PERSONALITY
Myles has always been a fairly quiet kind of guy, similar in temperament to his father's easy going nature. He's not very outgoing, and often prefers staying back and observing things that happen around him rather than participating in them. Many times, when people don't even realize he's there or that he's paying attention, he's actually busy absorbing as much informaiton as he can. His attention to detail is almost obsessive, and it's one of the things that has fueled his passion for art. If anyone were to ask him, he would say he doesn't consider himself particularly gifted in his artistic skills, that it's all a result of hard work and being excessively thorough. As such, it likely comes as no surprise that he's a bit of a perfectionist, and would rather start all over again on a given project than to present something less than exemplary. Even so, mistakes don't frustrate him - he views them as an opportunity, a chance to grow and better himself, regardless of how long it might take him to correct. The time spent redoing something can't be considered time lost if it leads to a better version of himself.
Some people would describe him as a loner, but he doesn't really consider himself to be so. Sure, he likes having plenty of alone time, as it allows him to recharge from the stress of social situations, but he never actually feels lonely. He does enjoy companionship every once in a while, and his shyness doesn't keep him from being a friendly person - it's just that having just a couple of close friends is more than enough for him, and actually making friends isn't something that comes easily to him. School always came fairly easy for him, mostly due to the fact that he find it very easy to pay attention in class and memorize information. Admittedly, he wasn't always as applied to his academia as he was to his art, but his grades were always more than acceptable to not worry too much over it. He can also be viewed as a bit self absorbed at times, as he doesn't often involve himself in other people's matters, but he tries to show he cares in his own ways, even if it could be said that he could stand to make a bit more of an effort.
Myles did spend a fair amount of his teenage years trying to figure out his sexuality, although it wasn't too much of a concern as dating wasn't exactly on his radar. He did get bullied some in high school, mostly due to his inability to engage in typical locker room talk about girls - mostly due to his respectful nature, but partly due to the fact that he couldn't really relate to superficial sexual attraction. He did peg himself as asexual for a few years, until he met a girl in his Sophomore year of college whom he became romantically involved with, and as he grew closer to her, the physical attraction naturally followed.
LIKES AND DISLIKES
Myles' favorite color is teal, and he's not a fan of tomato red. He loves spring, and could do without winter. He's a dog person, and he hates reptiles. He could eat chalupas any day of the week, and he craves mango most often, but he hardly ever touches cauliflower, and dislike oatmeal cookies. He's not a milk drinker, he much prefers coffee. He likes painting and drawing, but he doesn't enjoy video games. His best subject in school is English, and his worst is Science.
APPEARANCE
Myles has never spent too much time thinking about his looks, although the same cannot be said about other people around him. He's an undoubtedly handsome guy, with thick black hair that he always keeps cut short, warm brown eyes and a jawline that has made many swoon over the years. He doesn't usually bother to keep himself clean shaven, although he also has no interest in the maintenance that's involved in growing a beard, so he typically can be seen around with one or two day stubble on his cheeks. Standing tall at 6'1, he has a naturally well proportioned body which is toned without being excessively muscular due to his preferences in athletic activities such as jogging rather than weight lifting. He's pretty health conscious, which is the main reason he tries to stay in good shape rather than for aesthetic purposes. As for his fashion sense, it's pretty typical of a guy his age, favoring jeans and plain t-shirts of sweaters to anything very elaborate, although he does at the very least try to go for clothes that fit him well, not being a huge fan of the baggy or oversized look.
FAMILY DYNAMICS
Myles has a deep respect for his parents, and he's always viewed them as not only carers but teachers, whom he wants to learn as much from as he possibly can. As a child, he was a bit of a mama's boy, striving to make her happy and proud of him at every chance he had. Of course, his appreciation and love for his mother hasn't faded in the slightest with age, but he has also grown closer to his father with the years, finding himself very much at ease around the older man, knowing he can talk to him about anything but also that they can comfortably be silent around one another if they feel like it. He considers himself extremely lucky to have the parents he does have, and he knows that even now that he's an adult, he can always go to them for advice and for comfort.
Being the middle child isn't something that has ever bothered him - he's certainly never felt that he lacked proper attention because of it. His relationship with Penelope has been strained at time, the older girl sometimes struggling to understand how he can be so easily content with his life, how he can so often be alone without being lonely. Once she stopped trying to get him out of his shell by pushing him out of his comfort zone, however, they did manage to grow a bit closer, although they admittedly don't dedicate a lot of time to keeping in touch with one another. He is quite a bit closer to Bianca, whom he's always felt rather protective of - possibly due to the notion that it was his duty to be so as a big brother, even though it wasn't pushed on him. Granted, there were times when they were children where he was a bit less enthused about her presence, mostly when she'd insist on staying glued at his hip even though he craved alone time, but things have balanced out since.
