Group Affiliation: Athena's Champions, The Agency
Powers:
- Indomitable Will: Atlas will never give up, only when he's incapable of moving and injured to a degree that resembles a bag of butchered meat will he falter. His mental fortitude is nothing to laugh at either, due to mild insanity or a genuine implacability, any form of trying to get into his head and mess with him will be rebuffed with mild vulgarity and humor.
- Tranquil Fury: Atlas rarely raised his voice above inside levels, when he does, either he's beyond pissed, or he needs to be heard, this doesn't mean that he isn't angry, just that he's good at hiding it.
- Berserker Physiology: When he's wounded and angry enough, his body slips into an altered state which nigh ignores pain and starts overloading his body with survival processes. Killing him at this point is relatively easy, stopping him isn't.
- Enhanced Condition: Strong enough to lift 6-8 tons, fast enough to dodge bullets and outrun cars, durable enough to run for miles or fall off the Empire State building.
- One Man Army: As advertised, avoid confronting him with anything less than an army (if you're a normal human than it'll more or less be a fair fight).
- Special Ops Mastery: A master of breaching rooms and clearing goons, Atlas is capable of martial prowess rarely shown outside veteran soldiers, and has a combat instinct that's rather attuned to traps and ambushes.
- MK III Power Armor: A rugged and technologically tame suit, it's comprised of synthetic muscle and neurological ports, and plated with titanium and AlON. Able to withstand pistol and small rifle calibers it's allows Atlas's strength to escalate even higher to the 10-15 ton range.
Equipment:Weaknesses:
- MK III Power Armor
- Modified Remington 870
- Modified Kriss Vector
- Surplus MH-53J 'Pavelow'
Background:Atlas grew up in a Los Angeles orphanage, despite this he received a decent education, but he was routinely neglected by the orphanage's headmaster, when he became 13 he was thrown out of the orphanage for an altercation between himself and the orphanage staff, left to die and wandering the streets he was taken in by a man who taught him how to survive in the urban jungle. One day while squatting in a seemingly abandoned house the owner of the property set it ablaze, Atlas made it out but most of the right side of his body was burned, his caretaker did not make it, or so he thought.
- If damaged to the point of uselessness, the power armor will burst into flames as an asset denial feature. And due to it's conductivity, electricity will harm Atlas almost doubly so.
- Indomitable Will has an exponential drop off. The further up the scale of mental assault you go the higher the chance that he'll break
- One Man Army and Special Ops Mastery are rusty skills, Atlas hasn't had anything that actually challenges him for quite some time, so he won't immediately switch into that mindset in a fight.
- When Atlas slips into a berserker rage, his body does an absurd amount of damage to itself. Blood vessels burst, muscles tear and snap his own bone, and his sense of pain is dulled significantly.
When Atlas came of age he joined the U.S Army Rangers and experienced 2 tours in Afghanistan before he partook in an experiment to create super-soldiers. Most subjects died due to complications in the genetic modification process but Atlas survived, the army deemed the program a failure and Atlas was reassigned to a special forces group, he was given special status and allowed to live a normal life while still being an semi-active member of the armed forces. Not soon after his first leave of absence he was shot in the head and mugged, but he had cheated death yet again. While in the ensuing coma he had a prophetic dream that envisioned the destruction of his world.
David had a decent amount of trouble upon awaking, he had survived but the resulting trauma rendered him unable to read or write and his motor functions weren't doing too well either. He eventually recovered and helped aid in quelling riots in LA, repel an alien invasion of Washington DC, and joined with a group with the goal of uniting humanity... This was all so long ago to the man.
During an altercation with those who wished to stop him and his fellows from what they saw as an evil plot, David was killed, his opponents left him bleeding out, and handcuffed to a leaking nuclear reactor. He startlingly awoke in the underworld, to reap what he had sown. But the man wasn't having it, through sheer willpower and fighting spirit, he managed to fight his way out of the underworld, something that shocked the various gods and spirits of death. Atlas was left in limbo, with the inability to occupy any human realm. That was until the goddess Athena, whom had watched him for some time, decided to take the man under her banner, and named him one of her three Champions.
He was then placed onto the realm in which he occupies now. The ET/ED/S:R.C.D.A found him, and hired him to be one of their several field agents, to watch over mankind and to prevent it's destruction. Atlas, liked the idea.
After his fight with Blank's forces and Osteo, Atlas underwent the augmentation procedure a second time and went on a self searching trip to Poland. Upon his return he started working immediately on an older but more rugged variant of his armor, the last having been mangled by the massive dock explosion and Gold Spirits efforts.
Summary:Atlas was once a man with anger problems from another dimension, now he works for The Agency. Coincidentally he's fought with some familiar faces, but he really just wants his life to slow down... He's also the patron champion of a god of war. Typical super-soldier stuff. He's a former Ranger so he knows his way around a gun, and can throw cars like caber poles.
Revised. I'll get around to furthering that 'Athena's Champion' plot... eventually.
