Dexter Manny Quinto



Dexter takes pride in his presentable appearance and overall it's no wonder he took home the "Best take home to parents" senior superlative. Dex always dresses with a 'smart-casual' look to him. He tends to gravitate towards henley shirts, plaid button ups, and jeans or khakis that come in a variety of colors. During the colder days, he tends to like to dress with tasteful use of leather. He's renowned for oftentimes shopping with his mother (sometimes earning him a title of a 'mama's boy'), but it has paid off with well fitting clothing and a top notch sense of what looks good and what doesn't. To top it all off, the guy even manages to smell good regularly. Fancy that?

Dexter stands at around 5'9, putting him comfortably in the average range for a male in the USA. While he might not stand out as the most straight up attractive man in town, he is certainly doing well for himself and often makes an effort to be presentable on the daily. He's not jock-muscular, but he's got a masculine and youthful physique, which certainly earns him some bonus points. Catching Dexter looking mussed up is like spotting a unicorn, and oftentimes if he is off his game, everyone else is too.



Among the group, Dex has always been the 'golden boy' to his peers, the parents, and in part to the town. It's not anything he's doing that's specifically good, but he's always been what most would consider normal. Had he been in different surroundings in a different school, he would have been one of those really popular kids that are popular purely because they've always just kinda gotten on pretty well with everyone. Some would say that he's the Jay Leno of Greenbriar High because he doesn't bother anyone, and that's usually a spot on argument. Dexter just doesn't have any reason to piss people off. He's somehow managed to have pretty good or neutral relations with just about everyone and avoid the drama that inevitably comes from high school.

Dexter is a people person, and the reason why is that almost every part of him is generally genuine. He tends to have an aura of trustworthiness because as far as most of the town is aware he's never gone behind someone's back. Dexter's persona in conversation is humble and quietly intelligent, preferring to act ignorant rather than show his knowledge of things. He's not the smartest person in the school but if his ability to dress is anything to go by he's certainly a candidate for one of the hardest working. He's gotten through high school seemingly without outward seniorits or procrastination.

Overall Dexter would be defined as 'good kid' to the adult population, but as with most popular people 'good kid' isn't the best description. A better one would be: 'Good kids' are 'bad kids' that don't get caught. This statement applies to Dex as with any other young man. He likes girls, goes to parties, participates in youthful shenanigans, and drinks socially. He refuses to do drugs though, for reasons that are relatively unclear to most of the populace. However, usually those who see him in such environments don't care enough to put much thought into it.

He has, almost habitually, visited the cliff face from 8:30-9:30PM to read if weather permits.

Dexter was raised under a set of ideals: A warrior's spirit; a servant's heart; a fun-loving attitude.

Dexter was born into a middle class home in Greenbriar, Oregon to a fairly youthful marriage. Due to the unfortunate circumstances that had seemed to be plaguing the town, a year after Dexter was born, his little sister came into the world. Unfortunately his sister was born with many of the problems several of the babies had faced. As Dexter grew up, he was taught many lifelong lessons by his family and sister. Namely, patience and empathy. His sister's various disabilities and sickly predisposition made it impossible for him and his family to live a conventionally normal life for a long time. Just when things were starting to even out at the start of middle school, Dexter's father passed away while commuting home from work- killed in a car crash. Worse yet, his sister's breathing apparatus suffered a malfunction only a few months later. With her brain starved of oxygen, Dexter's sister had been left brain dead. The already broken family was forced to make another heart wrenching choice, and then the family of four had been down to two.

The family was never the same after that. Him and his mother bonded over such a time of trial, and he deeply cares for his mother as a result. He picked up his dad's dusty old guitar and began reading like his sister. It didn't fill the void they left behind, but it was a coping mechanism that worked and helped. Neither Dexter nor his mother let their loved ones' passing slow them down forever, choosing instead to live on happily in their names. Dexter and his mother still live relatively happy and somewhat normal lives all things considered. Due to health and life insurances his family had put in place before any of the incidents, what was left of his family was left very financially stable. They still remain in the same house, but as a result Dexter has been given the opportunity to get his Private Pilot's license through high school and plans to attend a renowned flight school for college. Due to the necessary evil of commuting (since Greenbriar does not have any flight schools in the town), he and his mother purchased a car for his own personal use.

So, yeah. Shit happens, and sometimes he wished it had happened to someone else. Life dealt him some shitty cards and he focused more on mastering his hand than complaining about a cruddy deck. He was pretty happy through high school- made easy friends with most people, got a car, worked hard, got good grades, found a passion for music and work, and noticed that 'hey that Alexandra Bell girl is actually really cute.'

Yeah, I'd say he's doing pretty alright so far too.

Weather Manipulation: He has a strong influence on the flow of air currents, cold/warm/storm fronts and precipitation.

Clouds tend to follow him, and will collect until he forces them to disperse. There's no such thing as an isolated weather pattern, anything he does can have far reaching consequences. If he tries to get rid of a storm, all he can do is put it somewhere else. Creating a storm is much easier, but that's not always a good thing.
