How Many Pitbulls Could A Baby Eat
So for a while now, I wanted to give Max a rival character that opposes him in every way, down to his color scheme. I had nothing better to do, so I started making his concept and—despite hating the color yellow—I really like it so far.

His Arc ability is gravity manipulation, and he occasionally creates handheld black holes that he can “deploy”. Basically if Max creates an explosion, he can suck it into a black hole. It’s not entirely invincible though, Max can create a delayed explosive that only goes off once inside the black hole. The force of the explosion (not the explosion itself) will end up damaging the small realm the black hole creates, “hurting” Atlas in a way and rendering his Arc briefly unusable. And while Max uses a plethora of weapons, this guy kicks ass with nothing but his Arc and his bare hands.

He’s also opposing him in personality. Max is bold and confident, he’s calm and analytical. Max embraces technology, Atlas upholds Grodot’s sense of life and overabundance of plant-life. That’s why his clothing is Roman-ish, because it looks cool technology wasn’t really a thing back then, like Atlas wants it to be. It’s also why they fight a lot, as Atlas views Max’s love of technology as a reckless nuisance that needs to be dealt with.

Atlas is also a Pyrite, a name which will probably be changed. Pyrites, like their names suggests, are fake Grodotnites made by the Machinists by fusing their crystals with their bodies. Atlas here was one of the many failed prototypes, causing damage to his body.
