Original Character Back Story:
Conner doesn't like to talk about his parents much. At least not with other people. On the outside, they appear to be Mr. and Mrs. Normal parent. His mother writes novels of the science fiction persuasion and his Father writes books of the Fantasy persuasion. They even sometimes collaborate on the occasional genre crossing novel. The part that he leaves out whenever asked about them is that they actually believe in the supernatural world. They believe in zombies, ghosts, vampires, werewolves and all that. Conner, does not.
He has lived with his parents in London since he was born and due to recent events, his family has been moved to Beacon Hills, California. They say its research for a new book, but he thinks they've heard rumors of strange goings on in the town. But he hopes it really is for research. Due to their success as writers, his family is pretty well off, but he wouldn't consider them rich by a long shot.
He had been quite upset when he was first told about the move to America, especially since he only had a week to prepare for the move. The night he had been told, he left the house, angry at his parents for ripping him away from all his friends and everything he has ever known. He had only a week to say goodbye. He doesn't really remember much of that night. Mostly pain and growling. He woke the next morning slumped against a tree with a ripped shirt and a big lump on his head. He didn't know where he was or how he had gotten there, only that his head hurt.
His parents took it as a sign of rebellion when they picked him up at the hospital the next day. He knew enough to not mention that he remembered hearing growling. He assumed he had been attacked by some large animal and was knocked out, but he knew they would instantly think werewolf attack. He had tossed the torn and bloody shirt before going to the hospital to not draw more suspicion on the attack.
And now he finds himself in his first week at Beacon Hills with his first full moon looming closer every day.
Some things to know about Conner is that he was on the swim team at his old high school. He loves being in the water, even though he was nowhere near being the best swimmer on the team and He will hope to join the BHHS swim team if there is one.
Also, the boy is gay. He had a boyfriend who immediately dumped him the moment he found out he was being moved to America, so he's a bit heartbroken over that. He won't be looking for a new boyfriend, but if he happens to find one, so be it. And because of this breakup and being removed from The only home he can remember, he's not going to be the most pleasant person to be around at first.
He does have dual citizenship. His father is an American, his mother is British and he himself warn born in America. They moved to London when he was only a year old. He can do a pretty decent American accent, but his default is a definite British accent.
Lastly, as a wolf, he has blue eyes. He doesn't remember what he did, partly because of shock and his mind blocking the traumatic event, and partly because he was very high. He had been on vacation with his parents in Italy and had made a friend. Somehow a fight had started between the two and the next thing Conner knew, the other kid was dead and there was blood on his hands. He washed off in the river and woke up in the bushes outside the vacation home without a single conscious memory of the incident. Though unconscious memories can be recovered.
