Ross Moebus

Ross Moebus is a witness in Turnabout of the Elements. He works at the Paville Psychology Research Institute as a test subject for Nick Johnson, and also in a "jack-of-all-trades" capacity.

Personality
Ross suffers from generalized anxiety disorder, and is consequently taking lorazepam. On the stand, Ross has shown himself easily startled by some of the court's more eccentric personalities, such as Edogara Haka, as well as abrupt changes in topic. He has done a relatively good job keeping it together when the defense informally accused him of the murder of Alexandra Kranf. There have been hints of a tendency to respond angrily when pressed too far.

Background Check
''Ross Moebus was born in Japanifornia and hasn't moved from the house where he grew up. He joined Paville staff about a year ago, and has been in Mr. Johnson's research for three months. Employers state that he's a diligent, competent worker, but not otherwise exceptional. Coworkers agree with this description but add a tendency to panic, and a general aloofness in conversation. Medical history shows a diagnosis of severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Moebus has been medicated for this, having been on lorazepam for some time, as well as a couple of other drugs. Doctor reports a spike in anxiety coinciding with the start of his entry into Mr. Johnson's testing, but the nature of the testing is yet unclear. No criminal history. Financial history is troubled, due to medical expenses and contributing to a family debt, but shouldn't be anything to worry about. Moebus's family debt is legal fees for an uncle who was convicted of extensive involvement with the black market. This debt will likely remain for a couple of years. IQ testing has not been conducted, though interviews with teachers suggest that he struggled with mathematics, and was smarter than he let on, but hardly a criminal mastermind.''

''On account of this Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Moebus's doctor has requested the defense not press him too hard, as detrimental to his mental health. She does not believe this will solicit misremembered testimony unless defense goes to extremes. Her note is attached.''
