Miles Leighton is a Seelie Nocker Grump (barely) and founder of the Scalawags.
Overview[]
Miles was never happy living at home. He always seemed to get in arguments with his parents, especially when they caught him taking apart the radio, television, stove... all in the name of trying to make them work better. Eventually he went through his Chrysalis, discovered his true nature, and decided he didn't need to live at home anymore.
He had always wanted to see more of the world and he got his chance when a traveler (often mis-called a tinker) gave him a ride in his caravan after Miles helped him fix a broken wheel. He loved the method of travel and decided he'd never live anywhere else but in a caravan. Saving the money he made doing odd jobs, he managed to buy into a lucrative tourist caravan trade, which made enough money to purchase caravans for his own use. During all this he met Evangeline and Tully and the three took to traveling together. When Miles realized that Evangeline's stories and Tully's strongman act were bringing in money, he recruited some like-minded kithain and started the Scalawags.
Though he claims to prefer "just working on the wagons and props and taking care of the business end," he is never happier than when he is onstage playing the hot-under-the-collar father of the bride-to-be or assisting a patsy from the audience in making a fool of themselves. He would never admit that Wisp's singing enthralls him, or that he secretly adores Evangeline, though he hasn't got a clue about what she's really like. Despite his gruff exterior and rough language, Miles has found a life and family he loves.
Personal[]
He is what he is. Some people might think him a little strange that you hang out with trolls and pooka and eshu and run a theatrical company. Well... furk them.
Image[]
Miles is "just under" 5'9" (or so he says; he's actually barley pushing 5'7") and a little on the chubby side. He wears carefully pressed jeans (none of that "lived in" cuck for him) and colorful paisley shirts with sports sandals over thick woolen socks. He is apparently glued into a woolen cap and his scraggly blond hair spills out form underneath it, looking as if it hasn't been combed for years. His eyes are a watery blue. In fae mien, his hair bleaches to white, his ears become sharply pointed, and his face becomes clownish white with a spot of red on each cheek and one on his nose... as if he'd been on a weeklong binge. He goes all out on clothing in this form, with swirls and curves decorating so much of his attire that looking at him too long or intently might become nauseated or motion sick.
