About
Atlas is as much of a friendly, good samaritan as they come. When he's not busy wrecking meteors to protect some planet, he enjoys riding them like a great big bull and embarking to whatever journey they take him. A man on the road, suffice to say. But in the rare case when his feet touch down, he's a kind, helpful guy. The whole belief he has a higher purpose and his overtly heroic streak are odd, sure, and maybe he speaks a bit too loud and with a bit too much conviction to not have practiced it in the mirror, but he's ready to help no matter what. Now try and convince him you don't need saving...
About 90% of his personality can be attributed to his being a Lupus tribe member according to Atlas himself and he wears that badge with pride! He's firmly a pack animal, a direct result from having a big family, and childhood antics lead to him discovering his ability while following older members on some journey or another. He never quite got the memo on Vampire Stars, try as one might to convince him otherwise - he found their origins quite sad and according to his heroic child brain, he could just give them a hug, and if he felt a little bit tired after, then so be it.
The mantle of meteor rider and guard he took up in his late teens after already successfully thinking on the spot a few times when the meteors he used as transport ended up coming too close to some planets. He was cut out for the job, had the perfect name for it and had grown into a strapping boy with one heck of a punch to his comet run. The first two years went as smoothly as they could, with a few hitches that only left small dings on him - scars he loved and could brag about proudly, until a miscalculated trajectory brought him too close too quickly to one large meteor and he ended up pinned under the fiery falling debris for long enough to sustain serious damage. He parted with an eye, some of the feeling his right arm... and gained some of the meteor, which proved too dangerous to remove.
Yet the biggest tragedy of the whole ordeal was his utmost boredom at being bedridden for a few months and the process of becoming a leftie. And the meteor burns itched a lot... But his 'tis but a scratch' mentality in all aspects of his life carried him through this as well, and he was up on his feet soon, boasting what he called abrad scar and tons of wisdom .

Trivia
- Workout nut, as per protocol...
- Still gets slightly flustered when unsuccessfully using his lame arm.
- While his job doesn't include policing much other than flaming rocks, he does keep an eye out like a good samaritan and will put his mean mug on in the case of any dangerous or criminal activity. When duty calls, it calls loud to him! He mostly keeps to scaring thieves away.
- Animal lover. Found out humans eat animals for survival and has been outraged ever since.
- Is on very friendly terms with one space whale that he calls Lula. Likes to play tag with her around the planets..

His quartz dragon. the critter was named Boots, for his penchant for hiding in shoes as a baby and for still monopolizing them occasionally just to be sure dad doesn't leave without him. He often trails behind Atlas, at a safe distance while he does his job and then patiently waits for playtime. He may be a bit spoilt....
