Setting

⇀ Up Until Now

The US saw a shift in its democracy and justice system around 2030. People around the country were being arrested on unknown accounts and weren't to be seen again. Deputies assured that prisoners were safe and were going to be given a fair trial but none ever occurred. Resistance groups were quickly put down and civil rights slowly stripped.

In late 2031, the symptoms of a new disease showed itself.  The iris's in people's eyes began to fade and blend into the sclera, many reported hallucinations and being unable to control impulses. Conspiracies floated around that the government had created this virus to weaken the American people and their ability to resist the government.

In 2032, elections were held for a new President of the United States. A compassionate leader vowing to solve America's corrupt government was elected into office with such popularity that all the candidate needed to do was stay alive to get elected. The new President worked hard to fix the state of the government but as the weeks went by, their eagerness was fading. They seemed to be less ambitious to pass laws fixing the rights stripped from citizens during the previous years. They seemed to interact with the press and the people less, and whenever they were seen, they seemed dazed. The vivid confidence that had once lit their eyes had faded. The bills given to them for the people's rights were getting vetoed now. The people were confused and devastated that their president, who so compassionately vowed to help the American people, was now turning against them. Nobody in the government seemed to be interested in helping the people.

Resistance built up but was always violently put down and discouraged. Anyone suspected of being in a resistance group was arrested suddenly and disappeared without a trace. The disease became more widespread. Any research devoted to the disease was defunded immediately, which raised suspicion among the people. Symptoms seemed to be getting worse, seeming almost rabies-like. The disease had eaten away at some people's irises entirely, leaving an empty white eye left. They seemed out of it entirely, compliant to any command given to them, no matter how violent or self-detrimental. ~

.

Connor is fairly short, standing at about 5'5". He has sickly pale skin with light freckles dotting his face and shoulders. He has hazel eyes that look green with brown around the pupils. He has scars on his body and notably seen on his neck. He always wears a light blue scarf for comfort and to cover the scars on his neck.

⇀ Important Notes

History tw: Abuse

⇀ Background

Connor and his mother were brutally abused by his father. His father drank often and it made him incredibly violent so he lashed out on Connor and his mother. His father did anything to keep him and his mother dependent on him so they couldn't leave. Connor was poorly homeschooled and never saw anyone his age except for his cousin, Muriel. Connor was too scared to speak about the things that were happening in his life but Muriel suspected what was going on. He rarely left the house. Eventually, he and his mother managed to escape and left the state but had to live from shelter to shelter while his mother took on different jobs. They were very poor and couldn't afford very much. His mom was one day able to get a restraining order on his dad. There was a series of bad boyfriends his mom had that provided for them for a short period.

⇀ Family

Connor's entire family is a mess. His grandparents were often neglectful of his father and uncle. While his uncle strived to become a better person and succeed, his father acted out and became a very angry drunk. He hung out with a bad crowd of people that would pick on others and vandalize property. His much younger and more impressionable mother was attracted to the "bad-boy" type but never expected the behavior to be abusive. Even after being beaten, she thought that he still loved her and that she deserved it. His mom got pregnant with him by accident which resulted in a shotgun wedding. His father neglected him early in life and punished his mother. His dad's anger eventually turned on Connor who started sharing his mother's punishment. He was envious of his cousin's life, which was far from perfect. His aunt was cheating on his uncle but the damage was much less than what he was going through.

Relationships

Alex [ Role Model ]
Alex has a lot of sympathy for Connor. He knows what he's gone through and relates to having to deal with trauma in his life. Alex wants to build Connor's self-esteem up and takes any chance he can get to praise Connor. Alex takes the time to compliment Connor on little things that nobody else seems to notice. In response, Connor idolizes Alex. Connor is already incredibly jealous of Alex as it is. He thinks Alex is everything he isn't; sociable, courageous, strong, likable, intelligent, etc. Alex notices Connor's admiration of him and tries to be a good example for him.
Olivia [ Friends ]
Connor admires Olivia's art and how fun she is. He just doesn't like how loud Olivia tends to be. Olivia wants to get past Connor's defensive and anxiety and become his friend but Connor refused to allow her.
Anna [ Friends ]
Anna and Connor aren't very close. They occasionally enjoy each others presence in silence or Anna will give Connor little advice and encouragement but not much else. Connor admires her and her relationship with Alex. He wishes he could be as intelligentand honest as her.
Brook [ Crushing/Dating ]
Brook has a lot of sympathy for Connor. She wouldn't yell at him because she knows he's obviously got a deeply rooted fear of it and something terrible must have happened to him. She began talking to him more frequently to understand him, and finding out about his past made her feel more and more sorry for him. Through their bonding, she began to develop feelings for him. When Connor would confront her about her yelling, she toned it down to just scolding (except when Connor isn't there).
Buddy [ Aquaintances ]
Buddy and Connor don't associate much. Connor knows about his research and admires how big and intimidating he is. Buddy isn't actually intimidating, just a big ol' teddy bear. Connor also likes how intelligent he is.
