Miles Upshur trivia/facts I could find bc i'm slowly losing control of my life
and I also couldn't find a post that compiled everything about him, sooo.... (be aware, I might be missing some info still!)
Uses “Manhandler Hair Spray for the Active Man”
Apparently likes drinking wine while taking a warm bubble bath
Jogs in the mornings sometimes
Likes dogs/is good with dogs
His entire name is a reference to the term "miles up shore without a paddle", meaning that he is in too deep to return.
Lives alone/is single (has no close friends/family??? Maybe??? idk, he fucking left his house and the state for at least a week and nobody checked up on him,,,)
“Miles is missing some fingers so he’s pretty self-conscious of his hands.” (https://x.com/TheRedBarrels/status/1028506712062550016)
“[…] Blake is a bit more tech savvy than Miles” (https://x.com/TheRedBarrels/status/836227298026270720)
“Miles is a lover, not a fighter[…]” (https://x.com/TheRedBarrels/status/992065427953070080)
"Miles is the kind of guy to get fussed about the difference between 'carport' and 'garage' and 'eclair' and 'boston creme'. This is the only insight we got into his personality from their charity stream 5 years ago because JT Perry couldn't talk more about him: Miles and Waylon were firmly off limits." https://www.tumblr.com/luvisia/686199308013486080/november-of-2020-red-barrels-did-a-charity-stream
Schrödinger’s fuckhead: he’s either alive, dead, a nanobot ghost or a community of ants until Red Barrels says otherwise. Which, they have, but it's still up in the air whether he's alive or not after he had a nuke dropped on him. His vacation home is in limbo and current status is unknown.
His age is stated to be early to mid-thirties (the source for this is a tweet that has since been deleted)
He drives a red Jeep Wrangler YJ 1987, and his license plate number is B-67294, a HTML code for a hexadecimal color
He used to be around 190 cm tall, but now has an approximate in-game height of 186 cm (these are measurements given by Autodesk Maya, not an official source)
While his model has an invisible head, it is sort of unclear if that is truly how he's meant to look like since he shares head with both Waylon and Blake. It's most likely a placeholder, but probably meant to be the closest thing to a canon appearance. Red Barrels claims his actual appearance is a secret.
When asked about Miles having a more detailed/confirmed background such as his family, personality, etc., Red Barrels answered: "Miles will always remain the mysterious protagonist ;)" (orz) https://x.com/TheRedBarrels/status/692096107804037121?s=20
Red Barrels has said that Miles is aware of the fact he is being possessed by the Walrider, but is "unable to fully control his new host". https://x.com/TheRedBarrels/status/600697564355293184?s=20
Very important: if you look close enough, you can see he has chest hair (!!!)
People have messaged his email before, and according to it (whether it’s an official source or not):
He likes queso fresco (his favorite cheese, actually)
His jacket was a gift from an ex-girlfriend [“That sweater was seven years old, the gift of an ex-girlfriend. I have no idea the brand. You can probably find the sweater on the floor where I left it, if you don't mind bullet holes and blood.”]
He’s 37 years old. Also, his birthday is October 20th.
