Personality: Connor seems a bit
stand-offish at first, but that's from his
professional detachment he tries to keep. It kind
of falls over into real life, not just when he's
working. When you get past that, you'll find a
very friendly, caring, loving young man, who's
willing to give his all to people. Connor is also
very passionate about his patients, but has lost
his faith in god.
He
will though be very forward to those he thinks
are to uptight. He's not above being over
obnoxious to people like that. Others he's the
quiet man and yet to others, he has a mouth that
won't stop.
Personal Quirks: Jogs around
the dome every morning and then goes to the gym
to work out, as long as he has time, like having
no patients to tend to. Is an adventurer at
heart. Loves to do the dives into the caves, the
mountain climbs to the peaks, things like that.
If it constitues a risk, he'll be there.
History:Connor was raised the middle
child of 7 other children. His parents could
never have children, so they adopted all they
could. They were never rich people, but they were
well off and loving, caring people. So it turned
out adopting 7 children was easy.
Connor came with a baby
sister. Their parents had died when they were
both very young and the government didn't want to
split them up if possible, so his adoptive
parents took them both.
They were born and raised in
Australia, living in an area where they had
Aborigines for friends. So Connor and his
siblings learned how to hunt, trap and survive
out of doors for long periods of time and he
learned to take the risks he loved. Between
school and the Aborigines, it was a pretty good
life.
But about 16 that changed,
when one of his older siblings started to use
drugs. Soon he had drug Connor into it. Their
parents couldn't do anything about the older
sibling, but they could with Connor. They tried
rehab with him and shortly after he got out, his
dad got a job in the states. They figured leaving
it all behind and the sibling who was just out of
control, would be best.
They were soon living in New
York and despite the temptation there, Connor
managed to stay clean. At the New York school he
was pretty popular, the girls loved the accent.
And Connor found out, that he'd learned more in
the Australian School System then the American's
had. He did one year of American school and
graduated by the time he was 17.
He went to
college right out of high school, like his
parents wanted, but he didn't know what he wanted
to do. But that all changed one night at school,
when at a party, a girl OD'd. Connor being about
the only straight one, did all he could to save
her. He'd learned a lot from hanging around with
his brother when they were both using. He managed
to save the girl and after talking to a doctor at
the hospital, he was kind of talked into becoming
an EMT.
Connor took the classes and
soon became an EMT, he also stayed in school,
deciding he wanted to be a doctor. He worked for
years as an EMT and soon was taking his residency
as a doctor. His training as an EMT paid off
several times, as he found quicker, easier ways
to save someone's life in the ER.
He came to his bosses
attention and they took him under their wing,
teaching him all they knew. Connor was an apt
student and caught on quickly. All his evals were
excellent and soon he was done with his training
and was a full fledged doctor. He stayed at the
hospital working there and having a pretty good
life, but he also ended up losing his faith,
never able to understand how little children
could die. Especially those beaten and abused by
their own parents.
Then one day several men
from the government showed up and talked to him
about a new job. After much convincing, that this
was indeed real, he was soon taking the biggest
risk of his life, living on Mars.
