Pariah Online III

Zero mostly remained quiet and silently took in each of the members of the party. From what he could tell just by looking at them, they were a diverse mix of people with their own skills and whatnot. Sure, it was true that judging them from looks alone was going to produce inconsistent results, Zero liked to think he had an eye for that sort of thing. Even if he didn’t, something told him they weren’t exactly the subtle batch of players.

From the guy who spoke about his brother and the little blonde one who didn’t seem too greedy, Zero felt like he was at home with them. Like he had finally found a party who played his way and weren’t that horrible of a bunch either. The big woman still made him feel uneasy, but for the most part, they were all pretty pleasant. What more could a guy ask for out of a game that seemingly trapped their players inside it?

“I do like the sound of going into the wilds. I haven’t gotten the chance to roam with a party in quite some time and you lot seem like you play this game like it was meant to!” Zero smiled cheerfully, looking at the entire group with only a positive outlook.

He glared at Clara and the smirk on her face forced a giggle out of his. He took his time diverting his eyes from the bark of the trees around him, actually considering if they were safe for consumption or not. It seemed to work for woodland creatures but probably not the sort of thing humans should eat, especially not when there’s a perfectly appetizing source of meat right in front of them.

“Well, I suppose we shouldn’t let go to waste.”

Zestasia licked his lips, salivating at the possibilities of the krovar meat. This was foreign territory for him. He had very limited knowledge about krovar. So like all great curious minds wanting to know more about something, Zestasia walked up and knelt in front of the carcass, inspecting it from a close distance.

He manipulated the sun ether around his left hand just enough to provide him with a cutting tool. He slid his hand across the belly of the beast and let the oozing liquid that he assumed was blood pour out. He reached into the carcass with the ether-covered hand and felt around for anything loose. It took him only a few moments to pull out something solid and it was a palm-sized filet, which again Zestasia was assuming. Nothing about what he felt inside the belly nor what he pulled out registered as common knowledge.

“So, this is what its come to, huh?” He kept his eyes on the piece of meat he held in his hand, rotating it within the palm and used his fingers as a makeshift rotisserie. He would spend the next couple of minutes slowly cooking the meat.

The fear of the unknown had crept into his mind so much that even as the piece of beef in his hand neared outward doneness and as Zestasia pressed his other hand against it, making sure it was perfectly cooked, he wasn’t sure. He had no idea of knowing if it was poisonous or not. If it was and he ate it, he could die, but if it wasn’t and he didn’t eat it, then he’ll be hungry.

Neither of those options was ideal

His mind kept dividing attention between what he held in his hand and if this actually was literal poison disguised as a delicious chunk of meat.

"Yo, guys," Zestasia beckoned to the group in a raised voice. "Does this look safe to eat?" He asked, holding up the filet of meat in his hand.

Appearance Details

Ricky is an athletic young man with a mostly-clean body devoid of hair aside from some shaggy bits under his arms and his lower abdomen, which when under light, is a supple sienna, like his hair. He’s slightly taller than most kids in his classes, which he attributes to his genetics of tall men (and in some cases, women). That is to say, he’s six feet even and his weight is considerably higher due to his body leaning towards athletically muscular. It helps that the linebacker has a toned body. And on the topic of something that attributes to his overall visage, it’s been noted that Ricky’s stormy eyes tell a lot of stories and tell of the pain he has to endure throughout his life.

Never expect Ricky Quinn to adhere to normal fashion conventions. He’ll wear the same shirt multiple days in a row if he happens to enjoy it, which is to say he doesn’t give a fuck what people think about him. He wears the same brand of long sleeve shirts that belong in the early 2000s what with their flaming pattern and graffiti-inspired designs. He also has one leather jacket he wears all the time. Jeans are his preferred lower-body clothing item and simple shoes like vans or Nike if he’s feeling fancy enough do it for him. He doesn’t have any accessories aside from his phone and headphones for when he has to go into beast mode.

Ricky doesn’t have any piercings or tattoos, but he has one notable scar on the left side of his neck that is reminiscent of a burn that never completely healed.

Personality Traits

Friendly enough → Sardonic → Unpredictable → Somewhat Adventurous → Impulsive → Unintentional asshole → Aggressive → Prone to violent behavior → Immoral → Somewhat unempathetic → Deceitful

Ricky has a reputation of being a troublemaker, but not necessarily the kind that people want to be around. Oh sure, he might seem like a lot of fun to be around on the surface. He’ll make teacher’s lives a living hell, he might impulsively take you on an adventure of law-breaking, but as most with a level head on their shoulders might tell you, stay away from Pactrick Hunter Quinn. He’ll dive head first into an adventure bu t take it too far and make everyone regret it just as much. Either he has no fears or doesn’t know the limits of which he should do.

On a personal level, Ricky doesn’t exist. He never lets anyone get too close to him. This comes from a lifetime of pain and knowing he isn’t really a people person. He borders on being a loner and was known as “That aggressive dude who likes to hit people”. It’s obviously true. He’s not a very nice guy either. Whether intentional or not, he’s an asshole and has never known what was right or what was wrong. That part of his brain came loose after a while. Oh and he’s a “hit first, ask questions later” kind of guy.

People have noted that his sense of humor leans on the dark and twisted side. He’ll make light of situations such as mass murder and other triggering subjects. Even his own experiences of abuse, though nobody in passing conversation would know, is up for a sarcastic quip here and there. Truth is, he doesn’t know if he can be a good guy or not. Maybe he wants to in his own strange way, but as it stands, Ricky just can’t see himself like that. Despite this -- and clearly to his own surprise -- people actually like him. He never bothers to tell them to leave him alone, but that doesn’t mean he’ll think they’re all right in the head, which might be funny coming from the one who jokes about getting beaten up by daddy (and not in the fun, kinky way, either).

Biography

Ricky was born of the name Patrick Hunter Quinn and to a pair of very questionable parents by the names of Emily Rose Montgomery (nee. Quinn) and her very charming and part-time abusive husband, Douglas Fredrick Montgomery. Both have severe drug addictions with the two of them preferring oxy and heroin. The trouble in Ricky’s life could be traced back to the day they decided that they were capable of caring for a child.

So in 2002, Ricky was brought into a world that didn’t take long at all to show that he came second nature to his parents and their addictions. For the first couple of years, it wasn’t so bad because according to his aunt when he would sometimes ask, Emily and Doug tried. They really did, but their sickness became too much. By the time Ricky was seven years old, his parents often neglected him in a lot of ways and it started out small. First, they would forget to pick him up from school on time or drop him off on time, but then it escalated. There were times he had to walk a mile to school alone. He was lucky that most of everyone in the neighborhood he grew up in loved and adored him, so nobody tried anything. Despite this, the neglection continued until the day came when Ricky tried to say something.

And that’s when emotional abuse and neglect faded while physical abuse took its place. Anytime that he caused an inconvenience or didn’t do something that Douglas approved of, Ricky got his ass beat; and as their only child, there was no younger sibling to protect, no older sibling to protect him, or no mother of his coming to his rescue. And after a while, Ricky became immune to the pain. It still hurt but it never registered. He would even learn to accept it as something that was the result of him being a troubled child.

Life continued and Ricky enduring a troubled home for another year. The beatings were less and less when Emily became his focus. This time, however, it didn’t stop with a simple punch or kick to the stomach. Douglas had it in his mind that his son was getting off too easy and had to be taught a lesson, so he persisted until his own son, who would have been only nine at this point, had several bruised bones and a blackened eye. The cops were called and CPS finally stepped in and removed Ricky from his parents’ care.

Now, during all of this, the only thing Ricky had on his mind was how he was conflicted about wanting to go back to his parents but being angry that his mother did nothing to stop his father from beating on him.

Amidst everything happening around him, a sequence of events happened that completely changed Ricky’s life as he knew it. The first, of course, was being sent to a group home until someone could be contacted that might potentially take him in. After he was settled in a group home, the DA was quick to bring up various charges ranging from drug possession, assault on a minor, child endangerment, and resisting arrest. The total amount of charges were still growing, but this wasn’t the only thing that changed the course of Ricky’s life. Come morning, when Ricky would have usually gotten ready for school, he was instead met by a red-haired woman who he immediately recognized as his Aunt Ramona. She then revealed to him that he was going to live with her in Columbus for a while.

At the beginning, Ricky had a hard time adjusting to a new school and being in a new home, but with time, he came to accept this as his life. The news of his parents going away for seven years wasn’t great to hear. Now seventeen, a nearly-grown Ricky Quinn couldn’t be happier -- well, whatever happy was for him. He was a little moody, if not crabby about a lot of things. But what? He showed good vibes up until a few weeks ago. Whatever the sudden change in mood, it has his Aunt worried but knows if he wanted to talk about it, he’ll come to her.

Tom Hardy as Douglas Montgomery, the 39-year-old scumbag father of Ricky's who holds no place in his heart and Jessica Chastain as Emily Quinn-Montgomery, the 35-year-old coward mother of Ricky's who means nothing to him.
Both are near the end of their 7-year prison sentence.
Emma Stone as Ramona Francine Quinn, the 31-year-old aunt of Ricky's who is the only real parent that Ricky has known. She is a detective with the Columbus PD.

🌀 Ricky was diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder when he was fifteen and moderate Bipolar Disorder when he was sixteen. As a result, he spent the better part of the summer of 2018 in psychewards due to a trigger of his parents' parole hearing happening at the height of the summer of that same year (they were denied.)

🌀 Due to his violent nature and excessive energy as a kid, Ricky has been in contact sports since he was 12. He currently plays wrestling and football.

🌀 Ricky has been doing Boxing for since he was thirteen.

🌀 Ricky is a member of an anarchist gang known as Southcentral Saints and has been since he was fourteen.

🌀 Ricky has recurring nightmares of childhood traumas and uses oxycodone to help keep the blackouts to minimal occurrences.

🌀 He has been arrested several times for fights and gang-related activities, but due to his aunt's connections, he has been kept out of juvenile hall, but as of 2019, he has been forced to do community service at the local community center as part of his unofficial agreement with his Aunt Ramona's captain.

🌀 In his free time, Ricky enjoys violent video games and causing a little mayhem for the good old and reliable Columbus Police Department, sometimes forcing his "friends" to partake in some of his own shenanigans.

🌀 Ricky regularly goes to punk rock shows and raves on occasion. His favorite band still to this day is Rage Against the Machine.

🌀 Has a real problem with authority but listens if it benefits him (such as the football coach and Arthur when leading the team into whatever victory coming their way).
