Movie(s) your character is in: Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), Atlantis: Milo's Return (2003)
Character's Personality: Milo James Thatch is a linguist, who works at the Smithsonian Institute in 1914 Washington - the only problem is, he was hired by the Smithsonian to work the boilers. Milo is a focused and determined man, who seemingly devotes much of his time to his work. His interest in particular, was finding the lost city of Atlantis - something nobody else would believe him on. Milo was determined to prove them wrong, and was willing to do anything to prove its existence. Milo takes an interest in discovering things. He is a friendly type, though a bit awkward - and always does the thing that is morally right, no matter what the circumstances.
Character's History: Milo's parents died when he was very young, so he was raised by his grandfather, Thaddeus Thatch. It is presumed that Milo's interest for Atlantis comes from that of his grandfather, who also shared an intense interest for the lost city. Milo grew up to be a linguist, studying dead languages - such as Atlantean. He was hired by the Smithsonian Institute, but only to mind the boilers - hindering his dream.
After an unsuccessful attempt to withdraw from his job, he met Preston B. Whitmore, a friend of his grandfathers'. Whitmore handed to Milo, The Shepherd's Journal - the key to finding Atlantis - and told Milo that he was funding a journey to find Atlantis, a result of a bet with Milo's grandfather.
Milo expected to find underwater ruins - but he found a thriving, living city. He also met the exotic Atlantean Princess Kidagakash, also known as simply, Kida. While she lead him through the city, he fell in love with her - never mind the fact that she was over 1000 years old. After saving the crystal, or Heart of Atlantis, from being misused by Commander Rourke - and saving the people of Atlantis - Milo made the decision to stay in the city with Kida, and eventually becoming King.
Characters Likes: Studying, Exploring, Kida : )
Character's Dislikes: Boilers, Anybody who won't believe him.
Roleplay
Task: You have just arrived at Walt Disney World. Your character has just been brought to the Happiest Place On Earth, but what happens then? What do you do first? What park are you going to go to? Write a 3-5 paragraph RP using our rules into effect.
"Aah!" Milo Thatch exclaimed, as his large glasses fell onto the ground. He couldn't see at all without them - the world would just be a blur. He got down on his knees and frantically searched the ground, until his hands felt the glass of the lenses. He pushed them back on, and got up.
He looked around at this odd and interesting new place. This definitely wasn't Atlantis - or Washington either. There must be so many places to explore around here! he thought, suddenly feeling giddy and excited at the thought. He didn't know where to start, thinking of all the things he could find in this one small area he stood in.
I should have gotten one of those maps at the entrance, he thought. With that, he turned around and headed back to the giant castle. "You sure don't get those in Atlantis," he muttered. In the shade of the castle, Milo adjusted his eyes to the change in light. Picking up one of the voucher-type objects, he folded it out into a map, and studied it. So many different places to go. One in particular stood out to him - Tomorrowland. "That's the place for me," Milo said, and set off to find it.
How did you find us? Well, I play Jane and have been on this site for a few weeks - but I found you while poking around the IMDB forums for Tarzan.
Do you like the site so far? Love it!
Anything you need us to know or any questions? I also play Jane Porter - I think I've made that clear : )
I chose Milo because I think he and Jane are quite similar - exploring new places, and staying there for love. I'd love to get them introduced in the RP.
