User ImageName: Arthur James Quinton the third

Nickname: Quinn to his friends Arthur to everyone else. Call him AJ at your own risk. James can be used but he might not answer

Age: 20

Birthday: January 21

Sign: Aquarius

Gemstone: Garnet

Blood Type: AB-

Fav. Food: Pizza, meat lovers stuff crust preferably but any kind is good

Hated Food: Key Lime Pie..... no idea why

School: Destiny City University,
Majoring in Architecture, Minoring in photography

Hobbies:
- Photography
Quinn enjoys taking random pictures of the world around him, generally buildings or nature, occasionally people. He uses these images as inspiration for designing and building architecture. He rarely enters his work in local contests but he does enjoy plastering them all over his apartment, and uses them quite often in his digital renditions of rooms and buildings he creates in CAD. He enjoys visiting museums, galleries, and seminars to learn more about photography and the science behind it.

- Screen printing
Quinn has a smart a** streak a mile wide and loves showing it via shirts. If he thinks of a saying, or hears one, he will write it down, design something around it, and make a shirt that says it. He sells his more amusing creations to his classmates, friends, and online but he doesn't do it for the money, he does it for the laughs.

- Construction/building
Lego's, popsicle sticks, sand, stones, CAD (Computer Aided Design).... It doesn't mater what the media is Quinn loves building things. From houses to bridges to cars he enjoys figuring out how things are manipulated to create something beautiful and functional. He will often post his creations on his Deviantart page and often summits his smaller work in contests. Sometimes his inspiration is sparked by his classes but more often then not his creations inspire his class work.

- Music
Eclectic is a not strong enough word for Quinn's collection of music. He enjoys everything from heavy metal to classical, country to rock, nature sounds to rap. He does lean a bit more towards the 'oldies' section of any genre but does enjoy quite a few of the modern songs like The Climb by Miley Cyrus or I'm A Believer by Smash Mouth.

Virtues:
- Focused/Determined
Quinn is very focused when presented with a task or project. He gives it his all reguardless of what it is, from building a sandcastle with local kids to a project for class. If he doesn't know how to do it he will learn how and is more then willing to accept help from others as well as help others. If you have a project that you need help on, Quinn is your guy. He will work with you to get it done as best as possible. He doesn't know the meaning of 'Quit'.

- Fun Loving
Games, parties, picnics, rollerblading, bowling, swimming... Quinn loves to have fun. He enjoys life and the interaction with others. If there is a party Quinn will be there, even if its to be in a corner talking and possibly playing cards with a few friends. He comes up with countless advents for his friends and neighbors, even if only a few ever actually occur. If work and school didn't take up so much time he would likely have a party/game night every night. D and D anyone?

- Adventurous
Quinn will try anything at least once. He has eaten the strangest things from snake and squirrel to haggis and crickets; yes the do taste like chicken. He believes that one should not judge until one first tries. There are a few things he can't do just yet but that list is getting shorter every year; after all age does prohibit some things. He can't wait to go sky diving!

Flaws:
- Adrenalin Junkie
The rush... its the rush man, that Quinn loves. Weather its from a roller coaster or sneaking into the local skate park after hours Quinn craves the heart pounding flight or fight response. He will actively place himself in difficult situations just for that feel... skateboarding down a few well know San Fran's streets, snowboarding the triple black diamonds, poking a sleeping bear with a stick.... he isn't that stupid, but swimming with sharks he will most definitely do when he gets a chance. Quinn does not have a death wish nor does he wish to harm others but if bending the law is what it takes to get the rush then better look the other way because he will still do it, the very 'hush hush' juvie record proves it. Can anyone say skinny dipping in the public pool at midnight? If he can get his friends in on the action, the more the merrier he says. He will often drag his friends with him on an adventure and then 'nudge' them into trying it. Calling someone a chicken is an acceptable form of nudging, scardy cat works too. You know that saying, 'If everyone jumps off the bridge would you jump too?' well Quinn would be the first to jump then egg his friends into jumping with him.... as long as it’s with a bungee cord attached.

- Anti-authoritative
Unless you are his teacher, his father, or his mother don't tell him what to do. His knee jerk response to a order is 'no', occasionally 'hell no', and rarely 'are you out of your freaking mind', and if he doesn't just say it then he will likely straight up do the opposite. He hates being told what to do and truly does his best not to do it. The only reason he listens to his teacher, father, and mother is because... he will fail school and he will disappoint his family... something he works hard not to do.

- Sarcastic
The king of smart asses is the best description of Quinn. If you say something stupid like 'what meet is in beef and broccoli' he will respond with a smart a** response of 'chicken'. 'Thank You Caption Obvious' and 'No s**t Sherlock' are the general response for stupid observations. Have you ever seen Bill Engvall's 'Here's your sign' jokes? Yeah Quinn is the one who says the smart a** comments to the stupid observations...

User ImageKnight Title: Havasu Falls Page of Pluto
Second link

Challenge: "I recon' a time out is'a call'd for"

Uniform:
Pluto's Coloring, Pluto's Symbol (these are for my reference ^^)
Over all use the images as references but changes are expected

Top -- The Shirt should be like this; simplistic and non-embellished. White is preferred but if off white or eggshell makes more sense then... ok
Again the Vest should be pretty accurate to the image using the brown of pluto's coloring with maybe the dark gray as the accent color/pocket color. Although a red or green vest with gray or brown accent colors might work as well. The top button or the pocket chain could contain the pluto sign.... just a thought ^^; in brass of course
Bottoms -- I think the Pants would be best in the dark gray with the buttons in brass. Keep in mind the height of the boots, I'm thinking only one or two buttons would be visible over the boots, but I might be wrong. Again it might be worth looking into working the pluto sign into the buttons.
Gloves -- The brown would be best for the gloves, the accent color I'm thinking the green or red, which ever is the accent color of the vest. Then again it might be a intresting idea to see the colors switched; red/green main color with brown as accent. The back side of gloves and palm side of gloves
Belt -- I love the double belt but it might be best to save this one for the Knight stage, a simpler one would work as well. There should also be a small latch hook loop thingy where the full rope will eventually sit, again this might not be necessary until further stages. And the belt bag might be hidden from view due to the coat but here is a reference just in case. Love the compass but think the pluto sign would work best here.
Shoes -- The boots are rather utilitarian. About mid calf high with brass accents and maybe the pluto sign tooled into the leather. If you have ideas for better shoes I'm all ears ^^'
Shoulders -- For the Jacket I'm thinking brown with accent green or red, I'm working on a patter here cant you tell, but if a better color set would be best I'm all ears. Maybe dark gray with red accents? The jacket might be best to 'grow' into as the stages go. This is something we can discuss
Accessories -- The Hat should be dark gray or brown. While the Goggles should be primary red or green, which ever was the accent color in the rest of the outfit, with the brass... cant forget the brass. I think they would work best around the hat where the ref image has that cord but I shall bow to the wisdom that is the colorist. ^^

Overall I'm thinking steampunk cowboy so if the colorist or concept artist has any suggestions I am more then willing to work with them.

Weapon -- String (shoe string length) - Rope (jump rope length) - Pretty Rope (large length of rope)

First Stage -- A piece of string, maybe even twine. Very simple in appearance, cream/tan colored, and around shoe string length and diameter - No Power
~ Its a bird... its a plane... its... a piece of string. There is not much that can be done with it. One could, in theory, tie up hands or feet but this is not likely since the strength and length of the string don't really lend itself to hog tying opponents. I guess one could always 'whip' someone with it.... that would be annoying... I guess.

Second Stage -- Rope. Still rather simple in appearance maybe now it braided, cream/tan colored, but approximately jump rope length - Slight Powler
~ It has grown o.O... no really now the string is a rope and it can do things! The rope has the power to warp time. Those that hold on to the rope move faster, as if the world around them has slowed down. This effect affects anyone who grasps the rope, friend or foe, and only lasts 30 seconds total. It leaves no real effects except maybe slight disorientation, like stepping off a moving sidewalk in a airport.

Third Stage -- Embellished Rope OR lasso. Now very intricate, steampunk-e-ish, rope, cream/tan with brass embellishments, of a general cowboy rope length... long - Powerful
~ With great power, come great responsibility... When two parts of the rope connect, such as in a circle or wrapped around someone, it appears to erase the world around the opponent. To the person standing within the boundary of the rope the world, and everything in it, is gone. A white, or dark depending on personality, void is now around the opponent. Leaving them in solitude with only themselves for company, its a great way to work on your meditation. No sounds, sights, smells, touch, ect..., penetrate the 'bubble' of aloneness that is surrounding the person. If the person is not physically restrained one can just walk out of Mordred... sorry.... the boundary of the rope, thereby ending the effect of it. If more then one person tries to get in on this party the spell is broken and the beautiful princess awakens... thats a mix of metaphors >.>. This effect only 'traps' one person at a time, any interferance in the form of another person, item, or attack makes the spell disapear. The effect only lasts 30 seconds, can only effect one person at a time, and while the effect is occurring the Knight can not move as it takes extreme concentration to operate and it leaves him drained by the end of its use. Disorientation would be the main lasting effect of the 'bubble' but each person is different so a different reaction is expected.

Summons: A larger then normal female mountain lion. When attacking the mountain lion pounces upon the opponent, this will knock them flat on their back or front depending on direction of attack. Upon impact with the ground the person will feel an over whelming sense of deja vu or missing time, as if time has skipped a few seconds. This affect lasts five seconds after the mountain lion 'dies'.

Random Personal Info:

His Parents -- Arthur and Sarah Quinton. 50 and 45 respectfully. Computer programmer/inventor and socialite. Nouveau riche due to a wildly successful program and OLD money... like Mayflower old. Pretty much they sneeze gold dust >.>

Quinn -- Due to a sense of 'haven't earned it' Quinn works for a 'living'. He has a part time job at The Bookwyrm, a local bookstore. He lives in a cheap loft style apartment and pays for school with a full scholarship. And only accepts a small monthly allowance of 500 to cover everything else... it was as low as he could convince his parents to go.

He does know how to drive but he doesn't have a car, they are too expensive to drive and maintain. He would rather walk, take a bike, the bus, and is currently looking into a scooter but isn't sure if it is worth it.

What Quinn doesn't know -- His parents started and funded the scholarship Quinn uses for school, although Quinn is not the only recipient of it nor the first, and he does fulfill the requirements of the scholarship. His folks own the apartment building Quinn lives in, as well as one or two others around town, although the landlady is not aware of this. And they already bought him the top of the line scooter and are just waiting for him to 'craigslist/ebay' buy it. Pretty ant' it?

Pets -- Quinn does have a pet and since the apartment building allowed them he brought her with him when he moved out to go to school. She is a Savannah cat named Isis who Quinn adores and would do just about anything for... including asking his parents help if the reason was dire enough.

Still working on him but if you have any suggestions or critiques on what is going on right now I'm all for it heart
PostPosted: Wed Apr 03, 2013 7:59 am


This quest looks pretty solid. I like his hobbies and his knight uniform is really neat! *loves cowboys* I've just got a few questions.

@ Thrill seeker - You didn't really explicitly go into what about this flaw makes it a flaw. Has he had run ins with the law and have a juvi record? Does he often injure himself? Does he get his friends hurt or into trouble dragging them along in his risk taking? All flaws need to be someone that someone could look at someone and dislike them for, so a little expansion on why people would dislike him for it is needed.

@ Knight power - You mention that the person is in their own little world and see/hear/notice nothing. If someone walks next to them would they remain unnoticed or would they show up amid the whiteness? Or more directly - Could someone basically come up and lethally injure or kill the person who is affected by the magic without them noticing or having any way to react and protect themselves?

@ Name - Not really a question, just informing you that there is another civilian character named Quinn. You don't have to change it by any means, I was just making you aware of it because I know some people like having something totally unique.

@ Summon - As the summon is written now I can't stamp it. But since it can't be used until knight stage if you'd rather wait on figuring it out and get it approved later that's alright too. Just as a note though, it shouldn't be able to act like a real animal and continually attack or 'protect'. It should have one offensive attack or one defensive shield/attack and that's it. As your knight weapon and powers are fairly defensive it would be acceptable for the summon to have a offensive attack.

thank you Iris ^^. i think i addressed everything.

i contacted Sylent about the possible name conflict and she said it was ok to use it, the other two that had the name were not the 'name' being used, it was just part of the full name. i am ok with using a name that has been and is currently used as long as the other users are ok with it. ^^ besides quinn is a badass name and well who wouldnt want to use it XD

as for the summons..... i dont really know what to put for the power so if it is possible to leave it blank untill later i would like to. i really only know what kind of animal i want the summons to be ^^' if you have any ideas for the attack im all ears *begs a bit* i have no real ideas at all

oh and um.... do you think the shoes works with the pants? the boots that is? or do you think i might have to go with a diffrent shoe to show off the pants more?
PostPosted: Wed Aug 21, 2013 9:21 am


I am not sure how I missed this before, I'm SO sorry! @_@

The boots and pants look perfectly fine to me. Pluto has a lot of leeway and steampunk cowboy should be fine.

@ Summon possibilities:
Scratch attack - Plan and simple, a non elemental scratch/slash
Pounce - The mountain lion charges at the opponent and slams into them knocking them over. (You could chose for this to cause damage OR keep the character pinned for a short period of time)
You could also try to play on solitude by having the mountain lion's attack somehow single out a character/seperate them from their group. Or something to do with time because mountain lions are very agile. But both of those two are less offensive. Up to you though!

alright tweaked his summons power.... i might have over killed it T.T i kinda was going for a twist on time if the lion nicked her pray but couldnt deside on lost time or repeat of time so i hope it reads that its up to the player and wasnt sure if the effect could last after the summons 'dies'
PostPosted: Mon Sep 02, 2013 7:49 am


I think if you cut the 'nicking' claws part that you'll be okay. With just knock back + a magic effect. Basically something like this maybe?:

"The mountain lion pounces at an opponent, knocking them to the ground. Upon impact with the ground the person will feel an over whelming sense of deja vu or missing time, as if time has skipped a few seconds."
