Atlas is a study in contradictions: friendly (mostly) yet deeply private, grounded in a calm demeanor until he isn’t. He often swings into bursts of spontaneous energy at the most inconvenient or unpredictable moments. His curiosity runs deep and wide, but traditional structure (particularly in academic or bureaucratic settings) often stifles him. He struggles to focus on formal studies not for lack of intellect, but because his mind races toward tangents, connections, and creative possibilities others often overlook. Atlas thrives when exploring the world hands-on, tinkering and testing his theories in real time rather than from a textbook.

At his core, Atlas is a well-intentioned whirlwind ― eager to help, eager to learn, and occasionally oblivious to the chaos he leaves in his wake. He has a habit of dismantling things, both objects and ideas...and even relationships, not out of destruction but fascination. He wants to understand what makes something tick, to pull it apart down to its rawest mechanics. However, he doesn’t always have the patience or inclination to rebuild things the way they were. Instead, he scavenges from the parts, combining remnants of different systems and experiences into something wholly new, something inventive, if not always practical.

There’s a menace to Atlas—not malicious, but certainly chaotic. He can be frustratingly inconsistent and emotionally avoidant, sometimes leaving others behind in the wake of his restlessness. Yet despite that, he is loyal to his core, often emotionally overwhelmed by the depth of his feelings, even if he doesn’t know how to express them.

Atlas isn’t someone you can easily pin down, but he is someone you remember—often fondly, more often with exasperation.

WIZARDING UNIVERSITY: LONDON
September 2110 – June 2116
Dual Bachelor of Metallurgy & Metal Charming | Business Administration & Magical Management

• Metallurgy & Metal Charming
  • Specialized in enchanted alloys, historical magical forging methods, and spell-bound durability testing
  • Thesis: "Sentient Steel: Developing Responsive Metalwork for Adaptive Magical Use"
• Business Administration & Magical Management
  • Focus on small business operations, magical supply chains, and ethical sourcing of enchanted materials
    
    
  • Internships & Side Projects:
    • Co-developed a line of wand-accessory prototypes for high-intensity dueling environments
    • Created modular spellwork kits for young inventors, piloted at a summer camp for magically gifted youth
  
  
• POSTGRADUATE STUDIES
  Ph.D. Candidate in Metallurgy & Applied Enchantment (2116-present)
  • Research goals: Theoretical and practical frameworks for the development of autonomous, emotionally responsive magical constructs forged from enchanted metals. This work draws upon ancient golemcraft, modern enchanting systems, and experimental runic neural networks.
  • Working thesis (tentative): "Forged Sentience: Rethinking Construct Autonomy Through Emotionally Responsive Metals and Runic Cognition"
    
    His thesis explores:
    • Cognitive charm layering: the complex charm-stacking needed to simulate awareness, empathy, and learning patterns.
    • Emotion-responsive alloy theory: investigating rare magical metals that can attune or "bond" with specific emotional wavelengths, affecting behavior in sentient constructs.
    • Sentience vs. Servitude: the ethical dilemmas of free will in enchanted constructs.
    • Legacy Golemcraft vs. Modern Sentience: contrasting older control-based construct traditions (like golems and animated armors) with Atlas’s vision of autonomous, expressive metal creatures.
    • Runic neural mapping: creating enchanted "thought-paths" using runes to mimic neural synapses inside a metallic core.
