Canon Resource Links: Major Miles to you

Personality: Miles is a strong willed Major, second to Olivier Armstrong. Stationed at Briggs, where the motto is ‘Only The Strong Survive’, seeing as he has, indeed, survived, he’s strong. Despite not looking the part (in fact, he looks on the skinnier side out of everyone in Briggs), he didn’t die out in the cold or by anything else going on. Because of this, and the training he had received, he is able to function on his own if Olivier is ever gone, just like the rest of Briggs. He is also the second in command there, so if permission is needed for something, he is the one to go to if she is not there. He is the one to repeat the ‘Only The Strong Survive’ to anyone who dares question it.

He takes his position very seriously. He’s never really seen smiling (except on a few occasions) and goes in it with the idea that he will kill. He can be extraordinarily cold if he has no reason to talk to someone or has an extreme dislike for someone (especially Kimblee). He doesn’t give off very friendly vibes and hiding his eyes with sunglasses from people just shows how cold he can possibly be. Of course, this is mainly if you don’t know him or are a trouble maker... or your name is Kimblee. If you show you are strong, such as what Edward Elric did when he faced him straight on without pity, he can be shown to loosen up, even smile and laugh.

His Ishvalan blood runs strong, and his pride for that country runs just as strong. He’s only shown hesitation towards one person in the entire series in relation to killing them, and that would be Scar, the Ishvalan. He probably would have eventually done it, had he not been stopped. He was pretty prepared to end Kimblee’s life, and for good reason as the man had murdered more Ishvalans than anyone else in the war.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
+ Excellent Military Tactics
+ Very intelligent
+ Strong (can survive in Briggs where only the strong survive), and cold resistant.
+ Good actor

+/- Very serious

- Hot tempered, least when it comes to Kimblee
- Holds grudges

Samples
First Person Sample: [It's clear that Major Miles is not use to these warm temperatures. As seen right now, on the network (by accident, thanks Spheal), where he is wiping his brow, looking up into the sun.]

I think I will need a new change of clothing soon. If it's going to stay like this.

[He looks towards Spheal who is standing near the PokeGear, and sighs lightly. Moving over to pet his Pokemon on the head.]

Where would be the best place to get new clothing? I don't think the outfit I've been given here is... appropriate at all.

Third Person Sample: He was still cooking, even after that network post, so he decided that, since he was alone on a route with just him and his new creature, that he could do a bit of makeshift work with his uniform so he didn't die. Looking towards him, he nodded, and moved closer to a tree. The moment he removed his jacket, he felt relief. No more heat bugging him like it had before. He had stopped sweating so much too too. How nice was that.

However, he was still hot, and even his Pokemon noticed the problem. He couldn't do much else about the rest, his pants and his boots had to stay on. Even the jacket was going to be a pain if he decided to carry it around. However, he was a Briggs soilder. He would work it out. Normally, he'd suffer through the heat, but it was getting to the point where he felt like he would have a heat stroke if he continued like that. Just a few minutes of cooling off, and then he'd pull it on before he headed off again. He let out a heavy sigh, holding his coat in his arms, while he stayed in the shade. Whatever he could do to cool off.

Until his Spheal came over and started to squirt him with water gun. He looked pretty surprised when they was happening. Removing his sunglasses so they didn't break, he just... gave Spheal a look. The ball Pokemon stopped spray and looked down at the ground. Sad about the look. "Hey." He moved over and bent down to pet the creature. "Thank you." He smiled a bit to the creature. He was just a thoughtful thing. And he was thankful for him. Making sure the water didn't affect his coat too much, he slipped it back on. "We'll make the next town by nightfall. Stay close." He had already planned the rest of their route out... they should be there almost immediately.
