'''Jeremiah Slaczka''', also known as '''Miah''', is a character that appears in the short story ''[[User:GuyThatExists/Blank Slates 2|Blank Slates 2]]'', based on the Director of the same name. After the development of his two games completed, he adopted the disguise of [[User:GuyThatExists/Mr. Row|Mr. Row]] and lived in [[Belleview]]. During this time, he was kidnapped and impersonated by [[User:GuyThatExists/GenericChallenge|GenericChallenge]], and was eventually found by [[User:GuyThatExists/David Franco|David Franco]] and [[User:GuyThatExists/Alana/Stories|Alana]]. When he returned to the [[Developer's Grove]], [[User:GuyThatExists/Joseph Tringali|Joseph Tringali]] erased his memories of Miah, leaving only Mr. Row behind.
== {{Icon|Tower}} Appearance ==
Jeremiah Slaczka is a human that resembles Mike, sharing his clothing and hair style. However, his hair is brown and he has a goatee. In the Developer's Grove, he resembles a shark with a red headband.
=={{Icon|Book}} Story ==
Jeremiah Slaczka worked on both [[Drawn to Life]] and [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter]] from inside the [[Developer's Grove]], and when those two games were completed, he decided to act as a spy in [[Belleview]], taking on the role of [[User:GuyThatExists/Mr. Row|Mr. Row]]. He incorporated himself into [[Mike]]'s family, and established [[Uncle Owen]] as his brother. When the carnival decided to come to Belleview, Mr. Row was kidnapped by [[User:GuyThatExists/GenericChallenge|GenericChallenge]], who began to impersonate him, driving his family to the carnival and delivering the [[Raposa]] dolls to the [[User:GuyThatExists/Carnival Attendee|Carnival Attendee]].
After a few hours being trapped in his basement, Miah is eventually rescued by [[User:GuyThatExists/Shadow Mari|Shadow Mari]], [[User:GuyThatExists/Daniel James|Daniel James]], and [[User:GuyThatExists/Lyrica|Lyrica]], but he refuses to leave with them, as he doesn't recognize them. Shadow Mari erases their disguises, revealing [[User:GuyThatExists/David Franco|David Franco]] and [[User:GuyThatExists/Alana/Stories|Alana]], so Miah listens to their problems. He agrees to come back to the Grove, and the group leaves.
In the Grove, he creates the [[User:GuyThatExists/Stylus|Stylus]] and object with the powers of the [[User:GuyThatExists/Droogle Leader's Sword|Droogle Leader's Sword]], and he gives it to [[User:GuyThatExists/Joseph Tringali|Joseph Tringali]]. In return, Joe offers to erase Miah's memories to being a dev so he could live his final moments in peace. Miah reluctantly agrees, and his memories of Miah are erased, leaving only Mr. Row. After being sent to the carnival, Mr. Row drove his family home after it began to rain. However, due to his's reckless driving, he is unable to stop when he sees [[Deputy Snyder]]'s headlights, so he swerves into a ditch. This kills him and his wife, injures [[Heather]], and puts Mike into a coma. His funeral is held after Mike wakes up from his coma, but due to [[Aldark]]'s influence, his funeral is ruined by fighting.

{{Quote|text=Franco?! That was you this whole time? I’m sorry man!|character=Jeremiah Slaczka}}
{{Quote|text=Why would you guys need to get to the void? Oh, these two, right? Gotta break them back down into code?|character=Jeremiah Slaczka}}
{{Quote|text=Villages? Since when does the void have villages?|character=Jeremiah Slaczka}}
{{Quote|text=Alright. I understand. Take me to the Grove and I’ll see what I can do.|character=Jeremiah Slaczka}}
{{Quote|text=I figured something like this would happen, so I made a failsafe just in case the Droogles ever turned against us.|character=Jeremiah Slaczka}}
{{Quote|text=That well can lead to either Rapoville or Belleview. The sword takes you to the void. Now, if you write the name of any location of somebody, using this stylus of course, they will be sent to the spawn point in that location. It should even work for the void villages.|character=Jeremiah Slaczka}}
{{Quote|text=Good to see you too! Love what you’ve done with the place.|character=Jeremiah Slaczka}}
{{Quote|text=It all depends. After I jumped through the well, Owen sent Snyder to the carnival to let Mike’s family know that I’m dead right now, so it’s not like I can avoid it.|character=Jeremiah Slaczka}}
{{Quote|text=I wish I could think that far ahead! Truth is, I just saw me jump in and out of the well on that console when we walked through the game before launch. To be honest though, on a personal level, I’ve run through this scenario a thousand times. Once when we drafted, once when we wrote the game design document, once when we got the art, but it’s still scary to know that I have to swerve off that road.|character=Jeremiah Slaczka}}
{{Quote|text=We would walk them through the plot of the game, their role in it, and then we would… wipe their memories of the void. With that gun exactly. Joe, I can’t. I know I’m not a dev anymore, but I can’t just give up all these memories.|character=Jeremiah Slaczka}}
{{Quote|text=Thank you, Joe, really. And hey, if you ever need to see me again, I’m sure you can find a flower somewhere to save me.|character=Jeremiah Slaczka}}
