Appearance: 5'10", 11st, Slim, but at the same time toned and well built. Very athletic body, kept in perfect shape. Light red-brown hair which he wears short, but always in an interesting style and blue/grey eyes. Good looking in a cheeky rogue sort of way. Always ready with a smile or a wink.

Personality: Archie has never been and will never be shy. He studied at Guildhall and decided to go on to teach as well as act. He is fun-loving, outgoing and faultlessly loyal. Once he's your friend he stays your friend and would stand by you through anything. He has a problem with intimacy and is very protective of his personal space. However these barriers disappear when he is teaching or on stage. Not one to 'settle down', he would rather have a string of flings than a real relationship. He is a keen writer and is rumoured to have completed a screenplay, which he is in the process of getting taken up. Unfortunately, Archie has never quite managed to give up smoking, although he is on fewer a day than he was at College.
History: Born and raised in Edinburgh, Archie can trace his ancestry back to the Woad wearing times. Everyone in his family have been artistic right up untill his birth and he was no exception. He has a sister a year older than himself and she couldn't be more different. (Being a quiet Lyricist) His father is an Artist in his spare time, but works for the Government -for a 'steady income'- and his mother is a Music Therapist.
He believes entirely in the presence of his Muse, who, according to him is a woman of questionable repute but awesome beauty. His Mother claims that his Muse is just his childhood imaginary friend, Faith; who he will not, or can not let go of, as she offers a strange security in the uncertainty of life.
He has a horse, Anduril (named after a famous fictional sword), who he stables nearby farm. He also owns three Motorcycles, which are his passion, he likes the anonymity the open road and a full face helmet offer. Kickboxing and Swimming are his favoured ways of keeeping fit and he tries to do both at least once a day.
Roleplay Sample: Archie scraped the mud off his boots. Woefully looking up at the sky. It was a wretched day for riding, but he'd needed to get out. The tension in the school crackled around him, playing havoc with his Muse. The start of term nerves seemed determined to shatter any peace left in this place and even the grand old hotel was much too stifling at the moment for the care-free, often wild, spirit of his Muse.
At least the ride had cleared his mind a little, and Faith had enjoyed it. He hadn't been able to see Anduril as much as he'd liked recently and the horse was definitely glad to see him when he'd arrived. It was a shame that he had to be stabled so far away. But at least he was closer than if he'd been left at home.
Deciding that his boot scraping was a futile task, he just wrenched them off instead. Padding along in his socks to his quarters.
