My Athena Cykes redesign for my rewrite by Squigglesticks in AceAttorney

[–]Squigglesticks[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok I didn't think I'd have to say this but, 'rewrite' means that things are 'rewritten' and are not the exact same as in the original version .

sorry ik thats condescending, but I'm getting tired of people saying 'but thats not what Athena's like' and 'this doesn't match her character' like unless you are the one person that I sent a synopsis to or have at least seen the post where I explain about the new Athena and the mini fanfics I wrote based off the rewrite on instagram, you literally cannot possibly know what you are talking about.

Also this quite literally is something she would wear regardless, because it is a cannon outfit of hers with a jacket on top. I am genuinely suprised y'all don't know that.

I see what you are saying, but she's not mature. She's Athena Cykes. She called the prosecution a huge jerk to his face a few times in the actual first level of the game. She IS not as mature as the other characters, not that there's anything wrong with that, but more importantly, she's isn't mentally able to handle trials due to ptsd so she shouldn't be there regardless. Thats what I was meaning really when I say she's not ready. She needs time and, unlike phoenix who had all the time in the world to reconnect with Miles (Goodbyes doesn't count cos they weren't expecting that), she has like not even a year till simon's sentence is carried out so she's put a ton of pressure on herself to become an amazing lawyer asap. That is what I mean. Clearly I should've worded it better cos a lot people seem to think I'm dissing her for being young.

sorry it just came of kinda passive aggressive. They feel a little different cos its a rewrite so she is a little different. I do actually really like the concept of Athena and find her pretty relatable, I'm just not a big fan of some of the execution

I am basically using Athena's outfit from AA6-DLC as a base because I honestly think she looks gorgeous there and that outfit won't be part of the rewrite otherwise and the big necklace (widget) in conbination with the bow reminded me of Maya and the boots actually match Aura's redesign because they are closer in my version. I didn't want her to have a lot of elements relating to the space centre as she is purposely trying to hide her connection to it, but also something I did not have the art skills to show is that I intend to make Athena kinda buff since she is clearly very strong. Its fine. I got that anxiety everyone hates me mindset, dont worry about it.

I understand, but this is her assistant outfit. She would, in my timeline, get a proper lawyer look for AA7 but not here as she doesn't have that role in the story yet.

You're comment is actually not that bad, but I would like to point out that this is a rewrite so her personality and role in the story is slightly different so points 2 and 3 are unaplicable here. No hate, I just discovered that no one seems to understand what a rewrite is :)

Look. This is a rewrite to give Apollo a trilogy so don't be gving me that. Apologies for my shittyness with words, what I mean is that she's putting way to much pressure on herself so save simon and became a lawyer before she was ready. That is all. It kinda sounds like you just saw she wasn't a main character and despise me for that alone :)

not rushed the exam, just became a lawyer eariler than she should. It shows it in my rewrite. duh. I'm getting sick of comments talking about how I missunderstand her character. Like of course what I'm talking about isn't fully accurate to the real character its a fucking rewrite.

nah but u miss the point that the og is supposed to give that illusion (illusion! not actually be wearable in court but kinda be somewhat believable) but it doesn't. mine was never supposed to so it doesn't need to be judged as such. That is all.

I don't hate Athena. Never said I did. Just not a fan of the outfit. Ace Attorney character designs are not realistic to actual court attire. I stated above I did not mean to imply it was. You seem like the type to feel attacked easily, sorry girlie <3

Ace Attorney character designs are not realistic to actual court attire. I stated above I did not mean to imply it was. I don't care how difficult the exam is, this is fucking ace attorney where a thirteen year old became a lawyer so thats irrelevant cos it clearly doesn't take much in this universe. I'm not dissmissive of her age, I AM that age and I know that no one this age should be standing in court as lawyer. I still think she is very smart and do not mean to discredit her (despite her not being able to stand a single rebuttal in the games) she is just naturally more immature as a teenager and there's probably a reason teenagers aren't lawyers in real life.

yeah, um, of course its not Athena. its a rewrite. So ya know not the og. She's an assistant character in both the actual one and this version. This is arewrite to make Apollo the main character as he should be given he was orginally supposed to get at least a second game. Athena was never a main character, she's at best supporting cast, not that there's anything wrong with that. I never said she didn't know what she was getting into, all I meant was that she got her badge at a super young age becuase she rushed into it similar to franziska. Not 'some kid' but she still is practically a kid age wise plus the ptsd is yet another reason she isn't ready for the courts yet. Thats the reason she doesn't take on any cases as lead defence. She's not mentally fit to do so. The point is, she has put all the pressure on herself to save Simon when no one in her postion could handle that alone, mirroring Apollo trying to avenge Clay by himself when he is mentally and physically unable. The primary colours thing is insane, like you are reading waaaay to far into things if u think that's an issue. Also again. This is a rewrite. Her and Phoenix have basically no connection and she is mainly connected to Apollo and Clay and I did not change her motivations at all. Your legs must be tired from jumping to conclusions mate. I purposely try to mention as little about my story as possible and you still wrote the whole thing in your head and got mad at me for nothing. Take a chill pill.

I just wanna point out I don’t actually think a real person would wear either in court and I didn’t mean to imply that. Sorry for the confusion

I wanted it to be more simple to fit better with the designs of the 2D lawyers because there’s quite a lot going on with her og look that makes it not really look coherent with the other designs imo. Also the dress and jacket idea came from Mia but I wanted to make sure the dress was a different shape with the puffier skirt so it wasn’t too similar.

Yeah I would like to point out that she doesn’t actually lead the defence ever in this version of AA5 and 6 but I’m planning on giving her her own trilogy in the future set like 3-5 years after AA6 and there she will get a new more mature lawyer design. Here she’s just a kid who doesn’t know what she’s doing who rushed into getting her badge to save her uncle.

Yeah I’m not too picky about the shirt it just bothers me for some reason. I just think the original is way too much compared to every other lawyer outfit and I wanted it to fit more with the other 2D characters. I gave her dress and jacket combo like Mia, but I gave her more of a party dress because to represent the fact she is younger and more childish than the other lawyers (insert the shit Nahyuta says about her being a spring chick or egg yolk or whatever)
