 * fakari-g:** Connant was once believed to be the monster but nobody knew at the time. Due to all of the paronia going around the crew, nobody could trust anyone so anybody really could have been the monster.......but Connant was one of the more suspicous characters.


 * Rico**
 * Connant Physical Characteristics:** He is not as large as everyone else. Also, he is in a way considered a child. He was put on watch duty and they automatically assumed that he was a monster. They did it in a way that was similar to how you would assume that a little kid stole a piece of candy. you can tell that most of the people don't like him! The anoying little brother.
 * Personality** : a somewhat lazy person who is afraid of the thing, but also doesn' t seem like he is concerned for himself. "He realized vaguely that he had been looking at them(the eyes) for a very long time, even vaguely understood that they were no longer sightless. But it didn't seem of importance, of no more importance than the labored slow motions of the tentacular things that sprouted from the base of scrawny, slowly pushing neck." If you notice, he doesn't seem to react to all of these things happening. But he is in a way concerned because he is doing guard duty in yhe first place!
 * Internal conflict:** He doesn't know how to react to the creature and the assumptions vmade by other people.He doesn't know if he should be fully paranoid.
 * External conflict :** Everyone thinks that he is the monster cand on top of that, the creature is out to get him.
 * Motavation :** He is of mixed feelings; he's scaredn but doesn't know how to deal with it so it looks as if he doesn't care. But he doesn't want to die. Unfortunatly the creature uses this to his full advantage by attacking him in a way that disorients him.

Name:**Connant Human may be human, you damned sawbones, what in hell do you think i am....pg.271 Connant does not really know what to believe he is with the crew thinking he's an alien. Yor eyes-Lord,I wish you could see your eyes staring ...........pg.271 Connant is having a hard time with everyone staring a him and thinking he is a monster.

 * Personality:** He is a person who wants to be friends with everyone and is a brave person who wants to help his friends
 * Internal conflict:** He is scared not noing if he is the monster. He would like to think that he is a human or if he is already the monster he would like the crew to think that he is. He diminstraights this when he says "Human! May be human, you damned sawbones, what in hell do you think I am."- pg.271
 * External conflict:** His crew mates think that he is the monster even though he has shown no "big" signs of being one. He does have one person on his side for a little while. His name is McReady. "Connant is Connant, because he ot merely looks like Connant, but he thinks like like Connant, moves himself around as Connant does."- pg. 269
 * Motivation:** Connant has no clear motivation, but if he has one its the fact that he wants to clear his name of being the monster.


 * __Maurice Chester: Character Profile__**

Name: Connant Physical Characteristics: Connat is cherry red, red head who is smaller than the rest of the crew. He may be small but is very strong and tough,once described as an "ironman." He has deep, black-set eys. Personality: Very outspoken and fearless. He’s is the kind of person that says “let’s do it now and ask questions later. ‘“Hey, for the love of Heaven - you mean that damned thing will come to life!" Connant yelled. "You get the damned thing - Let me at it! That's going to be in so many pieces -”’ He is also very blunt in his speech, very straight forward “Connant straightened up. ‘Get up - and get a lift on. Your damned animal's escaped."’ Internal Conflict: Connat is worried about if he has turned into a monster or if he is still human. External Conflict: Ever since they thawed out the thing and it came to life, Connant had to deal with the constant question of “is he a monster” from everyone in Big Magnet. Motivation: I’m not quite sure what exactly his motivation is, if there even is one. It may be more of a self saving motivation to clear his name as a monster.

__**AaronThomas : Character Profile**__
 * Name**:Connant
 * Physical Characteristic**:His hair is cherry red and i picture him as kind of short and a little chubby. He is small, but is big on the inside.
 * Personality**: Connant is very brave, but it was hard when everybody was against him thinking he was the "Thing." He has been through a lot. He is very concious and reminds me more of a loner who has no one, but is still strong. In a way he is a little scared though because not ever seeing a being like that freaked him out and he didn't want to be near it let alone the same room with it.
 * Internal Conflict**: Connant has a lot of internal conflict, as every other crew member has, of becomming a monster. He knows inside himself that he is truly not the monster.**//__A grin rode even on Connant's heavy face as Kinner's perennial good-natured grouch came up again. But it died away quickly as his dark, deep-set eyes turned again to the red-eyed thing Blair was chipping from its cocoon of ice.__//** If he even saw a little existence of the monster it made his emotions change towards the thing and himself.
 * //__"Hey, for the love of Heaven - you mean that damned thing will come to life!" Connant yelled. "You get the damned thing - Let me at it! That's going to be in so many pieces - "__//**This is some of the fear Connant has towards the Thing, but everyone else wants to find out more about it.


 * External Conflict**: Connants external conflict was with the crew. Since he had been in the room with the alien everybody thinks he's a monster. Whatever the crew thinks thats what he is. Its hard for him to be okay if everyone is in fear of him and afraid because thet think he may be a monster.
 * //__Blair sat up in his bunk suddenly. "Connant - where's Connant?"__//**
 * //__The physicist moved over toward the little biologist. "Here I am. What do you want?"__//**
 * //__"Are You?" giggled Blair. He lapsed back into the bunk contorted with silent laughter.__//**
 * //__Connant looked at him blankly "Huh? Am I what?"__//**
 * //__"Are you there?" Blair burst into gales of laughter. "Are you Connant? The beast wanted to be a man - not a dog - "__//** . This is conflict where Blair is making fun of Connant and teasing him about being an alien when its really not that Funny to Connant. After this no one believed Connant but McReady.
 * Motivation**: Connant's motivation is fear of becomming a monster. His fear keeps him strong and ready to strike at the thing at any time.The fear constantly keeps him aware and on watch for the thing making sure he is not going to become an imitation. Connant's motivation is to also prove to everyone he isn't a monster.

Carmina Escalante-Character Profile;

__Name__ : Connant

__Physical Characteristics__ : Few were given in the actual story(such as his hair being cherry red), but my personal perception of Connant is that he is a stocky, medium-sized man. He has a curly beard (like the ones that come out and loop) __Personality__ : Connant is very paranoid, even before people are suspecting him of being the Thing. He is paranoid about watching the Thing in the first place. For example, //“// " //Damnation." The physicist looked toward the far corner, back at the Geiger counter on the table near that comer, and crawled under the desk at which he had been working to retrieve the pencil. He sat down at his work again, trying to make his writing more even. It tended to have jerks and quavers in it, in time with the abrupt proud-hen noises of the Geiger counter. The muted whoosh of the pressure lamp he was using for illumination, the mingled gargles and bugle calls of a dozen men sleeping down the corridor in Paradise House formed the background sounds for the irregular, clucking noises of the counter, the occasional rustle of falling coal in the copper-bellied stove. And a soft, steady drip-drip-drip from the thing in the corner.”// Chapter IV. __Internal Conflict__ : For Connant, his internal conflict is, for the middle and end of the story, trying to, being the Thing, conceal his identity, and the fact that he is not himself anymore. In the beginning, Connant’s internal conflict is whether he is agreeing to this whole “Thing” or disagreeing, and obeying orders. (Example: Agreeing to watch the “Thing” for the base.) __External Conflict:__ His external conflict is with the people around him who are extremely paranoid. Connant is the first suspect or person they believe was the ‘Thing” __Motivaton:__ Connant’s motivation throughout the entire story, is to clear his name and make people believe that he is truly still the original Connant.

Thank-you Carmina!!! Connant's physical characteristics are not "unknown" or "n/a." Those of you who leave your post like that will not receive credit because your character profile will be considered incomplete. It takes time to search in the story to find these characterstics. Campbell tells his reader about the hair color, eye color, and beard (that is the stuff I found in a quick 5 minute search). Additionally, Carmina made up for Campbell's lack of physical description by describing the type of person she pictured Connant to be. Well done! The rest of you have some re-editing to do.
