Connor O'Reily
Career Highlights
Connor O'Reily is the Irish-born half of the Princes of New England. He hails from Boston.
Connor has never really known his biological parents, as his father left before he was born and his mother committed suicide when he was only three. Connor, his twin sister Miranda, and their brother Mark were all raised by their aunt and uncle (Caitlin and Barry Blair, respectfully). His uncle's love for wrestling eventually inspired Connor, notably irresponsible, to eventually pursue it at his occupation. However, he decided this when he was only fifteen and he dropped out of high school to join Curtis Brown's wrestling school.
However, a combination of Connor's age, irresponsibility, and punkish attitude all got him booted from Brown's training camp with not enough information or training to make it. During this time, he met Simon Knox, who agreed to help Connor and took him to Joey Malone. Joey, with the help of Coral Avalon, assisted in training young Connor even in spite of his flaws, and managed to make him into a professional wrestler by the age of 18.
Connor began teaming with Simon not long afterwards.
Personality:
Connor is a irresponsible and somewhat reckless youth.
It is often implied and sometimes outright stated that his life would fall to ruin if Miranda O'Reily, his twin sister, were not constantly keeping an eye on him. He is so terrible at managing his own finances that he'll buy things on impulse if he has even a couple of dollars in his pocket. The entire reason why Miranda initially joined him in his wrestling insanity was because of this, and it's why she continues to have to be with him.
Apart from his irresponsibility, Connor has a tendency to act like a jerk. He is a decidedly different kind of jerk than Simon is, in that he's more of the one of open hostility. He has an Irish temper and he's close to becoming an alcoholic, a combination that leaves him saying terrible things about a lot of people other than Miranda and Simon. Connor loses his temper frequently, often at bad times, and he seems to be the loose cannon of the Princes. Despite this, Connor can really think things through if he has to, though the results are often the result of his own irresponsible desires.
Connor is also very cavalier, using his good looks and his undeniable charm (which he seems to turn on and off like a light switch) to win over girls, sleep with them, and then promptly leave. Connor does not tend to stay in long relationships and any that have lasted longer than a month have ended in disaster because his charm fades away admidst his irresponsible behaviour and the fact that he's really kind of an asshole.
Though he manipulates her and occasionally treats her badly, Connor really does care about Miranda and goes insane with anger if she gets hurt.
