Biography:

Archie Asalie was born and raised on Kelune of the Vazzend system. His childhood was not surrounded by much highly advanced technology, given not only the state of the Vulpkanin people, but he also lived reasonably secluded settlement in the terraformed zones. He was raised primarily by his mother, with his father spending much of his time with an off-world organization dedicated to relief aid and science calling itself the Pegasus Institute. It is during these early stages that a birth defect was discovered in Archie's heart. Too much stress or panic would cause cardiac arrest, but only two cases of catastrophic cardiac arrest are reported to have occurred around this time. Doctor records suggest that both cases were traumatizing. It is also implied that several cases of panic attack occurred.

 

It was found by doctors that Archie also possessed symptoms of mental illness. It did, however, take several weeks and three separate psychologists working in tandem to decide on what diagnosis to prescribe. It would eventually be decided as Asperger's Syndrome, to the ire of several, as this was not in fact a valid diagnosis at the time. This leads to mixed medical reports from different medical organizations. Archie was never informed of his diagnosis, and given medication under the pretense it would 'help him concentrate'. This would continue until the age of sixteen.

 

Being provided only basic education directly by his mother, he was eventually sent to a schooling initiative operated by the Pegasus Institute when he was thirteen. This was hosted by the Horizon orbital university, a great distance from Vazzend, and where he would stay for the next three years. It was here that he would learn things such as Galactic common, basic mathematics, and simple galactic history. At the facility, there are several benign reports of bullying, teacher concern for social capacity, delayed learning, homesickness, and several panic attacks. Due to the the extreme distance from home and family, and Archie's own disposition, this is not entirely unexpected.

 

A noteworthy scenario was a cardiac arrest situation in which his heart began to fail in a more complete fashion. With medical equipment that would have not been so readily available to him on Kelune, Archie was able to be saved, though his heart had to be assisted by a pacemaker to prevent death. This mechanical assistance also should now lessen or prevent further cardiac arrest of this nature, though panic attacks can still occur.

 

Leaving the facility early at the age of sixteen, he then spent much of his time working with the Pegasus Institute at several differing facilities at a large range of cultures and locations, helping primarily with logistics, transport and general support. He would move with the Institute for two years, being directly involved in several relief efforts and operations. It was around this time that he was trained in first aid. He would then serve occasionally in direct aid efforts as a first responder. Whilst both Archie and his supervisors had concerns for how he would cope with this field of work, there were only minor complications.

 

An opportunity to return home became available after these two years, at age eighteen, and was taken. After remaining on Kelune for approximately four months, Archie acquired an apartment on the lunar city Rapture, also a great distance from Vazzend, and this continues to be his place of his residence to current time. He would continue working for the Pegasus Institute until the age of twenty two, when he was, unexpectedly, offered what seemed to be a reasonable and fairly well paying contract by Nanotrasen, claiming that his background and current position would make him 'useful'. When his employer at the Pegasus Institute encouraged him to accept it, he did so.

 

Archie is a soft hearted individual, with a strong aversion to violence and a preference to tranquility. This is due to not only his own disposition, but also being conditioned at a young age due to his experiences with stress and panic. He trusts others readily, and rarely second guesses the words and promises of others. Empathetic to what could be a fault, Archie will push himself beyond his boundaries to help people, and worries about the well being of people around him. As he gives out kindness, he cherishes whatever kindness he receives in return, relying on the approval of others to maintain a healthy state of mind. Remarkably innocent and dangerously naive.

 

Bonus round

 

Archie has the ambition to one day own a wood cabin somewhere in a coniferous forest. This will of course cost an extraordinary sum of credits. He is saving for it currently.

Archie has a strong aversion to cloning and mechanical prosthetics. A result of this is that he, if ever he should meet his demise, will not clone. Precise cause is uncertain, though is linked to the brain responding violently. If somehow his brain does accept the clone process, anticipate unforeseen consequences.

Archie spends a good deal of credits on shampoo and hair/fur products, with the simple objective of keeping both it and his tail clean. This is, apparently, no simple task. His preferred shampoo is in fact a brand for children. It includes blueberry scenting. He does not sufficiently comb his fur, however.

Archie is, in fact, not a real doctor. He relies near exclusively on a medical heads up display to give him real time direction for surgery procedures. Should he be without it, do not expect proficient treatment.

Archie's favorite color is amber. His favorite animal is constantly in flux, but at time of questioning, the response was guinea pig.

Archie has a crippling weakness to belly rubs. Scratches behind the ears are also promising methods for complete incapacitation.

Archie enjoys pastry and dairy products more than one likely should. He does not typically drink alcohol excepting special occasions. As many Vulpkanin however, meat, particularly jerky in this case, will always be a favorite.

Archie is, despite his friendliness, introverted. He requires time to himself or other such. Too much social exposure of too great intensity in too small a time frame will cause issues.

Archie will concern himself with the wants and needs of others long before he will concern himself with his own limits. As such, and in combination with his introversion, he is at constant risk of burning himself out both physically, mentally, and emotionally. He is acutely aware of this, and does not seek an alternative.

Archie drinks his tea with plenty of milk and a fair amount of sugar.

Archie is extremely liable to hug. A grain of salt is advised.

Employment Records:

Pegasus Institute (Casual part-time)

Nanotrasen (Current)

 

Security Records:

[Clearance: Security] [spoiler2]Unconfirmed reports that subject partook in one (1) instance of non-violent protest against nuclear armament of research station NSS Cyberiad. No arrest was ever made.

No other instances of disloyalty, alleged or otherwise.

No criminal record noted.

Long term ID mix up noted. Incorrectly assigned as 'Vulfwa Ketnic'. Since correct.

Subject is known to be skeptical of Nanotrasen operations.[/spoiler2]

 

Medical Records:

Born with heart condition. High stress would cause this individual risk of cardiac arrest. Heart is now assisted: heart condition continues to degrade. Total heart failure in the future a possibility. Mental conditioning from this condition causes subject to deal poorly with stressful environments.

Further treatment refused by subject.

 

Subject suffers from Astigmatism and Hyperopia in the eyes. Glasses issued.

Proper treatment refused by subject.

 

Individual has been unsuccessfully diagnosed with ADHD and High Functioning Autism. Was eventually diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. No medication is issued for this condition at this time. Received Methylphenidate Hydrochloride at a younger age.

Doctors note: "I don't know who diagnosed this one with Aspergers, but in human space that stopped being a valid diagnosis about 500 years ago. I'd call this back and change it, but it's not like they're on any pills. Probably not an issue."

 

Subject indicates a strong aversion to prosthetics and cloning. Recommend alternative treatments.

 

Subject liable to burnout and often forgets to feed themselves. Recommending to watch.

Other Notes:

This character used to be called 'Vulfwa Ketnic'. This was quasi-retconned because I only ever named them Vulfwa because when I first joined this server I thought race based names were enforced. I since have learned this is not the case.

For the purposes of continuity, and because I'm too much of a weeny to ironman, any instances of Archie actually ending up dead are discarded from my personal head canon, though I may still retain some elements of a round, depending on how the people around me treat it.

300% not robust, and even if something is super suss will probably roll with it. Has once actually followed a sec borg into maint just because it asked.

Congratulations you made it to the end. I'll be working on this most likely over time to make it slightly less terrible. Hopefully.
