Adoranz Moriarty

Adoranz Moriarty is a mediocre prosecutor who frequently faces off against Collin Fibs and Little Detective in court. He does not take on many murder cases, instead preferring less bloody civil suits or other such things in order to bump up his win/loss ratio.

## Personality

Adoranz Moriarty is a 'dreadful' and 'cruel' individual who does as he pleases when he wants to. He is seemingly without remorse and does not care about the feelings of others, as he uses people as stepping stones to ensure his path to victory.

Adoranz is a intensely fame-driven man who seeks to be just as famous as Miles Edgeworth, possibly even more. For this reason, he has claimed Edgeworth's old title— the Demon Prosecutor. However, no one else actually calls him that.

Adoranz has trouble keeping relationships and friendships afloat due to his personality and odd tendencies, so he tends to keep people at arms length as to not get attached. On the flip side, he is extremely attached to Phoenix Wright, despite never seeing him in over a decade.

He is very prudish and proper, detesting things like swearing, illicit substances, and other such things. This makes him an easy target for people such as Little Detective, who like to 'do a little trolling'. Despite his 'proper' demeanor, he has an 'unhinged' side to him that exposes itself whenever he's faced with loss or slight annoyances.

## History

### Early Life

When Adoranz was a child, he went to the same school as Wright and Edgeworth. He was frequently ignored by his peers because of his 'odd' personality and attitude. When Edgeworth moved away, he became close with Wright, who'd warmed up to him. Unknowingly to the both of them, Adoranz was used as a substitute for Edgeworth and was frequently compared to him.

Adoranz internalized the feeling of being in Edgeworth's shadow all the way up until highschool, where he chose to get into law to upstage Edgeworth.

### Trilogy

Adoranz had a relatively mediocre career in law, winning some and losing some cases. Due to this, he was never able to get up to Edgeworth's level and successfully challenge him as a peer. Though he worked hard, he ended up developing a ruthless and cruel attitude towards others in his life. In order to 'achieve' a guilty verdict in all cases like Edgeworth did, he warped his perspective on how he was meant to do his job.

During this time, he met Mahn Torr, a legendary attorney. Figuring he was his way to getting infamy, Adoranz befriended him. The two had a bond of unknown depth, which Adoranz eventually betrayed in some way in order to make Torr's unchallenged streak finally snap. Because of the emotional wound Adoranz had dealt, he'd also taken Torr out of commission in the world of law, as he left the profession.

Adoranz began calling himself the 'Demon Prosectuor' after Torr's departure from the legal world and Edgeworth's shedding of the title. He hoped that this would gain him the attention of Wright, who'd also become a lawyer. However, it did not, and Adoranz continued to work towards Wright noticing him.

### Post-Trilogy

When Wright left the legal world, Adoranz did not stop trying to ensure Wright knew about him in some way. He frequently took on large cases or brought down big names, take interviews, etc, however, Wright never contacted him. He also never sought out Wright in any meaningful way other than fame chasing.

Since then, he has been challenged repeatedly by Collin Fibs and Little Detective. Due to Fib's repeated interference in his need to challenge Wright and his pupils, Adoranz has developed a deep— and cartoonishly evil— need to put Fibs out of commission.

## Trivia

* Adoranz's reason for being envious / living within Edgeworth's shadow was thought of because he was Edgeworth's original design.
* His last name was decided to be Moriarty because we wanted someone who had a name that was 'obviously evil'.
* While making Adoranz's updated design, at first he had a tie rather than a ribbon. This tie would've had a joke where it would roll up to the skull, as though it were a tongue.
