Quinn is a charecter roleplayed by Flamecloud in the Tests III.

## Appearance

Quinn is a small, lightly built smokey grey tabby with greyish green eyes. He has one scar on his shoulder, which was given to him by Kallen after he killed his step-father. He also has several scars on his left side from a particularly bad battle while he was in the army, and his right ear is badly shredded from an attack by his frustrated step-father due to his lack of enthusiasm for battle. He also aquires several scars on his right flank from his fight with the mutant dear in the 1st test.

## Personality

Quinn is very loyal, although he is skittish and fearful, even bordering on cowardly. He hates seeing cats hurt, regardless of his opinion of them, and also strives to please everyone. He is very self doubting, and spends a lot of time regretting mistakes he's made. He can be a bit of a goof ball when he feels relaxed, and likes to make people laugh.
He is afraid of cats who have served in the hanigan military b/c he hated being in the military and deserted with the help of his military.

## Relationships

**Friends**-

Willow- Willow is the first cat who Quinn talks to upon entering the tests.She notices early on that he is self-conscious of his shoulder scar, but is kind enough not to comment on it. She teases him for accidentally eating sand, asking him if he thought it would taste like prey. Then, to feel "more dignified", she eats a bit of sand herself. When she sees that Quinn is upset about making Pepper unhappy, she tries to chear him up and they descuss potential solutions to the riddle. When Quinn is upset later, she wonders if she should try to comfort him. When Willow is feeling guilty for bringing the threat of Spike and Flower to the group, Quinn tries to comfort her.

Padmé- Padmé is the second cat who Quinn talks to. She points out to Quinn that pepper the spice and pepper the vegetable are the same plant. She also asks Quinn, Pepper, and Willow if they would like to stick together for the tests. When she hears Jason asking about Quinn, she says "All that you need to know is that he’s a kind and honorable cat."

Pepper-Another cat who Quinn is developing a friendship with. He asks her if she is named after the spice or the food, although she doesn't know. Willow then dubs her Pepper the vegetable spice. Like Quinn, she is mystified by the sand, and bumps into him while dancing in it. She is worried about upsetting him, but Quinn doesn't mind. She thinks about how she feels like she had known Quinn and the other for a long time, despite not knowing them for long. When she sees Quinn get hurt by the deer thingy, she feels "a sudden burst of feel and rage." She then attacks the deer. Quinn is releived when she is not badly hurt and kills the beast. She then asks Quinn if he is okay and keeps an eye out for cobwebs for his wounds. Pepper smiles when she sees Quinn talking to Adara, and asks him if he thinks that knowledge could be the answer to the question. When Quinn is hesitant about the answer, she seems to feel sad, and goes to talk to Padmé, and says that Adara is probably great company. This makes Quinn very sad and confused, and he hopes he can fix whatever he did wrong. When Jason asks about Quinn, Pepper tells him his name and says that yes, she thinks that she and Quinn are friends. After the new hint, Quinn tells her that he think her answer might be right. When her guess is wrong, he tries to comfort her. When the cave starts collapsing, he warns her to be careful. Later, in the bubble, she laughs at his failed fishing attempts.

Lily-Right before the first test began, Lily approached the group an introduced herself. Quinn gave her a friendly greeting. She tries to get Quinn to open up after he is spooked by Malley.

Adara-When Quinn remarks that he hates the second part of the first test, Adara responds, "Don’t we all? This is logic. Some of the strongest cats don’t have even an ounce of logic. No offense, I mean.” Quinn introduces himself, and tells her that if she thinks she has a good guess, she should go for it. Adara compliments him on his attack on the deer, and asks where he is from. Quinn then inquires if she is alright, since the deer injured her as well. Quinn tries his best to comfort her as she stresses about her guess, worrying that it might not be correct. When Adara's wound starts bleeding again, Quinn panics and tries to stop the bleeding. He then tries to comfort her after her anwer is incorrect, telling her that they can still get the cats back. She later runs another idea by him, then tells him that he doesn't have to worry hurting her feelings if he thinks its wrong. When Quinn is upset about having been revived while his siblings are dead, she asks him if he is okay. She also laughs at Quinn's lack of fishing skills. When Jason's true personality is revealed, Quinn pledges to help her deal with him.

**Friendly**:

Rainfern-Quinn saved her stick, and they talked for a bit. They get along well.

Wraith-They get along well, and when Malley and Revenant attack her, he goes to help her. After the battle, she thanks him.

Solaria-He's greatful that she broke up the fight between the two groups, and sort of trusts her, although Haningans make him nervous.

Aronia- They talk a bit andd get along well.

Dux-Likes them well enough, doesn't know them too well yet, but thinks they seem nice.

**Nuetral**:

Karinadi-Was friendly with her until her betrayal. He's not too quick to hate her, since he doesn't know much about her.

Malley-Malley was initially a cat he disliked, since she was rude to his friends and then later attacked Wraith with Reven. However, after he tells her about his past, he thinks maybe she seems to regret her actions.

Crypto-They're groups are working together, but they haven't really interacted yet.

Pyr-Doesn't 100% trust Pyr, and want to know what the tom did to make Sapphira hate him.

**Dislikes**:

Flower and Spike- He dislikes them because they made Willow afraid and are trying to hurt her.

Aliza-He's heard too many stories about her to trust her, and doesn't like how she flirted with his friends. Is also a little terrified of her.

Revenant-Dislikes Reven's bloodthirstyness, although he does have some respect for the tom. He feels as though he learned something from him, but still doesn't like him.

Jason-Dislikes him because he is trying to control Adara.

## History

Quinn was born to a rather intense family living in Haninga. He had one older sibling (Kallen) and two littermates (Ash and Dumpling). Kallen was born before his parents enlisted in the army, along with another kit named Jace who had an unfortunate accident involving a lava river and faulty parental supervision. After that, his parents both enrolled in the army. About two months after his mother went on a mission to another village, Quinn and his littermates were born. As soon as they were old enough to be weaned, Quinn’s mother left them in the care of Kallen, who was about a year old at the time. Kallen did his best to raise his younger siblings, since his mother was very dedicated to her duty and no one had actually informed Quinn’s stepfather of his new stepchildren, but he was hardly an adult himself. Between four hungry bellies and lava rivers, it was very hard for them to find enough food. So, as soon as the kits were a year old, they all enlisted in the military. Quinn was not a fan of military life. He hated lizards, hated fighting, and also was unfortunate enough to be assigned under his stepfather, who quickly figured out that Quinn, Ash, and Dumpling were not his children. Quinn was determined to prove himself to his (step)father, but kept falling short. He lacked the broad shoulders of his mother, and it was clear when he stood next to his towering stepfather that they were not related. Battle after battle, he hung back, terrified at the prospect of killing or being killed. As the scars on his sibling’s strong shoulders tallied up, his stepfather grew less and less patient with his stepson. If there was a dangerous scouting mission, Quinn was chosen for it. If someone had to be bait, it was Quinn. Quinn knew his stepfather was trying to get him killed, but he did not say anything. He was not who his family wanted him to be, and he thought that he deserved to suffer for it. His siblings, however, disagreed. Although they liked making their father proud, they quickly grew to despise him for his treatment of Quinn. They hatched a plan to escape from Haninga, the army, and their terrible parents. One night, they snuck out of the camp, and headed for the border. They almost made it, but their father caught scent of them and followed them. He told them that they were to come back to the army and serve out their enlistment, or he would kill them himself. And so they fought. It was four against one, but their father was a seasoned warrior. Dumpling was quickly cooked in a pool of lava, and Kallen was severely injured. Quinn held back, fear and self doubt freezing his paws to the ground. But, as he watched his stepfather pin Ash to the ground, he lunged forward, knocking his father to the ground. He could have stopped there, or injured his father so that they could escape. But, instead, he pushed him into the lava, watching with an odd pleasure as the other tom burned to death. Kallen gave him his first shoulder scar, and they escaped to outside of the districts. However, the siblings had made the ill advised choice of leaving during Polia. Ash fell sick with the strike, and begged Kallen and Quinn to leave him before they caught it as well. Quinn quickly agreed, but Kallen told him to go without him. His injuries from the battle had been slowing them down, and he wanted his younger brother to have a shot at getting to another district before they all got sick. Quinn was torn, but Kallen refused to leave Ash’s side. So, Quinn went to the Glade, still haunted by the faces of his brothers and the image of his stepfather dying at his paw. When Pilate offered him a safe life, he quickly agreed. When he heard of the tests, his first instinct was to say no. But he couldn’t help but think that he didn’t deserve the easy life he had. His siblings had done well in the military, and had only left because he was too weak, too merciful, too scared. They had only died because of him. And he could hardly even call himself a peace keeper, after killing his own stepfather. So, he volunteered for the tests, hoping to become a son that maybe his parents could be proud of, and in the hope that he might repay the world for his siblings’s sacrifices.
