brief summary of personality:
keith got his personality from his mother maggie. keith is shy in an unfamiliar surrounding and tends to not branch himself out to others. basically, keith is the mysterious loner boy you see in the corner of the classroom.

some are mistaken that he has no friends, well that is entirely untrue. the world would be a sad, sad place for him if he didn't have friends. but after what had happened to him recently, his friends isolated themselves from him.

if there's one thing keith is not, that's mean. keith will probably be the most sweetest person you have ever met. he's caring and nurturing and will never turn down a person in need of his help. he's extremely nice and friendly, but only when you get the chance to know him.

keith is an average student, a's and b's on his report card. but his heart and abilities tend to lean towards music and art. those two things are keith's world. keith plays the bass, writes songs and sings. pretty well actually, though he'll never admit it. what he will admit though, is that he has an obsession with the beatles.

most of his time is occupied by drawing. keith draws whatever catches his attention and instantly implants the image terrifically on paper. keith is private about his drawings and never likes to show and outsider them. chances are you'll only see one if he considers you important to him. keith also favors painting, but sketching people is what he loves the most.

history:
keith's childhood was anything but normal. if anything, it was dramatic to the extreme. first of all, his father ethan was an alcoholic and had a tendency to become abusive when he was heavily intoxicated. so through his elementry years, keith was the target for his father's anger.

keith also had an issue with his sexuality. for the longest time he was confused on what he liked - boys, girls, or both. keith finally understood at the age of thirteen that he was bisexual. after he came out of the closet, keith lost a lot of his friends because of it and he even lost his family. no one accepted what he was, so they isolated him.

ethan and maggie were convinced it was a phase in their son's life, so they shipped him away for a few years to his aunt's house in hopes he'd come home a heterosexual. that of course didn't happen because all that keith came home with was more experience. the archer family still rejected their son and brother, which made keith depressed.

the depression is what made keith start to do drugs, heroin more than anything else. he injected it into himself daily and soon became addicted. keith's life spiraled down a dark hole by then and he started to hang out with the wrong crowd and do bad, illegal things. keith even went as far as to steal drugs from a dealer and get the shit beat out of him because of it. but there's always one night he remembers.

that's the night he met holly. holly was known for her reputation as a slut among the boys and although keith seemed to favor his own sex in terms of attraction, something pulled him towards holly and soon he found himself falling in love with her. they had unprotected sex one drunken night and a few weeks later, holly came clean to keith she was pregnant with his baby.

holly let him know right away she wanted to get an abortion, but keith wouldn't allow it. he told holly if she went through with the pregnancy, he'd take the baby off her hands. holly agreed, but the pregnancy seemed to draw the two more apart than closer. after caitlin skye archer was born, holly never came into contact with keith again.

one year later, keith heard from an old friend that holly had been diagnosed with aids and died shortly after. keith was heartbroken at first since holly had been his first true love. then he grew worried. what if he had aids? or caitlin? keith got tested as quickly as possible and once the tests were negative for both, he vowed never to do heroin again. so far, that promise lasted.
