<<PERSONALITY>>

Positive
-The adventurous nature that carries Atlas forward into new experiences was kindled by his father, the story teller that opened the doorway to a realm of dragons and spaceships. Scientific and technological advancement are what fuels the flame nowadays, through it is hard for some to understand.
-His wittiness he invented when conquering depression with humour. With a sharp mind and cheekier grin he believes he can brighten his own soul with the smiles of those around him.
-In spite of his generally calm personality he at times can get very excited to face challenged with full confidence in his abilities. From eating competitions to attaining a new skill he is eager to try new challenges.

Negative
-The dark shadow of his mid teens still looms in the background, chipping away at the foundations that hold up his world. Protecting himself from his own emotions Atlas became insecure about his worth to others, and often needs affirmation of his importance.
-The silver tongue of his is cursed with the ability to be a consistent liar. There is not a gram of guilt in him when it comes to lying to someone's face, only distain with being caught.
-From a young age Atlas was known to be schizophrenic, suffering from mild psychosis . This is most evident by his occasional delusional. On more than one occasion he has been known to believe lies he spun himself, and has a difficult time separating fantasy and imagination from reality.

<<HISTORY>>

Childhood

Teenage years:
Atlas began to struggle a bit with his schizophrenia coming into his teenage years. He didn't understand it, and even worse, neither did the other students at school. They saw him as the kid that was lost in daydreams, playing games with his pens and in general was a little bit more weird than the rest. The first years of middle school were hard, but at least he was only occasionally picked on. It was when puberty struck and hormones began to rain chaos down on Atlas's emotional state that to the other kids he moved from the weird kid, to the&nbsp;psychopath. Little did they know that the uncontrollable fits of violent rage were for the most part not caused by his mental situation but rather a reaction to the stress and torment of the bullying, amplified through out of whack hormones.

It was hard for Atlas to make friends. It was hard for other students to be his friend. Who wants to be associated with the school demon after all. One day at a time started to become too big of a step for Atlas. The idea of a whole day of isolation was heavier than a whole month alone. He made do with being a part of groups at times, but even while accepted to these he still wasn't one of them. He wasn't one of the friends, but rather one of the players in there game of dodge ball or tag. He was just a tolerated thing.

But like everything in life, this didn't last forever. High school came around and things began to change. Maturity has a way of bringing stability to a teenagers body, even if it is a slow process. With the transition to a high school brought along with it a new set of students. Some from middle school, some not. It just took one friend, just one face to talk to, one soul to care for and most importantly one voice to make laugh. It was that first friend that gave him the chance to make jokes, and laugh at them that kindled his wit and humor. From there he was able to shake the baggage of middle school, and instead was able to be someone he chose to be, not someone who reacted to what others told him he was. Even if some of his humor was self deprecating, to him it was just light hearted fun. The laughing voices of others gave allowed him to relax, and allowed others to see past his schizophrenia.
