~50 / SYNTHETIC (REALIST) / PRIVATE EYE & ALL-AROUND NUISANCE

one of the original synthetics created for swingers, where he was known as slick hudson. he played the part of the quintessential Hardboiled Detective and was exceptionally prone to monologuing.

within a decade, he accumulated enough sleuthing skills to discover his true origin and went rogue. his trail went cold because he had his memory wiped somewhere in zeigta. while he forgot everything about his life as slick hudson, he still had the same drive: to help those in need!!

runs sly detective agency and specializes in missing persons cases – particularly if they’ve run cold. interested parties can also recruit him for some light reconnaissance/spying/snooping, but like, he has standards. not many, but he has them.

in addition to finding people who don’t want to be found, atticus can help others disappear... for a price. (synths are free.)

absolutely gets on the nerves of the police because he’s basically made himself at home in their records rooms (which makes it very hard to do crimes in there), and he is always discreetly foiling runners’ attempts to wrangle up other synthetics. oopsie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

half-prototype, half-relic, he straddles the divide between mechanical and organic synthetics. he ages much slower than the average human, which requires him to live a fairly clandestine life. his face is a bit of a giveaway so he’s taken to hiding under hats and big coats. very noir.

self-aware in that he knows he’s synthetic. he doesn’t know he was part of swingers, but he’s got a Hunch. some of his parts are starting to deteriorate due to age and wear, so he’s gotta keep those exposed wires covered up.

aloof in just about all other aspects that aren’t directly related to sleuthing. his cold electronic heart is in the right place, but he’s v rough around the edges, irrationally defensive, and the definition of obstinate. 

pretends he is only in it for the money, but if atticus had a dollar for every time he got himself emotionally compromised... he’d probably only have like ten dollars but that’s enough for a fancy cocktail at a themed bar so whatever! 🍹
