ATLAS

Once you appoint yourself to be one of the Anti-Tyranny Legion of Assassin Saviors, there is no turning back. You become an assassin for the rest of your life, taking on the jobs no one would do by their will alone. You are one of the thousands that live to break the Rosstone Empire's tyrranical grasp from our freedom.

You may battle alongside one of the most efficient of our assassins, a Sword User by name James Christopher Merrick, codename M. He is not only an effective close-quarters combat companion, but is also the very tip of our spear when it comes to overthrowing the Rosstones. However, his actions may falter in the presence of another assassin who seems to be his love interest, another Sword User called Silvia Lorette Lester, codenamed L. They are almost equal in skill, though Merrick is also an adept at hand-to-hand combat, a weakness for Lester who is impractically weak despite her efficient sword skills.

You might also meet the mentor of the previous two, a Bludgeon Wielder called Benjamin Hurt. He uses a cross-shaped club which he can also use as a sword at times. His is the way of defense, as he is more expected to take on enemies from afar. His aim is flawless, and his trained eye also makes him a Searcher, which is useful in search & destroy requests as well as some rescue missions.

The ATLAS will accept any and every person willing to fight for their ideals, but they won't allow anyone surrendering their skill to the power-hungry Rosstones. The penalty for cowardice is death, lest the assassin commit suicide for the sake of his/her dignity. Though we have lost many brave and honorable fighters during the course of our 80 years of existence, we have not lost the confidence in that we will someday emerge as the secret writers of the history of HeroVille, and our names shall never be forgotten...
