## Personality and Skills

Extroverted, unpredictable and creative. For Archie, life is about experiences and satisfaction. He likes to go through what he wants to see. He treasures the little freedom he can get, and his fear of commitment as well as his charming personality made of him one of the most eligible bachelors in the country. Before the selection the Prince dated several beautiful ladies but he didn't maintain any long relationship with any of them.

Archie also enjoys finding meaning and beauty in everything and everyone around him. From the big buildings structures' to small facial expressions on people's faces, more so if they are beautiful women.

He enjoys passing his time sketching and drawing, skills he discovered since childhood and which became his passion later on. Though he is also good at sports like football, baseball, rowing... many of these he tried during his school days, but he dropped them eventually because of the strict discipline they require.

His noticeable people skills often comes in handy for political purposes at official royal events as well as with the press, yet Archie prefers to apply his talents in that aspect at parties his 'friends' often organize. He also enjoys travelling, frequently being away in spontaneous trips no matter how busy his schedule might be.

Despite of seeming to be vain and even superficial, on the inside --and for the ones who know them well--, Archie is a very sensitive person inside, often hidden behind a wide smile though he's quick to forgive and forget. He gets too attached to the people he really cares about, particularly his family, they manage to bring out his more sentimental traits.

Always willing to make people smile with his charismatic -sometimes childish- personality. Archie knows that many of the choices he makes in life are not what is expected of him, but he's determined to live his life according to his likings and passions, no matter who might seem disappointed.

## History

### Pre-Selection

He grew up in Angeles Palace surrounded by his perfect family, living a privileged life. Unlike his cousin, -the now, King of Illéa-, Archie’s life has been quite open to the public even before he was born. His parents met during his father’s Selection in the year 2145, and since then people followed his family’s steps closely. His birth, happening on June 13th, 2147, was much expected by the general public, being the firstborn of the fairytale royal couple.

Not to mention that from the day King Remus fall sick, the Schreave-Osteen family was the one making almost every public appearance in representation of the Royal family in national and international events. But being in the spotlight never represented a problem for Archie. His witty, unpredictable personality, as well as his natural charm, has been building up his relationship with the press and the media through the years becoming a favorite of the public.

Since they were just teens, he has been dividing his time between being the one to remind his cousin Raphael that there was more fun to life than the role he was born to assume, and helping him to keep the unwanted attention away from him. It’s noticeable that despite being so different, they are as close as brothers, having grown up together.

When Archie turned 17 years old he and his young sister Austen, suffered a car crash accident. They were driving back home after his surprise birthday party in Archie’s new Tesla. The news was all over social media and the newspapers, but fortunately, it only resulted in small injuries for the royal siblings as well as weeks of community service for the young Prince. Though, once again his charisma and personality helped the people and media forget about the matter quicker than usual.

However, Archie's role as a Royal hasn’t been so easy. Due to his lack of organization and discipline, he is not very fond of following traditional protocols, rules, and schedules, which has also brought Archie problems in the academy field. In an attempt to do what was expected of him, he applied to study for a degree in Political Science in August 2164 at Waverly, in order to become a royal advisor.

He and Raphael always dreamt to graduate together at the prestigious Waverly University, but with the King’s sickness, his cousin had to go to college in Angeles, though he encouraged Archie to stay in the WU and live the dream for “both of them”. During his time studying there, Archie applied to be part of the college rowing team, where the Prince managed to compete a couple of times performing his part in the middle crew in the shell.

That year, Archie found himself frequently escaping, either back to Angeles or traveling somewhere else, at the slightest opportunity. He wasn’t fond of Political Science and rowing was too demanding for his liking as well. Even when he was good with the oars the sport required a lot of discipline and training hours.

After all this, Archie couldn’t help feeling like a failure and a disappointment, which affected his relationship with his father, directly. The sum of everything, made the young Prince decide to drop out of college and take a gap year to do a backpacking trip around the country.

His experiences during this trip were of great help to finally find a path for himself, as well as to rediscover his love for drawing and sketching, which along with his fascination with old buildings and their structures made him find his true passion, deciding to start a career in Architecture at the University of California - Angeles (UC-A), close to his family.
