Miles' spells lean more toward manipulating emotions, encouraging his group and seeing himself in a better light but he has a couple of damaging spells behind his belt particularly of the type that fill a headspace and do damage from within.
Key Spells:- General charming spells- Miles can give others a better view of him or make them predisposed to trust him
- Calming emotions- Miles can make enemies and people more docile- it's effectiveness is more dependent on the targets will in their emotions. eg. leaders of adverse groups are likely to feel slightly less wild them completely docile
- Miles can put thoughts in others head from ideas (he can't make them follow them but he can put them there) to annoying sounds that can inhibit. He can even make dissonant whispers causing some damage in the form of headaches. His favourite is blaring the sound of airhorns in his enemy's heads
Personality:Miles is an exuberant young man, he is the life of the party and often finds himself being the centre of attention, even when he doesn't mean to. He has a natural charisma about him, perhaps it's his charm or maybe his pools of confidence. Miles is a big flirt but isn't one to get romantically attached leading to a long line off one night stands and extremely short relationships. The idea of commitment in this way is somewhat lost on him, once upon a time this was out of his immaturity with a dash of naivety but now seems to stem from habit and maybe a bit of fear.
Miles doesn't care what people think about him. This lack of shame makes him free from adversaries holding him back from meeting his full potential but leaves him often pushing the boundaries too far. His concerns lie mainly in self-satisfaction and enjoyment. He doesn't really think things through before he does any thing and has a devil may care attitude. He is very carefree and just takes life as it comes but with that lies a certain immaturity and inability to take things as seriously as he should.
Despite often being surrounded by an entourage of 'friends' Miles is rather lonely. He's extremely slow to trust others and is often in 2 minds of whether people actually like him or it's his magic. Because of this, there are very few people Miles actually share his life with beyond a drink and a good laugh. Due to this he is fiercely loyal to his friends. They seem to get a side of Miles many never see and very few would expect where he invests time into their needs and interests. For these few people Miles is supportive beyond handing a drink, his support mainly coming in the way of listening to his friends issues. Despite all the drinking and partying Miles can be surprisingly level-headed. He often remains calm in the worst of times making him a magnet for people who are not.
History/Bio:Miles was destined for trouble before he was born. The bastard son of Mary Price and 'Johnathon Park', a British-born Korean historian hailing from a coven in the north of England. 'Johnathon' and Mary met when he was in America for work and building relationships with other covens. In the meantime he had built a particularly 'special' relationship with Mary However, it was short lived as when Mary found she was pregnant and reported so to Johnathon he dropped all contact and fled the country 2 months later. Mary took it all in her stride and tried her best to carry on as a single mum.
From Miles' most formative years it was clear he was going to be a handful. From the time he could drag his chubby little baby body across the floor he was dragging things off shelves and chasing after the family's border collie. Soon his little legs started taking steps and he made a habit of causing destruction and chaos in the form of household objects and soiled nappies. This led to his mother dubbing him Hurricane, a name he still affectionately responds to until this day.
As Miles grew older he began 'terrorising the town' as his mum put it. He'd ride his bike around flinging half insults (which were honestly more amusingly pitiful attempts at insults than cruel half the time), barking back at pets and pulling pranks on his neighbours. Although he never did anything seriously illegal he quickly became known enough for his mother to get forlorn shaken heads and condolences on the headaches he probably caused. Growing up his mother was his Kryptonite- no matter how rowdy he got he was a good son. He was still a ball of mischief about her- good doesn't always mean well-behaved- but they had a very close relationship and he respected her deeply.
When Miles hit his teen years he bulked up and grew into his charming looks and it didn't take long for him to take as much liking to the ladies as they did to him. Miles had a natural way of getting people to like him enough already and when some charm spells from his trained enchantment magic comes in it all came easy. Although his childhood mischief was all but forgotten to the adults of Tanner he once annoyed he was soon chalked up a childhood trickster who grew out of his ways and ended up as a normal teenager. To those more in tune with what those teens got up to, however, it was common knowledge he was a huge part of the party scene.
After Lilith's mum died Miles spend more time comforting her, grieving with her and being with her. Claire's death hit him deeply too as he was essentially his second mother but he remained stoic for his friend. This shared trauma only brought the pair closer together and by halfway through freshman year the pair started dating. Although Miles cared for Lilith and was a good partner in terms of affection and attention the importance of commitment was lost on him. He'd note his relationship was casual and although Lilith was the only girl he dedicated quality time to there were many times at parties he'd give in to drunken desires resulting in him messing around with other girls. Lilith was someone he saw himself eventually settling down with so he didn't see the rush in becoming exclusive. In this time his mother had her suspicions and between the partying and his unfaithfulness to Lilith Miles' relationship with his mother started to become tense yet he still cared for her. The Summer before senior year the one night stands started to feel off and Miles wanted to experience more in relationships before what he had imagined would be him ending up with Lilith. He asked her to go on a break and she didn't take it well, leading to a week of fighting and cursing each other out. After the messy break up Lilith started avoiding Miles and he fell deeper into bad habits.
When it came time to graduate Miles wasn't overly keen on studying more but wanted to live the 'college life' so went to a college in Olympia for business. He actually only stayed in college for a year but found himself an executive assistant job after an internship and remained in Olympia for 4 years. Although his executive assistant job paid decently Miles also made a side hustle out of reselling items in questionably ethical fashions and gained another small income from such. Eventually Miles had felt he'd done all he needed to in Olympia he returned to Tanner where he got a cushy corporate job at a local HR company. He finds it such a bore but it pays toward his future house fund and fuels his bad habits.
