Weapon & Majik:
Spear;
A rather simple spear that used to bear his family's former insignia; he's long since scratched it out. A thin chain runs through the inside of it, allowing the midsection to be pulled apart so the weapon can be folded and transported easier.
Light Majik;
By most people, Light Majik is typically deemed useless since it doesn't have the ability to aid anyone physically. When used right, it does have many conventional uses, and, when mastered, it can be quite the tool.
Creation; he's able to generate light in a variety of fashions. The most commonly used is small orbs for convenient, everyday lighting. It takes a bit more energy, but he can generate sudden, bright flashes to stun people momentarily. He can also leave trails from his fingertips - a sort of fluorescent dust seems to follow it.
Absorption; if he's close enough to them, he's capable of absorbing light sources. He can either fully eliminate one, or simply dim the light being projected. To create light, he first has to absorb it, similar to charging a battery. Just being out in the sun is enough to refill his 'charge'.
Illusions; By bending waves of light, he can project illusions for short amounts of time. The more complicated the image is, the more difficult it is to maintain the illusion.

Scars:
At first glance, his skin is flawless. He does, however, have many minor scars from tripping and whatnot in his childhood, as well as a few from fights.
Oddities:
His hair and skin are both very soft to the touch. He takes great pride in his appearance and spends a lot of time making sure he looks perfect.
Personality:
{Conceited, Sarcastic, Cynical, Stubborn, Charismatic}
Atticus has always been very egotistic and haughty, though it's well deserved. He takes pride in every skill he learns and every attribute of his, but doesn't talk himself up above his own abilities. Never once has he doubted or looked down on himself, as he considers any failure or flaw as perfectly natural, something that can be fixed with enough hard work and perseverance. Similarly, he doesn't look down on others for the same reason. If anything, if he sees someone who's struggling with something or someone with an obvious, glaring flaw, he wants to help them. That is, perhaps, the main reason he enjoys his time with the prince, as he wants to help him better himself so he can become one of the best possible leaders for Deamore.
He isn't all nice and supportive, though- within moments of speaking with him, it's easy to tell that he enjoys sarcasm and cynicism. He won't hesitate to throw around what seem to be rude or degrading quips during conversation if he deems them necessary... which he usually does. It's easily noted from his playful tone and the occasional smirk that he's never very serious about what he says. Atticus has the capability of turning his speech right around and becoming a sly smooth-talker when the situation calls. He knows how to sway people's minds and decisions, and can be very persuasive when he wants to be.
When it comes to his goals and decisions, he's adamant about every one of them. If he sets his mind on something, you can bet he'll get it done or get seriously beaten to a pulp, metaphorically or physically, in the process. One of the things that he's notably stubborn about is his protectiveness over the prince and his care for the younger boy's well-being. As such a loyal servant, he'll go to great lengths to make sure that Elliot is safe and content.
ããã
Hobbies:
Skygazing;
His favorite pastime is laying in the grass and watching the clouds roll by.
Puzzles;
He's notably very good at a variety of puzzles, from crosswords to sudoku to actual jigsaw puzzles.
Dance;
Because his parents were always very open and active in the art of dance, he's taken a liking to it. He knows a variety of styles, though swing and street are his favorites because of the loose movements.
Smoking;
He carries a golden pipe with him resembling a kiseru. When stressed or when he just needs a break, he can be seen smoking different varieties of herbs from it with many different effects.
ãããããã
Habits:
Covering His Mouth;
When thinking or laughing, he'll cover his mouth with a semi-closed fist.
Pulling His Hair;
He tugs and pulls at his hair when he's nervous or flustered.
Falling Asleep;
If he isn't actively doing something, he's liable to nod off in the middle of the day.
Touching;
Without even noticing it, he likes to be touching others when walking or sitting, even if it's just brushing their arms or knees together. It used to be much worse, as he would hold people's hands without a second thought.

Polearm Mastery;
Though he's obviously most proficient with a bladed weapon, he's capable of fighting with a blunt one as well.
Light Majik;
It isn't very useful in battle, but he can still use his Majik skillfully.
Lithe;
Because he trains as often as possible, he's very flexible and generally in-shape.
Analytic Skills;
He's proven himself to be a very observant and smart person, able to carefully analyze situations before coming to the best course of action.
Herbal Knowledge;
Because of his mother's profession, he has an extensive knowledge of different herbs, from edible ones to poisonous ones to healing ones.
Weaknesses:
Nyctophobia;
A fear he carried from his childhood. His Majik makes this an inconvenience at most. However, if unable to create light for himself, he'll quickly begin panicking.
Snakes;
He has a deep-rooted hatred for snakes, ever since a venomous one bit him as a child.
Obedience;
Ever since he was young, he's always had trouble following orders. He's learned to respect the prince and princess enough to follow after them, but if anyone else tries to order him around then you can bet he'll fight back in the brattiest way possible.
Children;
No matter what, he'd never be able to bring himself to hurt a child in any way, shape or form.
Elliot & Lisia;
As someone who's served the royal family for his entire life, he has a deep sense of loyalty for the pair and would give his own life before he let anyone harm them.
H I S T O R Y
Atticus was born to a family that had worked under the rule of Deamore's royalty for many generations. His father, Hovannes, was tasked with taking care of the kingdom's archives while his mother, Ermine, worked in the kitchens. His elder brother, Aram, spent much of his time doing odd jobs to rake up extra money for their family. Atticus spent a lot of his childhood shadowing his brother and helping his parents with their work. When he was old enough to begin his education, he found out that it had been decided years prior that he would be training to directly serve the prince. As such a stubborn and egotistic child, he whined about it plenty and put up a fight during his studies. However, he eventually caved, realizing that there wasn't much he could do about it. He eventually grew rather excited about his upcoming duties as the prince's servant because he'd been told about what an important job it would be.
One night without a moment's notice, he was abruptly pulled from his bed by his elder brother. He was too tired to remember, but he vaguely made out the word 'murder' from Aram's frantic rambling. For reasons he was unsure of, he was taken to meet with Elliot and Lisia, as well as two strangers who he soon came to know as Sonia and Lucia Mirakel. Atticus revolted plenty and tried to get his brother to let him stay, but it was no use. He left that night with the small group, utterly infuriated with everyone around him as well as his family. For several long months he resented each of the people he was with, saying that they were the reason he had to leave his family. Despite this, he still begrudgingly did the duties he'd been taught as the prince's servant because he knew it was what his parents would want him to do. It took him a long time, but he finally managed to convince himself that he was being irrational and childish about everything. He saw how the other four were affected as well by what happened, and so he eventually began to let them in and treat them as his new family.
