[i][url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWouAkiNliA]In this world there is no black and white,
I'm told that there will never be a wrong or right,
But is that true?
Should I believe that because others do?

Somewhere deep inside the wheel of fate is turning,
Slowly but surely discerning,
I feel something rare,
And I'm becoming aware

(In this world there is no black and white,
I'm told that there will never be a wrong or right,
But is that true?
Should I believe that because others do?)

What's this passion burning?
Tell me, what's this yearning
For the truth I know I'm meant to find

Cause in my mind
I can't help feeling that this time it's mine

No one else can do it
Somehow I'll pursue it
I won't go the easy way around
And I won't stop
Until the truth's finally found...[/url][/i][url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWouAkiNliA][/url]

Apollo has striking midnight black eyes and average light brown hair that he [i]always[/i] gels into two "antennae" that seem to rise and fall with his mood. His attire simply consists of polished black dress shoes, red suit pants, a white button-up shirt with sleeves folded up just below his elbows, a vest that's red in the front and black in the back, and an aqua blue tie. Finally, he's always seen with his special bracelet: a large, thick gold piece of jewelry covered in ornate patterns on his left wrist.

[spoiler="Spoilers (Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney // Dual Destinies))"] Apollo Justice was born to a singer named Thalassa Gramarye and a stage performer. After his father died in a stage accident a year after he was born; his mother left him in a Los Angeles orphanage, but not before giving him one of her bracelets. Apollo grew up not knowing about his mother, and he came to idolize and respect defense attorney Phoenix Wright for his seemingly impossible turnabouts that always proved his clients were innocent. However, Wright was later disbarred in 2019 following a vaguely reported forgery incident. Nonetheless, Justice worked to become a lawyer like him in order to defend the innocent, just like his idol.

Growing up, Apollo had few friends until a fateful encounter. One night, Apollo had found his classmate Clay Terran crying alone after learning the tragic news. Apollo, knowing how it felt to live without a mother, encouraged Terran to stand tall by yelling, "Clay Terran is fine!" The two soon became close friends, and both shared and talked about their dreams, with Apollo wanting to become a lawyer and Terran wanting to become an astronaut. It was through this friendship that Apollo came to visit the Cosmos Space Center and meet Solomon Starbuck, whom he soon respected deeply for his miraculous mission known as "The HAT-1 Miracle".

Later, Apollo would pass the bar exam and earn his defense attorney's badge. Immediately after, he came to work for Kristoph Gavin's law firm, Gavin Law Offices. Gavin aided him during his first case, in which the defendant was the disgraced former lawyer, Phoenix Wright. The trial was a very standard one until Wright began to accuse Gavin of being the real killer of a man murdered during one of Wright's poker games. With Wright's help, Apollo soon figured out the truth about the case, securing the not guilty verdict and resulting in the arrest of Gavin. After the trial, Wright told Apollo that he had faked a key piece of evidence: an ace of spades with a speck of blood on the front. Horrified and furious that someone he respected would openly admit to forgery, Apollo punched Wright and then left the courthouse, intending never to see Wright again. Gavin Law Offices was consequently dissolved, and Justice was left without work.

Wright had previously invited Apollo to work for the Wright & Co. Law Offices, which he refused. After two months, however, with nowhere else to turn for a job, Apollo reluctantly visited the old firm. He found that it was now a "talent agency" run by Wright's adoptive daughter, Trucy Wright, a girl who had unknowingly given him the forged evidence in his first trial. After some initial confusion, Trucy hired him as the agency's lawyer. Because Apollo had no entertaining talent to speak of, Trucy renamed the agency the Wright Anything Agency to account for his involvement in it, much to his annoyance.

At first, Wright assigned Apollo to three minor, seemingly pointless cases, but he found that all three cases were tied to the murder of a corrupt doctor that had occurred in People Park. Desperate for real work, he offered to take on the resulting case for the defendant, a "gansta" named Wocky Kitaki. With the help of Trucy and Detective Ema Skye, Apollo gathered evidence and then faced off against Kristoph Gavin's brother, Prosecutor (and rock star) Klavier Gavin, in court. After a long and heated battle, Apollo implicated the defendant's fiance, Alita Tiala, as the real killer, and as Klavier began to figure out that Apollo was right, he helped him with the process of proving his claims. Once he secured his not guilty verdict, Apollo wondered whether he had really earned his victory, despite words of congratulations from Wright.

Some time later, Klavier invited Apollo and Trucy to one of his concerts at a discounted price. However, during the concert, a bodyguard was fatally shot, and Apollo once again defended the accused, Machi Tobaye, in court against Klavier. A blind witness, Lamiroir, implicated one of Klavier's band members, Daryan Crescend, as the real killer. While Crescend had set up an alibi for himself, Apollo was able to show that Crescend had set up the crime to throw off the time of the shooting, and that he had been smuggling a Borginian cocoon, which had led to the confrontation that had killed the victim. Lacking decisive evidence, Apollo convinced his defendant to testify to his involvement in the smuggling, proving Crescend's motive and securing another not guilty verdict.

Three months later, Justice participated in a test trial for the Jurist System, defending Vera Misham against the charge laid on her for the murder of her father Drew Misham, with Klavier as the prosecutor. Although Wright promised Justice a "simple" case, the case quickly ballooned into a complex monstrosity, as the murder weapon, a Troupe Gramarye commemorative stamp laced with atroquinine, was tied to Vera's secret life as a forger, as well as the case that had cost Wright his attorney's badge. It was revealed that Wright had continued his investigation into his last case for the past seven years in the hopes of finally discovering the truth and clearing his name.

Eventually, Kristoph Gavin was summoned from his prison in Solitary Cell 13, accused by Apollo of setting up the murder seven years prior. As he and Klavier closed in on the truth, they found that they had no decisive evidence to prove that Kristoph had done the deed. However, they had no need for this under the new Jurist System. As Kristoph utterly broke down upon finding out that the common people would decide the outcome of the case, Klavier and the judge gave their justifications for the new system, though Apollo was rendered speechless. After Kristoph was finally found guilty, Apollo vowed that he would learn what law was for himself, and fight to change it if he had to.

The following April, Apollo stumbled upon a murder scene in the village of Nine-Tails Vale. He agreed to defend Damian Tenma, who had been accused of killing alderman Rex Kyubi, and met up with Athena Cykes, the newest lawyer at the Wright Anything Agency, who would act as his assistant and co-counsel. During this case, the duo met the stalwart detective Bobby Fulbright and faced off against the convict prosecutor Simon Blackquill. Eventually, Apollo and Cykes were able to prove Damian Tenma's innocence by showing that Florent L'Belle was the true culprit. L'Belle planned to pin the crime on Tenma and steal a hidden cache of gold from Kyubi Manor. With L'Belle put behind bars, Damian Tenma was met with a cheering crowd after revealing his identity as the famed wrestler: The Amazing Nine-Tails.

In October, the newly reinstated Wright, Cykes, and Justice went to attend a presentation and mock trial at Themis Legal Academy. It was here that a murder was discovered that matched the exact details of the mock trial, right down to the victim, Constance Courte. Cykes took up the defense of her friend Juniper Woods, who was accused of killing the academy professor. Apollo let Cykes take the helm in this case while he acted as co-counsel. While at the academy, the pair had a run-in with Apollo's old rival, Klavier Gavin, who assisted with the investigation. In the end, Apollo was able to help Cykes uncover the truth and convict Aristotle Means for the murder while also help demonstrate the strength of the friendship between Juniper and her friends Robin and Hugh.

In December, a tragic incident occurred, in which the Cosmos Space Center was bombed and Apollo's best friend Clay Terran was murdered. He took up the defense of his old acquaintance and Terran's mentor, Solomon Starbuck, for the case. However, during his investigation with Cykes, Justice's bracelet indicated that Cykes was lying about various things in the Space Center, particularly about the knife that was used as the murder weapon. Wracked with guilt at the thought that he considered his friend and co-worker to be suspicious, Apollo chose to wear an eye patch to court so he would not be able to perceive any of Cykes's tells. Unfortunately, in the midst of the trial, a bomb was detonated, interrupting the case and injuring Apollo as he attempted to protect Juniper Woods (who had come to watch the trial) from falling debris.

Apollo, who now sported bandaged arms and Terran's tattered jacket, spent the next day investigating as Wright and Cykes defended Juniper Woods in the bombing incident. He visited the remains of the bombed courtroom and uncovered some new evidence, but he was suddenly attacked by Ted Tonate and sent to the Hickfield Clinic. Wright and Cykes were able to prove Tonate's guilt in Apollo's assault and the courtroom bombing. Though many questions still lingered about the nature of the bombing.

Wright picked up the Space Center case from Apollo while he was in the hospital, and continued to gather clues with Cykes. However, in the middle of their investigation, Apollo discharged himself from the clinic and announced that he was taking a leave of absence from the Wright Anything Agency. Wright questioned his reasons, but Apollo would only say that he planned to catch Clay Terran's killer in his own way. Wright eventually proved that an unknown third party had committed the murder of Terran and cleared Starbuck of all charges. However, with this revelation, suspicion was cast on Athena Cykes as the killer and she was taken into custody-- further complicating the case.

Apollo was later seen by Wright questioning Aura Blackquill about the transport of a certain capsule. He brushed off Wright and continued his investigation. Aura Blackquill later took hostages at the Space Center, including Trucy Wright. Her demand was that a retrial be conducted for her brother Simon Blackquill, who was convicted of murder seven years before, with Athena Cykes as the defendant. Wright was able to deduce that neither Simon nor Athena murdered Metis Cykes, but suddenly Apollo stormed into the courtroom just as a verdict was about to be announced. He requested that the trial to find the killer of Terran continue.

Apollo took the stand as a witness and accused Cykes of being Terran's killer. He revealed his suspicions about her from their investigation together. He then investigated the possibility that Cykes was the culprit after leaving the Wright Anything Agency, and came to the conclusion that she was the only possible perpetrator. However, Apollo was not happy about this conclusion, and implored Wright to prove that some other possibility existed so the doubt in his heart could be cleared.

Wright was able to do just that, by proving that a spy known only as "the Phantom", the same person responsible for the incident seven years ago, was the killer of Clay Terran. Wright deduced that the Phantom was none other than detective Bobby Fulbright. Apollo, who was finally rid of his doubt, shed his bandages and joined his friends in court for the final showdown against the Phantom. The spy was finally brought to justice after a long battle, with all three lawyers of the Wright Anything Agency working together. After the case's resolution, Apollo, along with Cykes and Wright, agreed to do his best with his fellow attorneys so that the they could put the Dark Age of the Law behind them. He was later present at the shuttle launch of the HAT-3 project, where he encouraged Solomon Starbuck as the astronaut finally returned to space.

With his best friend's memory honored, his doubts quelled, and the truth uncovered, Apollo truly felt at ease for the first time in over a year...
