Atticus Anoethite

* Season One
* Season Two

**Atticus Anoethite**, legally known as **Atticus Rosington**, is a member of the Port City Eight and a main protagonist in *The Demon's Light*. After waking up in an unfamiliar barn with retrograde amnesia and meeting four new companions, he finds himself caught up in a conspiracy against Alchemilia Corporation. In Season Two, he is recruited by the Dream Eaters.

## Appearance

Atticus is a seventeen-year-old teenage male of tall height with an angular face, sharp gray eyes, tanned skin, and unkempt black hair. For the first half of Season One, he wears a long-sleeved gray jacket with a high collar, a dark shirt, and black pants with the addition of combat boots.

In "Ceasefire," Atticus changes into a ragged beige shirt in an attempt to disguise himself from local authorities.

During the assault on Remnant Rock and until the middle of Season Two, Atticus wears a traditional Alchemilia Corporation security outfit.

After an altercation with Minor Characters#Giannis Castellanos in "Roaming King," a scar develops on his face that extends from the bottom of his left cheek, across the bridge of his nose, and ends near the middle of the other cheek.

## Personality

Atticus is a smart, organized, and quick-witted individual who enjoys thinking before acting. Despite his tendency to appear emotionless in situations, he is always willing to help others and puts 'doing the right thing' above anything else, even if it could potentially put him at a disadvantage. Once Atticus has a goal in mind, he will do almost anything to accomplish it.

Before his amnesia, Atticus' personality was significantly different: he was known as a laid-back individual who had a self-centered attitude and was loyal to no one. Due to his quick temper, Atticus often clashed with his family and spent most of his days arguing with them about one thing or another. He was also a poor student and failed most of his classes due to a general disinterest in school. Although he cared deeply for his best friend, Jordan Walesh, and his girlfriend, Lisa Fiss, Atticus often blew off various activies with Jordan and was unfaithful towards Lisa various times because 'life was too short' and he 'needed to have some fun while he could.'

## Biography

### Background

Originally living in Abridhust, a volcanic city near the southern end of Thales, Elena Anoethite moved to Silivia to become a journalist. After meeting Gabriel Arsene at an Alchemilia Silivia event in 297 TP, the two quickly began a private romantic relationship. A few years later, Elena revealed she was pregnant and Gabriel ended their relationship, vowing to have nothing to do with her or their child.

On Xerus 32th, 301 TP Atticus Anoethite was born in the Silivian Masquerade Hospital. At the age of two, his mother was killed in a car accident. Due to the fact that his father was unknown and no one could establish contact with his mother's family, he was placed under the city's custody and put up for adoption.

Atticus was adopted by Theodore and Vanessa Rosington, a Silivian city councilman and his wife. After Theodore Rosington became governor of Silivia, Atticus began to perform poorly in school and caused various troubles around the city with his small group of friends. Despite his poor reputation, he managed to develop a relationship with Lisa Fiss. An avid fan of sports, Atticus would often skip classes and play basketball with Jordan Walesh in the city park. While playing one day, the two met Sebastian Cloverdale.

After a game of basketball, Sebastian, Jordan, and Atticus became friends. Eventually, Sebastian invited Atticus and Jordan to meet his other friends. Jordan refused, but Atticus agreed, and Sebastian led him to his group's hangout place.

A few weeks later, Atticus was walking home from Jordan's house in District Three when he heard someone calling for help. Rushing behind an alley to find the person in distress, he encountered Sebastian and a small group beating a middle-aged man. Shocked, Sebastian and his friends let the man go and Atticus demanded an explanation. Sebastian reluctantly revealed ties to a local mafia — he was the son of the Cloverdale mafia don. Atticus was furious about their behavior, but Sebastian managed to talk him down and offered him a spot in his father's organization. To his surprise, Atticus accepted it.

Days later, Sebastian suggested Atticus could join him on a job and Atticus agreed, ready to begin his first job in the Cloverdales organization. The two of them headed into District Three and located a black market seller that dealt with guns. Making a deal to split the costs, Atticus used a check from his father to cover his part. Bringing the weapons to a dropoff point, Sebastian congratulated Atticus and informed him of another upcoming job — making a delivery in Port City. Atticus wanted to join, and Sebastian told him they would be leaving Silivia later that night with his group of friends.

Upon going home, Atticus ran into a fuming Theo, who had discovered what Atticus did and accused him of being involved with organized crime. After an argument, Atticus left and called Jordan and Lisa. He met up with them and informed them about his involvement with Sebastian's organization and his plans to leave the city that night. They protested, but Atticus snapped and told them the decision was already made.

The group left Silivia and headed to Gladea. The young mafiosi were attacked viciously by a group of rogue demons and most were killed, despite a small group of Ackerman Militia members intervening and failing.

A few days later, after the Sabaoth attack on Silivia, Atticus' family became worried after he failed to return and reported him missing. Shortly afterwards, the remains of the teenagers - excluding Atticus - and the Ackerman Miltiia squad members were discovered and Silivian officials conducted a weeks-long investigation. After failing to find any trace of Atticus, the investigation concluded that he had also been killed by demons and Atticus Rosington was decleared legally deceased.

### Season One

Waking up in an unfamiliar barn, Atticus was injured and noticed there was a strange girl sleeping next to him. He didn't recognize her and struggled to remember how he arrived at the barn, eventually realizing that he was suffering from amnesia. A young woman arrived and found the two of them; she introduced herself as Savannah Whitesmith. She helped Atticus stand up and questioned him, but he wasn't able to answer her properly.

After discovering an android in the barn named Chris Wellington and learning that the woman, Melissa Devlin, next to him was also suffering from amnesia, Atticus left the barn with the group and trekked through the woods. After coming to a road, they managed to stop a vehicle and were joined by a new companion, Token Jin. The driver agreed to give the five of them a ride and headed towards Alchemilia Gladea.

## Abilities

Since the events of "In Somnis Veritas," Atticus gained the ability to see various kinds of visions. The first set of visions allowed him to see prophetic visions of peoples' deaths shortly before they happened. Over time, he developed a second type of prophetic vision that allowed him to see glimpses into the future and use them to determine potential threats.

Due to training with the Dream Eaters in "House of the Rising Sun," Atticus is also able to teleport.
