Description

Image

Image

Archer draws the attention to himself. His looks may not be much on average. Sure, he'd consider himself to be pretty good-looking, but most people wouldn't really look twice at a typical guy with messy black hair. If anyone asked, he'd consider his eyes the most impressive thing about himself, being a bright, glowing gold, but he wouldn't know what else to say after that. He's not the tallest boy around, and definitely far from the strongest. He's physically fit from all the time spent exercising and skateboarding, but he's not buff. Not even close. He hardly has any muscles at all. He's a healthy weight for his height, although he's a little shorter than he'd like to be, standing at 5'7". He thinks that's too short for a guy his age. There's nothing else really notable about him aside from the type of clothes he wears. Archer prefers bright colors or things that would bring the attention to him. His favorite accessory that he rarely goes a day without is the pair of yellow goggles. He rarely ever wears them over his eyes, but he likes to have them on his head or around his neck.

PersonalityImage
Archer is constantly full of energy. He's always got something to do. It's hard to ever get the poor guy to sit still for any longer than a couple of minutes. Even in the middle of class, he'll find some excuse to get up and walk around, even if it's just going over to the pencil sharpener for a few seconds. When he does have to sit still for long periods of times, he always fidgets in his seat or makes unnecessary, usually annoying, noises like clucking his tongue or tapping his pencil on the desk. He might mess with the person sitting in front of him by pulling at the tag of their shirt or messing with their hair, even if they're a complete stranger. For the most part, he does these things without being fully aware of it until someone points it out to him. If they say he's being obnoxious and tell him to stop, he'll gladly stop, but he'll probably start doing it again just a few minutes later without meaning to. The reason for all this pent-up energy is his ADHD. He's been professionally diagnosed and, quite frankly, it can get pretty annoying to most people who can't handle the hyper.

At the very least, he's not a bad person. Aside from being loud, obnoxious, and a little overwhelming, Archer is a pretty positive guy. He loves making friends and isn't shy about going up to people and talking to them as if he's known them for years. He's the type of guy you know you can trust with your secrets. He'd never go around blabbing personal details to other people and he loves listening to people. He may not be the best at giving advice, but at least he's positive and at least he'll listen. The one thing that people have pointed out in the past is his denseness. Because of how he is, he tends to be in his own hyperactive world most of the time so most things fly right over his head. He gets obvious stuff, but he's definitely not the brightest bulb in the box so if you try talking smarts with him he'll probably not get a word of what you're saying.

Archer has many ways of dealing with his ADHD instead of pills. He enjoys playing video games (loudly), skateboarding, and exercising. When it comes to exercising, he doesn't really care for going to the gym or doing anything big like that, but he's really into running and when he gets really excited about something and doesn't know how to contain his excitement, he'll probably squeal and do random jumping jacks before hugging the person closest to him--yeah, even if that someone is a random old lady. Most of the time when he's not physically trying to be calm and collected, Archer is a mix between over-enthusiastic and completely spazzy. Sometimes, he'll have so much to say at once that it'll all try coming out at one time and get scrambled together into an incoherent mess. This is especially true when he gets his hands on an energy drink. He loves them, even though they're quite possibly the worst thing anyone could ever let him have. No worries! He doesn't get them very often; but when he does, he's a total spazz. It's like watching Sonic run into the Flash.

Phobia
=Public humiliation. He's absolutely terrified of the idea of being embarrassed in front of a crowd of people; or maybe it doesn't even have to be a crowd, it can just be one or two people and he'll still be scarred for life. It doesn't even have to be anything big or noteworthy. It can be something as simple as slipping off his skateboard and onto his face. It can be something that everyone who saw probably forgot about an hour later, but he'll remember it every night for the next twenty years of his life for sure.

=Acrophobia. Fear of heights. He's okay if he can't see down for the most part unless he's fully aware of how high up he is. In that case, he'll either need something to distract him or he'll demand to be let down immediately.


History
Archer was born into a mostly normal family. He doesn't remember his parents very well, though, honestly. They died when he and his sister, Gina, two years younger than him, were really little. He'd just started school and was barely aware of how things were going at the time. All he knew at the time was that one moment he was expecting to return home to these people he called mom and dad, and the next moment he and his sister were being taken away from one person to the next. He later learned that his parents died in a freak car accident and that the police planned on taking him and Gina to an orphanage, but their grandparents took them in and adopted them instead. They weren't very old at the time anyway and they're still, to this day, pretty active people.

Archer and Gina grew up with their grandparents, well aware that these people weren't their actual parents, in a middle-class home. Originally, their grandmother had to convince their grandfather to even adopt them. Their grandfather doesn't care enough about either of them to bother paying attention to them throughout the years. Whenever they wanted advice or a new toy or anything like that, they always had to ask their grandmother. She's a nice woman for the most part. She's really into herself, though, so it can be a little annoying sometimes. Gina and Archer have stuck by each other throughout the years. They're very close for siblings. However, they decided on two different schools. She was smart enough to get into a nice nearby private school and Archer found his curiosity leading him to this one.


Soulmate
TBA

Other
Archer has pills (Ritalin) for his disorder that his grandparents urge him to take, but he hates them. They make him feel awful and he goes around like a zoned out zombie. They don't force him to take them usually, but sometimes when he gets really bad they'll tell him if he doesn't take them that they'll ground him.

Archer Jensen

1.) Tell us, how old are you? What sex are you? When were you born?
I'm sixteen, but I'll be turning seventeen soon. My birthday is only three months away! I can't wait. I always get the most awesome stuff ever, you totally wouldn't be-lieve it! It's kinda weird to ask for my gender like that, but then again I'm the one talking to a piece of paper. Is that weird? Is it weird to ask a paper if that's weird? Wait, I'm rambling. My hand's gonna start hurting, jeeze. Uncool. Oh, right. I'm a dude! I was born in late December, right around Christmas. That's pretty sweet, right?

2.) Tell us, what do you Like?
Oh, man, what don't I like! This is the most general question out there. Okay, okay, I'll list them for you. I like exercising--running is the most awesome thing around, you should really try it some time, I can run all day every day--and I like skateboarding, even though I'm totally not that great at it. I like energy drinks and candy--ohhh, man, I love that stuff! Lovelovelove! But I can't have it very often unless I sneak it. Somehow, my grandparents always find out. I don't know how they do it. I like video games, good music, epic drawings, being outside and doing stuff, and a whole bunch of other things I can't even list. How am I supposed to remember everything I like? I mean, I like my sister and butterflies, and those neat little fairytale stories too. There's too much to list I'm gonna die!

3.) What kind of person are you interested in?
That's...very general, actually. I mean, how would I know what kinda person I liked without meeting them first? I could say I like blonds and find a totally rad redhead and be perfectly a-okay with that. But I guess if I had to answer, I'll follow along for you, n'kay, n'kay. I think lots of people are radical, but I guess I'd be totally into someone who was totally into what I was totally into. Get it? Someone who gets me and someone I can share my interests with. They don't have to be someone who can match my energy, but someone who can at least tolerate me most of the time. I don't care if they have an attitude! Someone with spunk! Someone who's not afraid to be who they really are! Yaknow? That's too cool.

4.) What does 'Love' mean to you?
Oh, wow, man, that's a lot to think about. Love can mean lots of things, I think. It's hard to pick just one thing, too. I think love can be about the obvious things, like making out and and holding hands and telling each other you love each other every five seconds and just being totally mushygushy. That kinda stuff. I'm totally cool with that, but more than that I think, maybe, love is probably...uh, it's kinda hard to concentrate on this question. It's deep, dude. I mean, I don't think love is just that obvious stuff, but the stuff that that obvious stuff does to you, y'know what I'm talking about? Ugh, it's hard to say. Like, when you hold hands with the chick or dude you're really into, your palms get sweaty and you're both okay with that because you'd rather keep holding hands than worry about being gross. And when you get to kiss the person you love your heart gets all whacked out and spazzy and your knees get weak and everything feels really weird but really awesome at the same time.

Hahaha! Do you see what I'm saying? I think love is more than holding hands and being cute. I think it's love when you can be totally real with someone without worrying about the consequences; and not, like, when you're best bros with someone and you can share your deepest darkest secrets with them, but when--ugh! When you get that
feeling! The weird gushy feeling that makes you wanna throw up and makes you wanna be around them all the time! Love isn't just holding hands and kissing, it's what makes you want to hold their hand and want to kiss them and be all loveydovey with them and stuff. I think it's totally cool when you can make fun of each other without getting hurt feelings or taking things seriously. ...Did any of that make sense?


5.) What is your love personality?
I don't...think that I'm the really romantic type, per se. I mean, yeah, sure I'll remember birthdays and anniversaries and that sorta thing, but I'm not really great at thoughtful gifts. I know flowers and cards and stuffed animals are usually things people like, but I don't know dude! Waitwait, I think I'm getting off-topic. I'm more of the type of person who'd like to be in a friendly type of relationship, where I'll probably treat my boyfriend and girlfriend like a best friend. I still like doing all the other couple-y stuff, but I'm not into really mushygushy stuff. Not totally.

6.) Is your glass Half Full, or Half Empty?
My glass is fully full, rightfully filled all the way up to the tippity top. My glass is so full that it's spilling over the edge of the cup of coolness. I've got some cleaning up to do! Wait, no, yes, no, yes. Yes. That totally made sense. Hah! I had to think about it for a second. Yes, fully full.

7.) Tell me, what kind of Soulmate may upset you if you got?
This sounds like a really mean question! Cause like I said before how should I know who I'd like or not?? Well, I don't really like answering this question honestly, but I'll answer it anyway since I guess I have to. I think I'd be pretty upset if I got paired with someone who can't, y'know, handle me. I wouldn't mind whether or not they could or couldn't match my pace just as long as they didn't hate me for being, well, annoying. Although if it was someone who did absolutely nothing all the time, that might not be so rad, either, or someone who's really mean to other people.

8.) How sexually active are you?
*spits drink* EXCUSE ME?! I'm not. I have never. I mean. It's been considered in some passing thoughts and all that jazz, and I may be one radical dude, but that's, that's not, you know--can you even ask a kid that on this thing?? Is this a trick question? I'm not so good at those! Will I be tested on this!? Because no, oh, no, no, I have not, never, and am not a very good person to ask. H-haha.. Can I see the next question please? skjdhfsdk

9.) What are places you like, or scenery?
I love the outdoors. I don't care if it's pitch dark outside or sunny or rainy--it's much better than being cooped up all day like some sort of boring bum! I don't have any real preferences or anything, but I like hanging out around the beach or the park. I like forests too. I think it's totally cool to go exploring in them. Getting lost is half the awesome.

10.) What did you want to be when you were little? What do you want to be now? Why?
When I was little..? Well, I always thought it would be really cool to be like one of those totally radical people on tv. You know? Like a movie star? I'm so jealous of them! Sometimes I'd pretend I was famous by setting up my grandparents' video camera and putting on these silly little home movies of myself acting out all the parts. I was the chick in distress and the dude who got to save her and I remember one time I even pretended to make out with myself because I saw that happen on some of the movies I watched. I thought it would be the coolest thing ever to walk out on stage to a whole bunch of people calling my name and asking for my autograph and being a rolemodel for little kids and--well, it was a little extreme. I just wasn't born with it.

Right now, though, I'm not totally sure what I want to be, y'know? It's hard choosing something and I'm not really great at anything specific. I'm kinda okay at skateboarding and I'm average at running. My grades aren't terrible, but they're not rockstar level and I'm not smart enough to be anything totally great like a doctor or a scientist or something. I still have a couple years left before college, so I think I have enough time to think about it a little more. No pressure, right?


11.) What are your favorite bands? Favorite songs? Any Genres?
I don't have any favorite bands, but I love all sorts of music. My favorite stuff is rock or a little bit of techno, but I don't care either way as long as it's stuff I can go jogging to or skateboarding to. I usually don't care for the slow stuff, but I mean, look at me! I'm too far in the fast lane for that!

12.) How do you spend free time?
I do lots of things to waste time. My grandparents don't like me spending too much time around the house when I'm not on the Ritalin junk, so I'm usually out doing stuff. I like walking around or exercising. Well, I call it exercising, but all I really ever do is go running and stuff. Sometimes I like to go exploring on trails if I can find any in the area, but those get boring after the hundredth time or so. When I stop getting lost, I usually stop going. I love skateboarding, too! I'm not the greatest, but I can do really basic stuff like riding it around. I wouldn't try a half pipe or anything extreme like that. I'd probably die! That would be awful. Ohoh! I like drawing too. ...But I suck. Haha, I can admit it! It's okay. I love drawing but I don't think I could draw a stick figure straight if I tried. It's just one of the few things that can entertain me when I'm trying to not be a spazz like usual. It kind works pretty well most of the time, even if I just end up throwing them away when I'm done. When I am stuck at home, I'm usually playing video games. Honestly, though, as much as I love them, most of the time I only play them when I'm on Ritalin. That stuff puts me on super psycho focus mode. I totally rock at video games then.

13.) Do you read? What is your favorite book?
Who's got time for that boresville?!

14.) Who was the last person you dated?
Ouch. Well, you see, about that--I wouldn't really consider it a date or dating or anything. It lasted two weeks. I mean, I thought everything was cool and all, but the dude was really smart and stuff. I guess he thought I was smarter and then I guess he found out that I'm really not and the more we hung out and stuff he just kept getting mad at me and I guess I was just being me, like usual, and being annoying, like usual, and, so, yeah, two weeks later we weren't together anymore. He was too smart and too good. That's fine though! I'm kinda used to that sort of thing. If I let that stuff get me down I'd never get another date. It's not like I can help that I'm the way I am. I don't mean to be like this.

15.) How would you describe yourself?
Weeeelll, not to brag or anything, but I'd have to say that I'm one totally rad dude if there ever was one. I mean, I don't think I'm a totally mean guy, so I guess I'm pretty nice and I can do some kinda cool stuff. Mostly I think I'm just a big, annoying spazz, especially when I'm rambling about annoying stuff or being too excited about little things that nobody else seems to care as much about, but that's just me and that's okay. Right? It's kind of weird to talk about myself like this. I kinda feel like a mix between self-centered and full of bad self-esteem. It's the truth though! I'm too annoying sometimes! I can understand that. But I like getting excited over stuff, too, because that means I'm just being enthusiastic! Everyone is pretty awesome and that's totally awesome!

16.) Where would your dream date take place? Why?
I have no idea. I'd be alright with a date going on right around here as long as I was with someone I was really into and if it went well, but I think a date at a theme park would be pretty rad. That way we could both have fun all day, stuff our faces, and then get home totally worn out. And, well, rides are a good way to distract someone from how annoying I can probably be a lot of the time, so there's that. Hah, that's a good plus, right? So yeah. A fair would be fine, too.

17.) What is your Spirit animal?
I got wolf. Radical! It says I'm a family and friend type of person. "Loyal, devoted, and passionate." I can totally agree! Besides, how awesome is it that I got the raddest mammal on mother Earth as my spirit animal?! That's the coolest thing to happen to me today!

18.) Is there anyone you've got your eye on? *wink* Why?
I haven't, uh, really been here long enough to... I mean, yeah, haha, I might of seen one or two but I don't think I should base all this on looks and stuff, right? Even if they do look like they'd be totally awesome people.

19.) Can you tell us a secret you never told anyone?
That's really personal! Do I even have any secrets? I don't think I even have any secrets! I'm a totally open book! There's definitely nothing that I'm hiding! ...Okay, maybe there's a thing or two. I only have to tell you one, though, so let me think.. I guess, as long as nobody else has to know.. A couple times I gave my Ritalin to my little sister just so our grandparents would think that I took it because I felt like if I just threw them out they would notice. I feel really awful about it. I hate them and I let her have them! I'm a really terrible person. I haven't let her do that in a long time, though! I don't think I ever would again.

20.) What are the lyrics to the song that describes you best?Image
And all the JuV halls and the Ritalin rats
Ask angels made from neon
And fucking garbage scream out "What will save us?"
And the sky opened up


21.) What color resembled 'Passion', to you? Why?
Oh, I've totally got this one, dude! Sit back and relax. My spirit animal was a wolf. That entire thing told me all about my passionate nature, oh yeah. Okay, okay! So I think passion is, like...pink... Yeah. Definitely getting a pink vibe from passion. Why? I dunno. Because red's like romance and bedroom stuff and pink is like a mellow red, right? So. Yeah. Definitely pink.

22.) What gets you hot? Why?
Kksfhsdkfhd. WHAT. Dude! Dudedudedudedudedude. Dude. Haha. Excuse me? How is this... H-how can you... Wh-what a, a weird question! I don't know the answer to that! Isn't that a little, you know, personal? Aw, jeeze, um, man, uh. Haha, wow, please don't show this to anyone. I mean, I guess if you did I'd probably never even know, so I'm just gonna trust you on this one since I have to fill all this out anyway, but man, dude, bro, jeeze, I--cough. Right. Right. Um. I guess it's totally hot when someone's got an awesome talent? Or is that dumb? Is that even what you're asking about? Ugh. Uhm, so that and when someone totally speaks out for themselves. Like--wow, this is embarrassing--like when they get really hotheaded? And really passionate about something? Okay! Hah, um, I think, think we're done here. Please.

23.) If I walked into your bedroom right now, what may I see?
A whole lot of mess and not much floor. My room is a pigsty, but it's fine with me as long as I know where the stuff I want is. My clothes are scattered all across the floor, bro, it's ridiculous. They're mostly clean. I think. I've got a little area cleared up in the corner by the tv for my video games though. At least there's enough room for sitting. Since we own the place, I got to paint my room whatever I wanted, so I basically just made each wall a different color and splattered paint all over it. It's the raddest thing around!

24.) You like TV, huh? What is your favorite Movie? How about Anime? Why?
Oh, wow, you sure you're ready for this conversation? Look at me asking a paper questions. I'm just supposed to be writing my answers and I act like I'm having a whole conversation. Weird, right? Oh, I'm doing it again. My hand is killing me. Okayokay, so my favorite movies right now are the Back to the Future movies. I know they're kinda old and there's been tons of time travel movies, but they're, like, the start of parodies! It's too cool. I'm not really into anime all that much, honestly. I guess Kingdom Hearts? Can I count that? I like the video game and the graphics are pretty anime. I mean, I guess so anyway.

25.) How would you Impress someone you like?
I think if I wanted to impress someone I might go a little out of my way. Okay, see, I have this thing where, when I'm trying to impress someone, I go a little overboard and...well, I end up looking like a total uncool loser! I usually try showing off when I don't have anything to show off, so if I try telling them I can do a flip on my board, I end up falling flat on my face and ksjfhdskfohmygod, it's so bad. I am so bad at impressing people.

So begins...
