LET'S GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER ' '
Personality Description: Altough seemingly almost calm outside, Atlas is in turmoil from the inside. He still holds a grudge against many of the Olympians, especially Zeus, but rarely lets it show. He can hide his felings very well if needed to. He doesn't let his temper to get hold on himself, but when it rarely does, you'd better not be standing next to him. Atlas is a leader type, hungry for power and he would eagerly see the Titans taking back their rightful place over the Olympian gods. He has a strong sense of loyalty and honor and remembers those, who have fought beside him in the Titanomachy. On the other hand, he more or less secretly loathes those who sided with Zeus back then. A few fellow Titans, even his brothers Prometheus and Epimetheus, did so and he consideres them traitors.

Titan Iapetus is his father and Oceanid Clymene is his mother. He has three brothers: Prometheus, Epimetheus and Menoetius. He is married with an Oceanid Nymph Pleione and they have seven daughters, the Pleiades: Maia, Electra, Taygete, Alcyone, Celaeno, Sterope and Merope.
History:
Atlas led the Titans in their battle against the Olympian gods. After ten years of Titanomachy, the Titans were defeated and many of them were confined to Tartarus. Zeus singled out Atlas, on whom he placed a greater burden. Atlas was tasked with bearing the heavens upon his shoulders.
Atlas tirelessly continued this task, until Heracles encountered him during his twelve labours. Atlas agreed to fetch the Golden apples of Hesperides for him and in return, Heracles slew Hesperides and built two great pillars at the ends of the Earth to relieve Atlas from his labour. Atlas still holds a grudge against the Olympians.

Roleplaying Sample: (From Mescalana, a scifi rpg)
Working at the famed CERN research facility may seem all fun and games at first, but when the normal routine there starts, it’s beginning to seem like a Chinese sweatshop. He had been working on the new project to create an interstellar colony ship for quite some time now. Adrian was thrilled about his assignment, but at the time, they seemed to be getting nowhere. CERN had evolved from the particle psychics laboratory as which it started, into a full blown future tech research center, focusing on areas like aerospace engineering and astro psychics and as such, working in a very close co-operation with the European Space Agency. Recently it has diverted any available resources in those departments into working on the Colony Ship.
Adrian was running long hours again. He was part of the team tasked with dividing the power created by the ship’s power core so that every part of the ship gets as sufficient amount. Recently, they’ve had trouble balancing between the engines and the life support. The clock was ticking at midnight, but still he was bent over his desk, which in fact was a large touchscreen on which he could write his equations as well as other things. There was a few other screens in the room, none of which displayed anything of interest at this point. A holographic display was also there, running on a loop a simulation of the ship’s power grid and usually ending up with a message indicating power failure.
A woman in a white labcoat entered the room. “Coffee, Adrian?” she asked with a smile. She had brought two cups of coffee with her.
“Thank you Susan, this is just what I need right know. Should you have come a few minutes later, you’d propably have caught me sleeping on the job.” he said and laughed. Adrian took a sip from his cup. How strange. Despite all the technological breakthroughs in the past century, he still preferred ordinary Coffee over anything else as a refreshing agent.
“So… How’s it going with your project?” Susan asked and seemingly noticed how the holographic simulation ended up in yet another failure-message.
“Well, I am quite sure we have almost solved the problem and we’ll be… Who am I kidding? I have checked the whole thing a thousand times now and I’m not getting anywhere closer to the solution.” Adrian said with a frusterated tone.
“I’m sorry to hear that. Hmm, actually, could I take a look at what you’ve been doodling over there?”
“By all means, I got it all backed up.” Said Adrian and focused in drinking his coffee.
“Hmm, yeah, if I were you, I’d change these parameters over here. It seems you are leaking too much power to the engines.” Said Susan.
“Worth a try I guess.” Adrian leaned over to his computer and modified a few things.
“Now we’ll just see what happens.” He flicked a button and the simulation was ran with the new parameters. The result showed now a balanced distribution of power across the ship. “Could it be? Yes, yes, the results are valid. Not necessary the best configuration, but it works.” He turned to Susan. “ Thank you, you’re an angel!” said Adrian and kissed her to the cheek. “I got to show this to the top brass.” He copied the data to a memory stick and took it out of the computer. “Thanks again Susan, I owe you one!” said Adrian. He took his coat and left Susan and his half empty coffee mug in his room as he dashed to meet his superiors.
