N/A

Elice Atmey is an ex-assassin who presently serves as the director of operations at GYAXA. She has been a long-time member of GYAXA, and is known to be notoriously camera-shy.

## Personality

Elice Atmey is a very noble and polite individual. She has a cool head even in the most heated situations, which many commend her for considering her occupation. She often intimidates people by her lack of outward emotion, however, she finds that she enjoys being just slightly offputting.

Elice is a very duty-bound person who values work and devotion to her job moreso over family or friends. So long as she achieves and forges a proper reputation for herself, she finds all of her desires in life fulfilled. Due to this, many of her social relations tend to fall by the wayside. She enjoys the company of her co-workers, though the connection usually runs skin-deep.

After Metis Cykes— someone who Elice admired and felt understood her— died, she retracted deeper within her shell. She understood death was a part of life, murder or not, and decided not to seek out revenge against the person who killed her, as the court system already had.

Elice still manages to have trust in the system of law, despite its downfalls, but it's hard to tell if it's really trust or just a deep, disconnected sense of apathy.

## History

Elice grew up within the de Killer family and was trained from a young age to be a professional, deadly, and effective assassin. However, as a young adult, she was disowned (or perhaps she just left of her own volition) from the family due to an unknown reason.

Seeing it as a chance to start fresh, she attended university, graduated as a doctor in the engineering field, and married Don Atmey, who raised Luke Atmey while she focused on her work at GYAXA. After Don left the picture, she found that she ended up neglecting her son in exchange for her work— a lingering trait from her time as an assassin.

Luke, after growing old enough, found himself frustrated by the lack of attention he got from her and sought out to forge a destiny bright enough to overshadow hers. She was wounded by her son running away from home, but not wounded enough to chase after him. She saw him as deeply work-driven, just like she was, and almost found the act as inspiring as when she had done the same many years in the past.

She ended up remarrying and having another child, Collin Atmey, whose unknown father also fell out of the picture. She attempted to spend more time with him than she had her previous son, though would frequently talk about Luke's great achievements rather than acknowledge Collin's.

During UR-1 she ended up seeing Luke again as he was one of the detectives investigating it, however, they didn't end up talking.

Collin, too, ended up running away from home to pursue his own dreams, rather than the dreams his mother unconsciously forced onto him. Though her new duties as GYAXA's director to keep her satisfied, she found that she wants to try and make it up to him.

## Trivia

* The name Elice is thought to mean “noble natured”, “of noble type” or “noble person”.
* The reason why she's camera shy is to play into her old job as an assassin, and also to explain why she doesn't show up in photos at the HAT-1 museum.
