His skin is lightly tan and his hair is combed back and looks neatly styled but if you touch it you'll notice it's actually just wet not gelled. He has strong features and slightly curved dark brown eyes.<br/>As a merman his tail is long and<a class="postlink" href="http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs6/i/2005/018/e/b/Hybrid_Merman_by_kian02.jpg">shark</a>like. Faded blue scales appear at his shoulders, chest, and frame of his face. 3 gills appear on both sides of his ribs and small ones on his neck.<br/>When in contact with small amounts of water the scales will become visible while he is in human form.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">C L O T H I N G:</span>Wears a white button up shirt with a dark grey sweater over it. He wears rolled up dark jeans with brown leather shoes. When he is in the water he wears heavy gold, silver, and precious gem jewelry but when he goes into the human world he takes off most of it an only leaves a few gold bracelets and a gold ring.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">P E R S O N A L I T Y:</span>He is very curious and open minded about the world around him. Almost like small child he will ask what things are and get over excited about them. He is also unused to humans and their world and will become stressed out at times if he does not understand something. His quirky nature causes others to find him oddly silly and charming if not a bit curious about him.<br/>Atlas will rarely speak about himself and prefer to hear the stories of others, asking them multiple questions ranging from extremely personal to common sense ones.<br/><br/>He loves nature and is extremely interested in animals although he is a little wary of them at first. He loves water and swimming but because he hides who he truly is he will seem like he doesn't like it and avoid anything to do with water. He enjoys learning about the world around him and taking apart things or investigating them.<br/><br/>He dislikes loud noises such as construction or aggressive music and people who are rude.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">H I S T O R Y:</span><br/>He was born in the aquatic city of Atlantis to the king Triton and a maid of the castle Asia. However because he was an illegitimate son he was not allowed a position of power but he was allowed to live in the castle with his mother and study there. He had many brothers and sisters due to Triton's promiscuous nature and lived with many of them in the castle. As he grew up he was much more curious than his siblings and often asked questions about the human world. However this was a cause of concern as visiting the human world was against the rules and they tried to focus his attentions on other things. This only fueled his desire and curiosity more leading him to escaping the castle one night when he was sixteen.<br/>He swam to the shore of the nearest city. It was cold and dark and after an unfortunate encounter with a fisherman, he managed to steal some clothes off of a clothing line and explore the human world more. He was in love with it and hid his clothes in a secret area so he could wear them when he came back.<br/>However because it was hard to leave the castle as there where guards everywhere he found he could only visit the human world once every couple of years usually on his birthday.<br/><br/>As he reached 25 an opportunity came up for him to take his extended vacation once more. The king had chosen him to represent Atlantis in a upcoming tournament in a neighboring ocean and after Atlas bid farewell to his mother and friends he sneaked off into the human world instead. They where expecting him to be gone for a couple of weeks which left him much more time above the shore than ever. To celebrate he stole new clean clothes off a drying line and dug up the money he had been collecting every time he came. While it would not buy him much he figured he could sell some of his gold jewelry to give him enough to live by for those couple of weeks.
