Appearance: Attie is of an average height, standing at 171cm tall, and has a willowy frame. Curly chestnut hair reaches his shoulders, framing a soft and kind face and large sea-green eyes. His skin is a peachy complexion, unmarred by any sort of scars or markings, and he highly favors dressing in shades of green.

Personality: Kind and self sacrificing, Atticus is convinced that there has to be a better way than resorting to killing and violence first. He's not a complete pacifist and will fight when put into the position for it, but would rather try to minimize potential losses in a confrontation. He is drawn to be a problem solver, solution finder, care giver, anything that will help. Generally, he'll do this without concern for his own well-being and often won't hold people to paying him back for favors - their thankfulness is often enough, even if it doesn't quite pay the bills.
Background: Atticus came to Novus with his mother when he was 12 years old, as displaced runaways from mafia and underworld turmoil in a primarily [French] speaking city far away. Novus was the best bet for them - not too far away that travel was risky but... far enough that they'd be safe. Neither he nor his mother spoke much of the universal language of Novus, but Atticus was young and managed to catch on. His mother had much more difficulty, but with her son's help managed to catch on and secure a proper citizenship in the Middle class.
During school, he became quick friends with Kyne, who he remained close with even after the two became separated by class, with Kyne moving to Lower and Attie moving to Upper.
Attie became interested in medical studies - tinkering with prosthetics and trying to help those who really needed it became passions of his. However, his big heart landed him in trouble and it wasn't long until he managed to be a little too helpful and others took notice. Attie didn't judge those who came to him for assistance - he operated an under the radar clinic out of his small home and made fairly frequent trips into Lower Class and Slum areas, and eventually saved the life of a vigilante who had made some pretty nasty enemies. Attie, unfortunately, got caught in the crossfire and it was far too difficult to hide what he'd been doing from the police. He was, while not guilty enough to become apprehended, he was stripped of his class and sent to the slums.
Once there, though, he wasn't really.... discouraged from helping. He's built a bit of a reputation as someone who will help in exchange for whatever donations you're willing to give. So far, there are enough people who've been grateful for his help that he manages to get by - and his reputation from this has provided him with people who are willing to watch out for him and keep him safe. He's never been too much of a fighter himself, though he's not completely foreign to the idea of fighting.
Though he speaks both languages fluently, he has retained a not strong but definitely there accent that clearly identifies him as someone from another city. This can be both a good thing and a bad thing, as it only makes him stand out. [[Note, for readers reference this is a French Canadian accent ]]
