He has dirty blonde hair that gets darker in the winter, and he likes to keep it short. He’s spent a lot of time working on his body and is proud of the results, maybe a little too proud. His eyes are blue-gray, though they look a little different depending on what he’s wearing.[/indent] [hr][center] [img]http://37.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzxb0yADif1r7u6cro1_500.gif[/img] [i]"I just want to make gains and pay games"[/i][/center] [hr] [color=00a651][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color] [indent]It’s hard being a diplomat’s kid, but Connor has adapted well to the lifestyle. Moving around so much meant he got to be very good at making new friends, though not so great at keeping them. He’s very social and a little on the loud side; some would call him boisterous or unruly, but a few minutes in his company will show that he’s a very kindhearted person. Some might dismiss him as a brainless jock or an arrogant bro, but they would be wrong. Connor doesn’t exactly crave attention, but he certainly doesn’t mind it and his antics tend to draw plenty of attention. He’s not exactly the class clown, but he has a very exagerated public persona. His speech is laden with little jokes and references and a lot of random and seemingly nonsensical slang, though he adopts a more serious tone in classes or in personal settings. He easily makes friends across all social levels, and has a tendency to assign people arbitrary nicknames. Connor has little patience for pretentious or arrogant people, and even less patience for bullies. He has a tendency to be blunt, which can get him in trouble sometimes. While he is an honest and loyal guy, Connor has trouble forming close, lasting relationships. Connor is also fairly vain and maybe a little more self-centered than he thinks. Connor is not very good with numbers, and he likes to party a little too much. Those factors combined caused him to fail a year earlier in his highschool career. Connor also struggles with properly expressing his emotions. Connor’s most visible flaw is that he’s inconsiderate. He doesn’t think much about how his actions or words might affect other people, and assumes that if he’s fine with something, others should be as well. He unfortunately doesn’t know where to draw the line; for Connor, there is no such thing as “too soon”. This has caused no small amount of problems for him over the years.[/indent] [color=00a651][b][u]Likes[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Football [*]Rugby [*]Fitness [*]Fine biddies [*]Getting swole [*]Video games [*]Vidya games [*]Dat gaming life tho [*]Doges [*]Swimming [/list][/indent] [color=00a651][b][u]Dislikes[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Dickwads [*]Fakers [*]Ferrets [*]Spicy food [*]Judgy people [*]Math [/list][/indent] [color=00a651][b][u]Fears[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Sharks, squid, lobsters, whales; the ocean in general.[/indent] [hr] [center][img]http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdtpmmmamP1rtx7h0o1_400.gif[/img] [i]"GET OUT THE WAY SLOOTS!"[/i][/center] [hr] [color=00a651][b][u]Strengths[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Charismatic [*]Friendly [*]Loyal [/list][/indent] [color=00a651][b][u]Weaknesses[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Difficulty taking things seriously [*]Parental issues [*]Indelicate [/list][/indent] [color=00a651][b][u]History[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Connor’s father, David MacQuarrie, grew up on a small farm in Idaho. David’s parents were desperately poor, but they did their best to give David an education. David went to a local agricultural college, planning to take over the farm from his father, but his parents were both killed in a car accident less than a year after he graduated. David knew they’d always wanted the best for him, so he sold the farm and against all odds, got into Cornell, where he first studied life sciences before completing an MBA. David began working in Washington as a political aide, then joined the foreign service. It was on his first posting to Ottawa that he met Connor’s mother, Victoria Molson Victoria’s childhood was the complete opposite of David’s. As a Molson, she was born into Montreal’s most elite social circle and grew up phenomenally wealthy. She attended all the best schools, and was presumably going to marry some rich peer of hers amongst Montreal’s elite. She was working in Ottawa as a political staffer-to secure connections and influence, not because she needed work-when she met David at a reception at the American embassy. The two fell in love and eventually got married, and Victoria left her native Canada to travel the world with David. Naturally, she still has access to all her wealth. Connor is a hybrid of his two parent’s worlds, which can be difficult. When Connor was growing up, his father tried to impress on him the value of money and hard work, but his family’s wealth deprived Connor of any real understanding of the concept. Even when David became an ambassador, he still scrimped and saved, and prefered doing work around the house himself. On the other hand, Victoria believed in the importance of social class and paying for quality service. Every summer she’d take a charter jet back to Canada with her son and spend the summer at her family’s lakeside estate, while Connor’s dad would fly economy class to join them for a few weeks. The “cottage” was a permanent fixture of Connor’s childhood, and he retains good memories and close friendships from his time up there. His father was always insisting Connor get a job as soon as possible, while mom thought it would ruin their image if he were to ever set foot in a fast food joint. The result is that Connor is very conflicted about his background; he’s aware of his status and the importance of maintaining that appearance, but he also feels guilty for having an easy life. He knows he’s supposed to appreciate the value of money and hard work, but he has no concept of what real hard work is. Connor’s father was recently appointed Ambassador to Spain, and while Connor usually went with his parents on postings, they decided his grandfather’s suggestion of Ashbury would give Connor some much needed stability.[/indent] [color=00a651][b][u]What corporation sent you to Ashbury?[/u][/b][/color] [indent]The Molson brewing company, the parent company of a dozen beer brands around the world. Connor’s grandfather, the current chair of the board, likes to keep the company in the family, and arranged to send Connor to Ashbury so he can eventually join his uncle and cousin in running the company.
