ABOUT ATLAS...

Atlas was the glass child in the family growing up. Apollo was sick in childhood, frequently staying in hospital for long periods of time. Atlas's mother thrived on the attention it got her; Apollo was her golden baby. Atlas was her petri dish. Atlas's needs and wants were often undermined in favor of his brother; despite this, Atlas never resented Apollo.

Due to the neglect from his parents, Atlas found it easy to latch onto those who showed him kindness. These people were few and far between; so when he met obsessive, unhinged Cygnus Shirotori in school, Atlas fell hard. Twisting boyhood, love, fear and trauma into a codependent bond that lasted until the end of high school.

After a nasty break-up following a fire in their shared apartment, Atlas has moved in with Apollo. Bad at expressiong emotions, skittish, and awkward in social situations. Works at a library and feels smothered at times by Apollo's affection.
