## Introduction

*Howdy y'all, the name is Quincey H. Aelius. 24 year old human vampire hunter and gunslinger extraordinaire. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. While i was originally born in Frosthelm I've been living on my own since I was 14 out in the wilds of Avandra and the continent beyond.*

*Under normal circumstances, I'm liable to spend my days hunting undead with my beagles, Jack and Russell, riding my trusty steed, Apple, and trying my best to save up for a ring nice enough to propose to my sweetheart, Jolene Free... But the expedition to uncover the secrets of Skyward has me concerned, what with the potential power such secrets can hold, and the hands set to try and get a hold of them.*

*One such set of hands belong to a vampire lord entwined in my family's history. I only ever knew him as a story but recently he made himself... a very real presence in my life. He may have been the one to pick this fight, but one way or another I'll see it through to the end*

## Description

### Appearance

Quincey is 5’11” with lean muscle, wavy blonde hair, and dark-blue eyes (like a summer night sky). He bares a dark-red scar that runs horizontal across the bridge of his nose and onto either side of his face, and a fainter one the runs across his lip that would go unnoticed if you weren’t looking for it. He carries a six-shot revolver on his left side, an armguard on his right hand, and a few other tools of his trade, including small steel-cased journal given to him by Joleyne, which hides a hidden wooden stake released with a turn of the metal dial on it’s front.

## Story

### Background

Born in Frosthelm, Bas Righ to a Nouveau riche solicitor, Jonathan Aelius, and his wife turned assistant, Mina. Quincey was raised as a proper young gentleman, but always struggled against the constraints of his family’s position due to an adventurous and free-spirited nature. One day, while cleaning the attic of his house as a punishment, he found a series of journals, letters, and newspaper articles collected by his mother detailing a battle his parents and their friends fought years ago with a dreadful vampiric lord

Quincey heard bits and pieces of the story throughout his life, including that he’d been named after Quincey Moure, an ally of his parents that had fallen in battle. His mother jokingly said he’d inherited their comrade’s rambunctious spirit along with his name, but Quincey had never known the entirety of the events until that fateful reading. While his parents were content to live a peaceful life, the knowledge that vampires haunted the night, preying on innocent souls, was something Quincey couldn’t stand. And so, he ran away from home at the age of 14 and set out for Douglas against the wishes of his parents on account of rumors he’d heard of vampire activity. While he occasionally sends postcards to let his parents know he’s alive, that was the last time he’d seen or talked to either of them.

Now 24 years old, Quincey has made a name and a living for himself as a premier hunter of vampires, monsters, and violent criminals out in the wild. His strong sense of justice has led him into conflict with authorities as much as he’s helped them, going so far as to be labeled an outlaw in some places and a hero in others.

Of all his adventures however, the one that’s changed his life the most was three years ago when he rescued a young woman by the name of Joleyne Free, a gentle, softspoken history buff who works as an assistant/apprentice to her history professor aunt Abigail. After the ordeal, Joleyene and Quincey began courting one another, while she considers herself more of a city girl and typically doesn’t travel the way Quincey does, the two keep in touch with constant letters when he’s out on the hunt and the city she lives in might be the closest thing to a fixed address Quincey will ever have. The two have wanted to get married for some time, but have been hesitant on account of the fact that she’s a Dhampir and others wouldn’t approve of their love.
