Charming . Bitter . Dishonest

LIVING A FRAUD SEEMED GOOD IN THE BEGINNING. None of the pressure and all of the rewards. Charisma could get him anywhere if he used it right, and he had no intention of stopping. The bigger the name in the industry, the more you get away with. For years, no one noticed the stolen ideas and recycled dreams, until someone did. And living as a fraud was indeed a blessing, until his career floundered and his habits got worse. Drinking wasn't as fun when you were drinking alone, and without someone to cut you off, it was a Hell of a lot more dangerous, too. Dying in a dive bar alone, yeah, that fit. And he expected that to be it, for his last company to be that of a bottle. But then he woke up.

Really, he never believed in an afterlife. Maybe a few kooks thought they saw their god, but him? No, god never liked people like him. So he thought it was only appropriate to assume that if he didn't exist to god, god didn't exist to him, either. Yeah, well, turns out, if he didn't exist to god, he sure existed to someone else. And the Pride Ring really isn't all that bad, when you get used to it. After all, he's lived in it before.

design notes.

He was called a heartthrob when he was alive, which wasn't entirely unfounded. Everything about him is very angular---high cheekbones and a jutting chin and sharp brow. He's tall and broad with a long---too long, now---neck that always wants to hold his head higher than it should. Most of his tan came from tanning beds and sprays instead of beaches and resorts, admittedly, but the people ate him up regardless. He committed to things like the fashion of messiness and the casual negligence that men and women seemed to flock to, so he kept his short, streaked hair only loosely slicked back. He laughed and smiled and flirted for the cameras, made the interviewers feel special and prompt the fans into their following. He sold his movies, and unlike many other producers or directors, he wasn't afraid to use his looks to cheat it. Quincy can promise one thing: no producer, fraudulent or not, can survive without displaying confidence, authority, and charm, regardless of its truthfulness. He used to be a real Cassanova, an expert in the fine art of being heard and desired. Only remnants of it remain, like the gel in his hair, the untrimmed patches of facial hair, the wrinkled suits, the sharp eyes, the stale musk cologne. As much as he functions on lying, the image of him couldn't be more honest of his own character--a chain-smoking, whiskey-drunk wannabe with a shiny, expensive purple bow on top. He dishes for nice, periwinkle suits and mulberry turtlenecks and lavender button-ups, though he's never had the patience to upkeep them or see a tailor, so they hang off him like a sinner's Sunday best. He likes the vaneer of money, hanging jewelry and big rings and studded belts. He's been inclined before to use eyeliner, eyeshadow on an agreeable day, but he can never find quite the right shade, so instead he settles for wiry, lilac-tinted sunglasses. If anybody asks, they're prescription. Truth is, he just hates all this red.
  • After death, to represent his sin, his body warped into something close to a cinereous vulture. Along his body, there are light feathers which gather in areas like the arms, legs, back, and collar, but thin significantly from his neck upwards, save for his ears (which are mostly still human-looking, but have since sprouted feathers of their own). These growths are mostly darker browns and beiges. His wings, which are a mark too small to carry him, follow the same colour scheme, but he has dyed the tips of his primary feathers purple.
  • Quincy has since grown two more eyes, which are located directly under his first two. They are all very light purple, somewhere in the ballpark between periwinkle and liliac, with undertones of yellow, which is his secondary colour.
  • One curl of hair always hangs down onto his forehead. This is completely intentional.

trivia.

  • Quincy's favourite movie is Cabaret (1972).
  • He has a dark purple 1957 Mercedes Roadster, and the lisence plate has his name on it.
  • He is named after his father, and was called junior by most of his family when alive.
  • His favourite food when alive was his nonna's scones---her risotto is a very close second. He finds himself more inclined towards savoury than sweet, but he insists that she put some kind of magic into them. He never found out the secret ingredient.

A broad in a bar that likes pink too much. You should try purple, instead, sometime. Nothing wrong with purple.
AQUAINTENCES/BARTENDER

The beloved bartender of the jazzhouse he frequents. I'm not trying the peanuts---we've been over this.
NON-BIO. SISTER/TAILOR & NEPHEW

A single mother and her six-year-old son that he met after he died. This woman will be the death of me.
