Atticus Connery was a mutations scientist known for torturing and hijacking several prisoners to the Capitol through the use of tracker jacker venom. His loyalty to the Capitol would promote biological warfare against the rebellion.

## Early Life

**Atticus Connery** was born as an only child to a capitol scientist known for the analyzing the behavior of insects throughout the districts. Atticus was fairly praised as a child and acquired a need for validation, being the center of his families attention. The male status of the Connery family was honored among them, continuing the line of the 'Alexander' name, though Atticus became Alexander the II, not having the same name as his father. His father would still refer to him as Alex, or rather Alex junior through his entire childhood and up until his death. His childhood would also further prove his spoiled-ish nature in adulthood. Eventually, the Connery family had increased in wealth when Atticus' Father, Alexander, had begun helping to create the behavioral patterns of the mutated tracker jacker. Alexander's work has essentially rebelled against the Capitol, and had later committed suicide in an act of treason by injecting himself with tracker venom. Upon Alexander's death, Atticus would turn his father's work into a device of torture for the Capitol's loyalty.

### Medical School

Atticus had intended to become a surgeon against his father's wishes. He attended medical school under the capitol and even studied in surgical practice throughout his educational years. Though, he took on his father's work rather than becoming a doctor, his surgical training would later benefit his scientific career within the capitol.

### Field of Science

With his father's death, Atticus would become increasingly known within Panem, essentially turning a discarded mutation within the games as a full length weapon. Atticus had stolen his father's work, creating a chemical based agent made from the venom of tracker jackers. Atticus would eventually work under the Capitol, replacing his father's job, and earning himself the title of a mutations scientist.

## The Rebellion

### Capitol Laboratories

Working within the Capitol, the Capitol would praise the boy with his own laboratory, previously being his fathers. Atticus would later reinvent the lab to benefit his torturous methods.

### Jacker Hijacking

Atticus' role against the Rebellion had increasingly became known, turning a mutation within the games as a full length weapon of control against the Rebellion. The venom of a tracker jacker has been known as a method of death with its hallucination based properties. The father of Atticus Connery, Dr. Alexander Connery, had discovered that the hallucinogenic property could be altered in creation to psychosis. This psychosis could unintentionally be installed with false memories of its' victims, altering their values to follow a Capitol loyalty. Alexander's plans had been to rather use the venom as a weapon against the Capitol, while his son eventually turned his work into a weapon for the Capitol. Atticus would use tracker jacker venom to hijack several of those opposing the Capitol with treason, including the Rebellion. Atticus' surgical career further promoted hijacking, understanding how to inject an individual with the right amount of venom without killing them, but rather gaining the peak of their psychosis.

## Relationships

### Alexander Connery Sr.

* Alexander and Atticus' relationship had been stained since birth. Atticus hated his middle name because of it and is enraged by even the sheer mention of his past. Atticus refuses to believe his intelligence rained from his father's work. When his father was alive, Atticus and Alexander would be seen to have arguments often, but his mother had noted their relationship had been a least bit 'tolerable,' and loving before his death. Alexander contrasts to his son's beliefs, believing the work of the Capitol to be against god and ultimately taking his own life as a way to rebel against their reasoning's. Atticus simply calls his father a 'traitor,' and rather speaks no further of him.

### Lydia Connery

* Atticus and Lydia's relationship appears fairly different than his relationship with his father. Atticus has shown to only care for his mother and this is still progressed into adulthood. Due to her husband's death, Lydia had obtained a heavy habit to alcoholism as a way of grief. Living in the same household, Atticus continues to allow his mother to drink, even paying for her alcoholic debuts. Lydia's alliance to the Capitol likely had been strained, but her thankfulness to the wealth given to the Connery family promotes her interest towards the games, even betting on several different tributes.

## Personality

His personality is more often than narcissistic, caring more about his appearance rather than his lack in personality. As well as according to his appearance, Atticus has a more well-mannered attitude towards superiors and is even shown to be quite organized within his work space. He is a very cold and unforgiving individual, referring to his own father as a "traitor to his people." Atticus appears only to be generous and caring towards his own mother. He often attends parties and celebrations throughout Panem, as well as casing a 'false,' flamboyant personality in accordance to gaining the respect of even wealthier citizens. His loyalty relies simply in the Capitol and his personality showcases his disgust towards the districts and any of lower wealth. He has often become nauseous even thinking about a r\*bel. He is also seen to be easily angered, lashing his anger out irrationally and erratically, deteriorating his reputation.

### Myers–Briggs Type Indicator

ENTP-T, the Debater. Turbulent Debaters notably seek attention and approval. Debaters are the ultimate devil’s advocate, thriving on the process of shredding arguments and beliefs and letting the ribbons drift in the wind for all to see. They don’t always do this because they are trying to achieve some deeper purpose or strategic goal, though. Sometimes it’s for the simple reason that it’s fun. The Debater personality type gives them a chance to exercise their effortlessly quick wit, broad accumulated knowledge base, and capacity for connecting disparate ideas to prove their points. People with this personality type may find that the most complex and rewarding intellectual challenge is to understand a more sentimental perspective, and to argue consideration and compromise alongside logic and progress.

* Strengths: knowledgeable, charismatic, creative, energetic
* Weaknesses: argumentative, insensitive, intolerant

## Physical Appearance

From his over styled hair down to his perfectly tailored suits, Atticus possesses the means of Capitol wealth. Atticus could be described as a rather thinly male with a pale white complexion. Standing at 5'5", his assertiveness is portrayed in a child-like sense. His paleness would also promote a more veined like tone, more-so appearing in his hands and face. Aside from his clothing, his darkened hair is one of his most particularly cared for appearances. Like most wealthy capitols, his figure is rather kept small due to his eating habits and appears to have little to none mass.
