Name: Miles Gershwin
Age: 20 (Currently)
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Gaia
Current Home: He has been in Sovereign for the past year, due to the wall.
Personality: Miles has always had the gift of wanderlust, he feels uncomfortable when he is forced to stay in one place for a long period of time. This proved to be quite the problem for him when the wall went up around Sovereign, but he found solace when he joined a group of refugees. He found that while he was keeping their spirits up his own issues seemed to fade away.
He is a naturally caring individual, growing up in the close knit community of his ‘clan’ it was expected for everyone to look out for each other. He finds joy in easing the worries of those around him. This also leads him to be a pacifist, he just can’t bring himself to intentionally cause someone else pain. Unfortunately for Miles the world that he finds himself in is not suited for a man of his characteristics.
Despite the circumstances that have shaped his life recently, Miles has refused to let them corrupt his heart. He remains a cheerful young man with an iron will. No amount of death or loss has managed to break him of these defining characteristics.
Bio: Miles was born on the road, quite literally. His parents belonged to a group of travelers, all of which were either friends or family. The ‘clan’, as they referred to themselves as, was an extremely close knit community. As one would assume, Miles led a non typical life compared to most children. He was educated by the various members of the clan, and all of his friends were people he had known since birth. He never really paid attention to these differences, though he did in fact notice them when his clan stopped by towns/cities. He just accepted that everyone has a different experience while growing up.
Due to the constant traveling that his clan did none of them had actual jobs, instead they used special talents that they developed to earn Laurels. These talents varied as much as the people that used them, sleight of hand tricks, singing, juggling, while others picked pockets and otherwise conned people while they were distracted by the more mundane entertainers. Developing this skill is considered one of the two main trials that children have to go through, this one is at the age of 10. Miles discovered that he had a gift for playing the violin.
The rest of his childhood passed by uneventfully, just traveling the land without a care. His clan never stayed in a city for more than a couple months, always leaving just before anyone could catch on to their little schemes. Finally the time of his final trial came when he turned 16, the age that a child becomes an adult in his ‘clan’. It was time for him to leave the clan and begin wandering on his own. Most who leave the clan during this trial end up returning in a few years, but there are a rare couple who continue to wander aimlessly, some even forming clans of their own.
During the three years between the start of his trial, and his ending up in Sovereign, Miles focused his travels on cities that his clan had never stopped at. He refused to resort to the more criminal acts that his clan were known for, instead relying on his ability with the violin to earn enough money to buy the necessities. He had been saving Sovereign for his last stop before rejoining his clan, however he never got that chance. A couple of days before he planned on leaving, the gate opened and the wall went up. The first couple of months into the quarantine were a living hell for the born wanderer, as he was completely trapped. This feeling eventually washed away when he began using his new found talent to ease the suffering of the group of survivors he had ended up with by giving them hope.

Kage Type: Kamikage
Kage Name: Melody
Kage Primary Power: Emotional Resonance- Melody is capable of shifting peoples emotions via soundwaves. Miles uses this ability through his violin. It is easier to use this ability on individuals who aren’t hostile towards him. Typically he has been using this power to give hope to the refuges in the city.
Kage Personality/Description: Melody is a very kind and caring Kage. She has never wanted for anything, even before the gate opened. The only reason she bonded with Miles was because she needed to. Since they bonded her personality has remained unchanged.
