| [atrb=width,500,btable][cs=2] Miles Apollo Emerson If at first you don’t succeed, jump off a cliff | |
RANK. E AGE. 21 DOB. 6 11 ETHNICITY. Your guess is as good as his OCCUPATION. Retail slave RESIDENCE. A small apartment in the lower east side | [atrb=width,100] |
| [cs=2] Once: |
A beautiful, blue-eyed little boy. His father’s pride and joy, his mother’s little angel. He made friends with ease. He kept up perfect grades. He was quiet, polite, and dutiful. He worked hard. He rarely caused trouble. His parents, both wakers, had three children, but it was Miles who was selected to go learn the arts of the Magi. He was a hard worker, a dedicated learner, so who better to send?
Better yet, he already had innate magic, magic of his own. Sorcery, recessive, the first in four generations to be more than simply a carrier. Surely he would have an aptitude for learned magic if he already had innate magic.
Then:
[/b][/size]He failed.
Studying was easy, studying magic was difficult. He struggled to remember rituals, used to engaging his memorization skills rather than muscle memory. He fought to remember rituals that contrasted with his knowledge of his own magic. He was unable to cast spells without drawing on his own natural abilities, he was unable to craft charms without his own magic interfering, destroying his work. After a year, he was unable to manage a simple unlocking spell.
As a gifted student, he was offered college scholarships. As a talented sorcerer, he was offered job opportunities. Miles took neither. He instead departed from his parents home, taking up a minimum wage retail job.
Now:
[/b][/size]Despite the recent sting of failure, Miles is trying to make a better life for himself. He seeks to explore the world of magic further, and find a better opportunity than his minimum wage job.

- Chronological Intution Miles is always aware of the time, down to the millisecond. Currently, this power can be disrupted by time travel or mental intrusions, but as he improves in skill and rank, he will eventually be able to tell perfect time regardless of interference.
- Supernatural Dowsing Miles has the ability to sense supernatural beings or the use of supernatural abilities within his immediate vicinity. Currently, he can only roughly tell where the magical signature is emanating from. He can typically distinguish if it’s a magical being or a use of magic, though as of yet, he can not distinguish the type of magic or magical being.
- Sensory assimilation Miles can access the senses of another being, and see/hear/smell/taste/feel what they are currently experiencing. This ability is limited to those within immediate proximity (half a mile), or those he’s had longterm contact with.
- Connections I Thanks to his dowsing ability, Miles has been able to identify a handful of sleepers who actually have powers of their own. Those he’d informed are not always pleased to learn of it, but some are, and from those few, he’s been able to win the loyalty of a handful.
- Library I Despite his failure when it came to learning the arts of the magi, Miles does still value learning and education, and keeps up to date on a variety of topics with the help of a charmed statue. Unfortunately, while it stores and searches information, it does not fact check it, so it’s only as good as the books he supplies it with. Currently it’s lacking in many areas.
