Archer "Achilles" Thornes - Origins {Clean Crackhead California}

Name: Archer "Achilles" Thornes

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Woman.

Exes: None. Young man was focused on STUDYING. Poor virgin.

Problems: People pleaser. Burns out a lot. Roachification. Can't keep a straight back for longer than five minutes. Wants to be alone often, but doesn't want to be lonely.

Background: Born in Texas, moved over with his dad to California. Mom cheated. Father built a business empire. And Archie is okay with that. More than okay. This is not some 'oh, my dad forces me to become successful boohoo'. This is 'thank you, father, for giving me such an easy path in life. I shall do my best to make you proud'. Has a younger sister named Sally.

Now: Attends a prestigious university near the Venice Beach Institute of Subculture Arts (VBISA) and becomes friends with a few people from there that make his life interesting by a lot of means. Becomes somewhat of an older brother to Mikey and Ésteban.

The school he attends is Westbridge Institute of Arts & Sciences (WIAS), where they mostly focus on a prestigious but progressive university, known for its rigorous academics and deep intellectual focus. Unlike PCA’s corporate-minded environment, WIAS is a haven for thinkers, researchers, and boundary-pushing artists. The student body is a mix of philosophers, filmmakers, authors, and experimental scientists. Less about rebellion (like VBISA) and more about deep intellectual and artistic mastery. Not just an art school— it has serious programs in philosophy, literature, film, and innovative sciences.

There is also a dancing house for both universities. A tolerant mix. A symmetrical house, divided evenly among both schools. the side facing north is for ballroom dancing. The side facing south is more of a blend for experimenting new dancing types. The house's name is The Meridian House. The name "Meridian" represents a meeting point between two extremes—tradition vs. rebellion, structure vs. creativity. The house itself is perfectly symmetrical, reflecting the balance between the two schools. It’s the only place where PCA students and VBISA students can coexist… most of the time. Some students secretly cross sides, blending ballroom with breakdancing, ballet with popping. Tension & occasional fights when PCA tries to impose "rules" on the South Wing. A legendary annual dance showdown where both sides battle for bragging rights.
