"Don't worry 'bout me! I'll be dead and gone soon!"
History
Canon
Not much is known about Larry apart from his appearances as a witness (or defendant) in court or during the investigation. He became friends with a boy named Phoenix Wright in the fourth grade, after standing up for him during a classroom trial, in which Phoenix had been accused of stealing $38.00 (a crime actually committed by Larry, who did not admit his guilt or return the money for fifteen years).
Their friendship continued into adulthood, and was brought to a courtroom once again when Larry found himself charged with the murder of his girlfriend. Due entirely to Phoenix's abilities as a lawyer, and with absolutely no thanks to Larry's rather incriminating testimony, Larry was declared Not Guilty, and was able to move on with his life. (It should be noted here that he did not pay Phoenix for his services; after all, they're friends!)
Larry moved from job to job and model girlfriend to model girlfriend seemingly at the drop of a hat. He continued to witness crimes (even if he didn't know what they were at the time) and testify in court on a semi-regular basis, living up to the phrase, "When something smells, it's usually the Butz." His latest job was as a painter, where he insisted everyone call him Laurice Deauxnim. He was on a mountain in the middle of nowhere before Waking.

WAS HERE A WHILE. WENT BACK TO SLEEP. IS STILL SLEEPING. Yeah I'll do this later.
Personality
Very laid back (some would call him a "slacker") and trusting. He's somewhat histrionic; everything is a very big deal, and he's not in the least bit afraid to dramatize. He overreacts to pretty much everything. When someone he cares about is under attack or is spoken badly of, Larry has no problem leaping to their defense, though he usually only manages to make the problem worse. He's a terrible flirt who will do absolutely anything to get a girl to like him, including changing his career/name/wardrobe/outlook on life. Despite falling in love all too easily, he puts his whole heart into it nonetheless.
Abilities
Canon
SURPRISE TESTIMONY. Aside from that, Larry is loyal to a fault, and he sticks with people through everything, even if the person is obviously bad news. He is able to think the best of pretty much everyone. He's stubborn determined enough to do pretty much anything he sets his mind to … as long as it holds his attention. Larry is also a painter, though his skill in that area is debatable.
Nautilus
Vampire: Will do this later.
Forms: Can turn himself into a Cybertronian (that looks oddly reminiscent of a blender) and a skunk.
Relationships
To put in later: Rip van Winkle, Phoenix Wright, Miles Edgeworth, Flonne, Starscream, MOAR.
