PERSONALITY
Connor is the type of person who knows everything about everyone, but doesn't really say anything about it, that is unless he can get something from it. He is a very quiet person and easily blends into large groups and crowds which allows him to easily find out things about people, something that he discovered early. He also likes the fact that he's able to blend in well because it allows him to get amazing shots at times, as people are his favorite subject usually. He was just drawn to people, even though he doesn't really do much to actually interact with them. He just sits on the sidelines and watches. For some reason to him it seems much more interesting to just be watching it then actually be in it, which is probably why he loves photography so much. It allows him to capture little pieces of things which helps him to feel like he's part of something, even when he isn't.
Besides his lack of people skills he does pretty well in most areas. He isn't exactly the brightest crayon in the box but he isn't the dullest either. He excells in very few things without actually having to try though, so most of the time he has to put in a bit of hard work to get any good results. However he is a person very easily distracted, so that usually doesn't happen, due to the fact that he is busy allowing other things to capture his attention. On the rare occassion that he isn't preocuppied he can actually get things done and do them properly. His tendancy to get distracted is something that he allows to happen because it's an excuse not to work. Which is something he looks for all the time, as he's interested in taking the easy way out of any situation he lands himself into no matter what happens because of it. If it's a shortcut that's able to be taken then he'll take it without thinking about the consequnces of his actions.
He isn't a picky person and therefore ends up liking most everything, and keeps an open mind about things such as food and entertainment. Though he does have certain prefrances toward fast food, actions movies, and Indie music he doesn't let those dominate what he exposes himself to. Once he finds out that he doesn't like something however, he usually doesn't give it a second chance. Things such as romantic movies, country music, and susi happen to fall into that catergory. When it comes to people he has a few pet peeves with them, esspecially with people who let themselves be walked all over and people that think that they know everything.
APPEARANCE
Connor is built in an athletic way, having a very tall and muscular figure. He stands at 6', and weighs around 170 lbs. He has semi-long brown hair with blonde highlights in it, which is almost always covering his eyes, as he really doesn't like his light blue eyes (even though it seems that plenty of other people do) when he doesn't wear it over his eyes he makes sure that it is covering at least one part of his face. Although his hair is always a bit messy it's never out of hand, nor is it ever slicked back or styled in any fancy ways. He perfers to just keep things simple and in a proper order - to him at least. He is often seen smiling showing off his very white, straight teeth - which were the result of a few years of braces - and dimples on each of his cheeks.
He is usually seen sporting worn out blue jeans - he doesn't have a pair that actually look new, even if they are - and a button up shirt. He's usually seen in brighter colors because he likes them more, but it is rare to see him in a t-shirt as he hates them. Another rare sight is to find him not well put together, in the way that he sees as well put together anyway. He takes a great deal of pride in his apperance and always makes sure that he looks well at the very least. He wears a pair of tennis shoes almost everywhere, unless he can't get away with it for some odd reason. He likes a good blend of looking good and feeling good when he gets dressed in the morning.
HISTORY
On June 10th, 1991 Scott and Martha Micklesen were blessed with their first and only son, whom they'd been trying to have for several years. Connor was born and raised in the very small town of Grantsville, Maryland. Both of his parents were born there as well, and lived their whole lives there. His mother was a third grade teacher at the local elementary school and his father worked at the bank, each of them were very happy with how things were and the life that they lived. They weren't exactly well off, but they weren't struggling either. They sat at a happy middle class level, able to afford the things that they wanted.
Connor first got into photography at the age of five when he got his first camera from his grandparents. He went through a few rolls of film within a week or so. His parents encouraged his new found hobby and put him into a few different photography classes, all of which he loved very much. He took pictures of anything and everything but people were the things that he loved taking pictures of most. He worked to improve more with each class he took, and his life soon fell into a simple routine of photography and school. Though the latter was usually put off for as long as possible, the former taking more priority over it.
When he was around ten years old his life managed to change drastically. By some luck his parents managed to win the Maryland State Lottery. Although he was thrilled at the fact that he got better equipment for which to take his pictures, it placed a strain on the family. They moved out of Grantsville and into a bigger town where things between his parents got to an all time high stress level. A year later his parents would divorce each other, and have him sent back and forth between the two of them so that each of them could spend time with him. The next biggest change would come for him three years later when he realized that he was attracted to boys as well as girls. He was too scared to tell his parents and still hasn't managed to tell them. The one time he actually managed to gather up the guts to tell them was the day that they informed him that they would be sending him to Garden Parks', and after that he just couldn't manage to find his voice again.
His marks at Gordon Parks' have been usually around C's, except for photography which he usually does quite well in, which has always been fine with him. His parents also are quite pleased that he just passed as they've always been aware of his tendency to take the easy way out.
