Cetus, a freshwater mer with gigantism.
Age: young adult
World: Jordh
Timeperiod: Modern time, 2020's
Personality: Childish and willful. Very sensitive. If he's around people he likes he can be relaxed and amiable. He's tactile which can be an issue due to the size difference.
As a freshwater mer he's very sensitive to the mood and energy of others. If he's met with nervousness or frustration, he'll be stressed or agitated. He'll then engage in behaviour such as chewing on things, flicking his fins or tail, fidget with things. Or people if they're not calm and assertive with him. Which can be quite problematic.
Gigantism: Due to a genetic mutation, Cetus has a very special case of gigantism. He'd be growing indefinitely if not medicated monthly. There's a slightly more elaborate answer about it in this post.
Background: As a baby, his parents left him with humans as he was growing too big too fast due to his gigantism and they didn't know what else to do. At the time humans didn't know much about freshwater mers either as they are elusive (and dwindling in numbers). Initially it didn't go very well with the humans failing to properly handle the young mer. And the trial and errors with medications to stop the growth led to him feeling quite sick. It all led to a young Cetus escaping the humans for a while. He was later found and lured back into a bay where he's still kept. The humans that work with him have a better understanding of him now so it's easier for both parties.

Communication: Due to his gigantism, the membranes in his syrinx (that produce sound) have thickened so much they can only produce a deep rumble, leaving him unable to speak mer or human language. There's still variation to his rumbles; ones that resemble thunder to ones so deep the human ear can't hear them (but oh can you feel them vibrate through your bones).
Senses: Cetus has low vision in both of his eyes so he often keeps the nictitating membrane (third eyelid) over them to focus on his other, much stronger senses. He also has electroreception which is very keen. It allows him to sense electric currents, meaning he can detect muscle contractions, like heartbeats, twitches etc. All this gives him an uncanny ability to now exactly where a person is and if they're calm or not. It doesn't help with inanimate objects however.
Scars: The scars along his sides and back are from motorboat propellers. Freshwater mer rubs their bodies against eachother as a sign of affection. Given his size, Cetus struggles to satisfy this instinct properly so he'll rub against the objects that "his" humans are on. If they're on a boat and the engines are running... welp.
Also freshwater mers live in pairs, which can be romantic or platonic. So Cetus is quite lonely, often staring out at the open sea.

"benedick and beatrice are t4t" I say into the mic.
The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.
"They're right," they say. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 5th row stands: David Tennant.

Minor headcanon: Anthony/Angel and Molly were both born with albinism. Their father had a family history of it, so thankfully he didn’t suspect their mother of being unfaithful, but it did get them a lot of (mostly) unwanted attention from their peers and colleagues. A lot of jokes were made about being the “white sheep” of the family due to their parents’ and brother’s darker coloring, as well as the fact that neither of them ever quite fit in. Angel's vision in his left eye was particularly bad, almost to the point of legal blindness, which helped him get out of having to serve in WWII and is later reflected in his demon form.

i'm not often fond of the takes people who dislike Nahyuta have on his character (though i can certainly agree his writing is not Great. like objectively) but there was this one Nahyuta disliker on Reddit who was fuckin cookin when they said that Nahyuta should've been nicer/less cutthroat in the US trial segments.
(from u/Black_Griffin23)
i actually think that's a brilliant idea. he doesn't have to be /nice/, he can still be a dick, but i think it's interesting to have him be much less aggressive about "sins" and hating defense lawyers n stuff in the US, because it would add to the shock value of how cruel Khura'in is when you see him again in 6-3 and he's so fucking awful, way worse than he ever was in the first case you meet him, because that's what's expected of him out here. it would also be a decent way to show that things aren't quite what they seem with him, which you don't really get beyond some very basic "he and Apollo have some sort of background together" until 6-5.
also hot take i actually think 6-2 and 6-4 should switch places in the story. i know it'd be kinda rough to have Apollo only see Nahyuta again right before Turnabout Revolution but i also think it'd work with some tweaks. Nahyuta maybe expressing disappointment that Athena Cykes is the one defending Bucky in the new "6-2" because he was expecting someone else. you see the photo of Apollo and Nahyuta in 6-3 and it's like. ah. why is Apollo here? what's their history...? is this who Nahyuta was hoping to see? and then they FINALLY meet in the new "6-4", Apollo confronts Nahyuta at the end like he does in Magical Turnabout and Nahyuta expresses some discomfort, but is still coldly hostile otherwise, but it's clear he's hiding how he really feels. he can still basically tell Apollo to fuck off, but in a more "let it be, there's nothing either of us can do" type way.
sort of like how Edgeworth tells Phoenix to leave him tf alone after... what is it, 1-3? because he's making Edgeworth question a lot of his beliefs and it's becoming uncomfortable and unbearable. you could do that with Nahyuta since he's supposed to be a new take on Edgeworth anyways.
Nahyuta takes his time in international cases to properly hone his skills, but re-encountering Apollo (and dealing with Athena) starts to show him just how fucked his job in Khura'in really is, just how far he's strayed from the original vision, and now he's struggling to keep the guilt at bay. Apollo brings up all these old and unpleasant feelings he's kept hiding, and it's starting to unravel him bit by bit. them, you see him really struggle in 6-5 because of Dhurke, and it all unravels more, making the story and character development flow a bit better.
idk, i just think this would work a bit better and make his redemption at the end feel less last minute.
