Archer Drake

Archer Drake
Archer Drake is a 18 year old male, born to an unnamed mother and father. Raised in an adopted home in Vacuo throughout his youth, Archer learned a variety of skills that would become of use to him in his future, such as deceit, charm, and intimidation. Being slightly shorter and of slight frame, however, Archer was unable to intimidate anyone physically, so he developed the former two skills more thoroughly, learning to lie, cheat and steal. Ever since it was clear to him he was different than his sister, Artemis Drake, he felt insecure due to his uncertainty in his own identity, not knowing what his own impulses mean as opposed to his adopted parents, Minerva and Hermes Drake's teachings. Eventually, however, after moving to Atlas and therapy, he learned to pretend to be what everyone wanted him to be, hoping that one day, he'll no longer need to just pretend to be a Drake. Due to his father's military career as a general, Archer and Artemis saw many officials as they grew up, and at age 16, progressed together through Atlas military training camp. However, when Private Archer, Sergeant Artemis, and General Hermes Drake all crossed paths one last time at Malta Outpost, outside of Atlas, a massive Grimm attack claimed the lives of two-thirds of the inhabitants, sparing Archer, but killing Hermes and leaving Artemis gone, without a trace. He immediately signed up for Beacon, being to familiar with Atlas to stay there any longer, not bearing to remember his terminally ill mother, dead father, or missing sister. From there, he was put into a team dubbed ACZ, a rare 3-member team due to the sudden death of a rising student.
