Miles

Miles, labeled The Angsty Musician, is a contestant on Total Drama Lakeside.

Biography
Miles, who has always been a musically-inclined person, formed a garage band when he was in high school, then got to college and continued making music. For a while, it seemed he was destined for great things - he was studying not only music production but theory, and was accumulating a pretty reasonably-sized fanbase. He was also in a relationship with a girl he had met in a high school math class, who he was deeply in love with. Although the two went to college in different states, Miles kept motivated by thinking of her, writing music about her, and inviting her to his various shows around campus. One day, towards the tail end of his freshman year right before he and his band were to perform an important gig, word got out via text that Miles' girlfriend was cheating on him, and he learned about this the hard way. Miles was inconsolable, so he immediately canceled his gig, went to his room, and didn't leave for at least 48 hours. Ever since then, for the past two years, Miles' outlook on life has drastically changed - he drastically changed his fashion sense and got a couple ill-advised tattoos/piercings, he smokes copious amounts of weed, he has almost no motivation, and he spends most of his time making poorly-produced beats on a music streaming site as opposed to playing with his band. Although he's definitely depressed, he has also constructed a sort of persona around being sad, to the point where it consumes his whole being and he labels himself as a "sadboy" voluntarily. He doesn't seem to want to get out of the funk, as it's just routine at this point, and has been resorting to hooking up with random strangers to fill the void his former girlfriend left.

Miles' few remaining friends made him a tape for Total Drama because they were worried about him and wanted him to get out of his apartment for once.

Trivia

 * Miles' original names were Liam and Milo.
 * The character who eventually became Miles was originally going to be a SoundCloud rapper parody, named something ridiculous like "Lil Phuck." I felt like as funny as that'd be, it'd also be a one-joke character, and Miles' shtick would provide more versatility.
