PERSONALITY

His personality is simply a country boy. He is not overly intelligent, but he isn't stupid either. He can easily connect certain ideas, but for somethings that are much more complex he takes a much longer time to connect. He enjoys simple things in life, such as booze, women, cars, and music. He doesn't understand technology and even gets angry at the idea of using technology or when it doesn't work like it should. He sees no point in some of the technologies that are in the world. He also feels there more value in traditions than modernizing covens.

Since his big strength is his talent to bullshit, he can easily bend what is true and what is false, so the person who truly knows him will know he's not honest or will know when he's truly honest. He does like to go on with stories of folklore from his people or just make tales up as he goes along, or when he runs out of ideas, since there isn't much too do when back at the coven.

His coven is not known for involving themselves in many vampiric issues and usually appear neutral in anything they do, so it's that nature that Connor tries and stay out of trouble. He especially hates damsels in distress because he truly doesn't want to get involved in anything except for his duties.

He is only going by notes given to him by his leader from back home, but from what he can tell, he is afraid of the Drakken, he hates the Aranai, he hopes he doesn't kiss a Valen, and he hopes the Teryn aren't boring. It's only speculation, of course.

EXPLAIN YOURSELF: For one, if you don’t know who this is, then there’s something wrong with you, especially you Taylor. Well, if you don’t then, lemme introduce myself. I am Gracie. Well, I know most of the people here. I really thought about it and decided I want to get back into roleplaying and I might as well do it with ya’ll, so yeah. You need men. Seriously. I can play a decent male. I am a sucker for Queens of the Stone Age and have a huge crush on Josh Homme, or at least his voice. Anyway, this song is what got me to make this character:
