Personality:
Connor is best described as intelligent but lazy. Though he has the capability to do greater things, he's content living a more easy, stress free life. An introvert at heart, he prefers staying in and entertaining himself with games or reading fiction. In person, he tends to be quiet and keeps to himself. He can be grouchy when dragged out of the house, especially in the mornings.
Online however, he can be a menace. Connor's surprisingly bold and charismatic as a streamer, and also possesses a serious mischievous streak. He's fueled by the philosophy of "I'll do anything if it's funny enough" and often puts forth most of his best efforts into pranks, memes or goofy gameplay gimmicks. Much of his best work has been fueled by this never ending pursuit of comedy, and when asked why he doesn't use this energy elsewhere, he shrugs.
Powers:
Programming/Design
Connor has some knowledge of programming and coding with existing files and applications. This is supplemented with computer science courses from college. (He's forgotten most of what he's learned though and often has to cross reference things from online.)
Innate Magical Bloodline of the Ancient Crow
Through his mother, Connor is a member of the magical bird bloodline mentioned in Cardinal Blackmoore's profile. Members of this bloodline are able to use an ancient magic if they bear the name of a bird. Connor has this potential due to his true name being Conure, a type of parrot. As of now, this is still only potential; Connor is unaware that he can use this magic. At most, he might naturally get a strange, vague feeling about magical things, but could not pinpoint anything about it directly.
Weaknesses:
He's a normal human, and mostly a shut-in at that. He's not very athletic due to his sedentary lifestyle.
History:
Connor grew up with a normal upbringing. "Eat your vegetables, be nice to your sister, finish your homework and you can watch TV." As the first child, his parents were a little bit more disciplined with him, but it was nothing unreasonable. Perhaps their only mistake was forbidding video games; what better way to make something more desirable than to be told one can't have it? It didn't stop Connor from spending afternoons at the arcade under the pretense of studying with a friend. (And it wasn't a lie if they did study and then went somewhere afterwards, right?) So long as it didn't drastically interfere with his life like his parents believed it would, everything would be fine. Little would he realize just how much it would become part of his life.
Over the years, his parents eventually lifted the ban, and Connor dove headfirst into his hobby. He'd always been smart but lazy, and that became evident when his parents realized just how hard he would work to be able to buy a new game for himself. They were a little concerned that he didn't seem to apply himself as much to other things as he did for video games, but so long as he stayed out of trouble and did well in school, they learned to accept it.
Connor's since graduated college, but rather than joining the workforce, he's managed to make his living as a variety game streamer. He's built up a small audience for himself and is content being able to live off of his hobby. Sure, he might be living in his parents' basement, but with enough subs and donations, maybe one day he'll be able to get a place of his own...
Anything else:
- He avoids swearing in general, but especially refuses to do so on streams because he's afraid one of his parents will hear him. (This doesn't necessarily mean he's a family friendly streamer, however)
- While a bit of a prankster, most of his jokes done to others are usually harmless or done in dumb fun. He doesn't like to be malicious.
- He has a pet green tree frog named Hops. It's inadvertently been memed into the mascot of his channel. Sometimes he has a live feed of Hops in the corner of his stream.
- Though technically unemployed, he makes money off of streaming and game mods.
- He's not very good at graphic design and often leans into "crappy MS Paint aesthetic" for humor.
- Somewhere in an alternate timeline his name is Conure "Connor" O'Connor. think about it
