At the address, Kyle’s head jerks up from the charcoal piece he’s working on, just now registering the presence of another person in the room. His first instinct is to melt into a smile, because hey, it’s Connor, but then his second instinct is to squint a little, because hey, wasn’t he supposed to be eating lunch with the other teacher in his department today? “Oh, shit,” he exhales, rubbing a hand over his face, totally forgetting its covered in black charcoal. “I definitely sent the wrong person a calendar notification. I mean, on the one hand, score, ‘cause you’re way hotter than Miss Margoyles, but yeah I definitely didn’t mean to invite you to a ‘Introductions and Lesson Plans’ lunch.” 

To Connor’s credit, there really isn’t any time to stop Kyle from plastering his face with charcoal. Sure, there was enough time for the Kill Bill alarms to blare internally, but Connor’s only human when faced with a cute guy making a bad choice. “ Huh. Well at least you calling me ma’am makes a lot more sense. ” One mystery down, Connor takes the seat opposite Kyle with a grin, and wipes just a little of the charcoal from Kyle’s chin. The rest can stay for just a little while longer. “ We can call this something else, if you want? Or I can do an extremely terrible Miss Margoyles impression. Did you know the Impressionists only ever wanted to be fully Known? And I own a... cat? ”

“ so not that i’m complaining or anything, but — ” connor hedges, rubs at his nape. he has a carrier with some canned drinks, because that’s all he could come up with on short notice as an ice breaker on campus. he really doesn’t expect it’s going to be all that effective, but it’s that or the bow strapped to his back, and he still hasn’t worked on a party trick repertoire like the rest of the family. “ are you sure it was me you wanted to meet with? ”

  “ hey, you wanna see something cool ?? ”  wally shoves a couple fries in his mouth, pats irey on the head so she’ll stay put, and then disappears for a couple seconds.  when he’s back, it’s with a couple of the twins’ school folders.  “ jai found a green arrow folder, and guess which beardless arrow-slinger was on the cover ?? ”  it’s a medicore depiction of connor at best, but hey !!  fun find.  “ the twins fought tooth and nail for it. ”

in the few seconds apart, connor slips some of his fries onto the twins’ plates, straightening up when wally returns with a blank face. it’s not much, but it’s usually at least enough to get him a laugh or two from the kids. “ wait, are you serious? ” connor’s mind is pretty blown by that, for someone that used to pile up the other green arrow’s figurines in a shoebox when he was a kid. he wipes his hands clean, and holds one out to take a look. “ can’t believe I finally made the big time... what do you think, are my eyebrows really that glamorous? scream education? ”

( han hyun min, 27, he/him ) Look, it’s CONNOR HAWKE from earth-2327! I hear they go by GREEN ARROW and they’re currently TA FOR COMBAT ARTS. I noticed they’re KIND-HEARTED, but also kinda CONFLICTED. I can’t wait to see what they do next! 

a weenie intro for my fave forgotten arrow, who deserves far better! he’s based from new earth comics, subject to changes thru plotting etc!

- Connor was brought up by his mum, never having knowingly met his father. There was never a set place they called home, having to travel for her work just as much as often as they did to find Connor a new school, who was frequently expelled for fighting bullies.

- Connor finally learns that his father is Oliver Queen; the Green Arrow, and immediately wants to follow in his footsteps. There were newspaper clippings, some bootleg figurines involved, all just a little embarrassing to him in retrospect. Once it becomes clear that Connor’s anger issues are making schooling impossible, he begs to be allowed to join the same Ashram monastery his father did so long ago.

- Connor’s teenage years are spent here, learning the practices of Zen Buddhism to maintain focus and composure, along with Aikido and archery. Eventually he meets Ollie himself, and for a short time becomes his sidekick, fully adoring the chance to get to know his father while also worrying how to tell him of their relation to each other. Someone else ends up doing that for him, and it didn’t end pretty, with Ollie dying soon after.

- After Ollie passed, Connor takes on the mantle as Green Arrow, and throws himself fully into the hero lifestyle. Along the way he meets many other heroes, growing close to his new siblings along with Kyle Rayner, Wally West, Tim Drake, Spoiler & co.

- Eventually Connor finds out Ollie is still alive, and stages his rescue along with his newfound family.

- It’s been years since then, and Connor has finally gotten to grips with hero work before being invited to assist with the Academy.

Personality wise, Connor is best described as: - Compassionate & Genuine - Quick-tempered (work in progress) - Actual angel baby who’s never done anything wrong in his life ever
