Atlas Ernhardt

, a character in The Elementalists series, is Your Character's identical twin sibling. He/She is first seen in Chapter 1, but referred to as reflection.

It isn't until Chapter 10 that it is revealed that his/her name is Atlas.

Appearance
Atlas' gender and appearance changes according to the player's preferences for Your Character. He/she will always have the same gender and the same skin tone as you do, but their hair color will always be a silver of sorts. They wear a black leather jacket and white t-shirt.

Personality
Atlas seems to be a confident person who is a powerful attuned user. Much like the mythological character they're named after... It seems like they feel the world is on their shoulders and thus is jaded and doesn't trust easily. This is confirmed when when they tell Your Character to not trust any of the Pend Pals.

As a Moon-Att, Atlas tells you he/she has the ability to sense moods and emotions, but he/she is not looking forward to more heart-to-heart conversations with you. As Professor Swan tells you, Atlas has a lot of hard edges. Atlas appears to have no qualms about knocking people out (if Your Character isn’t skilled enough to hide her/him or improvise). Atlas also is frustrated that your caregivers did not train/teach/prepare you for the fight to come.

When asked what you guy's parents were like, Atlas tells you in Chapter 11 that he/she got his/her mom's magickal aptitude and problem solving. He/she goes onto joke that this must have missed you. He implies that between the two you, he's not the best at sports.

Your Character
Atlas tells Your Character that he/she is your twin sibling and this is confirmed when Atlas shows Your Character the other half of the photo you found in Chapter 4 of yourself as a baby. If you decide to see through Atlas’ memories in Chapter 11, Raife Highmore will refer to you as the older twin.

Professor Swan
She admits to knowing Atlas and calls him/her by name when Your Character saves them from the Shade that attacks them in Chapter 10. They subsequently reveal to Your Character that they had no idea Atlas had been stuck in the Mirror Dimension this whole time. Before the two of you go back to your dorm in Chapter 11, she tells you how Atlas did a lot to keep you safe and shield you from the evils out there.

Unnamed Mother
Atlas' caretakers told him/her that your mom never lost hope that you'd all get through this and be a family again.
