WELCOME

Your application has been approved, with the following note:

↠ Given what you've told us about the Connors, it seems only fair to apply the same set of nerfs to both: Connor's nearly superhuman expertise in such a wide range of physical pursuits and academic subjects, coupled with peak intelligence, incredible analytic skills, near-photographic memory, sharpened senses, negotiation/interrogation/manipulation skills, etc. is simply too much for one now-normal human. After the Rift transition from a computer brain to a brain brain, Connor can arrive with either (i) his peak physical abilities, mastery of combat, precision hand-eye coordination, and sharpened senses, or (ii) his incredible analytical skills, high intelligence, near-eidetic memory, and all that knowledge stored in his brain. If you choose (i), then Connor's intelligence, 'processing power', and accumulated knowledge will be reduced to the level of a normal human of slightly above-average intelligence and perception with a good memory, who took a couple classes about the subjects you list in college but is not an expert in any of them, and will require normal lengths of time to learn more. If you choose (ii), Connor will have the physical capabilities of a normal man of his build, with average senses and average hand-eye coordination. While he can know how to do common things like throw a punch or ride a bike, he will have lost the knowledge and 'muscle memory' of other forms of combat/parkour/marksmanship, etc. and will require normal human lengths of time to relearn from scratch. Please let us know which you choose.

↠ Whichever you choose, please refrain from extrapolating more proficiencies than are directly supported by canon (such as assuming he'd already know how to use a sword and bow though neither comes up in the game).

↠ We also want to mention, mostly just as a footnote for potential applicants who might browse our app responses and take them as a precedent for future apps: we're permitting both this app and the second Connor's app because we said previously that we would and it wouldn't be fair to rescind that now because of a misunderstanding of the canon on our part. But we do want to be clear that in the future, clones/copies/etc. of another apped character who coexist only briefly and whose history and choices diverge only over a few days' time rather than a prolonged period sufficient to establish clearly separate identities will not be considered distinct characters and will not both be appable.
