn't become a completely new person. His threats just become ill-mannered jokes and teasing that may cross a few lines from time to time, depending on recipient.

Simon's sense of humour is, well, warped, and he seems to favour referring to most people by mocking nicknames rather than their actual names, unless he seems to deem them worthy of his respect. Simon also has a horrendous memory when it comes to other people's names, however, so these may be related. He also has a tendency to use Japanese honourifics with names, so really, the truest indicator of his level of trust and comfort with somebody might have to be how he refers to them.

All-in-all, Simon is not pleasant to be around, even for people he likes, because he is condescending, relentless in his dark-humoured teasing, and, of course, because he's in the business of manipulating people. It's what he specialises in. He may like some other things -- like Japanese culture, sweet treats & apples, and birds of all kinds -- but these things only make him a huge nerd, they don't stop him from being a shit.

Like seriously this is the last warning about how shit Simon Blackquill is.

CAHniverse
A lot of shit happened in the original incarnation of CAHniverse. He dated Fulbright, had sex with a bunch of weirdos, not all of which were even human, adopted a kid, had another kid, and yet another kid but this time from the future but was actually the first kid but flung backwards in time, and was half the inspiration for the name of a Chocobo. Lots of games were played, alcohol was consumed, and wine bottles fellated. Then a bunch of stupid injuries from doing stupid things happened. And Fucking Dycedarg gave him amnesia.

Then some asshole pressed a reset button on the simulation & started everything over just to make him suffer all over again. Though so far it's mostly been him making others suffer for once. Score.

Urban Fantasy AU
This Simon is literally just a hipster obsessed with Japan designed to be whatever I think is funny and/or hot. He's a private paranormal detective, human [initially], with a side "hobby" of owning a tattoo & piercing shop that he more uses as a place to scout for unusual supernatural shit to look into.
