**Owen Conners**, a main character in the Story Thieves story, was just a normal middle school student, bored in math class, and dreaming of adventures he thought he'd never have. That is, until he met Bethany, a half-fictional girl, who changes his world with her unlikely friendship. He launched from nerdy twelve-year-old to heroic twelve-year-old, saving the fictional and non-fictional world time and time again alongside his numerous friends. From impersonating the magician Kiel Gnomenfoot to battling against his fictional counterpart, to being trapped in a prison beyond time and space, Owen got everything he's ever wished for: something interesting. For the fictional version of him, see Fowen.

## History

*Pre-Series*

*Story Thieves*

## Appearance

In the books, he is described to have brown hair. On the covers, he is shown with dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. He believes one arm is slightly longer than the other, although it is unlikely. He is described many times as an ordinary-looking boy with a goofy smile.

## Special Abilities

In Story Thieves: Secret Origins, Quanterian cyborg Charm Mentum gives Owen, Gwen, and Bethany special abilities using science. From Secret Origins until a certain point in Worlds Apart, Owen's superpower is that he can speed up his own time, and the personal time of anyone else he touches. If he had a normal heart, it is possible that he would have died of heart failure, but near the end of Story Thieves (book one) he receives a robotic heart in Quanterium. However, all Quanterian science fails horrifically in the real world, and since his running abilities make it worse, from Worlds Apart to the end of the book, he barely uses the speed racing ability at all. That is why Owen switches bodies with Fowen so his heart failures stop.

In ¨Pick the Plot¨ Owen is given the ability to create tear like portals that allow him to travel from one ¨fictional¨ universe to the next by a ancestor of the evil Magister (Who is also called the Magister) or by his future self.

He has read virtually every book in his mother's library, giving him the knowledge to guess plot twists and recognize characters.

Also known for saying the most awkward thing possible at the worst possible time- although when lives are at stake, he is known for coming through any and every obstacle (fear, anger, **Fowen**, etc).

## Relationships

### Bethany Sanderson

Owen and Bethany get off on the wrong foot at first (to be fair Owen tricked her into taking him into the Kiel Gnomenfoot books), but as time goes on they get closer, and slip into a sister-brother relationship.

### Kiel Gnomenfoot

At first, Owen viewed Kiel as his idol, but they eventually got closer, and Kiel and Owen started viewing each other as brothers.

### Kara Dox

Owen is Kara's best friend, and She'll do anything to protect him. she tried several times to save him by going back in time, but he always died, at least, until the events of Worlds apart. It is implied that Owen has feelings for Kara, calling her "a cute girl" and felt guilty about talking about Charm to her.

### Charm Mentum

Owen has a crush on Charm, and thinks about and draws her often. He missed her very much, and it hurt him deeply when she called him a lair. He refused to leave her when the bookwyrms tried to kill her, and he was filled with rage and hatred when Fowen turned her into possibility. In the end, Charm forgave him and is (as Bethany says) protective of him. in the rewritten epilogue of The Source of Magic, Charm loved it when Owen blushed, implying that she has started to have feelings for him.
