"You ahn't my fuckin' friend, kid. Get that through your head."
Connor can quite literally be described as what you'd imagine a Bostonian to be. He's loud, proud, and likes to show off and talk about not only himself but his equally as awesome kids. While he's not as good looking as he was in his prime, he's still rather strong, and has a good heart being a father. Even if his stomach jiggles when you pat it now.
General Info
Connor is the epitome of a Boston dad, in terms of personality, at least. While he might look like someone that would probably rather go for an alcohol bottle than care for his kids, he's very much what many, his kids included, would consider a super dad. His kids are the most important people in his life, and he'd do anything to help or protect them. However, aside from that, he's a pretty big mess. A rough divorce left what was once a jolly, upbeat man into an angry, perturbed shell of himself. The man he used to be sometimes shines through, but in general, he's a lot more bitter and distrustful, keeping to himself and his family, unless he has alcohol in his system.
General BackstoryConnor, from a young age, was a sports prodigy. Any sport he tried out, he was able to pick up with ease and do really well at it. However, what he was most known for was his skill in Candlepin Bowling. What was once a hobby he did with his dad became a field he managed to mind-blowingly perfect, scoring the first ever perfect game in the history of the sport. A lot of his life would be spent riding the success of that wave of his perfect game, leaving him to not need to work for a good portion of his life, despite the very small audience of the sport.
As an adult, he met a professional figure skater named Mizuki, who he would soon marry and have kids with as a young adult. The relationship was kept private, but from the fact that they filed for divorce many years later and would never be on speaking terms again would suggest, it wasn't a particularly healthy relationship. Connor used to be a buff, sporty dad, but ever since the divorce, feelings and betrayal piled up in his head, and he let himself change a lot not just physically, but mentally as well. The one thing he can be proud of is that he got full custody over the kids they shared when he presented evidence of his ex-wife being neglectful, with the only other news from him since then being that he's started jobs coaching kids, he's suddenly come out as a gay man, and that he hasn't accomplished anything of note in bowling or sports in general since the divorce.
Misc. Info
Connor's parents are both Irish immigrants, and he is the youngest kid out of five.
Connor's kids are half Irish, half Japanese. One daughter, named Fiona, and one son, named Dermot.
Connor discovered his sexuality when he accidentally walked into a gay bar. And liked it.
Usage Info
Celestial Despair is a Danganronpa roleplay and is the first and only game Connor's seen action in. He experienced many chapters full of suffering emotionally, gaining and losing trust and watching the people he cares about either die off or backstab him. Just at the very start, his roommate and friend Gryff Gabheart tragically lost his life protecting somebody else, and more and more things would domino into rough territory for Connor. He has a young friend named Anda who contrasted his attitude perfectly and he sought to protect her in Gryff's wake, until she swore off the entire group and left Connor in the mud. The man he walked into the game knowing from school, building a friendship in the game with, also being his first male crush from his memory, then goes behind everyone's back and kills someone else in a desperate frenzy. Before things could ever get better for him, however, the game was unceremoniously cancelled due to the mods having trouble keeping up with the project. Whether or not he'll get another shot at a game is up in the air.
Design
Connor is 5'10, with a chunky but buff frame. He has the bulk of a dad bod with the strength of a CrossFit coach. Maybe not the stamina of one, though.
He's not been the most keen on keeping his appearance clean and tidy, not having cut his hair at all since the divorce, and getting really lazy with shaving. His face is always pretty stubbly and his hair is fairly long, thick, and unkempt, mostly.
He has a couple of ear piercings, and an eyebrow piercing. All were done during his midlife crisis to seem more cool. He sports a healthy, hairy bod as a result of no longer manscaping because he can no longer be bothered now that he's got no wife anymore. The men don't seem to mind, at least.
