King Atlas, Keeper of the Night Sky
"Goddess Cerridwen, if you hear me, know all the stars in my sky shine for Furtopia"
King Atlas is like a fairytale ruler come to life. He lives to serve his kingdom and the Godess, being fair and humble. He is very noble and kind, taking it upon himself to right the wrongs people have done during his reign. He has the power to control the night sky, adding and taking away stars as he pleases. If you were to look at the way he acts around the Goddess, you would think he fancies her. However, this is nowhere near the case. In fact, Atlas sees her more like a big sister.
"Sir, you may be seeing me as worthy of this title, but even a king has his secrets"
Atlas is much different than he was when he was younger. Growing up as a demi-god prince, he was spoiled and ultimately knew he could get away with anything. He would lie, steal, destroy things, just to blame it on innocent Furtopians. The pride went to his head, and he was like this for years before he finally realized how his subjects cowered in fear at the sight of them. This was not the way a ruler should rule, and no way for citizens to live. So he changed his ways, trying to change the views of Furtopia toward him. Eventually, he was forgiven, but the guilt of his past ways still stays with him.
"See those stars up there? There's one for every citizen who's ever been under my command."
If you look at the night sky, what you might see is a whole bunch of randomly placed lights. However, there is a method to the madness. Every single star represents a fallen Furtopian. King Atlas makes it his job to craft a unique star for every citizen of his kingdom. When they die, he places that star in a special spot in the sky- his way of thanking his subjects for being loyal to him. This may seem odd, but Atlas feels a great bond to Furtopia, and doing anything less than what he's capable of to give back to it, is not an option.
