**Atlas Rhys Thorne** is a character within Maple County Academy, who holds the postition of the Delinquents 1IC. He is portrayed by floats, the founder of Maple County Academy.

### Appearance

Atlas is a tall, striking figure at 6'5", with a unique blend of Italian and Hispanic heritage. He possesses an impressive physique, weighing a solid 210 pounds, making him the academy's tallest individual, even surpassing his brother Lorenzo, who is a faculty member. Many people admire Atlas's build, particularly female admirers, drawn to his combination of an endomorphic and mesomorphic body type. Notably, his broad shoulders and muscular arms stretch the limits of his Delinquent outfit, a testament to the dedication he has poured into sculpting his physique.

With a slight tan complexion and messy brown hair inherited from his Hispanic mother, Atlas possesses a distinct appearance. His hair happens to be kept long, but originally was tied up when he was back in Juvi, into a pony tail, now however it is left out like a mullet. His eyes, a captivating shade of grey, are a hereditary trait passed down through his family, skipping a generation each time, making them all the more enchanting, especially when they catch the moonlight. Occasionally, a subtle mustache graces his face, which he decides to shave off, accentuating his exceptional jawline. While he bears slight bags under his eyes, they are overshadowed by a more prominent nose scar acquired during his time in juvi.

In terms of attire, Atlas prefers comfortable clothing that reflects his individuality. He often dons an academy hoodie, along with a jacket adorned with an assortment of patches and pins, expressing his personal style. Surprisingly, he wears cross earrings, symbolizing his unwavering connection to his faith, even though he wonders if forgiveness from a higher power will ever be attainable for the crimes he has committed.

### Personality

Atlas has gained a reputation as a fiercely volatile individual with a fiery temper, earning him the moniker "The Sinner" among his clique members. He is notorious for his aggressive nature, directed not only at those he dislikes but also towards individuals with whom he feels uncomfortable. His behavior often exhibits sociopathic tendencies, displaying a lack of empathy and disregard for others' well-being. Additionally, Atlas grapples with anger management issues, which further accentuate his short fuse. These challenges stem from his father's influence, who passed down this temperament to him.

Moreover, Atlas wrestles with anxiety, which periodically manifests as debilitating panic attacks. This underlying anxiety exacerbates his already volatile nature, making him a force to be reckoned with. Furthermore, he has honed the art of manipulation to a remarkable degree, making him someone to be wary of in any social interaction. His adeptness in influencing others serves as a potent tool, allowing him to navigate situations to his advantage.

It is essential to exercise caution and avoid provoking Atlas, given his explosive tendencies and manipulative prowess. His reputation as "The Sinner" serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of crossing paths with him.

### Backstory

#### Childhood

Born on the 16th of December, 1991, in Florence, Italy, at precisely 10:32 am, Atlas made his grand entrance into the world. His older brother Lorenzo, who was seven years his senior, welcomed him into the family. Not long after, their two younger sisters, Aurora and Natalia, joined the growing clan in 1992 and 1993, respectively.

From an early age, Atlas noticed that he didn't receive as much attention from their parents compared to his siblings. This often resulted in him bearing the brunt of punishment when his brothers and sisters misbehaved. Being considered the black sheep or troublemaker of the family, Atlas developed a close bond with his grandfather, Axel. Axel would regale him with stories from his past, including tales of his youthful days leading a juvenile gang and the friendships he forged along the way. Their special connection became a source of solace for Atlas.

However, tragedy struck when Atlas's beloved grandfather passed away in 1994, just a year after Natalia's birth. The entire family was devastated by the loss, and in an effort to forge a new beginning, they made the decision to immigrate to America, seeking a fresh start.

During this transition, Atlas found solace and companionship in his sister Aurora. As middle children who often felt neglected, they formed a close bond, becoming each other's confidants. Atlas's protectiveness towards Aurora intensified, as he felt a deep responsibility to shield her from harm.

By the age of eight, Atlas displayed remarkable intellect, but he also found himself constantly embroiled in mischief. He would jump fences to pilfer oranges from the neighbors and even played truant from school, much to the dismay of his parents. Frustrated with the challenges life had thrown his way—the loss of his grandfather and the departure from his homeland—Atlas struggled to find his place in the world which lead him to be filled with anger, not really knowing how to control it.

When he turned nine, Atlas finally had the opportunity to meet his cousins, Dallas and Dominic Moretti, and the trio quickly formed an unbreakable bond. Despite the age difference, particularly with Dominic being older, their connection grew strong. Unfortunately, their closeness would lead them down questionable paths as they navigated through life.

Atlas and his family had faced their fair share of challenges, including his Aunt Veronica's hospitalization and Uncle Hercule's demanding work schedule, which had initially delayed their meeting with the cousins. Nevertheless, the trio, while tightly bonded, would eventually make choices that would have lasting consequences on their lives.

#### Before Enrolment

By the age of ten, Atlas found himself entangled in a life of trouble, leading to a stint in juvenile detention after being caught pickpocketing. After six months, his Uncle stepped in, paying for his bail and securing his release. Although reunited with his family, they greeted him with disappointment and disapproval. However, Atlas had developed an apathetic demeanor, seemingly devoid of empathy, almost exhibiting sociopathic tendencies. He no longer cared about their opinions or reprimands.

Interestingly, Atlas discovered a certain thrill in his criminal activities. Despite his family's strong disapproval, he felt drawn to a life of crime, recognizing it as his calling. As he grew older and physically stronger, his criminal record expanded, resulting in frequent returns to juvenile detention. One notable incident occurred when he viciously assaulted someone who attempted to steal his dirt bike, leading to an extended period behind bars.

During his time in detention, Atlas faced further hardships. He fell victim to an attack by a juvenile gang, enduring a deep slash to his nose from a makeshift weapon. This traumatic experience left him with an anxiety disorder, a constant reminder of the danger that surrounded him. While he had engaged in various misdeeds before, he had never suffered such severe consequences.

However, a glimmer of hope emerged from the darkness. An opportunity arose for Atlas to escape the confines of his previous hellish existence. Juvenile reformatory students were given the chance to attend Maple County, a new environment that promised a chance at rehabilitation. This is where Atlas finds himself today, leading a group known as the Delinquents or The Hellraisers, forming a new path in life that will determine his future as much as he's not giving up on the life of crime alongside his new girlfriend Athena Monroe.

#### After Enrolment | Character Arcs

Attending in his freshman year, Atlas was more aggressive than ever, as he did have that new found rage of just getting out of juvi, he decided to join the Hellraisers joining after he mentioned he was a legacy. Throughout this year, would be the year that Atlas ended up in the majority of brawls he had espeicially with Stephan but he never chose to change until his sophomore year.

In his sophomore year, was the year he met Athena one of the newest members of the Hellraisers and everytime he looked at her he for some odd reason felt butterflies in his stomach, he felt nervous when he was around her especially since she was the most stunning woman he ever laid eyes on. At this time, Atlas still wore his hair back in a ponytail until once him and Athena started talking and suggested he left it out, he did so. They ended up dating on Feburary 2nd, 2006 and had one of the most loving relationships at that often seen by other couples as the best couple on campus however due to Atlas already having a lot of issues, like him failing school and his father putting a lot of pressure amongst him, he wasn't sure what to do or how to handle it so he broke up with Athena mainly because it was the wrong time to be dating anyone, and he didn't want to hurt her. She however, will never forget the affection they have for each other especially since she wears the necklace he gave her everywhere she goes. Atlas would not move on from this, not engaging in any relationship mainly due to him being sociopathic while Athena would soon move on to have a fling with Dallas in their beginning of junior year.

And thats where it leaves us until more character arcs occur...
