Archie is also very sensitive, but rather than showing when he gets upset with a mean comment, he waits to cry into his pillow after he goes to bed.

Backstory: Archie's parents, Jared and Maxine, were both seventeen years old when he was born. Archie's birth was the result of a high school party and a lack of protection, and having teen parents posed a challenge for him. Growing up in a conservative town like Brookside where everyone knew he was a child of two kids was tough, and he more often than not received comments from other kids as a result of them overhearing their parent's rude comments and gossip about his family. For a long time, especially throughout his early teenage years, Archie was angry at his parents for making such a bad choice and bringing him into a world that seemingly did not want him. But, over time, he became less resentful and came to understand that sometimes mistakes happen, but it didn't take away any value from him.

When Archie was sixteen, his parents had another kid- Connie. From the moment she was born, Archie adored his little sister. He was excited to be an older brother, and was determined to protect her from the teasing and mean comments he often received. But to his surprise, nobody made any comments about his little sister like they did about him. He was admittedly both hurt and relieved by this, and sometimes he still is.

Throughout high school, Archie developed a love for math, science, and the idea of possibly becoming a doctor or healthcare worker. This curiosity about the career was partially inspired by his father, who is a doctor in the U.S army. Along with exploring his career interests, Archie also started a band with his close friends and is the lead guitarist. It also during this time that Archie became the target of Michael and Aiden, two football players on Brookside's football team. Their beef with him started when Aiden's ex girlfriend, the popular cheer captain Maya Woods, developed a crush on Archie due to his mysterious nature.

~ Connections ~

Jared Chamberlain: Archie's father. Jared joined the U.S army after high school to help provide for Maxine and Archie, but ended up really liking his position as a doctor. Maxine was determined to stay with him, but after he was deployed a couple times, he told her to stay in Brookside and to not move around all the time for his sake. He made a promise: "I'll always come back to you". It's been eighteen years, and he's kept it all this time. Archie and Jared have a pretty good relationship, but Archie feels a little distant from his father sometimes since he's gone quite frequently.

Maxine Chamberlain: Archie's mother. Maxine is cheerful and kind, a bright and positive woman who's determined to make the most of life despite her struggles. Archie is very close with his mom, and she balances out his shy and antisocial nature. Maxine had always encouraged her husband and son to follow their dreams, and she loves supporting Archie and his music. Maxine is a substitute teacher at Brookside High School, and loves to embarrass her son when she has the opportunity. When she's not teaching, she's at home with Connie.

Connie Chamberlain: Archie's two year old sister. Connie is giggly and snuggly, and she's very curious about the world around her. Connie is a little bit physically developmentally behind, as she hasn't learned to walk yet and still can't speak as much as other two year olds. Archie worries about her sometimes.

Gavin Kelly: Archie's best friend. Like Archie, Gavin is very quiet, though he is much meaner than his friend. He tends to be cold towards anyone who isn't in the band or close friends with his friends. Gavin is an incredible singer and songwriter, and wants to continue a career in music performance. If he's not able to do that, he wants to be a music teacher.

Percy Farrel: Archie's friend and band member, sort of the 'little brother' of the group. Percy is a year younger than Archie and Gavin, and two years younger than Winnie. He'd been somewhat of an outcast when he first started high school, and Archie and Gavin were quick to take him in. Percy has a 'golden retriever' personality and is very sunny and extroverted. Archie is very fond of Percy, as he reminds him a lot of his mom. Percy is the drummer in the band.

Winnie Mayfield: Archie's friend and band member, and the mom friend of the group. Winnie is a year older than Archie and Gavin, and two years older than Percy. She had already graduated, and she works as a manager at Latte Corner Café. Winnie was the first person to befriend Archie at the cafe, and he learned of her love of music and introduced her to Percy and Gavin when the three started the band. Winnie plays the keyboard, and she is dating another girl named Alice Greene.

Michael Jones: Aiden's best friend, kind of a yes-man. He pretty much always goes along with Aiden, and nobody really knows why because he's pretty tolerable when he's not hanging around Aiden. Archie likes to joke that Michael is gay for Aiden, and that pisses Michael off.

Aiden Bradbury: Archie's main tormenter, believes that Archie is irritating and that he tried to take Maya just to spite him. He also dislikes how popular Archie seems to be despite being a 'emo freak', as Aiden calls him.
