while he was in prison. He was previously an atheist.
Morals: Myles follows the morals of Christianity.
Phobia(s): Automatonophobia- Fear of ventriloquist's
dummies, animatronic creatures, wax statues - anything that falsely represents
a sentient being.
Personality:
Description of voice: Very deep sounding voice with a prominent
‘deep south’ accent. Speaks quite slowly so he can express himself clearly,
swears only occasionally, overuses the word ‘man’ as a generic name for people
Hobbies: Likes jazz music and volunteering for charity
projects, doesn’t watch a lot of tv or read many books, has large array of
bandanas – enjoys collecting them.
Emotions: Generally a calm individual but can get very
angry if provoked though usually manages to keep emotions under control.
Relationships with friends are calm while relationships between partners are a
mixture of gentle and passionate.
Likability: Respected due to the amount of charity work
he undertakes and admired by the local townsfolk, only disliked by the youth delinquents
as they know that Myles could easily put them in their place if he needed to. Myles
is pretty happy about who he is but would like to look a little less
threatening as he feels it gives the wrong impression.
Dependant or independent: Fairly independent since
divorce and imprisonment – had to learn to fend for himself.
Life goal(s): When he was younger, all he wanted was to
settle down and have a family. He’s been married and divorced, without a family
yet he has given up on his dream as he believes that his ex-wife was his one
shot at a family. His goal now is to find out what happened to him and he
dreams of regaining his memory.
Funeral plans: He doesn’t want to die until he knows what
happened to him when he had the accident. Wants to be cremated & have ‘Only
the Lonely’ by Roy Orbison played at his funeral
Background:
Living arrangements: Living alone in a rented apartment
in the town centre. The apartment costs $500 a month to rent and has 2
bedrooms.
Occupation: Currently unemployed as no companies will
take him on due to his criminal record. In an effort to reduce the prominence
of this, Myles does a lot of charity work.
Family: Myles’ parents live in the neighbouring state so
he doesn’t see them very often but they’ve never been overly caring parents,
especially since he was put in prison. They don’t talk much and they are not
aware that he has a gap in his memory. Myles’ parents have been married for 27
years which is where Myles got the dream of being married and settling down
from. Myles has inherited his height and build from his father while he has his
mother’s face and personality.
Education: Myles went to the local public schools and was
an average student. He never really excelled at anything though was never very
bad at anything either. When Myles was a student, he wanted to be a mechanic
and pursued this by getting a job at the local garage at the age of fourteen where
he learnt all about bikes. Bikes quickly became his passion.
In the story
Relationship to others: Myles is close friends to his
mirror, the prison guard as the pair of them would get on well despite the fact
that they weren’t meant to talk in a social capacity. He is both the hero and
the villain as he is conflicting against himself and his past identity.
How I want the audience to feel about them: Despite the
fact that Myles has committed a crime and broken the law – technically making
him a criminal, I want the audience to feel sympathetic for Myles because of
how lost he is. He is missing a chunk of his memory and he has to stumble around
the world not knowing his own sins. For that I think that the audience will
think of him more as a hero than a villain.
Goal(s): To find out what caused him to lose his memory
and discover what actually happened the night of the crime.
