CHARACTER

Character Name: Connor Cygnus
Character Concept: Duck-Billed Platypus
Age/Birthdate: 18 / February 12th 1980
Heritage:
Mother - Scottish
Father - English
Sexuality: Homosexual since birth. Never a doubt.
Occupation: Inn Keeper

Appearance
At five feet and ten inches tall, Connor's 156 pounds gives him a very lanky look. He has grey eyes and very dark brown hair which tends to look nearly black in the colder months of the year, and lightens slightly in the summer, giving hints of his mother's flaming red mane. His hair however is strait, where his mother's is a mass of curls and he's quite proud of his hair. His mother often says she can see his father in his features, which he takes as a compliment, as he has only ever heard her mother describe his father as 'a beautiful man'.

His nose is long strait and slender and he has a wide, full mouth. His lips turn very slightly down at the corners, but he's more often then not smiling so it doesn't make him seem at all moody. He has a birthmark high on his back just below his neck that his mother says is shaped like a dog, Connor thinks however, that it looks more like spilled coffee. His delicate bone structure in combination of his hair often makes him look very girlish, but it doesn't bother him. He is aware that he's a rather beautiful individual, as he's often told, but it hasn't made him arrogant. He tends to wear casual clothing. He's a huge fan of tshirts and loves sweaters and scarves.

Background
Connor Cygnus was born February 12th 1980, in Shore Street, which is located in the Highlands of Scotland and more popularly known as Applecross. His mother, Annie Summers, raised him alone. She told him very little of his father, and he learned when he was young not to question her about him, as it was obviously a painful subject for her. She's a kind-hearted woman who has a tendency to open her house to all sorts of strays. When he was about 8 his mother bought a larger house toward the northern end of 'The Street' and opened it as a bed and breakfast for those few who came there. He has no other siblings.

Where He's From
Shore Street, or Applecross, which is more commonly called 'The Street' has a less then 300. Outsiders are rare, because of the sheer difficulty of reaching the small town. The community has been around for 1300 years, give or take a quarter-century.

Summers Inn: In addition to being the only inn in Applecross, Summers Inn also serves as a romantic or relaxing getaway for members of their own community.

PLATYPUS
Taken from Wikipedia
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

The Platypus is a small, half-aquatic, venomous, egg-laying, duck-billed mammal.

Physical
The body and the broad, flat tail of the platypus are covered with brown fur that traps a layer of insulating air to keep the animal warm. The Platypus uses the tail for fat storage. It has webbed feet and a large, rubbery snout reminiscent of a duck's features. The snout does not open like a bird's beak The Platypus snout is a sensory organ with an opening on the underside.

Venom
The male Platypus has venomous ankle spurs, used in vicious territorial battles and fights over mates. The venom is not normally lethal to humans but produces excruciating pain and swelling that lasts for several months. The pain is so excruciating that the victim is rendered almost helpless. Venom is aggressively inflicted through a calcaneus spur on each hind limb.

Electrolocation in the Platypus
The Platypus is one of the few mammals known to have a sense of electroception: it locates its prey in part by detecting their body electricity. Its electroception is the most sensitive of any mammal. The Platypus can determine the direction of an electric source, perhaps by comparing differences in signal strength across the sheet of electroreceptors. The cortical convergence of electrosensory and tactile inputs suggests a mechanism for determining the distance of prey items which, when they move, emit both electrical signals and mechanical pressure pulses, which would also allow for computation of distance from the difference in time of arrival of the two signals. The electroreceptors could also be used to distinguish animate and inanimate objects in this situation (in which the mechanoreceptors would be continuously stimulated).
