Powerful arms push out from broad shoulders, chiseled biceps and powerfully corded forearms lead out to wide palmed hands with long, slightly off-angled fingers.. His stomach, while solid, had a slight paunch to it. He's like an oak, but he clearly has some weight to him. He's a handsome enough man, with a boyish quality to his rounded cheeks and almost pouting lips he'd almost look ten years younger if it wasn't for the permanent five o'clock shadow and hair that hung down to his shoulders that seemed to give him an almost haunted quality. Other Features Numerous tattoos, two full sleeves, a chest piece, and a winged skull across his stomach. He also has multiple minor scars along his fairly large hands and forearms. Visual Representation Background Personality He's guarded, but not hyper confrontational. He's protective, he can be social if around likeminded people. If intoxicated? He's a fairly happy drunk.

He did five in a mental asylum for a violent, impulsive, attack that left a man dead. 'Course if you asked Atticus, or any other person? It was a public service. The man had molested Atticus's nephew, and he walked because of improper police procedure and forensic bungling, and because of that? Because of that fucking mistake? He was let out in the public. Unfortunately, Atticus was also in the public... And somewhere between his perceived failure in protecting his nephew, and the law's failure in doing justice? Something in Atticus's head snapped and he ripped the man apart with his own two hands. Luckily, Atticus was in Georgia, and Atticus came from a family with old money and old ties, and while he avoided prison? It was agreed that he needed a measure of mental health.. So, to Bishopsgate Asylum he went, at least for a spell. A spell that took five or so years. Who fuckin' knew the world was gonna end before all that time was up, yeah? Atticus found himself in a world that'd gone to hell, and even worse It was hell getting out of the place he was in, especially since the doctors, the orderlies and everyone else seemed to be taking off... Who knew why Atticus wound up in the area he did? Guess it was nature. IF hell was in the east? You went west. . ...Just who knew the west was as fucked up as the east? Family Father James Robert Longstreet. Status Unknown. Mother Delilah Ann Longstreet. Status Unknown. Older Sister. Mary Catherine O'Rourke. Status Unknown. Likes He's a smoker, and prefers cigars or cigarillos but has no issue with smoking cigarettes. He also tends to collect lighters and matchbooks out of habit. Dislikes He doesn't like liars, for the obvious reasons. He can understand thieves but liars? Not so much. Fears --Being trapped in a small space. --Has a slightly irrational fear of porcelain dolls. It's not an extreme fear, they just unnerve the hell out of him. Best Memoryies -- He doesn't have children, but his nephew and niece were like his own, so their subsequent birth was probably his best memory. He loves them both. Worst Memoryies --The Asylum. He doesn't want to go back there for anything, even if it's extremely illogical, since ...Well, it's the apocalypse. Favorite Colors Dark red, forest green, navy blue. Sexual Orientation Bi-Sexual. Not in the 'only two sexes' sense, but more in the 'I don't care what genitals you have' sense. GenderSex doesn't really matter to him. He's more on the pansexual spectrum, probably. Dominant, mostly, and a top, but he could probably switch if he found it appealing.
