PS: To some of you, do not expect to show up in the first chapter. I need to get the plot done for it first.
Note regarding that: Yeah... To be honest, I was going to call it Court Records U or something of the like, it'll be named when it comes up... I think. But nonetheless, sorry about that, Ami! It was an idea I was considering because of the fact that we all did indeed meet here in CR. So I decided: Why the hell not? I'll make us college classmates somehow!
Cast:
Keisuke Takazato (Only person alive who works on both sides of the court as a defense attorney and prosecutor. Well-known in the law and speedster worlds. Rumored to be a legendary racer known as the Black Pressure, his identity anywhere is questionable due to his mysterious nature. If he does something, he does it right.)
Ryo Shinzou (Private Investigator who is part of Keisuke's racing group, called the Midnight Pressure. Only person who knows the fact that Keisuke is indeed the Black Pressure. Has a knack for finding business for Keisuke on the spot.)
Regal Takazato (Chief of Police. Also Keisuke's father. Taught Keisuke everything he knows. He is the only person who knows when his cases are beforehand.)
PS: I've gotten permission for the following characters:
Tajiri Ami (An Attorney other than KT who has faced the PW/AJ prosecutors and deliberately maimed Payne's pride and shattered his ego upon first meet.)
Eagle Skye (The inquisitive yet cautious youth who rivals Gustice in just about everything except interrogation.(Note: he is the detective in the series) That he excels at farther than anyone else.)
Kai Crimson (An attorney from a foreign nation. She is rather shy, but when things go down in court, she steps up. Currently Studying under Keisuke Takazato.)
G. Gustice (Youngest character in the series. Also the most mature and mysterious as to what real motive he has to being an attorney.)
Sierra Arroyo (Attorney who specializes in grilling witnesses and her own clients. Gets a major kick out of pissing Keisuke off.)
Saori Shinjiro (Kai's assistant. Rather worried about the burgers that somehow come to life in her presence, she goes everywhere with her, making sure she doesn't freak out. She is also specialized in perceiving liars. She studies law and interrogation under KT.)
Alex Trugh (Defense Attorney who had at numerous instances fought with KT as both ally and rival during investigations of mafia-related crimes. Only person who has fought against him and not gotten injured... enough to matter.)
Ghaleon Von Karma (Genius of a Defense Attorney. Like KT and Ami, he has tormented Payne quite horribly during his first case. Unlike the two, he is rather serious all the time, but has a good heart. He still takes after Manfred in the sense that he can mock you in five different languages and you still won't notice till after.)
And an extra special thanks to the people of C6 for allowing me to use their awesome jokes in my omake. (Once the omake with them IN IT come out.)
By sprite owner:
Lord Nathaniel (Nathaniel's character is still under some construction, yet I already have a small idea on how to do it. What kinda person he is still undetermined...)
Suihou (Currently Keisuke's assistant and maid in the office. She does things to the letter and has a habit of perfection although she never shows emotions toward her actions. However, if KT wants her to go undercover, she does so without a word of rebuttal, considering she used to do that in a former job as assassin.)
By request:
Tooth_Paste_Kisses (Gustice's wife at the time. She married early at the age of 21.)
MikeMeekinsFan (Aviv's assistant and girlfriend. Apparently, the two have been together since high school according to Aviv. Keisuke still contradicts that.)
I need moar. Help this creativity-starved idiot make moar! Moar characters I can use, moar manga can be made!
Note: I can probably stick most of you on the first chapter. I think I already got the idea on how.
I'll have an Extras section for pilot manga/omake. If anyone wants to contribute link me to the comic strip, and I'll put it as either omake or canon manga. Let's make this where everyone can help. That way, it may allow us to sharpen our creativity in order to allow us to make a better comic in general.
Or you can call me lazy. Either way, it's cool.
Side Stories: (AKA: Stories that will be regarded as such until I link each one from earlier made to later made.)
A note on the Side Stories. I am putting a couple more side stories to Turnabout Legends. So they'll be labeled as Turnabout Legends: (insert title here.). Thank you for reading.
Turnabout Legends: Steel Crow
Explanation: It's my idea of putting Iron Man and King of Fighters, then smashing them together to form the Steel Crow. You can tell when looking at how KT looks under the suit and in casual clothing... of course that wasn't exactly what I'd have kept it at. Terry owns, but I still would bet my money on someone who hits more like a brick.
First Page
On the Second Page, try to scope out the traits of the characters listed in the Characters Used column, it should be fairly visible.
Second Page
Third Page
(SC will remain a side story as of now.)
Turnabout Legends: Access To Apocalypse (Currently Under Construction. Possible release: Fall Semester) In order to put an end to the Across the Legends: Turnabout Legends series, I just want to flat out cause chaos in my own manga, thus making it a rather strange twist in things. Main character will change, and things will be much more different. All I will say in order to not spoil things is that time will be ripped a new one along with space.
Cover Art: Cover Page (A note. The Main Character is a fusion of Ragna the Bloodedge and Sol Badguy. Keep that in mind.)
Extras (Canon Manga):
Pilot First Page
Sorry about that, Skye. I didn't think this to be a good start for the manga, the transition didn't work out according to my plan.
School. Where rivalries begin. I have high regards towards Ghaleon Von Karma's character and thus decided to put the easy going yet cool Keisuke rivals to the tough resolved and serious Ghaleon. Let's see how that unfolds...
Extras (Side Stories):
Steel Crow & Silver Maiden
Possible New Plot Twist...?
Extra Artwork:
Fighting God Keisuke
Sketch for MikeMeekinsFan
Universal Role Play character. This is to be used as a brief description of my character in the Role Play threads that involve using the whole badass thing. Keep that in mind.
Three Generations of Blood Savior Take a look. The Blood Savior has three generations as of now. But who is the third...? (Also note that I made them in their "Blood Messiah" mode. I'll explain it later when I've introduced Access to Apocalypse's first page.)
Kai x Keisuke/Seigi x Kurenai (double pairing... or could it be past and future?)
Many Smiles of Seigi
Omake:
Wrong end of the SHOOPDOKEN
Aviv, this is a way of saying: Inspiration comes from randomness.
Burritos. Never safe.
I figured I'd have Arc System's two main characters get owned at the same time. While eating burritos.

Guys, it's been awesome that you all have been keeping up so far. I'm honored that you even bother to look at my stuffs without being negative on it. Like I said before, Constructive Criticism is greatly appreciated. And I might be doing some pairing arts for the manga. Any suggestions with the characters so far?
Want to see more of my art? Older stuff and the whatnot lie here: Hadou's DeviantArt
UPDATES:
5/22/08 - Sprite request issued in the sprites thread. Check it out sometime.
5/29/08 - Currently issuing two pieces now. Whether they are part of the canon manga or the side story is up to me. Also: One of the two pieces issued during issuing periods could also either be Omake or Extra Artwork. Feel free to browse them sometime. Fan art will be posted upon reception.
6/2/08 - I am still in need of someone to sprite KT. Any takers can post here: Good Old Hadou's Search For A Sprite
6/7/08 - Spriting Contest: Whoever makes the best sprite/sprite sheet (whichever) gets to request a drawing of any of the characters of the manga, even their own OC. The character in mind is the main character, Keisuke Takazato. Editing as is follows:
Cross instead of G (see manga cover), Black hair, plain black shirt (keep the style), black sunglasses
I eagerly await to see who can oust the rest, good luck!
6/10/08 - Sprite contest rules posted in response to a question from Ghaleon Von Karma.
Rules:
Check the Manga's first chapter cover art. That will be your reference for the time being. Also: To those spriting HoboZato, front/side sprites will be requested, same with the standard version.
You may make any type of variation you wish. Whether it's styled after a fighting game, or whatever. Doesn't matter as long as it fits the criteria.
I will be evaluating every sprite made in case I see a bit of oddities (meaning errors in certain sprites)
Facial expressions are as you choose. If you want to make him look (expression-wise) like Phoenix or Edgeworth, it's all up to you.
Color Schemes:
Standard: black shirt, black hair, slightly tanned skin (Klavi-style, making things easier), sunglasses color is up to you.
Hobo: gray sweater, black strokes, black beanie with a CR button (see how Ami's hat is drawn in the manga) CR button colors are your choice. Choose wisely for your choices, they will affect my judgment.
All other variations: Be creative. But do not forget to at least keep a similarity in the hair, because it won't be as simple to tell. (But you may make it like Adelheid's. Actually, it's suggested.)
Good luck, and godspeed to the lot of you!
And a boot to the head.
PS: I am currently thinking of a deadline. Meaning every one of you has plenty time till further notice. I will gladly acknowledge efforts put into the sprites such as: animations, sheets. There is no minimum requirement besides a selected pose. I will not ask much of everyone because everyone has their own agendas and I wish not to interfere.
If you are interested, PM me, thank you.
6/15/08 - Sklarvv has resized and darkened some of the pages. 1-5 have already been done. Give her some <3. Also: I am looking for staff members to help me out here. I could use whatever help I can get, lolz
7/1/08 - I will be at Anime Expo and will not be active for 5 days. Please keep that in mind, okay?
7/8/08 - I am back and have been inspired to make a new story. Watch for transitions and keep a close eye out. I'll make attempts to link the stories together eventually, and I want you all to watch out for them. It may make things more interesting than beating up Payne simply because he's annoying.
Also: I may not post more stuff until the Fall Semester, so there'll be more updates for the Steel Crow/Access To Apocalypse stories. But chances are, I'll wind up working on Turnabout Legends just to make sure the stories link as well as I intend them to.
1/19/09 - Manga Reset. Staff needed. HALP
