Atlas Volkov is a reserved, stoic Elf blacksmith and monk with the rare dual affinity for Fire and Ice. He uses fire to honor his family's craft but is deeply ashamed of his volatile ice powers, which surge uncontrollably with his repressed emotions, isolating him from others.

Background and Story Arc

Born into a large, loving family of blacksmiths who are castaways from the traditional Elf District, Atlas learned forging from a young age. A traumatic childhood incident where his panic killed a butterfly with a blizzard cemented his fear and shame of his ice powers. He now lives and works in the Adventure District, struggling to control his abilities and his emotions.

Why Eldoria?

He is a native of Eldoria. His family lives in the Adventure District because they are seen as outcasts from the traditionalist Elf District due to their acceptance of non-artisan trades.

• Dual Shame: Ashamed of his dual elements and his family's outcast status, which fuels his panic.
• Emotional Trigger: His ice powers are tied to fear and anxiety, fire to passion and control.
• Trauma Origin: A childhood blizzard, triggered by a startled panic, killed a butterfly and flowers, creating his core fear.
