Manfred von Karma: take 2 [4/5]
Personality:
Manfred is cold, calculating, and incredibly ruthless. His self-assured, condescending manner is incredibly aggravating, and it would appear that he has little to no respect for anyone other than himself. He is dead-set on his goals, and will not allow himself to be dissuaded in any fashion. Everything in his life is planned (OCD, maybe? It suits him), down to the amount of time a trial will run ("This trial will be over in three minutes!")...and whenever this plan is disrupted, he becomes incredibly angry and agitated. However, he will recover very quickly, and his quick-thinking will easily enable him to construe another method of attack if his previous one happens to fail.
Despite his cold exterior, it cannot be said that Manfred is entirely without compassion. His daughter's attitude towards him shows that he could not have been overly mean to her, given the vast amount of respect she shows for him, even after his is proven guilty of murder. Miles respects him greatly, as well, even though he was only used by Manfred as a pawn in his revenge against Gregory -- which may show that Manfred might have gained some soft of affection for the boy during the fifteen years they shared together. He has a wife, whom I'm sure he does truly loves, although this love might have been twisted and shattered by his evolution into the crazy sonofabitch we see today.
Manfred is also incredibly strong, and sturdy as a tank. He takes a bullet to the shoulder and never gets it removed, although he did take a vacation afterward to let himself heal. His determination is to be admired, as well, given that he retrains a parrot within a day in order to cover up something the bird had said the day before. Manfred is serious business, guys.
He does not take kindly to fools, and if you don't show due respect to him, it will be sure to some back and beat you down later. In a shocking fashion. Literally. The guy carries a tazer in his blazer pocket, and is not afraid to use it.
Other: ...he's a badass. A cold, ruthless, horrible conniving badass, but a badass nonetheless.

Manfred von Karma: take 2 [5/5]
First Person (entry type):
--tch. To think that I have been degraded to using this...mechanical tomfoolery to speak my mind. An utter disgrace.
...however, I suppose it can be tolerable for the purpose I wish to use it for. After all, a...face-to-face confrontation would not exactly be applicable to a man in my position. I'm sure you know that better than anyone else, Mr. Phoenix Wright? Rather foolish of you to think that you'd be rid of me quite yet, with your charming charades and ridiculous naivete that I will thoroughly enjoy crushing beneath my feet.
...of course, I would not want to rush. This can be saved for another time.
For now, I wish to extend my greetings to all those I may have held contact with before my...incarceration. I do hope our interactions from this point onward prove to be more meaningful and consist of less nonsense dither than they did before. And to those I have not communicated with before and who wish to engage me in conversation...while I will not discourage you from doing so, be aware that I will not tolerate meaningless talk of personal matters or the like. If you have something you wish to say to me, get on with it and spare me the dramatics. I am a busy man.
Third Person: [Set in the aftermath of his trial against Gregory.]
A penalty. A penalty.
He felt his hands quiver and, with a low growl of fury, he lashed out and slammed his fist into the courthouse wall, feeling a dull pain lace up his arm but he ignored it, it wasn't important. No, what was important here was that Gregory Edgeworth was going to pay.
"Foolishness," he muttered, taking slow, drudging steps down the hall towards the building's exit, letting his arm fall down to rest heavily at his side. His fists were clenching, unclenching. Clenching, unclenching. "I am Manfred von Karma. I am perfect, I cannot--I WILL not let myself be sullied by that man--"
...but if he were to be honest with himself, he already was. The Chief Prosecutor had already filed the paperwork for his penalty. It was a dirty word, coiling like black smoke and he waved a hand in front of his face, grinding his teeth in an effort to shoo it away, however intangible it may be. It was dirty. He felt unclean, soiled, blackened by this penalty that draped itself over his shoulders like a cloak, and somewhere in the back of his mind he knew he wasn't thinking clearly, but damn it all if he wasn't listening to that nagging voice at moment.
Everything he'd worked for for twenty five years. A perfect record. Granted, his record itself remained intact. But that little black mark...
Oh, he would get him. He would cover Gregory Edgeworth in black marks of his own, grind him into the ground like the bug that he was and watch him writhe in pain and scream for mercy but, no, Manfred von Karma was too perfect to have the concept of mercy--
--and then the lights went out and the ground shook beneath his feet.
