Quintrell Christian, Project Administrator with Hegemony International
Q
uintrell Christian is a project administrator assigned to the Special Projects team within Hegemony International.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

A
s someone who is not far removed from his days as a professional athlete, he's still in peak physical condition. He works out daily - partially because he still maintains dreams of getting back in "the league", and partially because the habit's been ingrained in him since junior high. As a former defensive end, he strikes an imposing figure. He towers over most of his colleagues and his body fat percentage is exceptionally low.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Q
uintrell was raised in Miami, Florida. He attended Florida State University on a football scholarship, where he helped the team win a national championship. He was drafted late in the first round, as a defensive end, by the Jacksonville Champions. He twice achieved All-Pro honors and was a member of three Super Bowl winning teams.

Aborted Stardom
In his fourth season, he tore an ACL during the Super Bowl (an infamous loss to the Detroit Lions that is now known as the "Shame of the Game"). After missing all of his fifth season, he was released, eventually signing with the Minnesota Vikings. In the second game of his sixth season, he tore his other ACL and was released at the end of the year. He spent his seventh season on the practice squad of the Cleveland Browns, only being called up for action in two meaningless games at the end of the year before he was again released. Having no more offers on the cusp of his eighth season, he officially retired from the NFL.
 
Unsure of what to do with the rest of his life, he was hired at Hegemony International in 2069. He's been a part of the Special Projects team ever since.

Sexuality

Q
uintrell is a "player" and a womanizer. His past-and-continued status as a local celebrity gives him numerous opportunities for sexual exploits - opportunities he is all-too-happy to seize. Although he sees himself as monogamous, his brand of "monogamy" is better described as someone who swiftly moves from one conquest to the next. He eschews commitment and maintains a long list of women that he can hit up for the occasional "booty call".

Education

H
e holds a Bachelor's in English - a degree that he "earned" during his time at Florida State University. Like many aspiring athletes of his ilk, his degree was mostly given to him. While he completed the minimal course load necessary to maintain athletic eligibility, most of his coursework was actually completed by "tutors".

Employment

A
lthough he's worked at Hegemony International since his NFL career ended, his job is widely seen as "mercy employment". He's a local hero, having starred for the hometown Jacksonville Champions, who are also owned by Reginald Howell himself. He was never required to interview for his current role, nor was he vetted in the ways that are expected of "normal" employees. He was simply placed directly onto the Special Projects team as an edict from executive management.

Accomplishments & Achievements

How bout ya get a few rings on those fingers before you try telling me what to do?
Quintrell Christian, Project Administrator with Hegemony International
F
or Quintrell, there will never be any accomplishments in his life that can compare to the heights he achieved as an athlete. He's immensely proud of the national championship he won at the collegiate level, and the Super Bowl rings he won as a member of the Champions. In fact, on any given day, he usually wears at least a couple of his championship rings and he displays them ostentatiously to any who happen to notice them.

Failures & Embarrassments

D
espite his numerous athletic accolades, he's haunted by the way in which his aborted career petered out due to injury. Being a two-time All-Pro, it's understable why he believed that he was on a trajectory for the Hall of Fame. But that destiny was cut short when he suffered his second ACL tear.

Imposter
He is also self-conscious about his minimal education. Now that he's in the corporate world, some of his intellectual shortcomings are occasionally laid bare. When this happens, he has a tendency to over-compensate by trying to claim knowledge that he doesn't actually possess.
 
Finally, his financial status is a source of personal shame. He regrets blowing the money he earned as a professional athlete and now strives to project an image of someone far wealthier than himself.

Intellectual Characteristics

I
t would be inaccurate to classify Quintrell as stupid. In those moments where he chooses to apply himself, he displays a capable - yet unextraordinary - intellect. But his practical level of education leads others to see him as daft. He took the most basic courses in high school (courses which he struggled to pass), and his FSU degree is borderline-honorary. Coupled with the sense of entitlement that arose from his status as a star athlete, it's an understatement to say that he never really applied himself in academic matters.

Taboos

Q
uintrell is severely homophobic. While he's neither violent nor aggessive toward the queer community, he goes out of his way to make crude jokes and dismissive comments toward them. His definition of "lesbian" is basically: any woman who's not interested in sleeping with him. He views gay men as being "lesser" and he's deeply suspicious of anyone who "swings both ways".

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

L
ike so many retired athletes, he dreams of one day making it back to "the league". It matters little that there are no NFL teams even contacting him about a comeback, or that it's doubtful he could even perform again at the NFL level if he were to be offered a tryout. He still thinks constantly about the possibility of being back on the field.
 
In his corporate life, he maintains a deep need to be liked and actively seeks attention. He cherishes his reputation as "the cool kid" and constantly tries to ingratiate himself with others - even though many of those attempts are hamfisted, or even downright offensive.

Vices & Personality flaws

O
utside of the gym or a practice field, Quintrell has never been a particularly hard worker. Part of this is due to his insecurity around his poor education and his lack of skill for the work done by the Special Projects team. But even if he were infinitely qualified for the task, his generally-poor work ethic leads him to cut corners.
What do you mean I didn't get it done? I gave it to Teena. She submitted the report. And it's DONE.
Quintrell Christian, Project Administrator with Hegemony International
Sometimes he doesn't even bother to "cut" those corners. He just tries to pawn his work off on others, openly trading on his celebrity status to leverage those who are in awe of him.

Social

Social Aptitude

Q
uintrell is boisterous and jovial. He adores large social settings and he loves being the center of attention. His locker room humor, stunning good looks, and athletic build make him an instant hit in any environment that contains a preponderance of bro-Chads or thirsty women. He's quick to make friends - although those "friends" are more fleeting than most. He favors bars, nightclubs, sporting events, and any place that features a festive crowd.

Speech

H
is ingrained identity as a professional athlete can make him a liability when speaking in corporate or formal settings. He has no filter. He's doesn't even understand what is wrong with misogynistic or homophobic humor. He's frequently "handsy" and will proposition women in any setting.

Wealth & Financial state

A
lthough his exact net worth is unknown, his "wealth" is far lower than most would assume it to be. Although he received millions as a first-round draft pick in the NFL, he never made any attempt to budget or invest that money, and nearly all of it is long gone. The unfortunate timing of his injuries meant that he never received that big "second contract" coveted by all football players. By the time that he started bouncing around between teams, he was earning minimum salaries, or even worse, practice-squad pay. While this is still far more money than most normal people earn in a year, he burned through those relatively-modest sums in record time.

Burning Cash
Since he was hired at Hegemony International, his yearly income has still been higher than his colleagues. This isn't because Hegemony pays him a premium. Rather, he still manages to snag a series of occasional endorsements and appearance fees. This "bonus income" allows him to outwardly maintain a flashy lifestyle. But it does little to shore up his finances because he's prone to immediately blowing this additional revenue as fast as it hits his bank account - typically squandering it on new cars, flashy clothes, and ostentatious jewelry.
