What's to know? Archie is largely unknown to the wider world, as he isn't a parahuman nor even a particularly influential civilian. At most, one can learn that he lives with his parents, and has an older half-sibling named Sasha from his mother's previous marriage.

Persephone's signature creation, this set of metal, jet-powered wings can be seen most days and nights propelling her across the city.
 
* ''Appearance'': A pair of black metal bird-like wings, implanted into Persephone's back. Fully extended they measure ten feet wide. They are coated in a prismatic coating that shines in the sun, and underneath the black titanium feathers, a silvery support structure can be seen. Two jet engines the size of coke bottles are mounted at the base of her wings.
* ''Abilities (Wings)'': The wings themselves are highly tactile, giving Perse full feedback and feelings (including pain). They're flexible enough to shield herself, and strong enough to take pistol bullets.
* ''Abilities (Engines)'': Her twin jets are hybrid-fueled (similar to SABRE) engines) allowing operation at both low and high altitudes. At full chat and given enough room, she can approach transsonic speeds (although at this speed her turning radius is measured in miles). The jets have thrust vectoring; when combined with her wings' flapping she can hover in place with the speed and maneuverability of a drone. Approximate acceleration in jet-mode is 25m/s<sup>2</sup>, in rocket mode she can get a max of 10G acceleration, but this is not sustainable.
 
Chemical synthesis modules in her back produce Tinkertech jet and rocket fuel and store it for use in flight.

When it gets bad, he may have a couple of bruises.

While Archie lightens up around friends, the side he never shares with others reveals deep and abiding hopelessness.

Backstory

Archie was born into a blended family to Hannah and Frederick Jones, and was raised in Devilfish his entire life. What disrupted an otherwise normal life is older step-sister Sasha: she got into the habit of degrading his self-confidence for the sake of her own- she needed to feel like she was on top, and decided new baby brother was getting in the way.

Unfortunately for Archie, Sasha was much beloved by both of her parents, especially when she enrolled at Taylor College in their Parahuman Studies program. Their parents felt proud of her accomplishments, so they condoned and eventually joined in on her attempts to "motivate" Archie to make something of himself. This treatment slowly escalated from insults to tirades, and recently physical violence. Archie hides the bruises as best as he can.

Attending Eagle Mountain High has not satisfied any of the desires of Archie's family, and he increasingly feels unwelcome in his own home. These days, he wanders off into the city alone. After all, going home to do homework is the only way he gets a moment's peace, so it's best to do literally anything else when there isn't any.
