Bio
Look, I got lost on the way to getting some jajangmyeon and it'd be foolish to leave now.
-At twenty three years of age, Carson is one of the youngest talent agents in the entertainment world. Currently his only client is Niles Blake, but as Niles' career hopefully continues, Carson hopes to branch out into more clients. He's the closest thing Niles has to a male friend, but as much as Carson acts like the best buddy in the world, Niles maintains a strict professional relationship.
-Niles' co-star and frequent on-again, off-again romantic interest on the show. Outside of the show, Chelsea and Niles are friends, with Chelsea being one of the small handful of people in the entertainment world that is well aware of his orientation. She's quite flirtatious and always wants Niles to set her up with "one of your bisexual friends", assuming that Niles has those, of course. Chelsea is twenty six and wants to go from television to feature films.
They could totes be a band, but that would require some modification to either of our ideas, so maybe not. Either way, they could easily sort of run in the same circles.
It could be a running gag that he wants them to work together, but they just really aren't into the same kind of music.
Once one or both of us gets a character up and posted who knows what could happen. But yeah, if nothing else they could know the same sorts of people. Metal isn't her thing, more of a jazzy affair.
Goal To see if it's true what they say...that you can't go back again...and in so doing making amends with the past, in whatever capacity that comes in.
Marriage/Family/Love Life One would have to define relationships first to determine how many Niles has been in. He's been spotted at high profile events but never with his arms around anyone...though that could well be because he knows how to slip out of a crowd arm-in-arm with someone for an hour or two. His relationships, the ones that last longer than a few fun filled weeks and nights, tend to not last more than a handful of months. No pets to be had and the only remaining family he cares to consider is his younger sister, currently slaving away in art school.
Occupation Star of the Small Screen; Actor noted for his role on a moderately successful police procedural.

He once had a tattoo but had it removed and the scar still lingers, leaving a burn mark on his left shoulder blade. His eyes are a muddy brown, but are anything but dim. The only time he's been seen with facial hair is when his role(s) demand it, otherwise he's as clean cut as one could imagine. His hair, a natural brown, wasn't always so perfectly maintained and straight, and some people remember when Niles had permanent bedhead no matter what he tried.
Middleschool/Highschool Clique Niles was one of the band kids. He made first chair cello because he was the only cello player in his year.

Personality Niles is a bit of a smooth talker, quick with a joke and even quicker with an expression of genuine interest. And that's him when the camera isn't running and he isn't spouting far-too-clever lines at a way-too-quick pace. Despite not quite yet being in his thirties, Niles acts as if he's that cool older relative everyone looked up to and loved having over for family events. At least, that's how he presents himself to the ever discerning public eye. Rumors surround him, from co-stars mentioning how much of a perfectionist he is, (to the point where an extra was said to have fled the set in tears after being scolded by Niles) and how he believes that he knows better than the directors or people in charge.
Niles positions himself in a power position, making it clear from day one that anything he's involved in will eventually move along according to his own pacing and design. Which, on the plus side, makes him the consummate professional but then does make him hard to work with and even harder to like.
And still, despite that, Niles' natural (or seemingly natural) charisma and presence has served him well in his private life. Many claim to have been picked up by Niles but given how the details of his private life (including even his sexual orientation) are just that, private, no one quite knows who is in the know. But Niles has gone on the record on a late night talk show that things are 'going well' in regards to his romantic life.
He's not in the closet personally. Just professionally.
Short Bio Niles Blake only ever wanted one thing growing up and it was as shallow a want as any other child's. Niles wanted to be cool. But of course, that never seemed to be a possibility. He wanted a bass. He was given cello lessons. He wanted to style his hair after the people in magazines. He came to school once with what could generously be called 'bucket hair'. To his credit, he kept a positive attitude towards his misgivings, mishaps, and overall aura as a well meaning but misinformed dweeb. It helped that he was a naturally funny person, able to shrug off the embarrassments and turn them into endearing stories to be retold and recalled at a reunion years down the line.
His parents had a rather amicable divorce when he was near about half finished with high school and his little sister, Becky, was just starting. It was as simple a matter as both mother and father realizing that they didn't love each other and thought it would be better to just...see other people. Niles saw it as his responsibility to watch out for Becky, but realized it would be difficult with him going away after his own brush with what could be considered a 'divorce' of sorts and eventually onto secondary education. Still, the funny, kind of dweebish band kid was always watchful towards those who got close with his sister, which only made things tense between the siblings. Becky just wanted a fun high school life, to make mistakes and such.
Niles' life relationships, mainly his familial but even his younger friendly ones, all seemed to be breaking apart which, of course, affected the young Niles. He's since patched things up with Becky (paying for her art school goes a long way) but his lack of meaningful relationships has not gone unnoticed.
