࿐ ˚ . ✦ JACOB ELORDI, MALE, HE/HIM  — wait, is that BLAKE ARCHER walking the halls? the EIGHTEEN year old SENIOR is normally seen hanging with the ATHLETES, which makes sense because they’re so -STOIC & -INTIMIDATING, but surprisingly +INTUITIVE & +OPEN-MINDED. maybe that’s why they were voted MOST LIKELY TO KILL WITH A SINGLE GLARE. ( ollie, 21, they/them, est )

BASICS

Full name: Blake Apollo Archer Birth date: february 21st Languages: English ( first language, fluent ), Quebois French ( second language, fluent ) Hometown: Sanlow, IL ; born in Saguenay, QC

PHYSICAL

Age: 18 Weight: 205 lbs Height: 6′4″ Body build: athletic, lean Eye color: brown Glasses or contacts: both ( typically wears only contacts ) Tattoos & Scars:

PERSONALITY

+ intuitive, open-minded, perceptive, observant - stoic, intimidating, 

          on your typical ‘ cinnamon roll ‘ spectrum, blake is definitely in the “ looks like he could kill you but is actually a cinnamon roll deep down ” section. he cuts a hulking figure in the hallways, and he perfected the death glare about ten years ago --- but he never perfected exactly how to turn it off. he’s not one to really wear his emotions on his sleeve, which only adds to the whole intimidation factor. it’s not that he means to be so, it’s just he’s never bothered to try otherwise and doesn’t care if people are scared of him.

          however, if you are lucky enough to get to know him, you’d be surprised to find blake isn’t nearly as scary as he seems. he’s surprisingly intuitive, always knowing exactly what to say when someone’s feeling lost or down, and widely observant to what goes on around him. he cares in his own way for his friends --- and wouldn’t hesitate to protect them. he’s gentle with the ones he cares about, and with animals in particular.

PRESENT

Current location: Sanlow, IL Pets: a rescue greyhound named ghost ( dappled grey ) Occupation: student, assistant at a local veterinary shelter & clinic  Finances: 

THE STORY

-- blake apollo archer was born in saguenay, quebec on a sub-freezing february day. the family moved from quebec to sanlow when he was eight. thus, he grew up bilingual in english and quebois-french. when he was little he had an accent but he’s virtually accentless in both languages now.

-- he had an uneventful childhood. the archers never really struggled financially, and though blake wasn’t exactly spoiled, he didn’t have to want for much.

-- it was clear early on that blake had athletic talent, constantly bouncing off the walls as a child to the point that his parents initially shoved him into sports to tire him out. but from there a love grew. any sport blake wanted to play, his parents let him and so he did it all throughout elementary : soccer, swim, hockey, basketball, lacrosse, baseball... by high school, he picked out his favorites.

-- three season athlete : swim ( fall ), hockey ( with a travel team in the winter ) , lacrosse ( spring ). he spends his summers running and all around being active.

-- his love for animals came from his mother, very much a proponent of the “ all creatures great and small ” thing. that love grew into a passion for him, and he now plans on pursuing a path to become a veterinarian himself.

-- blake is smart, at least with his schoolwork, even if he doesn’t advertise it much. 4.0 gpa ( or 5.0, whatever ) but what seems like only two braincells to go along with it.

-- after much debate and though, blake has accepted his admission to university of illinois at urbana-champaign on an athletic scholarship --- also one of the best pre-vet schools in the united states.

MISC

-- he works at the local vet clinic & shelter when it can ; mostly in the summer when he’s more free and doesn’t have practices and games to get to. but he tries to make as much time as he can in-season.

-- blake adopted a rescue greyhound that was brought into the shelter as a reject about a year ago. he absolutely fell in love with her, practically nursing her back to health himself. she is extremely loyal to him and she might be the thing he cares about most.

-- blake wasn’t always a goalie : he played forward in both hockey and lacrosse for a year before going back to the net. he maintains that both short experiences on the offense made him a better goalie. in net, he gets this look in his eye that some have likened to a murder glare. he’s not even aware he’s doing it, but he’s seen some pictures that have been taken and begrudgingly admits it does look pretty freaky.

-- he switched to swim in the fall from soccer when he entered as a freshman because he thought it’d be better cross-training for his other sports. he’s actually come to enjoy it quite a bit and he’s pretty good at it ( though, some may argue he’s good at any sport he puts his mind to ). his specialty is the fly and im.

-- yes, his middle name is that of a god’s. yes, he probably looks like one too.

-- #GoaliesAreWeird no matter what sport you’re looking at
