BASIC INFORMATION - EXPANSION
❖ Atticus teeters just above destitute, barely scraping by on the daily. Because he is essentially homeless due to his unreliable career, he occasionally stays with those that offer, but typically chooses to fend for himself as he'd rather not be in debt of others. Every now and again, he'll spend the evening at the local pub, which is his default option if he's got the coin.
❖ Atticus was born into a rather average family; however, his father, a Piers Evelyn, was executed for multiple strings of murder before Atticus was even a month old. While he wasn't entirely accepted into his mother's new family- one that she had married into for monetary reasons- Atticus accumulated a total of four half-siblings: Amadeus, Mathias, Eliana, and Amelia.
❖ Atticus would really love to see his daughters full-time again; after the divorce was final, his ex-wife requested he leave the house they had bought years back and he respectfully obliged. While he's currently working toward building on his musical career in Linlea because of his thirst for greatness, he's also putting in said hours so that he has the money to support a family, if his daughters choose to let him back into their lives.

VISUAL INFORMATION - EXPANSION
❖ Atticus’ face is elongated and the hollows of his cheeks are exaggerated due both his failure to eat properly, typically choosing brandy over actual food, and his advanced age. A series of wrinkles gathers at the corners of his mouth and some deeper crevices beneath his expressive eyes. His nose is arguably petite, but it has a harsh point that is angled downward in his profile. Atticus doesn’t shave regularly, so his face is almost always covered in three or so day-old stubble, and his scruff migrates upward enough to meet his sideburns; however, the tufts of hair that sit before and alongside his ears appear much lighter in color when compared to his natural tone: a faded, taupe grey. He wears his hair short and tends to part any stray bangs to the left. Furthermore, his brows are thin, but dark.
❖ Due to his lack of daily, physical exercise, his body is regrettably absent of any visible muscle, but this doesn’t deter him from offering taunting insults to those that rub him in the wrong direction. His core is solid enough and may be the most reliable asset to his figure, in high contrast to that of his right shoulder. As a child, he was severely injured during an accident brought on by one of his mother’s falcons, the bird’s razor-sharp talons having dug mercilessly across his right-side collarbone and nearby tissue. It never healed properly and it impedes him even to this day. Additionally, a thick layer of dark body hair spans over his chest, forearms, and legs.
❖ If he had the money, Atticus would probably be one of the more fashion-forward men of Aloria; however, he is quite poor and just about every article of clothing he owns is either stained or has at least one ragged hole. He usually wears layered, structured shirts that aid in making him look bulkier, fitted trousers to play down his lower half, and finishes off the ensemble with various accessories (such as a thin, untied and disheveled cravat slung about his neck, or an assortment of wrist wear). Atticus’ right, pearl earring is of high sentimental value. It once belonged to his daughter, Tegan. She offered it to him when she was made aware of the divorce between her parents.
❖ Atticus has a smooth, suave demeanor about him; however, he reverts to utilizing a great amount of slang that detracts from what could be a rather proper manner of speech. His voice is almost soothing, but has grown to hold traces of rasp after enduring so many years of unnecessary conversation. He can sing reasonably well.
