[QUOTE="Puppy Kicker, post: 1694779, member: 20284"] The following is the character background presented by Quinton's owner. [B]Quinton Stark III Character Background[/B] Quinton Stark III was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Born to an elite family in New York he was raised in the lap of luxury. Quinton went to the best schools, never wanted for anything, and has always known the right people. Ever since he was young Quinton liked to take things from people and make them happy that they had lost it. His Uncle John Stark took the youngster under his wing teaching him all manner of games of chance and skill. Even in grammar school Quinton applied his uncle’s teachings to win money and things from his friends. In middle school Quinton found billiards. The boy loved the game and excelled at it learning from his uncle tricks he would never teach to anyone. The games only escalated in intensity from there but Quinton learned that winning the game didn’t always let him get ahead. Losing to the right people could be beneficial as well. With high school came games many people referred to as games of chance but Quinton knew better. The cards were random yes, but his opponents never stood a chance. Poker was his game of choice but in many seedy New York gambling halls he won cash in craps, roulette, and any other game he could get himself into. It was here that he learned of the opportunity presented just a few hours away in New Jersey called Atlantic City. With many different fake ID’s and barley present parents Quinton nearly raided Atlantic City winning and spending tens of thousands of dollars all before the age of 18. Quinton however thinks of all this as trivial. His one crowning achievement is in a simple game of chance he played out over a night with a professor. The physics professor had a gambling problem and Quinton knew it so he learned where he played and in one night cleaned the man of all of his money down to his daughter’s college fund. Completely shattered and shamed the man begged Quinton to take mercy on him. Quinton told the professor that he could have all he had lost back if he helped him gain admittance into the dean of admissions office late that night. He did and Quinton stuck to his word. Quinton made back every cent selling finals to many of the wealthy students. Quinton has moved from home just last year to attend William and Mary. He spends his days in class in and out of sleep and spends his nights in hidden gaming halls from Virginia Beach to Richmond. When he can’t find a game to involve himself in he can be found hustling in pool halls. [B]Allegiances: [/B] Family [B]Backgrounds: [/B] Defeat (1) A few months ago Quinton was in a game of poker during which he was attempting to impress a woman he intended to bed, Vanessa Steel. After hours of playing he raised the stakes with a few of the players and lost utterly. Because of his boasting and bravado this made him look like a fool to the woman and all present. He has sworn to win her at all costs, at least for a night. Vow (3) Two years ago Quinton’s Uncle John was found dead on the streets outside his Manhattan penthouse having fallen twelve stories from his balcony.
