Character Information
Name:Connor Temple
Nickname/aliases: Conn, Number One Stud (Not... Really. >.>)
Canon: Primeval
Canon Type?: TV Show
Character's LJ: [info]nogunsforconnor
Brief history of your character:
Connor is from Leeds but has lived in London for the last couple years now, attending Central Metropolitan University and majoring in Palaeontology. Connor’s always been interested in conspiracy theories which is how he got roped into being on the ARC team with his professor Nick Cutter when anomalies (holes in time) started popping up.
Connor’s natural talent for technology and love of dinosaurs made him perfect as their resident tech genius, creating databases of information on prehistoric animals as well as the Anomaly Detection Device, which has a large computer at the ARC as well as handheld units for taking in the field. He has generally stuck to being the brains of the operation, since the few times he’s used firearms (or other types of weaponry) it usually ends up with him accidentally injuring himself or one of his teammates. However, after his mentor Cutter died Connor has taken up a lot more responsibility of the team in his absence.
People in his life: Cutter was his mentor, the Yoda to his padawan. Abby is the team animal expert and Connor’s roommate and crush. Becker is head of security and heads up the "muscle". Jenny was the head PR person for the ARC but is no longer working there. Danny is the new team leader. Sarah is a historian and new to the team. Tom and Duncan were his two best friends outside of the ARC team, now just Duncan since Tom died in a parasitic dinosaur related incident.
Brief synopsis of your character's personality:
Connor is a dork, simply said. He is easily liked even though most people on his team find him irritating and they don't always take him seriously. He doesn't often take things too seriously either, sometimes rushing into danger or, for instance, not understanding why keeping dinosaurs as pets would be considered a bad thing. He is a very loyal teammate and friend. He is often eager to help and eager to please, especially with Cutter who he looked up to and wanted to impress as his student.
He is in love with Abby but happy to just be friends and flatmates with her instead and it does not stop him from dating as she does not return his affections. He's an optimist and loves to learn. He loves games and is very nosy (see above comment re: irritating ;D).
