Name: Archie Rye Age: 15

District: 11

Gender: Male

Height: 5'5

Personality: Archie is a quick thinker. He loves extreme sports and acts well under pressure. He is a risk-taker, which could certainly come in handy during the Games. He is solitary and adventurous tying in with his other features. Archie struggles to register emotions, he has only cried twice in his life, and they were at horrible times in his life. Some people say that he doesn't seem emotional because he is traumatized by these events, but he is always quick to quash that theory. Archie follows a personal code of conduct, and is loyal to his friends and family. If he were to have an ally in the Games, he would never betray them. He dislikes being alone, so he probably will be scouting out for a possible alliance, but he is dutiful and reserved.

Appearance: Lunaii

Weapons: Archie has unbelievable skills when it comes to handling weapons. He grew up on a farm, so he has trained with knives, bows and arrows, nets and other miscellaneous things that may pop up somewhere in the Games. He is a dead eye shot with a knife, he never misses his target, if you're trapped in between Archie and you're destination, you better hope he doesn't have one on him. He is also a hunter. Growing upon the farm, he frequently went out with his father, Raythe to hunt birds with the bows, thus became regular and he grew fond of his bows. On top of this, he can weave a net out of absolutely anything. Vines, grass, twigs, seaweed. You name it, he'll be able to make it.

Backstory: Archie was born on a farm in District 11. He was the middle child, out of 5 kids. He had two younger brothers: Frost (9) and Ozka (12), an older brother: Ignaccio (17) and an older sister: Jacquie (19). They grew up with their mother: Helen (44) and their father: Norman (50). Norman was a skilled man, a past Hunger Games Victor, he had expirienced things he hoped no one in his family would ever have to face. Archie often went out hunting with his father. They hunted for squirrels and birds. He quickly became fond of his crossbow and mastered it. But apart from that, he never misses his target, whether it be with a bow, a knife or anything else, he is a dead-eye. Archie loves his family. He enjoys spending time with his sister and doing activities with his brothers. He never worried about being reaped because of the huge population in District 11. He was fed well, and strongly built, looked after by his parents. But at the age of 11, he lost his mother in a freak accident where she was crushed in a stampede of cattle. The loss of Helen affected Norman severely, he stopped eating, stopped drinking, and stopped sleeping until eventually, his body gave out and he passed away. His sister committed suicide, along with his older brother. Ozka went crazy and killed Frost before he had to be put down by the mayor. Distressed and depressed, Archie had nothing left to live for. He had lost his entire family and therefore volunteered for the games, in the hopes of winning enough money to continue living the most normal life someone who has gone through what he has can possibly live.

Strengths: Archie has extreme accuracy. His aim is elite. If you stuck any weapon in his hands and gave him a target he would hit it. It's unbelievable how accurate he is. He has trained excessively with weapons like bows and arrows and knives. He also has expirience in trapping, using nets and sharpened sticks or branches. His is strongly built, and has worked his muscular ability throughout his childhood. His strength is the perfect ability to have in the Games when it comes to hand-to-hand combat fighting.

Weaknesses: Archie has been to hell and back in the last few years, witnessing some things no child should ever have see or know about. He has bounced back since then, but the meager mention or any of these traumatic events sends him into a complete and utter state of rage and begins fits like you wouldn't believe. He never learnt to swim. He doesn't plan on learning, and if he's anywhere near a water body he is extremely cautious. This could cause him to become unfocused or he could even go into a state of shock and anxiety.

Fears: Aquaphobia: Fear of water. Archie is absolutely terrified of water because he cannot swim. If he is anywhere near it he could possibly become unsteady. On top of this, he is afraid of death. Since the traumatic events of his families'deaths, he has been frightened of anything along the ones of it.

Alliance: Anti-Careers

Victories: 0
