Appearance:
Given that Conjune is a Norwegian Forest Cat he has long haired fur with a striped pattern that is mostly light brown and grey with the exception around his chest, eyes, and nose where it is mostly white and a bit crème coloured.
Being a Janus Cat Conjune has two faces on his head, both noses and mouths, one left, one right are on the same level (his left face is a bit lower although it needs some time and direct observation to notice that). All three of his eyes are green, his middle eye which is also bigger than the one on the left and right side appears to be staring given that it is non-functional.
His left mouth is completely developed but is not connected to the oesophagus/gullet, the trachea/windpipe, and the vocal cords, when Connor and June talk with their right mouth, the left one moves as well, given the impression that he talks with both mouths at the same time. (The right mouth is the dominant mouth for talking, breathing eating and drinking)
History/Bio:
Born as a child with Diprosopus Connor and June was given a slim chance of survival on the first hours and days when he was born. Thankfully to a dedicated senior staff member of the delivery suite and a nurse, Connor and June survived the struggles that have been his birth and the complications afterwards. Raised by the chief physician and the nurse the forest cat spends his early days for many weeks of the years in the hospital which contributed to the Janus cat growing a dislike for medical equipment and hospitals.
Growing up in the suburbs of Empire city Connor and June would often go with his parents for a walk exploring the suburban town of the great city. It was also the old telescope from his mother’s grandfather that would spark the cat’s interest for the vast and mysterious space that holds so many unexplored secrets and unanswered questions.
When coming to the age to enrol for elementary school it was his father who at first was undecided whether to register his son for a public school or to home-school him, fearing that his son might be the victim of bullying and harassment given Connor and Junes appearance.
It was after a long talk and conversation with his wife and colleagues from the hospital that his father accepted to enrol Connor and June into an elementary school, but not before promising him to be there for him and make sure that people who would make fun of him or prank him to make sure there would be consequences for those who would do the forest cat any harm.
Whilst Conjune unfortunately got made fun off and harassed by some [but thanks to his mothers and father’s intervention the school did react in those cases] he also made a few friends, many who would remain friends a live long and following him to the secondary school he was attending. Although the cat had his fair share of happy experiences and memories, the negative impact from some of his school colleagues also made him withdrawn and cold looking to strangers and people he had not much contact with. Whilst his family and friends knew him, for others he appeared distant.
In the secondary school Connor and June discovered his passion not only for physics and mathematics, but also it was there where his interest in theatre awoke and the reason, he joined the school’s theatre club. Despite being someone who preferred to be alone from time to time and not being a extroverted person, it longed Connor and June to be part of a stage play where people would see them play minor part or perhaps one day even a major role.
It was unfortunately a rocky start due of the senior theatre director being heavily unfriendly, antagonistic, and even ableist to Connor and June which almost prompted the cat to leave as a member of the club. Fortunately, the junior theatre club director had a different view and attitude towards Connor and June and was more than eager for the cat to join, having seen the cats acting skills the junior director saw the potential of the forest cats acting and recruited him for his first roll in one of the musicals. With the senior directors (early) retirement Connor and June would act in different rolls and theatre plays trough the years of secondary school.
When reaching the age of sixteen the cats parents admitted to their son, that they are in fact not, his biological parents but had adopted him which led for some time to a fallout between him and his parents as well as him often staying with friends. Whilst both his mother and father assured him that they kept it for this long to themselves not for ill meaning but rather being ashamed of how his biological parents threated and acted towards their new. Leading his mother who was a friend of his parents, breaking up the contact with them. The northern forest cat was still hurt by for how long his parents have kept this information from him. Resulting in him not trusting them for some time.
Searching for his biological parents to get closure, Connor and June experienced by himself just how distant his biological parents are to him by when he finally had the strength to meet with them, his “parents” send out their butler at the manor to tell him to go away and not to return. Over time the fallout with his adoptive parents got resolved and Connor and June sees them as their true parents for how they cared and loved him going so far that when his biological parents suddenly passed away he did not accept the inheritance that lawfully would he had the right to claim. Making his reclusive younger sibling the sole heir.
Having passed his final exam Conjune decided to take a different path. Despite his liking for musicals and other forms of theatrical plays, the wasted potential of space exploration around his home-planet and their solar system inspired the cat to enlist into a studying program for aerospace engineering which he passed a few years later. With the degree of an Aerospace engineer and the lessons of business economics and business management, Connor and June had the requirements to open his own aerospace manufacturing and space transportation company which he called “Twin Wing Corp.”
The search for co-workers and investors was stressful and tiring, being able to convince people to invest their money for a company that brought people and satellites into space was a tiring task. Thanks to his dedication, hard work and success in bringing experimental equipment and construction parts alike, Connor and June stand out as a reliable head of the company pleasing his investors and fans for space exploration alike
Currently Connor and June are planning for a manned space exploration to their neighbour planet that he and many others are eager to explore since it is the planet with the highest habitability next to their own home world.
