Christopher Quinn

in five words: artistic, loyal, creative, hard-working, funny
in detail:
Chris is generally a pretty happy and outgoing guy for the most part. He has no problem with acting like an idiot just to make someone laugh if the occasion calls for it. And he’s got a tendency to blurt out random things that sound much dirtier than they actually are. It’s all part of his charm really. But at the same time, he’s a stubborn bastard about certain things. One, in particular, is guaranteed to piss him off royally just by being mentioned in his presence. So do yourself a favor and never bring up the bastard that is his father around him and things will be good.

history:
Christopher was always the kid that sat in the back of class, drawing in the margins of his notebooks. It was rare that a single homework assignment got turned in without at least one illustration added to it. But it kept him out of trouble for the most part so the teachers just let him get on with it.

From the age of five, the only time he ever really got in trouble was when someone was picking on his baby brother. That was all it took for him to go from a quiet, reserved kid, to one that was throwing punches before he ever stopped to ask what had happened. That kind of behavior all stemmed back to losing his father at the age of five. Obviously the bastard didn’t think that taking care of his wife and kids was the right thing to do, so Christopher took on that role himself. Or as much of it as he could at that age. The older he got, the more it developed though. After growing up watching his mother work two jobs to keep them fed and in a decent house, Chris dropped out of school in his junior year and went to work. All he really got were shitty jobs with even shittier pay, but at least it took some of the pressure off his mother. Eventually it lead to an apprenticeship at a local tattoo parlor and started him off on his current career path. And if he sometimes got roped into painting stuff for the walls of his brother’s classroom, well…it was his baby brother asking after all.

When it comes to family, that means everything to Christopher. His mother is pretty much a saint as far as he’s concerned and, even with his quirks, his brother is one of his best friends. Other than that, he tends to keep most people at arms length. It takes a bit for people to actually get close enough to be considered a real friend. The people he works with are still just acquaintances really. Even if they look like old friends to people on the outside. If you’re willing to put in the time and get past his walls though, he’s a good man to have on your side. And he’s definitely loyal to the people he cares about no matter what.

Love Life: This one might be tough. Because of his close relationship with his brother, Christopher needs someone that’s going to be understanding about coming in second sometimes. Family comes first for him and if Nathan needs something, he’s going to be there to help him get it. It won’t happen all the time though. Chris is definitely committed to the people he gets close to and cares about. Can be male or female.
The Baby Brother: nathanquinn; A year younger and more trusting when it comes to people in general. Nathan’s been his best and longest friend and Chris definitely has a rather strong protective streak when it comes to him. They live together in an apartment at Westwood Meadows
The Half-Sister: whitetowngirl; 22, the spawn of Chris and Quinn's father and his secretary. Christopher is willing to at least try getting to know her since she's family, but that's about it right now. We'll see.
The Bastard: open; Christopher refuses to talk about him. Ever. It’s just that simple.
The Best Friend: open; Someone who was willing to put in the time and effort of getting to know Christopher extremely well. It wouldn’t have been easy all the time and there would definitely have been some bumps along the road, but now they’re almost as close as Chris and his brother. Can be male or female.
Co-Workers: open, open, open
