Connor Holmes

Name:Connor Holmes

Age:22

Race:Felinoid (Half-Human, Half-Feline Hybrid)

Nationality:Irish. (The only country that would accept him after numerous attempts to get citizenship elsewhere)

Height:6'5''

Weight:280lbs, Most in Lean Muscle

Eyes:Violet

Headfur(Hair)Color:Chocolate Brown, With Streaks of Silver

Primary Fur Color:White, With Black Tiger Stripes

Appearance:Although a bipedal felinoid can certainly draw some looks out and about, Connor usually does his best to look like any other human being, keeping his headfur trimmed short in a human-style haircut, and maintains fashionable sideburns down the sides of his furry face as well.

His usual garb is a pair of workman's denim overalls and a simple but nicely tailored shirt and waistcoat, topped with a black "greasetop" hat on his head. Given that he hasn't too much money, Connor cannot really afford too many fancy bits of garb, but for business meetings and other formal occasions when he isn't working, he does have a nicely tailored black suit and appropriate pants, and when he should be out of the road adventuring, he can and will change his garb to suit.
Given his pawlike feet, he can't wear shoes or socks of any sort, and usually makes do with wrapping his feet in various ways to combat extreme conditions should it be required.

Personality:Usually friendly and good natured, Connor is a quick study and a hard worker, although he can be a bit reserved, some would even say shy, upon first meetings, although once he warms up to you you'll surely get a ready smile and a touch of his sharp wit and offbeat sense of humor to match his sharp intelligence.

He can be quick to temper, and tends to get moody and depressed at times, but in general, Connor is easygoing and positive.
