## Biography

### Early Life (1970-1981)

Atticus was born on January 29, 1970, alongside his triplet brothers, Lysander and Ulysses, in Savannah, Georgia. What sets him and his brothers apart from most sets of identical triplets, however, is that they're conjoined. Atticus and his brothers share a single three-headed body between them.

### Ilvermorny Years (1981-1988)

Atticus and his brothers started at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the age of eleven on September 1, 1981. In the Sorting Ceremony, both the Horned Serpent and Pukwudgie totems reacted to them. While tempted to choose Horned Serpent and follow in the footsteps of their Grandaunt Seraphine, they ultimately chose Pukwudgie as even from a young age they knew that they wanted to be healers.

On their birthday at some point during their years at Ilvermorny, Atticus and his brothers underwent a magical creature inheritance with Atticus becoming an Alpha, while his brother Lysander became an Omega, and his brother Ulysses became a Beta.

Atticus and his brothers were prefects in their fifth through seventh years, and shared one of the Pukwudgie Deputy Head Boy slots in their sixth year, and one of the Puckwudgie Head Boy slots in their seventh.

### After Ilvermorny (1988-present)

After getting their Masteries in Medical Magic, apprenticing under Deputy Matron of Ilvermorny Poppy Pomfrey, they got jobs in the Ilvermorny Hospital Wing as nurses. While their Ilvermorny education was paid for in full by an educational trust created for them upon their birth by their Grandaunt Seraphina, there Mastery training was not. Although this was actually by their choice, as their grandaunt did offer to pay for their Masteries, but Atticus and his brothers politely refused the money. They'd gotten a basically free education up to that point on their grandaunt's dime and they wanted to pay for their Masteries themselves. They had to take out several student loans, but they got their Masteries in early 1991, at which point they decided to take a gap year or two to work in the Hospital Wing as nurses, earning the money to pay down their loans.

## Physical Appearance

Atticus has brown hair and brown eyes. He shares a single, lean muscular, three-headed body with his brothers, Lysander and Ulysses. Atticus controls their right arm and hand.

Atticus's eyes can glow red in human form, and both of their creature forms, due to being an Alpha. Lysander's eyes glow brown as an Omega, while Ulysses's eyes, as a Beta, glow yellow.

## Personality and Traits

Kind and caring, Atticus and his brothers are not only eager to please, but have a deep and abiding desire to help others, which is probably why their greatest ambition is to become fully-trained healers. As kind and caring as they are, however, if you harm their family or someone they call friend or pack, then they can be ruthless and will get revenge, even if it takes a while. After all, revenge is a dish best served cold when the victim is least expecting it.

Atticus and his brothers are genius strategists, as perhaps evidenced by their skill at chess. They're good at reading body language and facial expressions and at predicting what their opponents will do before they do it, which is not only useful in chess, but in duels, and other aspects of their lives.

If Atticus and his brothers have one weakness, it's their fear of heights. As such they never really took to broom-flying, as they prefer to keep their feet firmly on the ground. They're also allergic to shellfish, coconut, and peanuts, and are mildly lactose intolerant.

## Abilities and Skills

### Regular Abilties and Skills

Atticus and his brothers, while not quite as athletic as some other students, in that they didn't go out for the maximum allowed of six different sports, did still go out for a few of them.

* **Lacrosse:** Played goalie on Pukwudgie's JV lacrosse team during the fall semesters of their second through fourth years, and the Varsity team from fifth year onward.
* **Swimming:** Was on Pukwudgie's JV swimming team during the winter semesters of their second through fourth years, and the Varsity team from fifth year onward.
* **Wrestling:** Was on Pukwudgie's JV wrestling team during the winter semesters of their second through fourth years, and the Varsity team from fifth year onward. Co-Captains of the Varsity team in their sixth and seventh years.
* **Track and Field:** Was on Pukwudgie's JV track and field team during the spring semesters of their second through fourth years, and the Varsity team from fifth year onward.

Besides the sports they played, Atticus and his brothers have a variety of other interests as well.

* **Medical Magic:** Tied with Potions as the favorite subject of Atticus and his brothers, which makes sense since Medical Magic and Potions are the two most important for their ambitions to go into the medical profession.
* **Potions:** See above.
* **Violin:** Taking a cue from Tripp, Atticus and Ulysses took up the violin, learning how to play both the standard violin and a left-handed model.
* **Harpsichord:** Atticus and his brothers took a further cue from Tripp and took up the pedal-harpsichord so that Lysander could contribute something with him handling the pedals, while Atticus and Ulysses handle the keyboard.
* **Dueling:** Strong duelers who can definitely hold their own against most opponents, especially those who don't have the ability of conjoined triplets to cast three spells simultaneously. Atticus is the best dueler of his brothers, though in truth Lysander and Ulysses are not that far behind.
* **Chess:** During their time at Ilvermorny, Atticus and his brothers were hands down the three best chess players in Pukwudgie, if not the entire school, as they were each able to concentrate on their own game, thus playing three different people at the same time, and handily beating them most of the time.
* **Languages:** Atticus and his brothers are fluent in English, Latin, Old English, and French, and conversant in Spanish, German, and Irish. Atticus is also fluent in Gobbledygook.
* **Spellcasting:** When it comes to general spellcasting, Atticus puts a strong focus on offensive magic, though like his brothers, he also excels at healing magic.
* **Charms:** Atticus is better than his brothers at Charms, often able to pick up new spells in the subject faster than them.
