Lane Bayley Miller

Main character

None

Male, any pronouns (as in, he doesn't care. He's comfortable with anything, but identifies as masculine and uses he/him for himself. You can call him whatever you want.)

mid-late 20's

uhhhh idk come at me

5' 9"

Black

Short, wavy, but too short to really tell

aaaaalmost clean shaven. Not quite. Has a beard. Technically.

Brown, like basic bitch brown

He's of Mexican descent, and you can tell even though it was several generations ago, because genetics just do that sometimes

He's not a big person

• He's smiley


• Hand in pockets. Even if he has none. Hand in: vest, sleeves, your pockets, your hands, tucked under arms, hands in his own hands, etc


• stimming via rocking


• stimming via knuckle cracking and snapping his fingers


• stimming via tapping in tune to the song stuck in his head


• Literally incapable of putting the correct date down on forms. Always puts his birthday by accident, but when asked for his birthday screws it up every time. (His birthday is 7/20/2001. He almost always writes it 7/21/2000)


• Always writes the numbers, says the month which leads to "My birthday is the 7th of-ah dammit"

The sky. Overcoming his fears. Living in happiness with a good retirement (bro really thought the military could give him that)

• Too friendly, its gotten him into trouble


• Legit thinks he can persuasion/charisma check his way out of everything


• He's not that charismatic compared to the actual charismatic people


• Lil bit gullible
  -When he gets overwhelmed he 'windows closing down noise's'


• he's a tough little shit. He won't tell you it hurts until its way too late

I hate this section

• Tough little shit (He literally won't notice pain a lot of the time, especially if it's minor. He's blistered so badly it's scarred before, never notices injections, and he's been through REAL pain, so he knows not too much can stand up to that. Very casual about pain) (A lot of it is about ADHD, not machoness, to be 100% clear)


• flies under the gaydar


• flies under the straightdar


• flies under the gender-queer-dar


• flies under the cis-dar


• Literally blends in with every group


• He will MAKE you want to fly airplanes for a living just by telling you about it, he's got a beautiful vocabulary when he wants to

• bit of a gamer (GOD gamer, but only at 2 games and one genre and it's Stardew Valley, Doom 3, and every flight sim in existence. Kinda average at everything else)


• Dungeon Master material. He runs games here and there, and, like all dms, almost never gets to play


• He's a writer


• He plays flight sims A LOT bonus points if they're milsim


• Professionally bings his friends from across the room with missiles (whatever he's holding in his hand)


• Watching drone flying videos with hearts and stars in his eyes

Lane is a little emotionally removed from most people in his life. He'll be your friend. He will act very friendly. He will genuinely like you. He also will not engage more than necessary, or get emotionally invested in you. It's nothing personal, he's just an introvert.
He's a very simple person in principle. He makes sure his basic needs are met. He is very neat. He finds comfort in doing menial tasks. He's thoughtful and logical, but not coldhearted of unemotional. If you were just looking at his life through a window, you'd think he was having a perfectly average and complacent yet happy existence. And you're not reeaaally wrong. He just also has ADHD, the special brand that uses executive dysfunction to get a lot done. (Don't want to write your brother? Clean your entire house and your neighbors as well).
Time blindness is vastly overshadowed by time anxiety, burned into him by the military. He's chronically EXACTLY on time, and nothing makes his palms sweat more.

He has special interests, and those are the two games he has close to 4000 hours in each, and anything airplane/sky related. All his calendars are clouds and skylines. He has airplane socks. He has model airplanes and paint by number skys-scapes.

In a nutshell, he's a true neutral NPC, but all by choice

ADHD/anxiety
But he's not on medication, because the army wouldn't like that very much :) He lied on his enlistment papers.

Atheist

Liberal

Military, Navy

White, blue, yellow, purple, pink, green, I'm sure you know where this color scheme is from (hint:it's the sky)

Scalloped potatoes (he's so right for that)

cheap tiny model airplane he loses every other second, has a heart attack about, and then finds in that place he put it so he 'wouldn't forget about it.' (He then moves it to a new spot he also won't remember) He's had it since he was 5

His whole-ass airplane. That thing can break the sound barrier, AND shoot machinegun style, AND launch missiles. What's not to love?

CORGI

He has served in a variety of places as a fighter pilot. He was deployed to work for NATO for most of the latter half of his career. When that contract expired, he was put behind a desk for a few months before the war in America broke out.

July 20th, 2001

He's got a teaching certificate in early childhood education. He was gonna be a preschool teacher :)

Lane was born to a two-child household. He's the oldest, by one year. His parents knew they only wanted two kids. One of his parents was androgynous, and he and was named genderlessly more or less so he could choose his own name and identity later in life. Lane never changed his name, and Oscar, his adopted brother, similarly, identifies with his birth-gender.

Lane was homeschooled until high school, and learned the ways of the world at his own pace and in his own way. His parents let him learn what he wanted when, and he was just fine with that. He and Oscar were VERY close growing up, and to this day the two are the best of friends.

Lane joined the Navy and completed training to become a fighter pilot. he got hired on for many years as a pilot for NATO.
