>>783762>Atticus AppletonIn my scrapped comic, This is Atticus Appleton before he turns into what he is today. In this iteration, Atticus is working hard to be an Engineer, not even as a wannabe but actually he has REAL potential to be one. Unfortunately, the townsfolk do not see him this way and calls him a fool. To put more salt to the wound, he is actually a very progressive thinking person for the time, a full on unionist republican who thinks that blacks and whites are equals. Atticus is way too idealistic and not the most pragmatic person so he does make a lot of mistakes. simply put it, given enough time, Atticus can actually be in the history books of great inventors, but that had never happened
Also Atticus is raised by a single mom who possibly runs the town's library and is into history too. Given that he is already a main line up character, I give him July 10th as his birthday which reference Nicholas Tesla's birthday
