Archie also wears a distinctive gold brace covering his right shin and part of the foot, as he has a wonky heel (though what is wrong with it exactly hasn’t been mentioned yet.)

It looks something like this:


He now also has a scar on one of his thighs after having a piece of shrapnel cut into his leg.

Xx.. Attitude ..xX “Wheee! Watch me do three things at once! Not impressed? How about watching me do four, or five, or even six or seven things, all at the same time! What do you mean, I can’t have done them very well?! I did all of them well – I am good at most things and that’s a skill I not only can’t help, I refuse to be ashamed of it!”

Okay, here is someone who really can do more in one minute than others can do in ten.

He is the sort of person who can bring an enormous amount of light and shade, ins and outs, and a whole lot of ups and downs into peoples lives. Some people just like to keep things interesting – like Archie. When warriors are born, do other, less amazing people automatically know? When someone who has determination and tenacity and true fire in the belly comes along, do they have to hold up a little sign warning everyone? Should super-heroes out themselves?

Well, no – and so with Archie, what we see sure ain’t necessarily what we get here, at all. We have someone who can walk through fire, well, not literally - but who can really, really show what they’re made of, repeatedly, and get up again and do the tough stuff day after day.

It’s not that he’s not serious about what he does – No, it’s just that once he’s gone and done something, he wont usually do it again. He doesn’t really see the attraction in repetition. Once he’s done something, and cracked the code of a person or game or situation, he’s not really all that keen to do it again. He love’s the challenge, but only once.

He loves to get attention and has already changed his life several times, mainly because while he might say it’s because he doesn’t want to be bored, it’s also because he doesn’t always have things work out for him.

He has a very curious mind. and have many interests, but while he might sometimes spread himself too thin at times, he will always recognize what is most important in his life - in Archie’s case, this is his friends and his sister.

He is rarely simply average at things he dedicates himself to, as well as his deep loyalty.
His surface confidence and self belief are both often facades, but it doesn’t always take much for Archie to go from boasting mood to being nothing more than a mess of self-doubt. He tends to be brash, macho, somewhat insensitive, and has a slight tendency to show off, but also tends to keep to himself and is rather cynical.

Even though Archie has undergone some serious changes in his life, it is obvious from the beginning that he has still has some serious flaws. His lack of control in some areas have put him in difficult situations, and his alternating ego and complete lack of confidence seriously impacts his decision making at times. It’s because of these faults and the fact that he has never proven himself on any formal stage.

Xx.. History ..xX Although quite truthful, Archie is often very secretive about his life before Seraph Island.
What is known though is that he grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in Brooklyn, with his little sister Clementine and that his parents divorced when he was twelve. He lived with his father in Brooklyn, while his mother eventually lost contact with the both of them.

During his primary school years he was known as a bit of a bully and involved in some rather bad stuff, often using his poorly developed teleporting skills to scare girls. It was after summer break after his seventh year at school that he stopped - But the reason why, is unclear. He soon developed an interest in “popping”. Popping is a form or street and funk dance and street dance style based on the technique of quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to cause a jerk in the dancer’s body, referred to as a pop or a hit. This is done continuously to the rhythm of a song in combination with various movements and poses. A popping dancer is commonly referred to as a popper.

While it’s not known exactly why Archie stopped bullying ever since, he has become a much more watered down version of his former bullying self, and incredibly protective of those who are weak and unable to protect themselves.

Archie has still retained some of his self destructive behaviour, and gets into violent situations which is most likely linked to his family life, which has some fairly heavy hints of abuse laced into it.
