Diego J Quint

**Diego J Quint** (ディエゴJクイント - Diego J kuinto) is the Helmsman, the resident mechanic, and one of the founding members of the New Dawn Crew, having been present at the crews inception on Rubeck Island.

Born as a member of the Diego family on the island of Tintin, Quint grew up confined to the island and learning the trade of the mechanic through his mother, Jemimah Kelly.

## Appearance

Quint is a tall, lean man with lithe muscular structure. He has dark, caramel coloured skin, and medium length curly hair, with bright hazel brown eyes. He is always seen wearing his trusty gadget satchel, a bag in which he stores all of his various inventions and gadgets. the pouch is a dirty grey with patchwork art making up the form of a hammer on its main flap, a metal belt buckle, keeping the bag firmly shut to all except Quint himself.

Quint is predominantly seen wearing a medium length, high collar jacket, with a plain white vest top beneath (though the colour has been muddied by repeated messes). He wears denim workers overalls beneath, whilst his feet are donned with hard brown boots. Quint also more often than not wears fingerless gloves. One of Quint's prized possessions is his hat, given to him by his mother, its previous owner, who claims that the hat once held her own dreams within it. Quint holds the hat very close to his heart as it reminds of his family, as well as his reason to become a mechanic.

## Personality

Quint's most prominent personality is his childlike sense of awe and amazement at all that he sees around him, likely spurred on by his sheltered upbringing. In spite of his often times foolish and petulant acts, Quint is highly intelligent, as is displayed from his sheer ingenuity and skills in the art of creation. Quint will often put on a front of cowardice to gauge the people around him, as can be seen through his first meetings with many of his future crew mates.

Despite his innocent, boyish looks and usually non-serious demeanour, Quint is in fact one of the more ruthless of the New Dawn Crew, displaying borderline psychotic acts of violence at several points. Quint has also been shown to be quite spiteful towards those who have insulted/harmed him or those he cares about, and his vengeance can manifest from anything as small as his repeated mockery of **Marine Captain Shields**, to his ruthless burning of **Wallace the Madman** (though the latter had notably stabbed and nearly killed Quint in an earlier encounter).

Quint is known to be quite an egotist, with his own pride coming at a very high value to him. Quint's pride has been known to detriment him in many ways, as it has prevented him from properly emotionally connecting in a healthy manner to many of his peers. Whilst Quint does his best to keep his more toxic traits at bay, he has been shown to be prone to jealousy and fits of extreme anxious thoughts, leading to his repeated demonstrations of jealousy and his struggles with paranoia.

## Abilities and Powers

### Swordsmanship

Whilst Quint does not wield a sword (nor display any interest in doing so) he has been shown to use a knife to great effect, dispatching several bandits with his trusty dagger.

### Marksmanship

Quint does not utilise guns in the usual manner, he possesses a unique set of firearms, those being his wrist gauntlets that fire flaming rounds, requiring a cool down between usages. In terms of actual abilities with his gauntlets, Quint has been shown to be very capable at using them, suggesting he is a relatively competent marksman. Aside from weapons, Quint is shown to have a deadly throwing arm, as can be seen through his utilisation of a catapult and his ability, with ranged weapons such as throwing knives and serrated boomerangs.

### Hand to Hand Combat

Quint is not a particularly physically able hand to hand combatant, and will rely on weapons above all else. When forced into melee, Quint is shown to be a poor fighter, as he has low durability and stamina and will often tire quickly.

### Physical Strength

Quint has displayed reasonably impressive strength feats, as he is capable of running at full speed whilst carrying large and heavy equipment like metal and wood.

### Agility

Quint is a fast sprinter, able to cover over 20 feet in a few seconds. In spite of his strong throwing arm, Quint notably lacks good upper body strength, something clearly displayed in his inability to mount a small fence to invade the Rubandits' camp, even with the assistance of a trampoline.

### Endurance

Quint is highly susceptible to physical damage and as such will often play the role of support to other, stronger allies in a fight. However, Quint's lack of physical endurance is matched by his sheer tenacity (and often times spite), that has been known to bring him to victory, even against more physically durable fighters.

### Weapons

Quint has been shown to utilise a wide array of Gadgets, his most prominently used being:

* Serrated Boomerangs
* Fire Gauntlets
* Catapult
* Ice Knife
* Dagger
* Flame chambers

## Relationships

### Crew

**Drate Pejerry** - Among all of his allies throughout the years, Quint considers Drate to be the closest thing he considers to be a friend. Having intially been scared of the large fishman, Quint managed to form a strong bond with soon to be 'best bud' in the months they spent together on Rubeck. Quint is highly protective of Drate, with him being likely to threaten any and all who discriminate against him. Unfortunately, Quint's ego leads him to often patronise Drate. It is questionable how healthy Quint's attachment is to Drate, as it is possible that he values Drate primarily as figure who will always marvel in his spectacle, as opposed to a truly equal friend.

**Warren Albright** - Quint finds Warren to be an intriguing man, having bore witness to his tactical and physical abilities in times of battle. He has a large amount of faith in Warren as a leader, and will often turn to him for orders when unsure of himself, viewing the man as a teacher of sorts. In spite of the admiration he holds for his captain, Quint finds himself suspicious of Warren and his motives, partly because of Warren having a sketchy past. Like with most of his other crewmates, Quint seems to keep Warren at a safe distance, not allowing himself to grow too attached to the man who leads him.

**Enrayus Vaanan** - Of all of his crew-mates, Quint's relationship with his vice-captain is his most volatile. Quint's relationship with Enrayus started on good terms, with the latter saving Quint from an early encounter with a coastal hunter. However as time went on, he developed a strong jealousy towards Enrayus because of his regular display of strength and courage. This envy can often lead to the two butting heads, with Quint spitefully feeling the need to remind Enrayus of 'his place', this likely being a method of coping with the reality that Enrayus is the kind of man Quint strives to be.

**Connie Bonnie** - Connie and Quint share many similarities, and as such Quint finds himself bonding with her more than arguably any of his new crewmates. Quint often found it difficult in his childhood to balance out his playful and serious side, however meeting Connie has finally given him a companion alongside he can both goof off with and talk too seriously. This perception Quint has of her tends to leave him awe struck at her additional wisdom and lack of social skills, the latter likely preventing him from feeling the same jealousy for her as he does towards Enrayus.

**Ash Reid** - In there limited interactions, Quint seems to harbour a general sense of indifference towards Ash. Whilst not especially against Ash, he repeatedly makes it clear that he doesn't want to bother pursuing Ash as a member of the crew. This disinterest could be motivated by many of Quint's personal defects, though which motivates his relationship with Ash is as of yet unknown.

**Blair Sonova** - The latest member of the New Dawn Crew, Quint seems to like Blair, finding his attitude amicable and his skills substantial, enough for him to recommend Blair for the role of Crew Cook. When Blair's place on the crew seemed uncertain, Quint offered words of support to him, suggesting that he cares for Blair's emotional state to some degree.

**Percival Van Wolfstein** -

**Cooper Cage** -

**Ford** -

### Family

**Diego Yannathan** - Yannathan is Quint's father and the latters namesake. Quint has a strong respect for his father, and actively takes comfort in his presence, likely because of his fathers role in his early development. Quint will often think of his father in times of uncertainty to bring himself comfort and even used his fathers influence to offer support to the grieving **Queen**. Upon Quint's departure from Tintin Island, Yannathan was tearful but happy that his son was pursuing what he wanted, giving him a hug and telling him to stay safe.

**Jemimah Kelly** - As Quint's mother, Jemimah is close to him in at least some aspects, and is shown to care for him and his wellbeing. However, there is something beneath the surface to their relationship that creates a visible strain between the two of them, with Quint even avoiding her when possible and being known to chain smoke only following an interaction with his mother.

**Diego J Lenah** - Quint has a typical sibling rivalry with Lenah, a fact that is amusing in light of there rather substantial age gap. Lenah does display concern over her brothers well being, as well as annoyance over his personality flaws when talking to Connie.

### Allies/ Friends

**Mike Mann** - One of Quint's childhood friends, Mike was the starry eyed little brother to Quint's problematic middle child.

**Marley** - One of Quint's childhood friends, Marley played the role of Big Sister in many ways to the much more rambunctious Quint.

**Adah Xix** - The former resident medic of Tintin Island, Quint knew Adah better than most due to his frequent visits to the Hospital as a child due to antics gone wrong. As an adolescent, Quint would spend time helping Adah out in gathering materials off shore, both due to his fondness of boats, and his familiarity with Adah herself.

**Sandy &** **Matthew** -- Quint encountered Sandy and Matthew ten years prior to the story, on a family visit to Minion Island. Whilst he only knew him for a brief time, he left a strong impression on the two, as they would collectively get up to antics together, specifically an incident involving fireworks. Quint's impression on the two was so strong, that they remembered his name even ten year after seeing him last.

**Glory Mamba** - Quint had yet to have any significant interactions with Glory Mamba, mostly due to her only recently having joined the crew. The few times that they have interacted, Quint has maintained a confused and questioning apporach to the mysterious Amazon, calling into question her light clothing as well as her damged appearance. This concern over the young woman suggests that he does not dislike her, a positive sign for any future interactions between the two.

## History

#### Past

Quint was born in the year 1419 on Tintin Island to Diego Yannathan and Jemimah Kelly. Growing up on the island he was friends with a few of the locals such as Mike Mann and Marley. At some point in his childhood, his family paid a visit to the nearby island of Minion. During this trip, Quint formed a temporary bond with two young boys named Sandy and Matthew who were local to the island, and the trio got up to numerous shenanigans whilst in each others company, most notably an incident having something to do with fireworks.

Quint's early life was often marred with work, as his mother would often pressurize him into perfecting his natural ability with mechanics. This pressure lessened somewhat overtime, possibly influenced by the birth of Quint's younger sister Lenah. Sometime prior to the events of the story and his first meeting with Drate, Quint was able to get a job working as the assitant to the islands doctor Adah. Despite his time working under her, Quint does not seem to have retained or gained any particular affinity with medical practice.

Several months prior to the start of the Campaign, Quint was out with Adah searching for medical components. It was whilst this was happening that the two of them stumbled across the floating body of Drate Pejerry in the water. Though initially afraid, Quint was eventually convinced by Adah to fish the body out of the water and bring it back to Tintin for treatment. Later, when Drate was finally awake, Adah called upon Quint to again help her with the injured fishman, Quint remaining terrified in the process. Eventually Adah's patience with the young man came to a head and she locked him in the room alone with the fishman. Though what happened next is unknown, both Drate and Quint soon became best friends, to the extent that in the following months Quint began to help Drate with the Construction of his ship.

Only a few weeks after this, Quint's former employer Adah would depart Tintin to join an unknown crew.

Several months into the construction of the ship that would soon be known as the "Coretta Skies", construction on the ship was halted when both Quint and Drate were witness to a man seemingly falling out of the sky and crashing down onto their ship. This man was found broken and confused by his surroundings, introducing himself as Enrayus. After some suspicion and questioning directed towards the stranger, Drate and Quint opted to travel to the nearby Island of Rubeck to seek out medical treatment now that Adah was no longer on the Island.
