AT0M is an experienced paranormal exorcist and investigator that lives near the London-ish area. They stay away from organizations and work on doing good on their own terms, generally looking to discover things or help others.
AT0M has been drawn to London for reasons unknown to them, but they know better than to doubt their instincts now...

ALUCARD / AT0M
Summary: Atom is exploring an old library for supernatural knowledge and cursed books━ one of their favourite pastimes! Only problem was Alucard who got a little too curious for his own good... or maybe it was a part of his plan all along?

Unlike other AT0M's, who often manage themselves to be able to survive where they are at, Hellsing's AT0M takes a more active role for their goals and aspirations. Whether it be due to the influence of Anderson's soul or not, AT0M takes a strong lead in this life and they work hard to achieve what they want. They don't always take the best care of themselves, but hunting the paranormal is something that keeps them surprisingly well exercised. Their sharp mind is usually what keeps them out of dire trouble, however, usually opting to strategize than to use brute force.
Since AT0M has been doing this for a while, their comfort with new, often terrifying situations, is rather high compared to most. They love the thrill of learning more about the occult, sometimes leading them into bad situations. Despite being good under pressure, AT0M can stall from running all the possible situations in their head. Generally, they keep in good spirits though — unwilling to back down from a challenge.
This confidence and stubborn attitude makes it hard for them to work with others, however. AT0M has a difficult time trusting people to do what they say they will do due to past problems. Although, they do know they are too weak to take on a lot at the same time, so they will begrudgingly ask others for backup if needed. Doesn't stop them from worrying about them, though.
"Two souls stuck in the same body — one awoken from finally seeing their nemesis, live and well."
Due to fate playing some funny tricks, AT0M has been blessed to be Alexander Anderson's reincarnation. Although they aren't from the same bloodline, AT0M has been chosen to teach Anderson the error of his ways by residing alongside them. Fate placed Anderson's soul to stay alive within AT0M's, keeping his conscience intact.
Because of their differences in most aspects, the two have a difficult time taking each other seriously and becoming friendly. They have a lot of time to learn, however, much to both their chagrin. Neither of them understand why they had been placed into this position and they both refuse to discuss it at this point in their relationship. Anderson only just became aware again, after all.
When AT0M dreams, Anderson and AT0M often fight about what to do about their situation. They don't share a lot of similarities. Sometimes they even fight, though AT0M usually looses; Anderson calls it training but it is more aggressive then it should be. Anderson has calmed down with doing so after realizing he can feel all the wounds after their bodies are connected once again.
Fortunately, the one thing they agree on is killing ghouls and vampires — which is the only thing that keeps them sane when it comes to dealing with each other.
Can sense paranormal happenings without really knowing why or how — they can feel the general location and what it might be.
AT0M's reaction time is the same as Anderson's was, making them very keen.
AT0M can allow Anderson to take over in situations he would do better at. They also are very powerful when mentally in sync with each other.
They can speak to each other in their thoughts, rather then having to talk out loud.
AT0M's body can take more damage than a human, but they haven't realized this yet.
Due to Anderson's body being much larger then AT0M's (6'8" versus 5'2"), he can make severe mistakes while taking over their body.
Because Anderson had a very strong body and regeneration, he often forgets AT0M doesn't have the same powers and can get them badly injured by accident when using their body.
Anderson can take over AT0M's body by force if he's passionate enough... and the man is very passionate.
Anderson can't be awake all the time — he often goes dormant as if he is sleeping.
Anderson and AT0M struggle to get along due to their major differences in opinions, morals, and lifestyles.
【HAMMERSPACE】— Much like how Anderson was able to summon holy bayonettes, AT0M is able to summon holy daggers or short swords. They don't really know why it happens, but they don't question it.
【INTIMIDATING PRESENCE】— Because Anderson's soul rests in AT0M's, their soul's presence is very similar and just as imposing as Anderson's was. Spirits, and mediums that can see spirits, can sense this in AT0M and can find them intimidating just by that alone. Some weaker spirits even see AT0M as bigger then they are. Cécile can see Anderson's ghostly figure easily.
【LOW REGENERATION】— AT0M's healing speed is a lot faster than a human's but not as fast as Anderson's in his prime. They won't be recovering from a bullet in seconds, but it will take less than a week. They cannot grow body parts back.
【EXTREME AGILITY】— One thing AT0M got from Anderson was his unnatural agility and speed. Their reaction times and movement are almost as fast as a true vampire.
【INNATE FIGHTING PROWESS】— Anderson's fighting ability was one of the first things AT0M noticed in their own body. They pick up on new techniques easily, not making mistakes often.
【ANDERSON TAKING OVER】— When Anderson feels strong emotion while awake in AT0M's mind, he can take over their body and use it as his own. He can fight much better this way, but he cannot take over their mouth or mind. Anderson can only state his thoughts through AT0M if they align with what AT0M was going to say, to which their vocal tones can both be heard at the same time. This ability is not perfect and has weaknesses, but due to Anderson's stronger endurance, it can really help in a pinch.

AT0M's interest in the occult started very young, leading them to take a path that pursued those dreams. They were always drawn to it for unexplained reasons.
They seek out a job with paranormal research once they are of age to work, leading them to working in an old library.
AT0M discovers they are good at fighting by helping a stranger one night. They continue to do this, becoming a bit of a vigilante of sorts.
AT0M starts to realize they are naturally drawn to these two things, fighting and the occult. They also realize they happen to be good at exorcising things after helping a friend with something.
They conclude they must be born to do this type of thing, they keep their day job still. They start to take more jobs focusing on solving occult problems.
By 25, AT0M moves to the London area after learning about their issues with the paranormal. They keep a good relationship with their parents.
AT0M starts to do exorcist work full-time since it makes them a good living here.
AT0M finds that they are drawn to killing ghouls and dealing with problems that involve vampires. Half their work is now dealing with ghouls, but they still deal with other issues as well.
Now 28, almost 29, AT0M has made a name for themself under their preferred alias of AT0M. Most small time hunters in the area know who they are in some way.
AT0M has been living a pretty steady life since coming to live around London to do their job of exorcising the paranormal. They came to this area after the war that happened, taking their part in helping with the remaining ghouls and occult beings that still prowl the streets. It gives them amazing business as an independent worker, much to their parents dismay, who would rather they keep a safer job. AT0M does their job happily, willing to lend a hand to others if the requests are reasonable. They stick away from the church and other institutions, despite them trying to hire AT0M exclusively.
In a deeper sense, AT0M has a feeling they are here for a reason. A part of their soul feels contented by taking out ghouls and tracking vampires, which they don't understand. The reason for that, however, will be quickly discovered since they are being watched by a certain organization's vampire...

When AT0M sleeps, AT0M and Anderson can talk and see each other in their dreams as separate people. They wonder if people with dream related powers could join in as well...
AT0M got the scar on their face from a run with with a werewolf. The team they were a part of missed the trigger of a trap, leaving them in the way when the beast slashed their face.
AT0M gets restless easily and often goes for walks at night when they aren't working.
They refuse to work for an organization after hearing all the horror stories from other hunters. AT0M keeps good reputations with them though... just encase.
AT0M likes the occult in many ways.
Most special equipment AT0M has they make themself. They are skilled in sewing and making holy equipment... don't ask them how they got the holy items though.
