"I'm the razor-sharp fangs of the Defiant Dragons!"
... Datz Are'bal!
NAME; Datz Are'bal, Ahnon Ihmus (TBD)
AGE; 46 :3 dont he look good for it
HEIGHT; 6'1 bro stop going to jail the lakers need you 😭
datz is the sole right-hand man of the defiant dragons, a revolutionary group in the fictional country of khura'in!
he is ex-military (a former paratrooper) and certified UTTER FREAK!!
"Not all Khura'inese people are like him... I swear."
-quote from dhurke who is being rude as hell for no reason (but like, it's not wrong)when thinking about the datz, there is a few things to note, but most important is that he is an utter freak. i cannot express this enough. you might think "well everyone in ace attorney is a little bit of a freak" and that's true but datz is UP THERE...! it probably doesn't translate well over text, but i'll try.
you meet him inexplicably at the foot of a mountain, and he is not exactly datz. in fact he is amnesia'd. he does not know A Damn thing. he's a shaggy freak who wanders off after making it very clear that he does not know A Damn thing.
then he shows up at the trial (because there's a trial) the very next day as the key witness or whatever despite being amnesia'd and lies the whole time.
this gives the main character a death sentence btw ☝️ but regardless, at his base instincts, when he does not know who he is or what is happening, he shows up to Lie and Fuck everything up and then he Leaves. OKAY
mind you he was in prison for like, a week, so no one knows why he's so fucking shaggy and bearded. he gets clean shaven immediately after this
But that's not the weirdest, at all, it's just your introduction to him. as this amnesiac nuisance who laughs in your face and gets you and your friend a death penalty and then "regains his memory" and runs off. Ok
which btw, he was at the mountain for like, a good reason (escaping prison because he is a rebel and a criminal) but for the longest time he will just insist that he was parachuting around for fun and sport. "oh i wanted to pray away from everyone 'cause i'm... afraid of crowds!" DUDE
non-exhaustive list of shit he does, for no reason;
- assaults phoenix in the middle of the sewers (which leads to the entrance of the defiant dragons' headquarters)
- threatens him with a knife as soon as phoenix wakes up in said headquarters (this is a trick. he is peeling apples. hey, want an apple?)
- threatens him with a knife again, after lying to him Several More Times (this is a trick. he is testing phoenix's loyalty. BUT STILL?)
- tricks phoenix into wearing a moldy old jacket for no damn reason
- gets caught in a doghouse and arrested, overseas, for tresspassing, while fleeing the cops, and hiding in a doghouse
- throws a firecracker at a child, calls his dog a cop, and tries to conscript him into the revolution
- "Knowing Datz, he probably packed his dumbbells in there." ('there' being a suitcase, which he brought overseas. Girl what do you MEAN?)
well, just think of him as a very xD random character with no impulse control
