The Basics
[/i][/size][/right]
Name: Miles Henry Clay
Nicknames: None
Age:40
Orientation: Heterosexual
Desired Rank/Job:Hammel Counselor
Powers: Interdimentional clothing retrieval:Can create portals to a dimension which contains only clothing, (he is most practiced with hats.) He has limited control over the style, color, and materials of the clothing, but the energy necessary for dimensional retrieval is directly correlated to the intricacy and obscurity of the the article. As a side effect, the interdimensional stress causes a hair to fall out. Difficult retrieval can also cause considerable fatigue.

General Appearance:Miles is a physically imposing man. His height of six foot four is, however, partially mitigated by his tendency to slouch. As a side effect to his powers, Miles is now totally bald, but he’d like you to know that he wasn’t always bald, and still has facial hair! He’s a little self-conscious about it, but at his age, he’s learned to let it go. At work, he dresses in jeans, button-down shirt and a tie. In more casual settings, jeans and a shirt. However, he is rarely seen without a hat. A stylish hat. He’s a larger man, having the physique of someone who used to be in shape, but has let it fall to the wayside. You can tell he likes to enjoy himself, and he carries himself with confidence.
Personality: Miles is an average man, (except for his penchant for hats!) and has no delusions to the contrary. He is remarkably amiable, and is possessed of a nurturing nature which has compelled him to seek employment as a counselor, despite his tremendous potential in the field of haberdashery. He has a degree in psychology from the University of Vermont, where he was a member of the intramural curling team. When acting as a school counselor, he relies more on his natural empathy, and considers much of what he learned at the university to be useless.
He has an understated, rather dry sense of humor, which plays an active role in his interactions with others; he is not afraid to mock himself. He is generally placid, and rarely roused to intense emotion. He is amicable towards most people, but has a small number of friends with which he interacts regularly.

History
Miles grew up in rural New York, in an ordinary family, although it had far too many dogs (seven) for his liking. His power first manifested at age 13, in a particularly embarrassing incident involving bowler hats, which he refuses to discuss. His parents were completely supportive, and even encouraging of his metahuman status; some of his friends were not so supportive. He only remains in contact with one friend from before his time at Hammel.
Miles was an excellent, hard working student, though his college days were plagued self-consciousness about his premature balding, (a side effect of his power,) which somewhat limited his social relations. A friend got him involved in curling, and he joined the intramural team. Most of his college friends were on the team. After graduating with his psychology degree, with a minor in philosophy, he went straight to work as a school counselor. He worked in several elementary and middle schools, and has now come back to work at the school he once attended.
He has had several serious relationships over the years, but never settled down, the most recent ending about 5 months ago. He has heavily considered adoption, but feels that, as a single father, he would be unable to support a child in the way he/she deserves.
Roleplay Example
As this particularly stress-inducing sixteen-year-old bottle of crazy left his office, Miles turned up some smooth jazz by the man who shared his name. He muttered quietly to himself as he relaxed into the sweet trumpet of Miles Davis; “Gotta miss working for Polk Elementary; a five year old has no problems that can’t be fixed by a pink sombrero. Now where the hell did I put that form?”
As he shuffled through the gallimaufry of papers, pens, popcorn kernals, and random bits of plastic at the side of the desk, Miles again berated his complete lack of organization. Fortunately, even the most unlucky souls occasionally stumble upon the needle in the haystack, and Miles located the student’s paperwork in record time. Brushing aside the unwanted rubbish, He quickly filled in all the blanks, and set the form in his special “cannot lose this” spot the second drawer.
