Quinton Ross
Appearance:
Standing at an above average height of 6'1", coupled with the lengthiest, lankiest arms and legs you'll probably ever see, one would not expect a person of his body type to carry such a supple face. With his hair consistently frizzed up to 'bedhead' status, the mess on top certainly contrasts with the inviting face downstairs. His thick eyebrows and coiled lashes accentuate his hazel eyes well, giving them a tender look which is easy to look at. Pink full lips, which he has a tendency to regularly moisten with his tongue whenever they feel dry, and a faded, soft moustache fall nicely on his facial features. A dark spot to the left of his nose also presents a complimentary touch.
Aside from having a svelte figure, Quinn is lean, but thin in a toned way. Having a lousy eating schedule, often including many skipped meals, has kept his body from charging all the physical training into any bulk muscle, instead leaving him stuck with small, but strengthened ones. Like his limbs, with a hand quite large compared to the norm, his fingers tend to look oddly elongated, but thin; on the strange line of piano-fingers and weird, bony twigs. Do not be fooled by his appearance, the flimsy, fragile framework is his perfect camouflage in throwing his opponents off when in combat.
Now, let's take a look into this fellow's wardrobe! You open the doors and (insert unimpressed sound effect here) come face to face with an array of blacks, whites, and greys. Not having an extremely fascinated eye for fashion, Quinn sticks to neutral coloured hoodies, cardigans, crewnecks etc., which are normally paired with jeans, athletic bottoms or gray sweats. He'd pick comfort over style any day.
Guardian Mark:
Beginning near his elbow and running up his left arm, almost up to his neck and his back shoulder blade, the engraved dragon tattoo is a mark he'd never really paid any special attention to. Maintaining the knowledge that it's there to forever bound him a Guardian, Quinn doesn't love, nor dislike the emblem, but definitely appreciates the fact that it's exclusively his and no one has one that looks exactly like it. Covering it up out of shame is an action that has never crossed his mind even once and its existence on his skin has honestly, never bothered him.
Random Facts:
~ As messy and unruly as it is, his hair is surprisingly soft and silky. If you ever happen to run a finger over his head, just trying to fight the urge to commence into uncontrollable scalp-smothering action is a tough task that is hard to overcome.
~ If you ever catch him smiling, which isn't too rare, you'll probably see a likeable little dimple on his right cheek.

Role: Male #2
History:
Coming from a not so child friendly home, housing a violent father and a defencelessly, meek mother, Quinn's childhood wasn't as bright as other kids. No playgrounds, giggles, or even inanimate toy companionship, the poor adolescent was plummeted into the reality of this cruel world at such a delicate age. Never coming to grasp the reason behind why his father behaved so vigorously, what he did come to know, was that he had to defend his mother under all circumstances. As soon as the door unlocked at seven, thumping feet would be heard scrambling to the kitchen only to cease when the boy was by his mom. The beast would attack on a weekly basis, mother and son often taking their equal shares of beatings. No matter how hard or how painful his injuries may have been, he held back all his tears and continued to act as a human shield for the only other person he loved, taking every landing blow with unbelievable determination and admirable bravery.
Skipping school was not unusual for Quinn and his mother's excuse was because of how abused he looked after every bashing. Though she could not bare to see her own child having to face such a monster on a day to day basis, Suran, Quinn's mother, did not dare disobey or fight back against the authority and wrath of her husband. All she could do was weep while she cleaned her son's cuts and bruises with a wet rag, hushing Quinn's attempted words of comfort in fear of hearing them and not being able to stop her crying.
They hadn't been well off to start with. Even before he was birthed into life, Suran and Quinton's father were already in a physically unhealthy relationship and an added family member was just an unfortunate addition. The couple hadn't ever married and did not plan to. You could call the mother dumb, but her severe terror of her own spouse has abandoned her on an unmoving train towards a gruesome existence.
Desperate to save not only himself, but his mother as well from their homicidal lifestyles, he agreed to meet up with a group of strangers who had promised that they would rescue his mom in return for his service. Little did he know, the exchange was to be a demon-slaying Guardian. Now in his second year in Greenwoods Prep, with elders uniformly reassuring him that his beloved parent is safe, he takes great amounts of ease in being aware that he got Suran out of the hell hole she had been barely surviving in and hopes that she knows that he is doing well. The thought of being with his mother brings his heart to ache everyday, but his past has only pushed him to become the best Guardian he could possibly be, striving to help the weak, the sickly, and the delicate.
Personality:
Branching from a crappy historical background, it's depressing how most children would end up as bad seeds under such conditions, but of course, out of all the misfit batches, there are the uncommon ones who turn out to be pretty decent people, Quinton being one of them. He's the quote-on-quote nice guy. Correction, reserved nice guy. Quite easily approachable, he can hold gracious conversations with anyone who chooses to converse with him and expect his face to be lit with nervous chuckling and grinning the entire time. It probably won't matter what your talking about, but whatever it is, you'll have his full and relentless attention. The topic may be the most sleep attracting theme in the universe, but the concentration he's willing to give will make you feel like your talking about something important and worthwhile.
Childlike. In the romance section to be more exact. He'd never once touched or seen a girl in the light of the word 'crush' in his nineteen year life span and is not too eager in doing so. Pretty females make him twitchy and forgetful, while skin to skin contact can send him into a fit of apologies. Like touching the opposite gender was a crime all on its own. Quinn prefers to distance himself from relationships, even when the opposition already thinks they are close. A part of him wants to be able to surpass that barrier, but at the same time he's too afraid to jump over it because of the haunting thought that he may carry hurtful traits from his father, which pop out every once in a while.
Restricted from seeing his mother while staying at the school, he sometimes get into heated arguments with authorities on being able to go out and meet his mom, even just to see her from a distance. This sends him back to his room in a flurry of rage, which results in destructive behaviours, such as punching holes into the walls or destroying things inside his space. These meltdowns are short lived, only lasting a couple of minutes, which results with him laying in a pile of clutter while staring thoughtfully into the ceiling. Times like these are when he needs a person to come and offer him the love that he'd been deprived off for so many years. The parental affection that he was never able to experience, a feeling he craves unendingly.
Always one to offer a hand, he doesn't turn down favours asked of him and approaches people who are in need of assistance. Therefore, he is often called upon to aid newcomers in getting around the school or even an extra body to tend to utility chores around the school buildings. Though he isn't even asked to, you may catch him helping the caretakers in the school whether it's raking leaves or taking out the trash, Quinn is always someone you can bet is willing to do it.
Fears:
Probably one of his greatest concerns is never getting the chance to meet with Suran again. After pulling her from her treacherous past, he dreams to live a happy life with his mom, if ever it is possible. All he's ever wanted was to have at least one more chance to embrace her again. The type that makes you feel special and cared for. The one that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside and you don't ever want to break away. The feeling of being a kid again, wrapped in the arms of a loving mother, Quinn wants to re-experience that, even if it's for a brief moment.
Lurking and threatening in the backs of his mind, thoughts of turning out like his inhuman dad is fear that will forever besiege his very being and shroud him in relational walls that he will need to break down on his own. Powering his personality motives everyday, Quinn strives to be a good person and stays away from pernicious actions or words and dislikes anyone who resembles his father in anyway. Oftentimes being the first to stand up against a bully, he holds his ground well and does not cower under physical pain that he's basically become well aware is going to be a danger in any given situation.
