Atticus

=• Young Life •= Born into a rich, political and grossly upscale Highborn family, Atticus showed promise in the field of gathering and regurgitating information verbatim (places, names, situations, dates, etc). A simple glance or whisper seemed to be recorded and etched into his brain effortlessly. Furthermore, he was capable of reading cues and gestures (nervous ticks, body language) and seemed nearly capable of reaching into the minds of those he interacted with. This savant-like ability earned him the pet-name of Mockingbird before his 13th year; something he continues to carry to this day as a title. His mother and father hoped that he might use this to his political advantage as he was tasked with carrying on the family fame, name and wealth. Despite he and his younger sister, Aria, being close as children, she was not given much of a chance to excel in her own skills as all of the family's proverbial eggs were placed in the basket of her older brother. Little did he know that she grew to resent him, as she kept her envious thoughts and feelings well-concealed.

=• Adolescent Life •= Despite never having to actually fight a day in his life, Atticus was trained personally and professionally in the arts of fencing and hand-to-hand combat for exercise and sport. He also seemed to have an innate knack for stealth as he often snuck out of the family mansion at night. His natural curiosity for the Lowborn lifestyle and current war was further compounded by the fact that Aria concocted wild stories that she knew would grab his attention and spur him into action. Atticus began to long for a more exciting life elsewhere, and though his longing quickly turned to hunger, he lacked that final push to send him over the edge.

=• Leaving the Nest •= In order to avoid internal conflict between their children, Atticus' parents drew up their will to clearly state that, should anything tragic happen to Atticus, Aria would not be the next in line for inheritance. Rather than be swayed from deviousness by this clause, Aria began to work to manipulate the system and find a loophole. She struck a deal with a childhood Cassian friend named Bianca, who had connections inside of the Imperial Corps of Intelligence (ICI). In exchange for getting Atticus to leave the safety-net of Highborn life for dangerous waters, Bianca was promised a hefty reward of both money and social influence... However, Atticus was to remain safe until Aria could at least convince the rest of the Cicero family that he was unfit for the inheritance on the grounds of abandonment, if not insanity.

=• Present Day •= Atticus fell under the spell of Bianca's charm and appeal and, despite the calls for him to return home, he has spent over two years under her careful eye as her bodyguard. He now stands on the verge of losing everything as his family likewise loses their faith in him. A great deal of change has happened in that time; his first order was to accept the injection of nanite serum in preparation of his Stalker training, and he's since become a decent soldier, great information-gatherer and astounding interrogation officer for the ICI. Atticus is also incredibly pious, (religiously devout to the point of zealotry) and volunteers much of his time, resources and energy to keeping up with (and in service of) the Vigilant Church.

=• Personality •= (W.I.P - AKA I'm too lazy to fill this out just yet.)
