Atra was once a monster of necessity, seeking to bend the galaxy towards his own ideals. However, having come to the conclusion that only complete destruction would ever result in lasting peace, Atra turned his back on the very cause he had dedicated himself to. Instead, he decided to avoid making an impact and shed his monstrous shroud, focusing entirely on the collection and curation of knowledge both new and old. His actions are driven by this purpose, seeing him often travelling from place to place and securing deals when necessary.

But the scars of corruption run deep, and power will always have an impact. Like the eye of a storm, Atra presents as a calm sage but remains an unpredictable calamity beneath the surface. Push too far in any one direction and the storm's destructive nature is revealed, whether intended or not...for good and for ill.

Atra has a fully developed cocksure attitude that is often deceptive due to his quiet nature, making it more subtle but it is there nonetheless. He holds confidence in himself and the steps he decides to take, even when lacking cause to do so. Personal experience, after all, is the best teacher, while others are hazardous to trust. Should he make a mistake, Atra falls back on his belief that he'll be able to handle anything. He fully expects that no plan would survive first contact, so there's no need to worry beyond that. Still, even when he isn't the smartest person in the room, Atra is certain he's the most correct one, and he doesn't make an effort to hide it.

As a result of this, he will generally disregard the experience or perspective of others over his own. Often to his own detriment, making things harder for himself.

Atra has no patience for anything he deems "not worth his time". This is most obvious when it comes to honorifics, with Atra showing an almost pathological aversion towards the use of titles, often referring to others regardless of rank by their last name. To him, respect is something earned by every individual and is never conferred by a mere title, making it a waste of effort to recognize. This tendency to "get at 'er" continues in all aspects of his life. Whether it be an unwelcome advance or a looming confrontation, Atra will always opt to ignore anything he deems wasteful before facing it—usually with more than the recommended dose of sass.

This quirk runs Atra afoul of those who put stock in their titles and even those with any sense of pride. After all, it's easy for situations to escalate when it's obvious he couldn't care less.

Atra is a quiet individual, opting to use as few words as possible while preferring to communicate through facial expressions and reactionary movements of his eyebrows. Despite this, he remains a highly sarcastic individual that's always in thought as he constantly judges the people around him. He watches carefully and measures both what individuals say and what they do in order to reach conclusions early and often. As a result, he's ready to ply his dry wit through a quick barb or sarcastic remark when the opportunity best presents itself.

At the same time, he has a tendency to try to lead others towards arriving at their own self-defeating conclusions all while he feigns an attempt to 'understand' what they're saying. This teasing combined with his sarcasm is almost guaranteed to put Atra at odds with those he's targeted, while capable of grating on those who don't share his humor.

Atra Ventus has learned to accept the power he once abhorred. In embracing it, he has cultivated a technique of combat that combines physical ability with the metaphysical likes of telekinesis and even using lightning for fatal strikes or emergency defense. Atra Ventus's method is to remain in a centralized space, moving only as much as he has to in order to avoid attacks while using the world around him as his weapon. He'll bring in debris—even creating it when not freely available—to block and strike his targets while personally striking those who get close—though he'd prefer to never let them do so. When facing difficulty, Atra Ventus will use his lightsabers instead of debris.

This heavy focus on the Force allows him to stand as a powerful foe, but he will tire quickly against ever greater numbers of combatants and is at risk of succumbing to those who can outlast him.

Atra Ventus knows that most battles are lost long before the final blow. It is something he seeks to leverage at all times. He values an opponent's thoughts and reactions as much as their combat ability, putting pressure on them verbally to gather more information. He turns them into a puzzle to be solved. Combat itself becomes secondary to this mental war, and he won't hesitate to settle into a lull in favor of what he considers to be the more important battlefront.

While understanding and, potentially, breaking another person mentally is a reliable method, no two individuals function the same. It's a tightrope between tipping matters in his own favor or sending things off the deep end. A foe could be built up just as easily as they're torn down. Perhaps they're afflicted by a madness that makes such efforts just a waste of time. Still, one should always try.
