PERSONALITY

Miles was relatively quiet while at Hogwarts, or so it seemed. He was actually quite content to stay in the shadows and keep his opinions to himself in the political turmoil that seemed to govern, not only the outside world but the school. While his family strongly supported the dark lord and his pureblood teachings, Miles would nod but he felt politics as a whole to be a waste of time. He did not want to get involved with either side.

His seeming indifference drew much criticism from his housemates although he was never considered disloyal, appeasing his family members. Put off by the nature of the world, Miles discovered quidditch and through that, a new zest for life. Miles hated the seriousness of politics but quidditch offered him a new freedom.

Cocky and confident on the pitch, Miles carries that over into life. He has fun, the life of the party. He is good looking and knows that as well. He enjoys his fame as a professional, including the women that come with it. He has fans and he knows it, further bolstering his ego as a future quidditch legend.

The one thing that holds him back is his family. His mother serves as Miles' reality check. He can hear her criticizing the way he lives, his antics on and off the pitch, his attitudes. He has learned to ignore the voice in his head, but he knows that she finds him shameful and her distance from him is really what keeps him from being too serious with people, especially women. They are toys, not companions, in the back of his mind, he knows he will only disappoint. He covers it well unless he is upset or stressed and then the constant criticisms come back. He cannot do right in her eyes and he never will so why should he bother.

Flying is something that Miles has always enjoyed. When he is troubled, or just wants to unwind with no people near him, he takes to the sky. This is where he works out his problems and cleanses himself. It is where he is most at home. While at Hogwarts, when the pitch wasn't in use, one could often find him sitting up on the goal hoops.

General Description:
Miles is, by most standards, a good looking man. He was not as noticeable at Hogwart's, really developing more as he began his professional quidditch career. Miles is a bit short at only 5'10" and lanky, perfect for a quidditch chaser. As a keeper, most are little bit bigger than he is but what he lacks in size, he makes up for in speed. He works out diligently and has a physique most would kill for and he knows it. He doesn't mind showing it off either.

Miles' dark hair, pouty lips, and shockingly blue eyes only add to his appeal. Since his time in Hogwarts, he has become quite extroverted, using his charms to please the fans he has amassed in his time with the Falcon's. He commands attention wherever he goes and is not shy at all when it comes to something he wants. He has done several photo shoots and would consider a career in modeling but prefers quidditch beyond all else.

HISTORY

Miles Tristan Bletchley was born to Mitchell and Triana Bletchley on November 29, 1977. Mitchell, a death eater supporter, worked diligently as an accountant, supporting his family on moderate income. He spent much of his time on death eater accounts, hiding money for the cause and setting up accounts throughout the wizarding world for those families such as the Malfoys. Triana was a stay home mother for Miles and his younger sister Marisette.

While Mitchell toiled, Triana raised the children as best she could with her husbands long work hours. She commanded that her children act like they were the highest of society, even though they weren't. They were still pureblooded and would someday surpass what she and her husband had done. She grilled this idea into the young Bletchley's constantly, stressing the need for them to conduct themselves with superiority at all times. In spite of her teachings, her son was obsessed with all things quidditch. He collected cards and any equipment and books he could find. He talked of it constantly although it was dissuaded by his mother, who would constantly criticize him for his crazy imagination. Miles would not play professional quidditch and that was final.

At school, Miles began with those ideals in mind. He was quickly sorted into Slytherin to his families delight. His mother was finally happy with his accomplishments for the first few years. She kept her disappointment at his less than stellar grades to a minimum as he was passing and following the house of the dark lord, whom she hoped would take an interest in the boy, more so than his father. Her hope was short lived.

Miles began playing quidditch in his third year as Slytherin's new keeper with moderate success and his father's full support. This is where his true calling began to come through. During his fifth through seventh years, he became a force on the pitch to be reckoned with. It was the reason he was there and he gained confidence and attention, demanding it even. Ruthless and domineering, Miles could sail just short of getting suspended while doing some serious damage to the opposing team if they came too near his goal. He carried that same attitude over to professional play where he is a notorious keeper for the very successful Wimbourne Wasps.

After the war, Miles' father was taken into custody, having successfully set up accounts to help the death eaters for years. He was charged with conspiracy and treason to the ministry and sent to Azkaban where he was killed in his cell after three years. This was a great blow to Miles, whose career had just begun to take off. Left without his support, his play suffered. His mother was constantly trying to reign him in and he was very close to being moved back to a reserve position.

It was his best mate, Marcus Flint, his fellow former Slytherin, that brought Adrian out of his depression and set him on the path to quidditch greatness, taking him under his wing and showing him what he could be. Flint's reputation was now legend and Miles quickly followed suit, rebelling against his mother's teaching with a renewed lust for the game and for the wilder side of life.

Due to his resurgence as a force to be reckoned with, Miles gained several endorsement contracts and some modeling jobs. He is a fan favorite for both his ruthlessness and his good looks, and commands attention. He still secretly hopes that one day his mother will be proud of his accomplishments but he will settle for the rest of the wizarding world's adoration.
