for these hands bring bloodㅤ&ㅤgore.
ㅤlet them consume these sins.
atticus underwood is a man of high renown, known staunchly for his services to the public eye as the standard for hunters, here, where every dark corner is filled with horrors beyond imagine. where blood has seen daylight more than eyes turned to the sun. where the tick of time is a haunting melody heard most than the joys of human chatter. many have often asked how did you come into their line of business? and the answers that come never readies those for the cold, twisted truth : death, raging fires, the screams, the crying, and frantic prayers to a being gone deaf - a massacre.
atticus is just like any other working man in this grotesque underbelly, most dealings come with a price upon another's head. others deal with creatures that go bump in the night, nothing is different - there is no difference to a job ; how many times has he lodged a bullet through a human's skull after they begged with pockets full of coin? pathetic, the lot of them. bribing their way out of punishment when they realize the powers they hold are lukewarm at best when a gun barrel is aimed at their heads. pathetic sons of bitches atticus would call them. doesn't mean the coin in their pocket will return to the rich, though, they will be distributed amongst the less fortunate. blood money, but it's money nonetheless. he will bear the blood. he will bear the sin of murder.
he and many other survivors have been made witnesses to the bloodshed, many continue to weep deep into the night. play the smiling face in the daytime, but come night the world comes crashing down once more. i do it all for her, comes a solemn reply. where old pictures are pinched between metal digits of a bright smiling baby in the arms of a woman, clueless to the world around her. clueless to the dangers that exist in the city they live in. i will kill for her if it means she stays safe. atticus would kill, and gouge, and maim, dismember, and stab anyone upon a stake all that would look her way with harmful intent.
it must be hard, to balance fatherhood and your work. it always has been, there is no denying that. leaving for long periods of time to do as he must from dusk to dawn and back again. the rare times he is able to set foot within that house made of wood and old scuff marks, deep within those woods that have shielded them from harm thus. it has always been hard to come home to a sibling who worries more than her heart could take, holding her niece who has been a beacon of love and warmth and all things human. but when he holds her in her arms, the world melts away, it becomes nothing but silence - nothing but the warmth her squealing laughter brings, or those ear shattering cries ; however long he must hold her and bounce her in his arms, he would do it all over again.
have you thought about our last meeting, mr. underwood? smoke escapes soft tiers - uninterested, another unimportant figure trying to climb the social ladder. that depends, what's in it for me? the cigarette returns to lips and the hunter kicks feet upon the table's surface, mismatched hair slips past broad shoulders. last I checked yer bottom barrel, tiny. thinkin' of playin' with the big boys now? a heavy hand slams down in response ; atticus remains unflinching. ive been at the bottom long enough, atticus! I will not be judged by a mindless fucking killer, either you do your fucking job, or get out of my face!
that ... oh that gets a reaction. it's slow, measured, it brings forth laughter and a shake of his head, mmh, been awhile since someone last spoke t' me like that. fluidly, he rises from his seat and spurs jingle with each heavy step. a strong grip on the head of the man's chair is all that's needed to swerve the other to face him now. i suggest you watch yer tone. like a flicker the fear sets in, with a small tilt of his head, atticus continues. last man that spoke to me like that doesn't exist anymore. i can kill you right now and no one will bat an eye. remember that.

Fandomless
main verse ; default ; triggers present
atticus is a man of many talents, here where creatures lurk in the night to the corruption of mankind. here he is an extension of one's rage, sorrows, misery - a beginning to another's end. from hushed whispers that lurk betwixt muted cobblestone alleys to the rotting wooden homes of the ancient, lowly towns. even to the expanse of the political cesspool of hidden violence, bloodshed, and sacrifice within the upper city - there is no one that can hide from the hunter's sight.this verse is ever developing with a strict thematic close to the dark, dreary southern, fantasy goth world of victorian horrors, the occult, supernaturals, and all things violent and gore. so warning is thoroughly and heavily advised when interacting with this world verse. anything and everything will be tagged.
Final Fantasy
tertiary verse ; request ; triggers present
atticus is a man of global renown for his work. whether in good or bad light, one thing is known about this sky pirate : no matter the price, he will see his work through. no one left behind, and sure as hell getting out of sticky situations with a pretty penny added to his pocket. hailing from a distant land with a fleet of airships, atticus is the leader of a loyal, rowdy, and prideful gang of sky pirates that soar the skies across all continents that hold hidden treasures eager to be snatched.
Castlevania
tertiary verse ; request ; triggers present
a man who has seen more death than any human should naturally witness. after the massacre of his people at the hands of humans themselves, atticus has turned to the dark art employed by dracula himself and thus, he is a devil forgemaster working under dracula. infinitely a loyal man, his work often takes him traveling to report the endeavors of his dark lord's wishes. but he is known to be a gentleman with a heart of gold, but that gold has been shrouded with anger and pain. would he ever be able to go against his lord's reign of horrors?
Golden Peaks
closed ; lore from goldcnpeaks ; triggers present
death, a blessing and a haunting. atticus came to golden peaks with the sole purpose of searching for a missing family member. his youngest sister, davina had disappeared one night - but the scene left behind was horrific. any normal person would surmise she perished. but atticus knew better, his sister was no lightweight in self defense. all the leads he had gathered pointed to one place : golden peaks. his untrusting heart was now only riddled with worry and fear. davina ... where are you? and are you really here?
Honkai Star Rail
secondary verse ; request ; triggers present
pretty cut and dry in terms of portrayal, but this follows the events from 2.2 onwards, mixed with personal canon divergencies that allow for a more flexible storytelling and plotline. this verse requires heavy plotting for easier exploration.
Supernatural Hunter
gothic horror verse ; request ; triggers present
a young man who once witnessed a brutal massacre at the hands of supernatural creatures. with this haunting memory following him throughout the various stages of his life, he believed that putting this anger, this fear and upset would serve him better in a more weighty dynamic. however, upon returning home, nothing really changed. people continued to die in cold blood, others continued to live in fear. one night during a hunt, atticus, too, became a victim. but one that could live to tell it, under a new name : boothill. affiliated with tianzen
