General Appearance: Atlas is well tempered and well dressed. He never lacks the appropriate outfit to suit the situation, and is manicured to a near fault. Though don't take such nuances as a sign of femininity- oh no- he just wants the last thing you see on this planet to be pleasant. His black locks are a bit feral in cut, but he usually just sweeps them away from his face or pulls them into a ponytail. Atlas has a stalwart nose, thick lips, and vulpine eyes. He is the definition of attractive- but fails to flaunt it in the way that most would in his position.
Defining Marks: Atlas seems to be missing(?) his right eye. He wears a thick eyepatch over it, but it seems to be made of a material that allows him to see out of it- and no one to see in. No one knows what is behind it and he doesn't volunteer the information.
Moral Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Personality: Atlas neither pleasant nor rude. He exists for his job, and therefore inevitably acts the way he feels is expected of him. Unfortunately that leaves him with a conflicted lifestyle. Atlas normally chooses his conversation to be both engaging and controversial. He is eager to pick out the flaws in his fellow Signet plans and offer his own remedies. All the while he will offer ambiguous flirting and somewhat witty humor. Yet no matter how inviting he seems- there always seems to be a buffer between the way he acts and the way he truly is. Some would say that Atlas wouldn't hurt a fly, but then again he has been known to slaughter countless in the name of Signet.
Weapons:
- Thanatos: Atlas's sword. He wears is everywhere on his hip like a monument to his greatness. No one knows where the sword came from but he always has had it. It has a black handle and a long silvery hued blade that his both sharp along the length and pointed.
- The Twins: He wears gun holsters that hold two semi-automatic pistols. While he'll shed them a lot easier than his sword- he still wears them anywhere he might envision danger. This is his first weapon to use, and the same one he'll end with. He also carries enough rounds on him to refill them twice.
Skills:
- Elemental Abilities: Atlas believes more in precision than overkill. He uses his abilities on bullets, his sword, and other's metal weapons. He also uses it as a form of defense, but the particulars of that are a bit blurry around the edges (he doesn't want to give his secrets up). Of course in a last ditch effort to protect himself- he can initiate a sloppy overkill and just set all the metal within a short vicinity of him towards his opponent.
- Swordplay: Though we have entered the age of new technology and mystifying wonders- there is still something to be said about weapon usage. Atlas is a talented sword fighter, and give his stature and athleticism one shouldn't be surprised. Yet it is fair to say that he'll use his ability to reinforce the metal of his weapon to be near unbreakable. While one might think themselves able to conquer his ability- they would have to be faster and stronger than him. Well- good luck with that.
- Ballistics: While no sniper or long-ranged gunman, Atlas is highly aware of wear his bullets are going once they leave the chamber of his gun. Mind you this might also be from his ability, but even without- he usually manages to hit his target. This can also be said for bullets that are being launched at him- if he sees the where the offending gun is pointed- he can usually before the attack.
- Athleticism: Atlas is not built solely for speed, strength, or resilience- but a general mixture of the perks that come from being in tip-top shape.
A Brief History: Atlas doesn't have a sad story to tell you- something that'll tug little tears from your heartstrings. No he has always just existed in the grand scheme of things. It is apparent he is not from the US, but that is as extensive as his background gets. When he entered Signet he had already 'lost' his right eye and so there are no files pertaining to how he exactly came to that juncture in his injury.
Now how he came to exist in Signet is an entirely different story that is ripe for the telling. Atlas is a man that enjoyed a good paycheck, and my my the corporation was paying by the boatloads for people to become loyal agents of their cause. Of course he started in the lower ranks, but he managed to work himself up through diligence and being damn good at his job. You see- Atlas doesn't shirk at the idea of violence inflicted on others for the sake of his job- oh no. Mind you he doesn't wallow in it like some blood lording sadistic prick, but he has steeled himself to the ideal of his job. He believes that Signet is making the world a better place, and through their hand- mankind will flourish from it. They have grown so dependant on it that their lives have become nothing more than what Signet makes it- and currently he sees no one with complaints. He realizes that the Network exists and they have complaints in the droves, but they aren't the masses- and the masses need Signet. Of course for all those painted philosophies Atlas may just like the money.
Inevitably he ended up in the place he is now, and is quite proud of the steps that he has taken to ensure his life thus far. Now don't take his laissez faire attitude to violence and death as a weakness- Atlas will kill you if he has been ordered too. But that is the thing- he works only off of orders and not from his own fortitude. He has found that enacting his own wishes have brought out the worst of him, and a man with that many skills in the art of death- well you don't want to see his demons.
