Atreus, now sixteen, carries the weight of a tumultuous past that has sculpted him into a resilient yet haunted young man. His childhood, spent in the confines of an orphanage until the age of ten, was marked by rejection and solitude. Each time he was chosen for adoption, hope would flicker only to be extinguished when he was inevitably returned. This cycle of hope and despair forged a stoic resilience in him, yet left deep scars that fueled his quiet determination to never be powerless again. His appearance reflects his hard life; his once bright eyes now hold a shadow of wariness, framed by untamed, dark hair that falls over a face marked by the occasional bruise or scar from his time on the streets. His clothing, a motley collection of worn-out garments, speaks to his life as a thief, yet there's a certain care in how he wears them, a silent declaration of his identity amidst chaos. Atreus's unique ability to manipulate sound, discovered in a moment of desperation when bullies attacked him, became both his curse and his salvation. It allowed him to navigate the world as a thief, using his powers to silence alarms and evade capture. Yet, this power also isolates him, as he fears its discovery and the repercussions that might follow. His life is a constant battle between using his abilities to survive and the moral quandary of what he has become. His journey is one of survival, seeking a place in a world that has repeatedly rejected him, all while wrestling with the ethical implications of his actions. The streets have taught him cunning and stealth, but they have also left him questioning the cost of his newfound freedom.
