Atticus is a 22 year old dancer who was cursed by the god Apollo for mocking him in a performance. Atticus is cursed so that if he ever falls in love, his body will begin to deteriorate and rot, eventually dying. Because of this Atticus has sworn off love and will do everything in his power to not fall in love. Because of this, Atticus keeps people at an arm's distance and simply wishes to live life dancing for small crowds, yet sometimes he still yearns for love despite the pain it will bring.
