Bonjour!
Je M'appelle: Quinton Moreau
Aussi: Quinn
Dieu: Quetzalcoatl
Quel age as tu? 11
Personnalite: Cute. Sure, it sounds like a physical trait, but it isn't. Not for him. He purposely acts cute. He does this with ulterior motives, however. He makes friends with whoever he can, but won't necessarily remain their friend for long. (He is a snake, after all. wink ) He's oddly optimistic, but is fairly easily snapped. Also, he's bi-polar. His moodiness can be helpful as well as hurtful- he gets a bit stronger when he's angry or upset, if only because of the passion he puts into all his emotions. He's also prone to random bursts of crying (Sometimes to get what he wants) where he'll pout or throw a tantrum. He can't be swayed when he wants something, unless you have candy. His one weakness, he basically hordes chocolate bars. You will almost always see him eating one, but he never seems to gain weight as he is also always active. He's never sitting, either, and always wants to be doing something. As long as you don't ask him to sit still, you're probably okay. Quinn is easily entertained- give him some candy or a shiny toy and he'll last a long time. Also, due to his mother being french and his father english, he's very pale skinned.
Apparence: Quinn's eleven. He's about 4'10, and doesn't weigh much at all. He has long blonde hair. It's not crazy long, but it's down to about the middle of his back. He has eyes that are almost completely white. His legs are muscled, but he hides it usually under long pants. Also, he generally wears big shirts with too-long sleeves with thumb holes cut out of them. His clothes are usually dark colors, as he's kind of embarrassed of the color all over him. He either lets his hair hang down or pulls it into a braid- He stinks at braiding, though, so he has to ask other people to braid it for him. He wears a beanie which will be explained in the history.
General: Quinton took classes as a gymnast since he was little. His parents couldn't afford them, but the school had a free program that he participated in. In battle, he prefers not to face people on fair grounds- he always likes to find a way to have the advantage over his opponent. He dodges more than he attacks, and when he does attack he attacks suddenly and without warning. When he carries weapons, they're always concealed.
Hand-Me-Down Godliness: He can control animals, to an extent. Mostly small animals and bugs. Butterflies seem to follow him everywhere. Colorful feathers, and colors in general, pop up all over his body, and he's very fluid in his motions. Also, because of his control over animals, he has some people mind skills as well. Not as much as with animals, as animals have small brains, but he can bend people to his point of view a small amount.
Histoire: Quinn was born on June 3, a Gemini, and had two healthy parents. His father was English and worked in business, and his mother was a French stay-at-home mom. They lived in commerce corridors until his father died when Quinn was seven. His mother had to take up being a Maid and babysitting for uppers and commerce households, so they ended up moving to Middling. They got by.
Quinn had troubles at school since his dad died. He got angrier, and more prone to get in fights- the death of his father had traumatized him. Unfortunately, he wasn't particularly strong, so he wound up getting beat up most of the time.
When he was nine or ten, Quinn noticed something different about his hair. Strangely, the hair would turn darker from the scalp to about three inches down. After a while, the new hair grew become progressively brighter. All the colors of the rainbow mixed in naturally with his own hair; it became a nuisance. His classmates picked on him relentlessly and his teachers reprimanded him for being a distraction; he had found himself in detention almost more than in class.
His mother, tired of the constant calls from the administrator, placed her husband’s old beanie atop her son’s head. The gray knit beanie was too large for Quinn’s head; perfect for hiding his hair from the taunts of his classmates. The following week was horrible; his classmates, teachers, and administrators attempted to remove the hat he loved so much and cut off his hair. However, the colors would only return hours later, much to their dismay. The school eventually gave up, and he was left alone; anyone who grabbed it left with something broken.
Quinn heard his mother crying one night over money, when he was ten. His mother always made sure he had food and clothes, but they were running extremely short on money. He went to sleep that night, and had nightmares about his mother dying of starvation due to lack of money. When he woke up, he found a small pile of coins beside his pillow. At first not caring where they came from, he carried them to his mother's coin jar and dropped them all in. This happened every night, until one night, he decided to stay up and see what was happening.
He drifted in and out of sleep, but eventually he saw it. A rat. It was running through a hole in his wall, and a minute or so later, was coming back with coins.
"Hello, Mr. Rat."
It chittered back at him, and dropped a coin. He grinned. From then on, he decided...
He wouldn't just get by.
