## Early Life

Miles was born into nothing. Although he was born in the Capitol, his family had no riches or wealth or status. His mother was a morphine addict who abandoned him shortly after he was born, and his father was unknown. He was found in an alley by a capitol citizen and brought to an Orphanage, where he stayed from infancy to the age of 6, when he was placed in his first foster home. He didn't stay long, as the family who housed him returned him shortly after they found out they were having a child of their own. He was bounced around several other homes from the ages of 9 to 13, none of which became permanent. However, the foster homes he was forced in and out of weren't a total waste. It was in these homes where he had access to the cutting edge technology of the time, and here that he found his innate skill for programming and hacking. When he was 14, Miles left the orphanage of his own volition, choosing to make a living on the streets instead.

After leaving the orphanage, Miles was forced to support himself completely, sleeping under bridges, crashing in abandoned buildings, or anything other shelter he could find. Food was always scarce, and outreach for the homeless in the Capitol was nearly nonexistent, due to the vast majority of citizens being wealthy. Miles learned early on how to steal from restaurants, stores, and homes to get what he needed to survive. It wasn't an easy life style, but anything was better than going back to where he came from. He found odd jobs, most of them linked to the underground market of the capitol, more commonly known as the black market. It was in this world he was able to hone his skills as a hacker and inventor, designing a variety of illegal weapons and other forms of technology for questionable people. He made a name for himself amongst the criminal and theives of the Capitol, but that wasn't enough for him. Growing up with nothing had made him constantly hungry for more of anything he could get, whether it was money, safety, and especially power and status.

When he was 17, Miles hacked into several notable locations in the Capitol, including the Gamemaker Headquarters and the Tribute Center as well as the President's home network. He did all of this from a public library computer, and though his skills were crude and unpolish at the time, he was able to gain total control over the most important systems in the capitol for about a half hour, as well as gain access to a number of classified files. He interrupted the streaming of the 69th Annual Hunger Games and shut down the Gamemaker building and the Tribute Center. His plan was to hold the entire government hostage and extort money from them. Unfortunately, he was caught fairly quickly due to the Capitol's superior tracing technology and more skills programmers, and he was taken into custody and marked for execution.

However, his life was saved by the programmer who located him, Cassandra Lang. Instead of killing him, she proposed that he be given a job, as he was the only person to date who had been able to successfully hack their systems. A deal was struck, and Miles was given a job working for the Capitol designing systems, provided he follow two conditions. One: that he explain how he was able to access their data and explain how to fix it for the future, and Two: that he both work underneath and be mentored by Cassandra.

## Career

### Early Career

Miles began his first job working in the Capitol in 70 ADD, shortly after he turned 18. He began as a system design tech, writing code and systems for various parts of the capitol. He spent his first year being mentored by Cassandra Lang, who taught him the majority of his skills and programming knowledge. It wasn't long before he caught the eye of the President of Panem, who promoted Miles to Gamemaker before the year ended.

### Gamemaker Career

Miles' promotion to Gamemaker was the obvious next step after the innovation he showed in his job as a programmer. He began working in the Gamemaker Headquarters in time for the 71st Hunger Games. Although he was the newest addition and also the youngest, Miles took no time settling in and proving himself worthy of the gamemakers chair. His older coworkers began to resent him due to the attention that he and his ideas were receiving from their bosses, specifically Cassandra Lang and Clio Acosta, the head game maker at that time. His youth certainly helped at bringing fresh ideas to the table, but Miles' success should also be credited to his upbringing and cutthroat personality. No matter how high he climbed on the social ladder, it would always be a dog eats dog world, and Miles lived his life accordingly. Instead of attempting to work with his coworkers, he competed against them, taking every opportunity he could find to show them up and prove his superiority. As a result of this, he was immensely disliked by the people he worked with, apart from Clio Acosta, who he made a point to behave in front of.

Miles' staggering ambition and his notable cutthroat mentality caught the eye of several important people living in the Capitol. One being the ever popular victor of the 65th games, Aella Rogue. The two formed a tentative friendship, but it blossomed into mutually assured destruction for both parties. The amount of information and insight they had on each other proved to be the stabilizer these two unpredictable individuals needed to make the friendship last.

The second eye Miles' managed to catch was that of the current President. The President had noticed Miles' willingness to break the rules and clear lack of a conscience, so he put him to work in sort of an "under the table" job, creating top secret weapons and tech for the Capitol. Miles developed a number of lethal weapons for the Capitol, as well as some new methods of *persuasion*, which he would come to regret in later years.

Another notable relationship Miles forms during this year is a friendship with Chantilly Sommers. The two meet during a party thrown by a capitol elite shortly after he is promoted to gamemaker. This relationship is significant for Miles because Tilly could be considered his first friend. Relationship detailed more under Significant Relationships further down.

### 71st Annual Hunger Games

Miles' first game as a gamemaker was the 71st games. Because he grew up in severe poverty, watching the games was one luxury he had always missed out on. His lack of prior games knowledge proved to be an advantage as it completely eliminated something most of the current gamemakers were suffering from: unoriginality and staleness. The 71st Games certainly became a games to remember, taking place in a dizzying series of tunnels and caves that were almost completely dark, the only source of light being a luminescent Cornucopia in the largest and centermost cave. Some other contributions Miles' made to that years games included:

* Tunnels descending completely underwater and surfacing further on ( aimee's idea, give her credit folks )
* Straight forward tunnels ending suddenly in a steep up or down shaft that tributes are forced to freehand climb or descend
* Manually operated mining elevators
* Sumn with lava, idk yet but lava sounds sick
* Tunnels gradually collapsing from the outside in to push tributes together
* Event towards the end where the tunnels are lit up for a specified period of time, giving tributes the opportunity to seek out other tributes, but the lights turning off too early causing some tributes to get lost and others to battle in pitch black.
* Hallucinogenic cave moss ( you've seen phineas and ferb, u know what i mean )
* Caverns filled with overlapping extremely sharp giant crystals ( also aimee's idea )

The victor's crown that year was given to Mikael Orimura, the male tribute from District 2.

### 72nd Annual Hunger Games

This years arena was very mountainous in terrain, composed of large and steep cliffs, high altitude, and little shelter. Notable traits of this arena include vastly different climates, deep caves in the mountainside, numerous avalanches and rockslides, and severe weather. Many tributes lost their lives to the elements, as well as accidental deaths and starvation. The winner of this games was Alilune Lovelace, the female tribute from District 8.

### 75th Annual Hunger Games - The Quarter Quell

The Quarter Quell should have been like any other games. Miles was facing his fifth year as a gamemaker with plenty of experience and ideas now under his belt. Quells happen just once every 75 years, so being on the staff of gamemakers during one was exciting.
