Type of childhood:
Archie had a relatively lonely childhood. He had no cousins near his age, and no siblings, and so spent the majority of his time with his mother, whom was his main carer. If not with his mother, he was over his grandparents house, which was one of the few opportunities he had to make candles, which his grandmother did to pass the time and make a little extra money, something Archie continued throughout his life. Without other children to regularly play with, his childhood before school was rather lonely, and filled with adult company, making him a quiet, very analytical and reasonable boy who sort of had a little competition with adults, trying to outsmart them (and on occasion succeeding). It was a lonely childhood, but he enjoyed it enough.
Pets:
Archie has one fish, Maxwell, a purple fighting fish.
First memory:
Archie's first memory that he can recall was when he was a young boy, less than five. He was at home with his parents, and it was very late at night. He needed to go to the bathroom, so he got himself up, and went. However, it was rather cold, and he was very tired, and the next thing he knew, he was being carried back to bed by his father, who was laughing to himself.
Childhood hero:
Archie's childhood hero was Hermione Granger.
Dream job:
Archie, when a child, wanted to be a dragonologist. He dropped this dream rather quickly, however, when he saw a dragon for the first time at thirteen. Then he decided a much simpler idea - business.
Education:
Archie attended Hogwarts Scotland, and was sorted into the house of Ravenclaw. Through his father, he had expectations of the school, and his father had hoped for Gryffindor (as that had been his house) but had doubted that would be the house for Archie. It took his father having to wrestle him onto the train to get Archie to go to the school, and he had on several occasions tried various methods of escape before reaching the castle itself. Being sorted into Ravenclaw made him feel nothing special, as he did not want to be at the school in the first place. However, in his third year he began to fall in love with the school beside himself, and came to greatly enjoy his time at the school. He made good friends, and often spent his free time in the Ravenclaw Common Room making candles with his friends; finding it a find group activity to do should they ever be bored that quickly turned into a budding little business that was rather profitable. He achieved reasonable grades, and stayed out of trouble. He became a prefect, and graduated with good friends, grades, and memories.
Current location:
United Kingodom, in a reasonably sized one bedroom apartment.
Currently living with:
Archie currently lives in a little place by himself, and his pet fish.
Occupation:
Archie is a hotel manager for Atlantis City, and loves his job. He talks frequently with his co-workers and has a good relationship with all of them. He tends to arrive early and stay late, and works closely with the owner, Callum Copperworth, whom he will only ever refer to as Mr. Copperworth, regardless of the circumstance.
Drives and motivations:
One of Archie's main drives is knowledge, and learning everything there is to know about his subject areas. He also greatly enjoys succeeding, and this will often push him onward. He enjoys a good challenge, but for the reasoning of learning something new.
Immediate goals:
To continue working.
Long term goals:
To live a comfortable, happy life.
How Archie plans to accomplish these goals:
Well, first off he's working. Fortunately for him, his goals are very achievable. He is not one to set his entire life out perfectly, step by step, but he does realise mile stones that must be reached. He is happy to work his entire life, and so remains doing so. He's acceptably happy so far, so he sees no reason to change.
<B>Good personality traits:
Archie is very honest, but not bluntly so. He is also rather reasonable, and logical, and willing to listen to all sides of a story before coming to a conclusion. He has a strong sense of justice, and wants to have people feeling inspired to be better, as opposed to stomping on them. He's a believer and a glass-half-full kind of guy. He is very loyal and has a strong morale code that he would never break, and would always encourage others to avoid behaviour he feels is unbecoming of them through positive reinforcement.
Bad personality traits:
Archie can become overwhelmed, and is often too stubborn to go asking for help. He can also be rather shy and awkward upon first meeting, and so can find relationship building to be difficult. His shyness can make him appear aloof and disinterested.
Most common mood:
Shy
Sense of humour:
Archie has a witty sense of humour. He would much rather something like stand-up comedy as opposed to pranks, and enjoys verbal sparring and silly little games.
Enraged when:
Archie hates being lied to.
Archie's soft spot:
-
Greatest strength:
Archie feels that his greatest strength is public relations. He is very good at talking with people, and getting them to listen to him. He also gains great pleasure in working hard, and so is not an employee whom slacks off.
Greatest weakness:
One of Archie's greatest weaknesses is the fact that when he is shy, he almost becomes an entirely different person. This often happens around people he is attracted to, and he often finds himself outright avoiding them, as opposed to trying to overcome his awkwardness.
Biggest regret:
Archie's biggest regret so far was not apologising to his grandfather for being a typical child before his death.
Biggest accomplishment:
Archie does not feel as if he has had any particularly big accomplishments just yet.
Archie's darkest secret:
Archie tries his best to be always honest, and so does not have any 'dark secrets', however, a secret he does have is that he likes his boss.
Does anyone else know?
Nearly the entire staff. They have a betting ring going.
