History
Atticus grew up on the streets of Vale, he had no family or friends to keep him company. He was always alone. Atticus gave himself his name after he found out there was a symbol branded into his back when he was a child. . In his childhood he fought to live, scrounging up food from the garbage. Atticus was constantly caught by police officers and brutally beaten. Once he witnessed Roman Torchwick rob a dust shop. This led him to believe that when you're strong enough you can take what you want. He believes that if he becomes a hunter he'll have enough strength to take and do whatever he wants.

Atticus soon enrolled in Signal Academy, he was already tough from living on the streets, he just needed a weapon to go with it. He built Phoenix Blood from the horrid memory of the police officer's nightsticks that were beaten into him. He eventually enrolled into Beacon, dead set on becoming the strongest Hunter.
