Archie Whittaker
Archie John Whittaker
Archie is the runt of a litter of 8 other siblings, and he was raised in a family of 15, with his mom having another, smaller litter after him. Being the runt of his litter, Archie was given special attention frequently, as he was frailer than his siblings for the longest time until he got older. Because of this, Archie grew up feeling more secure than his brothers and sisters, and as he was able to, Archie was the first to take greater risks, knowing his parents would be there to take care of him… This was a bit of an oxymoron, but initially being weaker, pushed Archie to push himself harder so he could keep up with everyone... But being weaker, he had to be inventive and he was crafty at making inventions that would help him do stuff he couldn’t do on his own.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Archie Whittaker is currently in the prime of his life, and although he is weaker than his brethren, he has created enough gizmos and gadgets to keep up with even the best of his peers... Though that does not change the fact that he is weaker than the average mousefolk. Nonetheless, Archie is healthy and has no discernible defects to his body.

Archie is mostly a white mouse with off-white fur, though he does have some brown fur on his toes, tail, and hands. On top of this, Archie has pink fatty pads on his hands and feet, and the inner parts of his ear are pinkish-peach.
Facial Features
Archie has brown eyes and tufts of hair on his head that are brown with a hint of a peach color as well. Archie also notably has well maintained teeth and a pink nose.

Education
As Archie became of age at 8 years, he left his family and went to school to learn about engineering and put his skills at making witty inventions to the ultimate test. While at school, a talent scout for the Puckleswiss expeditionary forces found him and discovered his talents. When they approached him, offering him a job in the force as a ranger, he took the job and they agreed to pay for the rest of his schooling. Since joining the force, Archie has perfected his skills of inventive weaponry, especially after gaining access to better materials beyond the scraps he was previously skilled at working with.
Employment
When Archie turned 9, he was deployed on a expeditionary boat, along with some Drimorians who were providing the boat for their voyage. Together, they were in search for new lands to expand their colonies into and possibly new luxuries to bring back home.
Intellectual Characteristics
Archie is very brilliant and can make weapons out of anything. Being a natural tinkerer, he likes to always make stuff to help him along in life after being born the runt of the litter. Archie can use sticks, stones, leaves, scraps of metal, water droplets, explosive powders... Virtually anything to make a weapon or a gizmo that can assist him in his goals.
Morality & Philosophy
Archie is very inquisitive and is always hungry for the truth. Archie spares little time for people he perceives as being deceptive, and he will often find quick ways to get the truth out of fibber, be it through humor, random questions, or flat out asking. Consequently, Archie is whole heartedly against lying and would rather you speak unkindly to him, but be honest, then to always be kind, but be a liar.
Archie has always been cared for by his parents and family, and thus Archie is loyal to the people he lets into his life and to his family. If Archie can tell you are an honest person, he will stick with you for the rest of his short life.
Archie believes there is always a solution to every problem. This is a boon and a curse to him. The boon is that Archie is the most driven mouse to help you or himself out. The problem is that if he hits a mental wall, he has a hard time letting go of the situation and will bullheadedly keep moving forward into what has him blocked until he breaks through it.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Archie is driven by the chance to explore, invent, and make other's lives easier through his inventions. Having physical shortcomings growing up the runt of the litter, Archie had to work extra hard to compete with his siblings. This determination to get himself on part, spilled over into a desire to help others whom are also struggling. Archie isn't always perfect with his words, and that's because he shines brightest in his creations.
Likes & Dislikes
Archie loves various types of cheeses, fruits/vegetables, and bread and he frequently makes himself sandwiches when he can to combine all his loves together in food. When it comes to his favorite in each category, Archie loves a sharp cheddar cheese, a sweet tomato, and a fluffy piece of sourdough bread. Although a lot of Archie's clothing is allowed to be raggedy, Archie does like to get new vests which he tries to keep in decent condition to the best of his ability.
Ironically, despite how much Archie likes to work with his hands and craft things, he doesn't like getting unnecessarily dirty. On occasion, Archie likes to fidget with his musket rifle, seeing if he can perfect it in any way, and he especially enjoys doing so when he doesn't have anything better to do. Being weaker than the average Mousefolk, Archie doesn't like to run in any way if he can avoid it, and he does try to keep his physical assertion to a maintainable level each day.
Hygiene
Archie, despite being a Mousefolk and a tinkering mechanic, grooms and keeps himself decently clean, opting to regularly wash off his feet at the end of the day, and wear gloves to keep his hands from getting dirtied from his work.

Religious Views
Archie greatly worships Kardan, whom is the primary god who created the Mousefolk, and he takes great reverence in Kardan's honest and pure nature. Despite worshiping Kardan, Archie also worships the Creator and Anteros, hearing legends about Anteros inventive feats.

Relationships
History
When they first starting getting closer and became more than just shipmates, Annie would try to boss Archie around, but Archie would use his mental prowess to work around her commands and stop her in her tracks, which slowly unglued her... Yet every time he would stop her from pushing him around, he would compliment her and challenge her in her thinking, rather than just right up refusing her commands. After another week of these new actions, the two started to connect on a deeper level, and a week after that? They decided to get married, there on the ship. Now they've only been married a short while, and their fresh marriage is currently being put to the test on a strange island called Janshima.
Relationship Reasoning
Annie and Archie have a deep respect for each other; both have had to be tough in their own ways. When the two of them came to serve together on the same ship, for the first time, Annie found someone she both couldn't easily boss around, but yet managed to slip underneath her layers of defense and see her vulnerable side. At first Annie was unsettled by this... But having someone she could let her guard down with, proved to be fairly attractive to her. Archie on the other hand was at first turned off by Annie and her abrasive bossiness, yet over time, he came to admire Annie's strength and after a week of sort of quietly observing her, he decided to start interacting with her. As Archie got to know Annie, he found her to be as loyal as she was strong, and he could see her constant care for others.
