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. He doesn't worry too much about what he's wearing; usually jeans and a well fitted tshirt, though he does have a few suits and an excellent tie collection, if you can coax him into wearing them. The only aspect of his appearance he spends any time on - aside from his physique - is his hair; it takes a lot of work to make it look like he doesn't put any effort into it.[/indent] [hr][center] [img]http://37.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzxb0yADif1r7u6cro1_500.gif[/img] [i]"I just want to make gains and play 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. Connor can be completely oblivious to other people's personal space with a tendency to initiate unsolicited physical contact. 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][*]Swimming [*]Rugby [*]Fitness [*]Fine biddies [*]Getting swole [*]Video games [*]Vidya games [*]Dat gaming life tho [*]Doges [*]Football [/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.

Otherwise, in the immortal words of Kendrick Lamar; bitch don’t kill my vibe. Very smashable tho."[/i] Connor likes people who are honest or blunt, but Brooke’s constant negativity really wears him out, so he doesn’t spend much time around her. Their rather distant relationship hasn’t kept him from developing a nickname for her though. [center][u][b]Laney Chandler[/b][/u][/center] [i]”LAHNAY! I swear to jeebus she’s right out of Age of Innocence, she even looks like Michelle Pfieffer, who by the way remains the hottest Catwoman, Anne Hathaway don’t got SHIT. She’s good times.”[/i] Calling her either lah-nay, Michelle Pfieffer, or Catwoman, Connor and Laney have a very pleasant - though somewhat superficial - relationship. She’s nice and honest, qualities Connor appreciates. If there’s more to her, Connor either hasn’t noticed or doesn’t care. [center][u][b] Henry Polwith [/b][/u][/center] [i]”Hal 9000: Aesthetic. Doges. Swamming. History. Reading is radical. We’ve got some serious hivemind going on, I’d swing at fools in a second for him.”[/i] Probably Connor's closest friend at Ashbury, Connor and Hal spend a lot of time around eachother. At the gym, in the pool, talking sports, out for hikes, or pestering someone to help them with math homework, Connor cherishes Hal's company. The two of them spend a lot of time thinking of ways they could illicitly keep a in the dorms... [center][u][b] Maie-Marie Malveaux[/b][/u][/center] [i]“M&M aka M&M&M aka Cardio Bunny appreciates fitness and thusly I appreciate the shit out of her. She got no time for fools, all the time for friends, and I will dunk on haters who talk shit about her I GORANTEE IT. Plus she’s got unlimited amounts of Jam! Turbo aka water of life.”[/i] Connor and Marie are at their best when doing something physical and high energy together, but putting them in the same class is a guaranteed disaster, something the school's administration was quick to notice. Their exuberant personalities bounce off eachother in something reminiscent of a nuclear fission reaction; a party with the two of them in the same room is destined to get too wild, especially if they're downing Jam! drinks (which they constantly are). [center][u][b]Spencer Dalle[/b][/u][/center] [i]”That kid’s sneaky like snakes. Shits on everyone who’s nice to him, thinks he’s better than everyone else, grade A douchecanoe. Not tight butthole, not tight at all.”[/i] Connor doesn’t go out of his way to be hostile to Spencer, but he makes no secret of his feelings. The two do not get along at all. [center][u][b]Korrigan Jackson[/b][/u][/center] [i]”Korrigan Hackson, member of the PCMasterRace, giver of zero fucks, master of CS:GO. May K/D ratio be high and your lag low, amen”[/i] Connor and Korrie spend a lot of time gaming together online, but almost no time together in real life. Connor tends to tease Korrie about his hair alot; he thinks he’s doing it in a friendly way, but is perhaps a little blind to Korrie’s feelings about it. [center][u][b]Amanda Hirano[/b][/u][/center] [i]”One quiet biddy, don’t really know her too well. She’s tiny, but very fine, would tenderly romance/10, anything else would split her in half amirite?”[/i] A hurricane doesn’t bear any ill will towards a beach house. The hurricane might even like the beach house. That doesn’t change the fact that the hurricane will likely flatten the beach house. Connor’s loud, exuberant personality is completely at odds with Amanda’s quieter demeanor, making any kind of friendship all but impossible. [center][u][b]Nathan Matthews[/b][/u][/center] [i]”Nate’s great. Great gym buddy. Great friend. He’s good to people, you know? I don’t have a nickname for him, nothing really hit me when I met him and, much like buttex, you can’t force it. He needs to relax more tho.[/i] Both extroverted, amiable people, Nate and Connor quickly became friends. They can regularly be found at the gym together, and when Connor does get around to studying - so not very often - he does so with Nate. Connor often pesters Nate to come to parties with him, and his apparent disregard for his academics can be a source of friction between the two of them. [center][u][b]Brenden Rivers[/b][/u][/center] [i]"Man he's pretty, no homo. Too bad he's a twofaced dickwad. Ain't got no time for people who smile at their friends then drop a deuce right in their face. I'm outty 5000."[/i] Connor thinks Brenden is duplicitous and mean, traits he has exactly zero tolerance for. He avoids Brenden as much as possible. [center][u][b]Emilie Delacour[/b][/u][/center] [i]"OH LAWDY, would smash with the fury of a thousand burning suns/10. The other day she spilled a glass of water on her shirt and I nearly fainted from blood loss, if you know what I mean."[/i] Friendly but not close, Connor tends to flirt outrageously with Emilie. Both of them are high energy and fun loving; it's not a party until the two of them are there. [center][u][b]Erin Emerson[/b][/u][/center] [i]"Remerson's pretty chill, she's got balls of steel though and she likes football, so dats cool. Pretty high strung though, she needs to go on a vision quest."[/i] Connor thinks of Riley as "one of the guys", though they don't spend all that much time together. His inappropriate sense of humour sometimes causes conflict between the two of them. [center][b][u]Aspen Hancock[/u][/b][/center] [i]"#Aesthetic. We ride together we die together we dunk on fools together, bro squad 4 loife." [/i] Initially drawn together by Hal and the swim team, Connor and Aspen have become good friends in their own right. Aspen definitely falls into Connor's preferred category of genuinely nice people. Aspen's easygoing nature makes him well suited to taking Connor's exuberance in stride. [/hider] [hider=Q&A] [u]1.
