Being shorter than most in his family has made Milo try to take as much space as he physically can, often with expansive and wide gestures. It's also just who he is.
Lean, he has a narrow and somewhat elongated face and the occasional red and black feather growing from his scalp and mixing with his long black hair. With time, Milo has learned to style his hair to make it seem just like a stylistic choice. What he cannot hide, however, are the two long black and red feathery wings that grow from his back, a clear sign of his half-Avriel heritage. Likewise, his hazel eyes have a soft, almost imperceptible swirl to them. Except for his head, the rest of his body is hairless.
While Milo wears whatever he feels comfortable on, he does enjoy testing out new trends, colours and styles if he can, adding his own personal touch or sometimes just doing his own thing, without caring much about other's opinions. One of the few traditions he takes to heart, fully and completely, is the embla ― his personal marking a tattooed geometrical flower on his right hand.
Life is too short to not follow your dreams ― that's the motto Milo lives by. Friendly, outgoing and often lighthearted, he seeks enjoyment and fulfilment in everything that he does, no matter how small. To those who can deal with his expansive personality, Milo can be warm and loyal to a fault, following those he loves and cares about anywhere, no questions asked. This tendency to take the side of affections, however, can often blind him to real justice at times. Not always his friends are in the right, but he'll still take their side until the very end. Still, when he notices an injustice or wrong-doing, he's not shy or above calling his friends out for their actions.
His enthusiasm seems excessive at times, to the point where he may appear unfocused, jumping from one activity to the other without really caring about finishing what he has started. While this is true, to an extent, Milo is extremely dedicated to those things that truly grasp his attention. He loves what he loves, and he hates what he hates, and is completely unapologetic about it, not trying to appear to be someone he is not. Maybe precisely because of that rejection cuts so deep. While he won't change himself or hide his opinions to please others, he wants people to like him, feeling hurt and personally attacked when he feels others dislike him. When displeased, Milo can be prone to outbursts of anger, finding it hard to hide or control his feelings ― be them good or bad ones. However, he'll refuse to show just how hurt he is, either by fear of it being used against him, or simply because he doesn't want to bother others. In that way, while it can be easy to figure out what he is feeling, it can be hard to talk to him about it, or for he himself to deal with his stronger emotions.
Despite all that individuality, Milo is althruistic and kind, wishing others to have the same kind of freedom of expression and find their own joy in life. He'll do almost anything others ask of him if he feels it's the correct thing to be done, or if it'll bring happiness to those he loves, even to the detriment of his own pursuits at times. Everyone is important, and everyone is connected ― to each other, to the world, to the spirits ―, and unless one honours that connection, they're doing a disservice not only to themselves but to the entire world. Or so is what he believes in.
All in all, Milo is driven by his wish to experience the world, the people in it, and just to see what life has in store for him. His curiosity fuels him to explore the world in the best way he knows how, and he'll always be up to try new things, no matter how crazy they sound.

So, here is where you tell us about your pcs history.
It's important that you are told that - what you write here, in this section, will largely determine your "CS Awards" from the staff member who approves your CS. These awards are knowledge and XP.
The idea of beings more important than people isn't one that sits well with Milo, and so, he has his issues with the worship of spirits and Immortals alike. If they do not offer protection even when they can, then they do not deserve more thought than he would spare someone who needs his attention. Still, Milo grew up surrounded by people who adored the Induk and spirits of Melrath, and, as much as he tries to pretend otherwise, this worship rubbed off on him somewhat.
Milo respects the spirits as creatures that are part of nature, and while he doesn't really offer them much of his time, he doesn't speak ill of them, nor purposefully does anything he knows will harm or impact them negatively. To him, they are very much part of the connected world he cherishes, and, if not for anything else, he cares for them because of that.
Unsurprisingly, due to his upbringing, Milo knows little about Immortals. While his grandmother tried to instill hatred for the Immortals in him, the endeavour was unsuccessful ― partly because Milo doesn't understand where all the despise comes from, partly because he enjoys contradicting his grandmother's traditionalism way too much to simply accept her religious teachings. While it's true that he spares even less thought towards the Immortals than he does towards spirits, Milo has a tentative curiosity about them, wondering how different they truly are.
