Hello all! I'm IKG Productions, the leader of Team Turnabout! We produce a non-profit Ace Attorney fan series on YouTube called The Shield of Justice! You can find information regarding the project in the biography section. The Shield of Justice has already started production and we have finished and released several episodes of the show. Fortunately, the project has several voice actors casted already. However, we are in need of many more actors for upcoming roles, both in the near and distant future. And so, we've turned to Casting Call Club!
My goal with the character descriptions is to be as clear and concise as I can be in estimating when the following characters are expected to be used in The Shield of Justice. On the whole, we are looking for dedicated participants who are willing to stick with us patiently and potentially wait for a long time to act their character. Please note that side content with no restrictions placed on canonical stories, such as Asinine Attorney episodes, may open up opportunities for some actors earlier than expected. Voice acting for TSoJ is not a large amount of work, as once a character is introduced in the story and begins to receive lines, the chosen actor will be given ample time to get their lines in with breaks between episodes, often by a couple months or more. The Shield of Justice is a complicated project with a lot of moving parts, but voice acting for the project won't be much work for one person. This is why we value commitment, patience, and communication so much!

Athena Cykes is one of the four main protagonists of The Shield of Justice. She is the lead character of Case 3 (Episodes 5, 6, and 7).
