Connor Stiles

Connor Stiles is one of the main protagonists of IJO.

He is not part of any participating team, but he keeps tagging along, following the Solar System team until the very end, along with James Wade.

Appearance
Connor is a pure XY* human. He looks considerably younger than his actual age and he is shorter than average. He has blonde messy hair and light purple pupil-less eyes. He wears mostly black suits and dark shades, but he is casually seen wearing normal clothes in book five.

Background
Brought to a mental institution for alien children (later referred to by Connor as "the centre") just two days after his birth, he never gets to directly meet any of his parents. He is soon enough diagnosed with genetic Histrionic Personality Disorder and Bipolar Disorder. He grows up as an all time extroverted happy child on the outside, still confused by the silent racism he'd encountered ever since. Extra chapter two provides an insight on Connor's inner thoughts and reveals his internal brooding personality. Extremely smart from an early age, he manages to get straight A's without much effort. He is usually seen reading textbooks or encyclopaedias, or programming toy robots. At the age of 7 he accidentally meets James Wade, the first human Connor ever encountered. Fascinated by the fact that there was someone else who shared the same brain features as him, he soon enough grows a lifelong attachment to James. Following their escape from the centre 4 years later and Alden's sudden death, the two brainmates are forced into starting a new life all alone. At the age of 11, Connor falls into depression and gradually starts to recover by the age of 16, after he gets a job and moves to Earth with James

Personality
Connor is an apparent happy and lively person, the life and soul of the party, always aiming for being the centre of attention. He tries to keep everyone happy and lift everyone's spirits and that seems to keep him happy as well. He is noted to have a brave and daring personality, not fearing anything but rejection and loneliness.
