Costume Description/Image: When in costume, he likes to wear an old World War 1 pilot helmet, goggles, and a brown leather jacket, even when he's piloting technologically superior fighting crafts. When not in combat, he'll usually place the goggles on the top of his helmet. He did it mostly for nostalgic reasons, but it eventually grew into his trademark.

Spoiler:

Personality: Cocky and energetic, he runs his mouth a lot about things people wouldn't understand. However on the other hand, because he rarely gets outside of his garage where he works on crafts, he has a hard time understanding and relating to other people. His social activity only consists of his work as a crime fighter. Everything he has can be replaced and destroyed, but to him, he cherishes his hat the most out of anything in his life.

Possibly the biggest quirk about Miles is that he never wears socks. And if he can help it, he doesn't wear shoes. He feels that if he does, his feet get too sticky, sweaty and uncomfortable. Despite frequently walking around barefoot, his feet don't smell of body odor. On the contrast, they smell like lavender.

History:

Stories. Legends. Passed down from one generation to another. Miles grew up in a family with no father. He was never told whether he was dead, or just walked away. His mother cared for him very much but worked heavy hours to provide for the family. He spent most of his time with his grandfather, who would share stories with him ever since he was 5 years old, about his great grandfather who served in WWI as a fighter pilot, and later his Grandfather serving in WW2. Miles' eyes would sparkle at the stories of bravery and honor that the men shared. The skill and speed of the classical fighter planes of their era. Miles always wanted to be just like them, and if he could, travel back into time to fight along side them.

Dreaming of the clouds, day in and day out, his grades slowly fell in school. He spent too much time doodling and daydreaming about his grandfather's stories. However, all that changed when his grandfather began getting ill. Miles spent many weeks on his deathbed praying he would get better. But it wasn't coming.

"Miles..." His dying grandfather said. His head perked up and ran to his grandfathers side. "Get that wooden box on my shelf..." He asked.

Doing so, he remembered trying to see what was inside. However, it was always locked with a key that he could never find. His grandfather reached his hand in the neck of his shirt, and pulled out an antique key, that had a string around the handle and wrapped around his neck. He passed the key to Miles.

"It's yours now, Miles." Opening the wooden chest, inside were pictures of his grandfather and great grandfather. All sorts of memorabilia from ages long ago. Miles couldn't contain his excitement as he rifled through everything setting it out in front of his grandfather in his bed. At the very bottom, was his great grandfathers piloting helmet, and a pair of goggles. It hadn't been damaged in all the years of wear, or combat. He put the helmet on and smiled wide for his grandpa. It was too big for him, but he would grow into it.

"Miles, listen carefully to me. I do not want you to follow in my footsteps. Your great grandfather and I, we killed a lot of men. Men that had families, homes, and fought for honor and country. They were not evil men. Promise me Miles, that you will not follow our path. War is never the answer. Answers don't come from taking other's lives, but saving them."

"I promise Grandpa" Miles replied.

His grandfather died that night. Miles vowed to live up to the legends of his grandfather, but live up to his vow. He wouldn't fight for country or religion. He wouldn't take lives for the ideals of someone else. He was going to save lives, and live his life as the best Pilot this world had ever seen. His grades shot up, he took an interest in robotics, engineering and aviation. However, his great ambition to become a pilot made him excel greatly in all his courses to the point where he could no longer be taught. But instead, come up with something new. The inventor and pilot known as Miles Sawyer, had entered the world as a man. His inventions fueled any need for money he ever needed, and worked on several projects of his own design.

Needing a helper, one of his first creations was an AI Program that would keep track of all his blueprints and data. Eventually he needed more, he created a robotic assistant with a singular claw arm to help him in the creation of his projects. The bigger his projects got, the bigger his need for a better assistant became. Though the program stayed the same, the robot rapidly evolved in stages into an android. He named it Vara. Vara, was now built as more of the muscle he needed to help him build the crafts he desired. In time, he obtained a bunker, hangar and personal airstrip for his creations out in the middle of nowhere in Utah. Far from his original place of birth, but he was miles away from civilization and snoops. Far enough to concentrate on his creations.

Now his life will begin fighting crime. Saving lives, not taking them.

Powers: He has no super powers, other than his intellect providing him superior engineering and robotics skills. As well, his skills in Air combat are almost unparalleled.

Weaknesses:

1. On foot, he's very vulnerable. The ability to get to his aircraft is not always available for him.

2. He is really adept at fighting from the air, but once a target goes underground or inside a structure, its difficult for him to track his enemies.


Vara: An android used mainly as Miles' companion and assistant. She organizes all his files, is a lot stronger than him, and co-pilots a lot of Miles crafts. She is also used as a personal bodyguard, and a decoy in dogfights. Vara is equipped with an internal destruction program. Whenever hacked or severely damaged, she has an immediate data wipe. All of her info is backed up at Miles hangar. However, she will not remember a thing that happened that day when the program gets placed into a new cybernetic body. She was programmed to co-pilot, and fly by Miles, but she's still a program and not even close to Miles piloting skills.

Spoiler:

Rebuilt Prototype WW2 Fighter: Single passenger, Miles can only fly alone in this vehicle. The Vara program can only be installed in his HUD (Heads up display) to give him information about the status of his flight, or give him on-demand information about locations and other information. This vehicle, though his favorite, is the slowest. It's mainly pulled by propeller, but has jet propulsion for emergency situations when needed.

Equipment: Four high-caliber machine guns mounted on the wings. Nose of aircraft is a missile launcher capable of holding 12 Missiles in the chamber. Underneath the craft is a dropping compartment for either neurotoxin or a bomb.

When in severe danger, his cockpit changes into a pod, and drops him from below rather than launching him into the air. The pod is immediately cloaked before it is dropped. Vara takes over what control she can of the ship wirelessly and tries to guide it to the ground the best she can without any damage to the vessel if possible.
