Name: Archie Wood
Age: 23
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Position: Regular Worker
Role: The over-talkative, shy and sarcastic Brit.
Height: 6'0''
Weight: 62KG
Past: After graduating from York St.John University back home in England with a Bachelor Honour's degree in TESOL and Japanese language studies, Archie decided it was time to travel for a while. Feeling that he'd worked his arse off all of his life, he decided it was time to take a break and see a bit of the world for himself. He doesn't talk much about how he ended up living in Colorado or about his family and friends back in England. One thing is certain about his past, though... there's more to his story than he lets on.
Place of Residence:
Situated not too far away from where he recently found employment (about a 10 minute walk), Archie lives in a modest abode. His 1 bedroom studio apartment isn't the most expansive or luxurious of places but the restricted space is pleasantly nostalgic of his university days. Most of his decoration is quite rustic and zen, there are multiple statues of buddhas and ornate candle holders which play host to a variety of scented tablets. However, in contrast, the walls are also littered with posters of various anime and video games series (although he keeps most of those things confined to his bedroom out of embarrassment for when he has guests). All in all, it is quite pleasant to say he only has a low-wage job in a foreign land and for that he is grateful.
Personality: Incredibly nervous and shy, Archie often blunders into situations head-first armed with nothing but a few snarky words and awkward one-liners. His usual fall-back defence is humour and he utilizes it whenever he feels even a hint of discomfort. Many people comment on his sunny disposition towards life and he tries to take everyday as a breath of fresh air... emphasis on 'tries', there. He has a passion for language and culture as well as a lust for adventure. His spare time is often filled with him pursuing knowledge on these topics or playing video games/reading manga. He's a bit of shut-in in that sense and finds it difficult to fully connect with people, however, once he comes out of his shell he has quite a wild party spirit in him. His music taste is incredibly varied and he will listen to anything from metal to J-pop, it all depends on the song. One particular thing that he manages to nark people with, however, is his stubbornness and pride.
Quirks: Adamant fear of lifts, if he is forced to use one he will begin to shake and bob up and down as if desperate for the toilet, hates any sort of sea food with a passion, slight obsession with wearing cardigans.
Hobbies/Addictions: As previously stated, his main hobbies revolve around studying foreign languages and cultures as well as playing video games, watching anime and reading manga. He doesn't have any major addictions, however, he does have a prevalent affinity for jazz and classical music.
Dream: His original dream was to become an English teacher in Japan. However, as he progressed through university his ambitions set their sights on a new goal - becoming an advisor and translator for large businesses in the foreign relations department.
