In Depth Appearance:Archer is a gangly 6’4”, with very dirty blonde hair with blue eyes. He likes to keep his hair short since it makes it easier to style and he has a bad habit of forgetting to shave for days at a time which usually leads to a decent amount of stubble on his face. He is always a constant 150 pounds which is probably due to his constant amount of running.
He always has at least one suit available at all times due to the likelihood that he will get called into work at any time to work on an important press release. His favorite one though is a gray suit he got from his grandfather before he passed away. Anytime he has a chance to get out of a suit he takes that opportunity. His favorite is any t-shirt he can possibly find with gym shorts. They grant him a freedom that suits never could.
Habbits/Oddities/Quirks:Archer runs like no tomorrow. His job creates a lot of stress for him and he finds it is the best way for him to release the stress. The other way he is able to release his stress is by smoking. His intake fluctuates between a couple cigarettes a day on a stress free day to a whole pack over the course of a work day.
Archer flips his pen whenever he thinks or is sitting still for too long. His skills in this ability would be Olympic level if there was such an event. He has a major Jekyll and Hyde complex. Anything that involves his work causes Archer to have a completely anal personality. He takes his personal life a lot less seriously and it usually causes him to forget important things, such as eating, cleaning, and even his own birthday.
Hobbies- Running
- Watching the news
- Traveling
- Eating
Secrets:He used to be totally addicted to opiates back when he was in college and he was only able to wean himself off one addiction by replacing it with another. He smokes because he fears if he stops it will lead him back down that dark road.

Personality:Positive Traits:
Whenever he is tasked with a job to get done he tackles it head on, but not without a thinking of a plan that is the most efficient or effective. His industriousness is what caused him to move up quickly through the ranks and it has won him praise throughout the United Nations. Even with these high praises, he stays humble due to the fact he knew how low he could get. He does not allow praise to get to his head. His humbleness allows him to see situations more clear since his actions will not be determined by how others will praise or see him.
Negative Traits:
A positive can also be a negative, his ability to focus on a certain job will lead to blinders that block out other parts of his life. This tunnel vision will usually lead to Archer forgetting important things about his personal life. This makes having a stable relationship difficult, since he will accidently forget dates or get called into work at odd times. Another flaw in Archer’s ability to have a stable relationship is the fact that he can be lustful. He doesn’t mean to fall into the same trap over and over again, but he finds that he can’t say no. His sister always tells him that the right girl will settle him down, but he doesn’t know if that’s true.
Place of Origin:Missoula, Montana
History:Archer was born to a family of ranchers based in Missoula. This made his family one of the most prominent in the city. He has an older brother, Castor, and an older sister, Irene. That meant his older brother was most likely to inherit Longfellow Ranch, and his older brother was always more inclined towards that kind of life. They are now the same height, but his brother has a solid 80 pounds on Archer. Archer needed to find out what he wanted to do with his life and he found it during high school.
Archer ended up being a natural in Model United Nations and he fell in love with the whole process over the course of his high school years. He figured since being an actual representative was harder to obtain, he would focus on actually work for the United Nations. He was also the editor of his schools newspaper, so he decided to combine his two loves by setting his aim on the Public Information Office within the United Nation Public Information Office. He worked hard and even graduated a year early to make his dreams come true.
He went to Northwestern University to study Journalism. What his college friends didn’t know during these years was his massive addiction to opiates that he got through a friend. His life was mostly a blur whenever he wasn’t in class, but he was still able to focus on his classwork it needed to be done. He was naturally gifted, so he always felt that no matter what he would get everything done. Unfortunately he did throughout his college career, but when he went home for the summer between his junior and senior year he got high on codeine instead of looking after the horses which caused them to escape. A storm struck, many of the horses died and it almost caused his family to lose their ranch. He realized he needed help, so he went to his family and they were there to support him.
He was able to graduate Magna Cum Laude and he moved on to a Masters in Communications at Northwestern University. He also minored in Mandarin and Arabic, on top of the Spanish he took in high school to try and boost his chances of getting hired. This caused Archer to be in large amounts of debt, so he has been forced to live a frugal life.
He started out as a Principal Public Information Officer, so he was forced to work in the field all around the world. He has been to every continent (except Antarctica) and has been forced to sleep on the ground in tents in order to report to his higher ups. This caused him to get use to traveling with the press corps and rooming with people around his age.
He was finally promoted to an officer position at an office and he was lucky enough to be moved to the actual Headquarters. When he heard about Time Square Apartments he realized that it would be the perfect place to live. Especially since it was cheap so he could save up to pay off his student debts and also to pay for his travels around the world. It would also give him an opportunity to meet new people and experience city living that he hasn’t experienced since his college years.
Misc.:He is fluent in English, Spanish, Arabic, and Mandarin.
He has always had the dream of moving to New York City, and he thinks this will be the most amazing experience ever.
