CHARACTER
Character Name: Clay Terran
Canon: Ace Attorney (specifically Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Dual Destinies)
Age: 23
Timeline: After his death
Personality:
"Well... if I had to describe him in one word..."
There are many words that could have been used to describe Clay. From biased words such as 'amazing' and 'awesome' to words that really do explain what kind of person he is, such as 'energetic' or 'encouraging'. But Clay was someone that you can't just explain in one word. While they might be similar there are elements of Clay that makes him who he is. Saying that he is energetic or encouraging is only part of who Clay was.
Clay was that kind of person who loved life. He enjoyed his life to the fullest and, for the most part, always thought optimistically and towards the future. There was one thing in particular that he looked forward at and that was his dream. Becoming an astronaut and venturing into space was the one dream that Clay had ever since he was a little kid. He was very passionate about it: going to the GYAXA Space Center, stargazing often, and loving anything that has to do with it. He even looked up to an astronaut named Solomon "Sol" Starbuck; one day even coming to him and asking him about questions often and making it part of his dream to become his protege. Clearly, Clay was someone who lived for his dreams and enjoyed doing so. Also, it's clear from this that Space is his favorite thing in the world. He loved to look at it. He loved to talk about it. He loved to study it. He loved virtually anything about it. Easiest way to get him talking on and on for possible hours? Talk about space.
Due to his cheerful outlook on life Clay was very energetic. He would greet people full of energy and compassion. Not only that but he was also someone who could encourage others to do their best and pick them up when they're feeling down. He was one of those people that, if you were happy about something, he would be happy about it. When his best friend, Apollo, first received his lawyer's badge he was just as happy as Apollo was. Almost as if he was the one who successfully accomplished his dream. Because he was so cheerful about life he would rather look on the brighter side of things than on the darker side. Though, of course, there have been exceptions to this behavior the most noted being when his mother died. But even then he kept it to himself and continued to try and look on the brighter side, only allowing the sadness to show when he thought there was no one around. He kept it to himself until his ever since best friend came to cheer him up.
Speaking of his best friend, Apollo was someone that shaped Clay to how he was after they met. Before their fateful encounter Clay was a timid kid who didn't really speak up. But after meeting and becoming friends with Apollo Justice he became more energetic and outgoing. The two of them had basically "balanced" each other out. Not only did he become more outgoing but he developed some of the same habits that Apollo does. "I'm Fine!" became a trademark thing for Clay to say, using that often to cheer people up and encourage them to do their best or to not give up. The words weren't the only thing he got from Apollo either. Over the years Clay developed a loud voice just like his best friend. And, just like Apollo, he would do vocal exercises in the morning. So much that sometimes it would leave his voice hoarse when he was done. Apollo also helped him strive for his dream by becoming his rival. The two of them competed to see who would make their dream come true first. It was thanks to Apollo that he pushed himself even more so to become an astronaut, taking extra classes in high school and taking the screening exam at the young age of twenty-two.
Although Clay was more energetic now than he was in the past he still held that timid part of him. However, it's not so much that he is frightened or has the lack of courage to speak to people. Instead, around those he doesn't know, he is more polite than when he is with friends. When he's with close friends, such as Apollo and Mr. Starbuck to a small extent, he would joke around and be silly and even go so far as to gossip to them about certain things. But around those who he is not as close to he shows more respect and politeness. Though it doesn't stop him from being loud and have energy behind his words. Though when he is accidentally too loud around strangers or people who aren't use to it he would take the moment to apologize normally in an embarrassed matter. It is time like those, and any other time when he is embarrassed, when he is the most timid.
He warms up to people easily though. As someone who enjoys life to the fullest there isn't much time to really think about a person and whether or not he should actually like or dislike them. So rather than taking the time to do that he's just friendly towards everyone. So while he is very book smart about space and other such things he's a bit naive. He isn't so naive that he'll believe everything he hears but it's a big drawback to being so friendly and warming up to everyone. Because while he's warming up to them he wants to believe the best of them and be on everyone's good side. And if, by chance, there is someone that is really rude and not a pleasant person he will still find some good in them. It is after he can't find any positive things about a person where he will stop warming up to them. But that leaves room for a lot of things to happen.
That said there is one thing that our energetic, outgoing, astronaut does not do: tell people about his problems. This, for the most part, is one thing that didn't shake off him since Junior High. When there is something wrong or something is troubling Clay he tries to keep it to himself. Instead he continues to stay optimistic and full of energy and waits for a time when he is alone to allow himself to be temporary consumed by whatever is bothering him. This is something he is fairly good at as when they were asked about final checks Clay replied in an upbeat manner though he knew that the launch was actually not going to happen. Due to this he is also good at keeping secrets because he's able to keep things to himself. This is why Yuri Cosmos chose to tell Clay about the threat and not Mr. Starbuck who wouldn't have been able to maintain the secret.
There is really only one exception to where he cannot keep his feelings to himself or keep any secrets from someone and that is Apollo. Because of his best friend's bracelet he knows that he can't keep a secret from him. So Apollo is either his to-go person with problems or he keeps it to himself until Apollo is in the vicinity. There are some exceptions to this when he will tell someone else his problem but it depends on the problem and how much it is troubling him. More basic problems are told while more personal problems are held back. When it is a problem that he isn't holding back he would sometimes go around saying "I'm fine!" to himself. Because the phrase "I'm fine!" is a major pick-me-up for Clay is often helps him get over the problem he is dealing with and move on from it. Yelling "I'm fine!" and "You're fine!" back and forth with someone also helps as well.
How Clay feels never stops him from helping others though. Even if it is something that might not be 'right' he will still assist if there is a good reason for it. The biggest example would be when he slipped Mr. Starbuck his medicine so he wouldn't know what was going on. He understood why it needed to happen and was willing to assist in order to save both his and Mr. Starbuck's life. But if someone asked him to do that without a good reason then he'll refuse as without those special exceptions he will not try and harm another person on purpose.
Speaking of harming people: Clay is not fond of knives! More accurately someone with a knife. This reason is fairly obvious and that is because he was just recently murdered by someone with a knife to the chest. In general he does not want to remember his death nor the circumstances around it. If possible he will avoid anything that reminds him of it and steer clear of anyone with a knife one of the several results of his murder. He wants to enjoy the second life he's been given not be constantly reminded that hey, he's dead! There's no going back home or going into space. But regardless of the latter he will still no doubt talk about what his dream was and still enthusiastically talk about space because that is just who he is.
Overall Clay is an energetic, outgoing, individual who loved life and his dreams. He loved talking about space and anything to do with it and spent a lot of his time revolving his life around it. He would always go out of his way to cheer someone up, usually by telling them "You're Fine!" or if it's himself "I'm fine!". Sometimes he found himself keeping a feeling to himself but he always tried to think positively and did his best to keep himself from falling into any sort of negativity. He's friendly to just about anyone unless they are someone that he can't possibly find a good quality about and trusts people fairly easily. So if someone ever needs a pick-me-up or someone who will listen Clay is a good person to go to.
History:
Before Junior High there is little to really know about Clay's life. He had a mother, but during Junior High she died in a car accident. Clay wouldn't show his emotions to anyone though as he was a timid kid and didn't want anyone to see his pain. Instead he would keep them to himself and, when he could, he would go to the schoolyard in the middle of the night and cry then. He didn't think anyone would come and bother him there but one night a fellow classmate, Apollo Justice, had come to the schoolyard and had noticed Clay crying. At first Clay told Apollo to go away but the Apollo had refused. Instead Apollo comforted Clay and from then on the two of them were best friends.
Throughout high school Clay spent a lot of his time with Apollo at the GYAXA Space Center. There they would talk to their role model, Solomon "Sol" Starbuck, about his adventures to space and ask him all sorts of questions. They would also take turns telling him that everything was fine while he's training. The two of them were there so often that they like part of the staff. One day out of the blue Clay even told Mr. Starbuck that he wanted to be his protege. Before the HAT-1 launch a picture was taken of the staff and Clay, thanks to Mr. Starbuck, was able to borrow a HAT-1 jacket and was actually part of the photo. Even while Mr. Starbuck was in space, Clay would frequent the Space Center just to be there, help out, as well as hear of any updates on the mission and wish for a safe landing. When he wasn't doing that, at night, he would go outside and stargaze at the stars. Many of those nights were with Apollo where the two of them would talk about their dreams. Despite how often they did this they had never gotten tired of it. Sometimes those nights stargazing would go until morning before they stopped. Alongside all that Clay took it upon himself to start college classes in his later high school years. Thanks to his extra efforts when he received his high school diploma he had also gotten his associates degree.
During his university years Clay would still frequent the Space Center often as unofficial staff. He had moved on to getting his bachelor's degree, and then eventually got his masters around the young age of 22. When he could he moved out to the edge of the city, though still close to the space center, so he could see the stars easier. At this time he still frequently visited his best friend, Apollo, as during his screenings exam he took the time to help his best friend get back onto his feet after a bumpy first case.
Once he successfully passed the screening exam Clay was accepted as one of the astronauts, the other being Mr. Starbuck, who would fly out to space into the HAT-2. Having officially becoming staff and selected for the mission Clay got his own HAT jacket like the one he borrowed several years prior. Since then he wore it constantly ever looking so proud while doing so. The next one and a half years were dedicated to training for the HAT-2 mission, though it didn't deter Clay from spending time with Apollo and stargazing. Everything was going smoothly-- At least until just before the HAT-2 launch. Yuri Cosmos, the head director of the space center, had gotten a bomb threat by phone. Clay was one of the few staff members Mr. Cosmos confided about the bomb and the plan to avoid getting him and Mr. Starbuck getting injured. Although Clay wasn't happy that his dream has been postponed he understood what he had to do.
The morning of the launch arrived. Unlike Clay, Mr. Starbuck wasn't told about the plan. So in order for the plan to work Clay had to steal Mr. Starbuck's medicine from his locker and slip them to him. Once he did so he brought himself, Mr. Starbuck, as well as a capsule (the Hope Capsule) from the HAT-1 launch to the rocket where he then pretended to be making the final checks before launch. Right after the "final checks" were made the bombs went off and Clay brought Mr. Starbuck, the capsule, and himself back to the Launch Pad 1 lounge. Until then the plan went smoothly; Clay put Mr. Starbuck on the floor and himself laid down to rest. But it was then that the Phantom came in order to steal the Hope Capsule. Clay, being the one holding the capsule, tried to keep the capsule away from the Phantom. He had succeeded as Yuri Cosmos and a detective came to the scene but paid dearly with his life as before Yuri Cosmos entered the scene the Phantom stabbed him with a knife through the chest.

Oh and he can pilot things. Not that it'll do him any good (or any of his "abilities") but something still worth mentioning.

First Person:
I'm Fine! I'm Fine! I'm Clay Terran and I'm Fine!
[ Don't mind him as he continues to try and reassure himself that he is fine. That he's not dead and that he really did walk off a train and found himself in a new place. And that this place isn't heaven or something. It's too... industrial to be any sort of after-life really.
After the last one he takes in a deep breath before bringing his watch closer so you can hear him more clearly. He only has it on voice but if you heard him clearly enough before you already know who he was. ]
So I was wondering. You can see the stars here at night, right? Where is a good place to see them? I'd love to see how they look here and if they're any different from where I am from. Maybe there are even constellations I have never seen before. [ Now that would be a sight! ]
[ ... ]
Er, that is. If you can even see stars here. But stars are everywhere so it would be strange if you couldn't, right?
[ Either way he'll be sad if there wasn't some way he can see stars here. After all this city doesn't seem too populated. So there shouldn't be so much pollution so you can't see the stars at night right? ]
Third Person:
Clay was unsure what to think of this. After all, the last thing he remembered was getting stabbed in the chest with a knife by the Phantom. Normally after something like that there isn't anything else to see or think. Ever. But here Clay is standing on a train platform after coming off a train that he doesn't ever remember boarding.
Because how could he? He was dead before waking up on a train. During the train ride he had to get adjusted; he still felt like there was something in his chest and he felt dizzy. But thankfully he was well enough to walk off the train by the time it arrived at the platform.
He glanced around the platform and immediately realized that he has never been to a place like this before. If there was someplace like this where he lived he never ventured to it. Though to be fair he would rather be looking for a place to stargaze not a train ride. He honestly wasn't too sure if there were trains. Not like the one he had just finished getting off. Now if he had gotten off a space rocket it would be another story. Though at the same time he would definitely know that he wasn't where he lived.
"I-I'm Fine..." Clay spoke to himself trying to reassure the fact. He was about to repeat it when he realized that he had some sort of device with him. He looks at it carefully. It looked like... some sort of communication device? If that was the case then maybe there was someone who could assist him. But... he doesn't want to say anything like 'I died and I'm suddenly here in this new place where am I' because the fact that he died in the first place is still fresh in his mind. And frankly it was something he wants to just try and forget. He was so close to his dream before he was killed and the thought of it made him feel a little ill. Never was he actually going to be able to find himself in space, was he.
He shook that thought from his mind. He shouldn't be taking this second life like that! He should at least try to enjoy it! So he took the moment to walk out of the platform and look around at the city. This place was most certainly not where he lived. But this place couldn't be some sort of after-live either. Not that Clay really believed in the stories of Heaven or Hell himself but certainly those types of places wouldn't look like this. This place ... if it was some sort of after-life it was more like a type of limbo. Not fancy enough to be heaven. But hellish enough to be hell. But enough of the city itself. Rather than looking at the city much longer Clay looked up at the sky. He then smiles lightly because ... he might not be able to go to space again but he can still see space, right?
"I'm Fine. I'm fine. I'm Clay Terran and I'm Fine!" he repeats those words a few times before turning on the watch while saying it one last time. Now he knows what he can talk about. He can talk about what he always loved talking about. Much better than saying he had died.

[ Either way he'll be sad if there wasn't some way he can see stars here. After all this city doesn't seem too populated. So there shouldn't be so much pollution so you can't see the stars at night right? ]
Third Person:
Clay was unsure what to think of this. After all, the last thing he remembered was getting stabbed in the chest with a knife by the Phantom. Normally after something like that there isn't anything else to see or think. Ever. But here Clay is standing on a train platform after coming off a train that he doesn't ever remember boarding.
Because how could he? He was dead before waking up on a train. During the train ride he had to get adjusted; he still felt like there was something in his chest and he felt dizzy. But thankfully he was well enough to walk off the train by the time it arrived at the platform.
He glanced around the platform and immediately realized that he has never been to a place like this before. If there was someplace like this where he lived he never ventured to it. Though to be fair he would rather be looking for a place to stargaze not a train ride. He honestly wasn't too sure if there were trains. Not like the one he had just finished getting off. Now if he had gotten off a space rocket it would be another story. Though at the same time he would definitely know that he wasn't where he lived.
"I-I'm Fine..." Clay spoke to himself trying to reassure the fact. He was about to repeat it when he realized that he had some sort of device with him. He looks at it carefully. It looked like... some sort of communication device? If that was the case then maybe there was someone who could assist him. But... he doesn't want to say anything like 'I died and I'm suddenly here in this new place where am I' because the fact that he died in the first place is still fresh in his mind. And frankly it was something he wants to just try and forget. He was so close to his dream before he was killed and the thought of it made him feel a little ill. Never was he actually going to be able to find himself in space, was he.
He shook that thought from his mind. He shouldn't be taking this second life like that! He should at least try to enjoy it! So he took the moment to walk out of the platform and look around at the city. This place was most certainly not where he lived. But this place couldn't be some sort of after-live either. Not that Clay really believed in the stories of Heaven or Hell himself but certainly those types of places wouldn't look like this. This place ... if it was some sort of after-life it was more like a type of limbo. Not fancy enough to be heaven. But hellish enough to be hell. But enough of the city itself. Rather than looking at the city much longer Clay looked up at the sky. He then smiles lightly because ... he might not be able to go to space again but he can still see space, right?
"I'm Fine. I'm fine. I'm Clay Terran and I'm Fine!" he repeats those words a few times before turning on the watch while saying it one last time. Now he knows what he can talk about. He can talk about what he always loved talking about. Much better than saying he had died.
