The Basics...

Nickname:

Quinn
Dr. Quentin
Trav

Age: 28
Birthday: Spring 9th
Gender: Male
Occupation: Doctor


Appearance...

Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 210 lbs
Unique Traits: Thin faint claw marks mark Quinn's arms, hands, and shoulders, though all are faint and clearly were not deep to start with.
Appearance: A young man entering into his middle age, Quinn has a highly athletic and decently defined build, standing several inches over the average man, though far from towering usually. His jet black hair is kept cut short in a formal manner and brushed to the left with a natural part on his right side. Nearing his temples his roots begin to grey out before his hair stops. His features are somewhat rough and squared, strongly suggesting a German origin or at least a lineage hailing from a much colder and rougher area of the world, though his tanned light skin seems surprisingly soft given his more angular bone structure. Piercing blue eyes are one of his more notable features, their colorful irises framed by strongly defined eyebrows and black rimmed round glasses.

Quinn manages and keeps up a very fit build, though for the most of it doesn't show when he is wearing clothing, giving him generally a much gentler and moderate appearance. And while certainly one could claim he is strong, his strength comes more from many hours spent running and moving about with heavy equipment for long periods of time or having to hike about a rough rural landscape, less from training and building, giving him a gentler toning rather than sharp definition, something perhaps more familiar to anyone accustomed to a life upon Tranquil.

Generally speaking Quinn has preferred a simple formal shirt and tie matched with blue grey slacks and a wide black belt and sturdy black boots. Over this in the colder seasons is a light blue coat or white falling to about his ankles, buttoned in the front on left side and with straps running over his shoulders connecting to his belt, easily usable to attach bags of equipment or whatever apparatus or items he might need in his work or where he plans to travel onto. A last piece of the outfit, donned when he is working, is a pair of rubber blue gloves, and of course his aforementioned glasses which he is never seen without.

Personality: For the most part Quinn is a sensitive, though very caring, kind of person. Somewhat timid at heart, he hates becoming involved directly in conflict and has somewhat of a squeamish and cowardly take towards things, more likely to give up early or try to avoid someone rather then risk injury or angering someone dangerous. He isn't hard to intimidate and gets easily scared by others more imposing than him when pressed upon, often wary even of those with a simply more rough demeanor. Naturally a more submissive natured being, he often subconsciously gravitates towards others to protect him or at least remain by his side and support him, and he is easily injured by others actions and words towards him, often without even thinking to resist or defend himself either.

Though what can be said of Quinn's emotions being easily affected in those manners applies to many of his other emotions. A loving and passionate soul at times, he often to seeks help others and ease their ills. At times he can be a bit awkward with his words and feel odd around others, this feeling often being exaggerated when he begins tripping over his German accent, but overall he finds comfort in being around others and supporting them in return. A lover at heart, he shows great faction towards those close to him and often is a cheery person with an easy smile and simple loves and needs. The happiness of a companion, the well being of a friend, helping someone who is injured heal, helping someone who is downtrodden lift up their spirits, even just the simple act of playing his music, these are what brings him joy in life.

Of course this means Quinn is also liable to fret and worry when such things are not possible. The distress, unhappiness, or even simply bad moods of others often causes distress in himself and an attempt to help in whatever manner he can, and when things go wrong, Quinn is quick to put the blame on himself and try to fix things even if he's working alone. He may be quick to cop out of going into a mine or trying a rodeo, but despite his insistence others rest and never overwork himself, he is quick to spend sleepless nights trying to fix problems. Of late the Harvest Goddesses plight has been his latest concern, and though he isn't outfitted with land or farming skills to help, he's quick to offer where he can or spend countless hours worrying about it anyways.


Background...

Family:

Hanz Quentin (Father, Deceased)
Edith Wolf (Mother)
Niklas Quentin (Brother)

History: While certainly far from rich, Travis Quentin certainly was born first into a well-off family and given all the love and support he could have asked for. A quiet boy when he was young, he wasn't always the best at making friends or getting out, but he enjoyed reading, spending time with animals, and being outside under the trees reading. If he struggled to get along with the other kids and was shy around strangers though, when Travis was in school he excelled quite well. His parents pushed him to take his work seriously, and were always there to help him when he needed it, eager to respond to any questions or wants for further learning and scholarly advances in the hopes that he would grow up smart and with a good job.

And certainly it stuck. Polite, soft-spoken, and intelligent, Travis was a teacher's pet, and for the most part he didn't mind it, spending long hours studying and doing projects to make his parents or his teachers happy. His grades were certainly always good, and he lived to make them proud, even if their pride tended to bring the envy of other students, or the distaste. Not everyone saw the benefits of being liked by the teachers, and some even scorned it. He didn't mind really, but... bruises and nasty comments tended to make him hesitant to be around others, instead secluding himself in the library or the empty classrooms of teachers when he wasn't in a class.

Perhaps it was this sense of comfort in small numbers of people that led Travis, or Quentin, shortened as Quinn, as he preferred being called after finding far too many more... unsavory sorts shared his name, to first take interest in Tranquil Island. Practicing medicine and becoming a doctor had seemed natural after all, it was one of the first jobs people pushed towards you when you were top of the class. And honestly, Quinn didn't mind it either, more then it paying well he just enjoyed helping people and hated to see people sick and injured. Knowing he could help keep everyone healthy and save lives brought a certain glow to him, and while medical school took him away from home and a young baby brother, sleepless nights of study would pay off in a license and degree.

The question had been only where to take it and where to practice really. The big cities made money, but that wasn't what Quinn really cared about. He wanted somewhere cozy where he could live in peace and do his good services to others. And when he heard about Tranquil Island and their current lack of any medical practitioners he was more then happy to take up the offer, pleased when he realized he would get his own office and living space to run things. It was far more then he had expected, and he settled quickly into the homey atmosphere.

Before long it felt like Quinn had always been there, and when things fell apart, he stayed to try and keep things together, more then happy to help try to make things inviting and entice others in with hopeful wishes and a bright smile. New life was what Tranquil needed, and if he could do his part to help to that end, then he would surely try.
