Series: From Rebirth
Entry: N/A
Character:Artos Vicar "Bourei" (Alternate Universe Atlas Vicar)
Listening: "The Bread Song" by Utsu-P feat. Sekihan

Sorry I have not been posting; I recently moved and also took on a few larger pieces (like this one) that are taking me a while to finish. Not exactly great for productivity...

As such, I am posting, what I would say, is actually the middle version of this piece. I have already posted the sketch to my scraps, and I wish to digitally colour it, but I have not had the time to put together my "frankenbox" that will be my drawing box. Perhaps I will just knuckle down and use my gaming PC even though its setup is not the best or most comfortable for digital artwork. I just want to FINALLY finish this after literally weeks of working on it, haha.

Another AU version of Atlas; this one is a more recent addition to the "Versioning" of Vicar that started as sort of a joke about an edgy version of the otherwise saintly Vicar (pun intended), but like anytime I try to make a edgy joke version of a character, they end up with a much more serious characterization than anticipated. As such Wraith/Bourei has become more so the version of Atlas that is sort of the "inverse" of his personality while still retaining Atlas' heroism, morality and honour.

Atlas is gentle (aside from when he necessarily needs to use his fighting talents), softspoken, and tends to keep his thoughts to himself. He is truthful still, but he plays his cards carefully and tries not to let his emotions get the better of him. Most defining is his unshakeable will; he does not remember much of his past before becoming a Phantom (aside from the events leading up to being Cybernetically enhanced) but he has a sense that he overcame being destroyed once before, and therefore, faces things with a serenity and endurance that borders on supernatural. He comes back from mental, physical and emotional damage that would obliterate a weaker man.

Wraith ("Bo", as I sometimes refer to him) -- on the other hand -- wears his heart on his sleeve, has a brutal truthfulness to him, and is wiling to take on any fight that comes his way to avenge what has been done to his home of System City and the people crushed under Divinity Group's foot. More unstable than that Atlas, he is strongly effected by everyone and everything; it's harder for him to overcome the betrayals he has faced or the constant spite and fear people heap on him as a Phantom. Despite this making him exhausted, sarcastic and irritable, Bourei is still a very empathetic soul; he does not forgive easy, but he does understand people and cares deeply for their wellbeing beneath the barbed words he throws at most. He can be angry but he never really hates. If anything, understanding people's fear and pain is what drives him to destroy Divinity Group and the Viruses that haunt System City, even if he has to do that with nothing more than his bare hands.

Most importantly, whereas Atlas adores coffee and tea with as little sweetener as possible, Wraith is an extreme sugar enthusiast who would eat himself sick on sweet breads.

I have a few writings for Atlas I would like to edit and post in the future even though they are older now, and am working on a short sort of "Character study" piece for Wraith, but we will see.

Hopefully, that was not more information than you all wanted. I am very passionate about Atlas despite him not being part of From Rebirth's main narrative. I have a habit of getting attached to side characters; doesn't matter of their in an existing series or something I created. As you might have gathered already, haha!
