He's lean and has a slim stature. His skin is naturally tan and is unblemished save for the few beauty marks and scars. He's got curly dark-brown hair that he combs down with his fingers every so often. Connie has an oval face with defined cheekbones, a slightly pointed chin, and a sturdy jaw line. His lips are full and with a cupids bow. His eyes are a rounded almond shape that are emphasized by his double eye-lids. [color=#26a912]Personality:[/color] Easy-going and relaxed, Connie is both sociable and amiable. He's confident in his own abilities and doesn't shy away from showing off. He is 'motherly' in a way that he constantly worries about other people and not himself. He'll always be willing to lend an ear or a hug to comfort someone. However, Connie can come off as stubborn and invasive at times. He sticks his nose into everything and doesn't know when to stop until someone tells him to. He's definitely a realist. He doesn't believe in things until he experiences it. Connie knows that there are no monsters lurking in the shadows, but who knows? He's rather curious about the whole supernatural so that's why he joined S.P.I.R.I.T. [color=#26a912]Backstory:[/color] Connie is an orphan. He was put up for adoption when he was born and since then has juggled around foster homes. He was a pretty quiet and sullen kid. After all, he thought no one loved him. Long story short, most of the households he lived in were abusive, both verbally and physically. He still bears many mental and physical scars from those horrendous memories but Connie doesn't let it get to him. (Well, he tries.) When he turned 10, he landed in a kind elderly couples home. The old couple has lost their only child to a car accident a few years back who was, funnily enough, named Conner. While the couple were slowly growing senile, they still raised Connie (or in their minds, they were re-living their times with Conner again) with love and compassion. Connie was aware that he was being used as a substitute for their dead son. However, he dealt with it and chose to love them just as much. His adoptive parents died just a mere days before he turned sixteen. However, Connie had a stroke of luck and was immediately adopted by a single mother who had also lost her son from an accident. It's funny because those adults were supposed to care for Connie, but it ended up the other way around. [color=#26a912]Skills and Strengths:[/color] - Amazing at art, especially sculpting. - He's rather tolerant of...unsavory characters. Anyways, Connie is a good friend. - Connie is a smarty-pants. He's got a high GPA and is always willing to help someone out. - Has a crazy high pain-tolerance. - He forgives people without holding any future grudges. [color=#26a912]Flaws and Weaknesses:[/color] - Can't tell a lie. He's also terrible at trying to make up excuses so he tends to awkwardly run away. - Doesn't know how to refuse someone. - Terrible at cooking. He will burn everything, even fried eggs. - He's so thick-headed at times that Chase can say some insensitive things to others. - Too focused on other people. [color=#26a912]Quirks:[/color] - Writes in cursive because print is too mainstream. - When stressed, he'll take of his glasses and chew on 'em.
