Description Here's Atticus' reference! I figured I needed a better view of his markings, and of course a profile ^.^ I did not shade anything so you could get a better feel for his colors So, again my entry for *Failed-romance-x 's Reaper contest. I actually think I may enter another one...who knows? So, here's his profile, it's super long!

One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything.

Name: Atticus
Age: Unknown. Appears to physically be in the late of his prime.
Gender: Stallion
Role: Soul Judge
Aura Color: Light purple
Species: Unicorn Reaper
Tail: Leonine (Note that he has two tails! Two!)
Hooves: Cloven
Beard: Yes
Ears: Tufted (So fluffy ^.^)
Horn: Very dark reddish rosewood: [link] Curved into a crescent moon like shape.
Gem: Soft purple teardrop shape
Power: Atticus is a judge of souls departed from the world. His job is not one to be taken lightly, he can grant the deceased with passage, or barricade their way. A job that takes knowledge, an open and non biased mind and finality.
Personality: Born blind, Atticus has never been swayed or fooled by the outward appearance of any mortal. This aids him greatly in his judgments. He can look into the hearts and souls of whomever his is judging, he sees past their outer shell into their True Self. He can get the feel of anyone upon their first meeting, their true persona. He has a way of seeing internally past all the show, past whatever mask or façade you’re putting on when you first meet him. Often times this is unnerving to those who are acquainted with Atticus, making him unpopular among some, but a true friend to others.
In return, he will not try to fool, trick or hi-jinx those whom he meets. He’s blunt and forward, but not always rude. He’s usually polite, though the questions he asks might make one think he’s trying to trick them, there’s always a rhyme to his reasoning.
There’s no denying he’s mysterious, but how can he not be, being a judge of souls. He can pass between two worlds: the world of the unicorns and other Reapers, and his own personal Purgatory, where he judges. In his world, the Soul sees the world as Atticus does. A dark and misty world, black and gray with only faint shadows as a guide. Atticus is the only thing that appears whole and real before them to pass his judgment. He talks them through what they have done, make them looks over their lives, choices, mistakes and good they have done or made. It’s as if he’s a voice who has been in their head all their lives, seeing everything as they saw it and knowing what they were thinking. He takes his time to decide, never pressuring, never angering. His voice is calming and pleasant to listen to. It‘s almost as if he has the power to pass calmness over the Souls he judges..

A few more words to describe him: Very intelligent…deeply thoughtful…wise…mysterious…cautious…patient…trying…kind…stubborn…

Other notes on design: He is blind, his eyes are white with no pupils. He has two tails, black and white, two main and final paths for you to take, the stripes represent the choices along the way and other roads branching out. His main is tipped with black and purple, his black tail is as well but only slightly. His mane and white tail are more cream colored then pure white. Neither path it total good or bad. His beard is black with a single white stripe running through it. His markings are symmetrical and his stomach is white, not gray. He has a fairly heavy build, but not totally draft-like, he needs to be stable enough to be intimidating and handle rowdy Souls, but not so solid that he cannot travel between worlds.

Enjoy!

The right fron leg is too short. *grins annoyingly*

'Tis a good drawing, though. This is my sort of character... I hope to see more of him. 8D

I love the two-tailed design! He's really cool looking, especially with that creepy, twisted horn of his.

What is he named after, though? (Atticus Finch? XD)

Thank you!

Actually, it sort of was. We've just finished reading To Kill A Mockingbird in english (which I loved! ) And the name did come from it, but the character of Atticus isn't really part of my Atticus. He was one of my favs though ^.^ So, really just the name came from the book, not the character

Welcome!

Yeah, the character did seem a little off, but seeing as Atticus isn't exactly the most common name, I kinda thought that might be where you got the idea from. XD

I really enjoy what you wrote for this character. I don't know what it is, but there is something about him that I really like. I love his design - kudos for a wicked color scheme. It's pretty simple, and I love it! And I love the quote!

It seems that you did a lot of thinking for his character. I can tell that you put a lot of time into this. Nice description. A part of me wouldn't want to meet him; I'm afraid to know the real person I am inside. It's a deep subject you know? lol. But it's great that he is how he is. Kinda sucks being blind, but it adds to his character.

Good job!

Aww, thank you so much! Comments like this are the best

I'm really glad you think so, I was afraid I didn't really have enough written for him, it almost felt kind of rushed, even though I spent quite some time on him, he's been in the works for a few months I loved the quote too!

I was taking a kind of religious view on the whole Purgatory thing, making the Souls look over their lives again. I know what you mean about looking inside yourself, but I'm glad you feel that way because that's what I was going for with him ^.^ I'm so glad you wrote this comment, and that you like him! Thank you!

Of course! I must admit that I am quite intrigued with him. Do you mind if I draw a picture of him with one of my characters? No guarantee when I'll have the completed picture posted anytime soon. I have a bad habit of sketching them but never coloring them. That and my mom is in the hospital so when I'm not at the hospital with her, I'm here cleaning the house 'cause dad spends most of his time with her. But I will try to work on it as much as I can.

I'd love if you drew him! Not a problem, I do the same thing. I have so many sketches and ideas I wish I could finish, but just don't
I'm sorry that your mom is in the hospital Has she been there for a while, I remember she was a little while back.

Haha, being an artist sucks sometimes.

She's been there for about a week. Her gallbladder had to be taken out. Nothing too serious, but the surgery was risky because she is a cancer patient and her blood platelets (the things that clot the blood) were low. She's fine now. Just healing up and waiting to come home. We expect her back by Thursday or Friday. I'm excited. I'm a Mama's girl. I miss her bunches!

Indeed

Oh, I remember now, I'm sorry, I hope she heals up soon. good to know she'll be back home soon though! ^.^ I know what you mean, I'm a total mama's girl too
