Atlas is a tech-savvy freelance informant and amateur infiltrator operating in the underground. His work typically takes place in proximity to Chitose, a well known crime boss, as she routinely hires his services. Atlas himself, even though he has his favorites, has no permanent loyalties to any one client, meaning that while most of the information he obtains is kept private, some things are up for grabs at the right price. 

While he is thorough with all of his assignments and most of his clients are generally satisfied with his performance, his inability to commit to a single entity causes people to be wary of him. Though, this wasn't the case when he was hired onto a long-term assignment by an overly self-assured business tycoon named Kentaro and his motley crew, who had no qualms about letting Atlas get close with them. 

Atlas ultimately becomes a permanent part of Kentaro's team and comes to consider them his family.

Romanticizer of melancholic solitude
Morally gray, Social chameleon, Sly.

Atlas is a natural loner, feeling the most comfortable being alone, or with a select few individuals. In his everyday life, he's rather monotonous and has never been the one to take the lead in relationships and conversations, and instead listens and observes. He is aware of the fact that his dull personality and propensity for solitude can be off-putting, so he usually puts on a façade and acts pleasantly and overly-agreeable with people. He has always struggled with identifying his own wants, needs and individualism, and due to his upbringing, he finds expressing his real emotions to be difficult. To mitigate this, he keeps his distance from others as to not have to explain himself or his feelings. He does not particularly deal well with heavy emotions and finds it hard to comfort others, even with those important to him. He used to have a low tolerance for things he disliked, and would anger quickly, but has learned to control his temper over the years, subsequently making himself someone that is hard to read, which has worked in his favor due to the line of work he opted into. While working as an informant, he is able to adapt to situations quickly and smoothly, unlike in his personal life where he is quite clumsy and comical, especially in social situations. His blank-slate personality allows him to do whatever the job requires. He can be charming when needed and is great at leading conversations and getting people to trust him and divulge information without revealing much information about himself. He is very persuasive and knows what people want to hear. He has a quiet confidence in his work, but does not take unnecessary risks, knowing when to stop prodding at people before suspicion arises. While atlas is usually calm and collected,  he can harbor grudges from time to time and doesn't hesitate to make it known when he's done playing nice, not hesitating to get physical if it means his life is on the line. He does have his own moral standards that he abides by despite being a freelancer. Due to his analytical nature, Atlas is quick to judge people, but tries his best to keep an open mind. He ultimately likes to keep his personal life and work separate, so while his job may be action packed, he prefers his home to be a quiet place where he can escape and enjoy his hobbies, but sometimes keeping the two apart is impossible.

Relationships

 

Kentaro . Lovers


Kentaro hired Atlas onto his workforce to replace a previous employee that was responsible for digital information gathering and hacking. Atlas knew vaguely of Kentaro and some of his operations due to previously working with Chitose, Kentaro's sister, so he had no issues accepting the job. Because of Atlas' noncommittal nature, the contract between them was only to be short and temporary, but Kentaro kept piling on tasks to keep Atlas around for longer than initially agreed upon. Kentaro had an immediate attraction to Atlas, which he tried to hide, but because of his dense personality, ended up making unintentional inappropriate comments and physical gestures towards Atlas about his dress and physique that would be considered harassment. With this, Atlas, who usually tries to avoid confrontation with his clients, found himself arguing with Kentaro often, unable to ignore his offensiveness. He was eventually tipped off by one of Kentaro's other employees, Saturn, that the only reason Kentaro harps on him so often is because Kentaro genuinely likes him, something that Atlas hadn't considered, and something he tried to avoid when working. Atlas would subsequently try to implement boundaries between them as to not make things awkward, but this didn't last long as an incident incurred where Atlas had to pose as Kentaro's "girlfriend" for a handful of intel occasions, much to his dismay.  Eventually, this farce ended, but Kentaro's feelings had grown stronger through the duration of their fake relationship, leading to him propose that they should pursue a real romantic relationship. Atlas immediately turned Kentaro down, and to effectively distance himself from that situation, he formally ended his contract with Kentaro and went his separate way. 

One day, after months of no contact, Atlas contacts Kentaro as a last resort after being attacked and needing help. He was heavily injured from the ordeal and had no other connections he could trust at the time. Kentaro did not hesitate to help and even put Atlas up in a private hospital room. Atlas was suprised that Kentaro was so eager to help him with how things ended between them.  Kentaro spent a lot of time watching over Atlas while in the hospital, and even allowed Atlas to stay in his home for security reasons while he healed. Atlas made it clear that he still had no intentions of dating Kentaro, and Kentaro respected his boundaries. Over time, Atlas learned that even though Kentaro seemed rough and insensetive on the outside, he had his own ways of showing kindness that had previously been lost on him. While staying at Kentaro's home, the two of them grew to understand each other more, and Atlas developed a new sense of admiration and romantic feelings for Kentaro. On numerous occassions Atlas attempted to communicate his feelings and seduce Kentaro, but Kentaro's dense nature,and committment to their boundaries caused him to miss multiple cues.  Atlas eventually outright confessed his feelings, leading to them officially establishing a romantic relationship. Consequently, Atlas continued to work with Kentaro towards his endeavors as his full time informant. 

 
Atlas taking control.

In the beginning, they have a love-hate relationship, tending to bicker with each other due to their vastly different opinions and mindsets. Atlas is more of a non-conformist and reclusive person, while Kentaro is old-fashioned and lacks a sense of personal space. Due to the contrast, Kentaro often makes offputting remarks about Atlas' clothing and lifestyle. Atlas at first saw Kentaro as a washed up old man with outdated views, but was surprised to see he was caring and often kind and thoughtful with his employees, though his words didn't match his actions. While dating, they often spend time together, whether at work or at home. While Kentaro likes to have dates with Atlas outside of the house, Atlas enjoys more inside activities. Kentaro loves to shop and buy clothes for Atlas, to the point where Atlas gets tired of it, but does it only to please Kentaro. Even though Atlas has more sexual experience, they are both new to having a strong romantic connection, causing both to be flustered at times. In the beginning of their physical relationship, Atlas does however lead most of their sexual encounters. As time goes on, Kentaro does take the lead more, but they both have an equal balance when it comes to night-time activities.

Style
  • General clothing preferences: Atlas' style is a light mix of casualwear, light techwear and workwear. While Atlas usually wears a wide range of different clothing for disguises and to adapt to different jobs, he personally enjoys wearing slim fitting and flattering shirts with baggier fit pants such as cargo pants, joggers and straight leg jeans. Even under his jackets, he is usually wearing mock neck and close-fitting crew neck shirts. He also isn't averse to showing skin from time to time, so he will sometimes also wear crop tops, shirts with mesh embroidery and completely sleeveless shirts. His shoe ware of choice usually consists of combat or hiking boots, low top athletic sneakers and the occasional skateboard style shoes. For formal events, he often keeps to turtlenecks and button ups with tailored slacks. His clothing generally is dark and neutral colored as to keep from being too flashy.
  • Wardrobe, amount of clothes they own, how often do they buy clothes: Atlas buys clothes very often, having to adjust his style to conform to the groups and people he works with to make himself seem more convincing. He owns a few outlandish costumes and dresses.
  • Work clothes, leisure clothing, special work items: Atlas' work clothing and day-to-day outfits are generally well coordinated, while his leisure clothing is usually more relaxed. For leisure and sleep, he wears looser fitting clothing, and isn't so strict about the coloring, having some lighter colored pieces for bedtime. For work, he sometimes brings a crossbody or leg bag to hold his computer, documents, tools and weapons when required.
  • Piercings, tattoos and body modifications: He doesn't have any piercings or tattoos, avoiding them as they could make him more easily identifiable in work situations. 
  • Jewelry and accessories: On his own accord, Atlas wears minimal jewelry, often times a single chain necklace or watch, which could either be a smart watch or a normal analog watch. 
  • Some optional/circumstantial/time dependent design features: Atlas dyes his hair from time to time, wears colored contacts and does his own make up when needed. Later in the story, after sustaining an orbital injury from a captor on the job, he often wears an eyepatch on his left eye.
