The man raised an eyebrow at the use of his name. He cast his mind back, trying to recall just when and where he'd given it to her. He couldn't recall actually introducing himself, only requesting her help for a few moments. He opened his mouth, ready to question just where she could possibly have obtained such information. He didn't walk around with it painted onto his forehead. Suddenly uneasy, the man glanced around. Everyone else just seemed to be going about their business, there were no suspicious men in black or other sinister types lurking around, at least not that he could see.
So... Could she be...?
He was still wondering when she continued to lead them along. Quinton turned his head to see the supposed shortcut that she'd found. He didn't question it. This was her campus. Not his. "Sure. Lead the way." He followed obligingly, perhaps treading a little bit more cautiously than he otherwise would have but still comparatively relaxed. When your body could fix itself as quickly and efficiently as his could, it took a fair bit to scare him.
Getting pushed against the wall was one thing that he didn't quite expect. He didn't resist, although he could probably have turned it into quite a nasty fight had he wished to.
"I wouldn't dream of it..." The man raised a hand, he would attempt to carefully push back down the woman's so as to free himself as be able to step away from the wall. It didn't even cross his mind to attempt to use force. Quinton was very much of the sort who would never, ever, in a million years strike or even get physical with a woman. Such lessons had been hammered into his brain from his youngest years and with a couple of sisters, he couldn't imagine anything worse than using his size and strength to inflict pain on one. He wasn't too keen on being pinned against the wall like this however and would have appreciated it if she stopped. "I haven't even told anyone that I'm..." His voice trailed off for a moment, as he lowered his gaze, letting out a sigh. "Well, you're the first."
He considered the woman in silence for a moment. His eyes would quickly flick up and down her. Nothing had changed. She looked as average - in the sense of unremarkable - as he had done when he had first approached her. "I've been searching for so long." In truth, it probably felt a lot longer than it actually had been: a few months. Still, away from his family and home, time had a funny way of stretching out.

He found himself to be relaxing a little more in the presence of another. He still wasn't used to the city, it's ways. That hampered him when dealing with others, made him more awkward than he had once been. Quinton wasn't too sure whether he would rather have found that he was close to the building or, as the case was, very much far away. "Well... Never claimed to be a navigator." He frowned peering at the map and wondering how and where he went wrong. He must have set off in completely the wrong direction and then remained somewhat consistent in that during his attempts to correct the mistake.
Quinton didn't want to come off as a clueless country boy but felt as if he might well have.
He extended his hand to make it easy for her to take the map should she chose to. It barely even registered with the man that Tanya's hand had touched his own. He wasn't all that sensitive to that sort of thing and likely wouldn't have noticed anything at all.
Her reaction however earned a raised eyebrow. He couldn't even begin to fathom what had happened. Some concern took over. His natural assumption was that something, somewhere was wrong. He raised his head, searching as he assumed that the source of her... Distress? He would probably have qualified it as such - must have had something to do with an external source that she had noticed. Unable to spot anything apparent, he would turn back to consider the stranger once more.
There was something about it which made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end, a shiver run down his spine. He couldn't have said just what it was. There in that moment, he wasn't entirely sure just what it was that he was feeling. Somewhere along the line, he was aware that he was staring at the stranger, something he would typically have avoided given that it was generally considered to be rude but he found himself unable not to.
Something had just happened. He didn't know what but it was certainly something.
Maybe that was why he agreed so easily when she offered to take him there herself. It took him a short while to regain some sort of awareness of what was going on and reminding himself that such a thing as manners existed. As such, he would give her a smile. "That's real nice of you. Thanks." He would begin to follow her. He didn't question anything. Feeling that there was some reason for them go continue on like this. Not that he knew what said reason was.
Quinton would remain quiet, keeping his bag over his shoulder as he walked along. He forgot about the campus, instead focusing on the very strange stranger.

Quinton offered the stranger a smile, hopefully some assurance that he meant her no harm. He'd picked her at random, purely because she happened to be passing by and she was the first person he saw. He didn't know if there was an issue with people being pestered on campus but given how many banners and posters he'd seen around this place, he imagined it must have happened from time to time. He wasn't great with accents. He could identify those from around his Kansas home, then West and East coast but he would likely have struggled to say just where abouts on either they came from. She wasn't from his neck of the woods, that's all that he knew for sure.
"Yeah. That's me." He confessed, awkward and with a noticeable blush. "I've got to get to the small gymnasium. I know where it is but I don't seem to know where I am." The man reached into his pocket, pulling out a small brochure he'd managed to pick up with a map of the campus. He pointed towards the building he was aiming to get to, assuming that she probably knew where it was but keen to make sure that he was being clear and precise.

Dang these campuses were big.
At some point, someone had told Quinton that they were effectively mini cities and that many were home to more students than his hometown and the next surrounding fifty miles. He'd assumed that to be some form of exaggeration. Now that he found himself in Stanford however, well... He found himself to be ill-equipped for such a place. He'd been rather prepared for such an event and had taken the precaution of coming a good half hour earlier than he'd been advised. That time was fast evaporating however and he was no closer to finding just where the small gymnasium was. They were scheduled to begin work on the extension soon enough and given how rarely worked seemed to come by, he didn't want to be that one guy who was late. Not when there were at least a dozen others who would jump at the chance to take his place.
Initially, he had decided that he wouldn't embarrass himself by asking for assistance. With his accent, he feared that it would have signaled him out as being a country bumpkin. He was trying his best not to draw such attention to himself. As the minutes ticked on by however, he was forced to swallow his pride.
He looked around, surely there was some kind soul here who might be able to point him in the right direction? It wasn't as if he was asking for all that much. "Hey, sorry Miss." He requested upon spotting someone passing by. They were as good as anyone. "Don't suppose you could help me for a second please?"

[nospaces] [attr="class","hopelove"] | | [attr="class","hopelovename"] [attr="class","hopelovename2"]Quinton Summers [attr="class","hopelovelyric"] [break]"To get answers, you have to be willing to seek them out" |
[attr="class","hopeloveleft"]ALIAS // N/A [attr="class","hopeloveleft"]AGE // twenty-six [attr="class","hopeloveleft"]GENDER // Male [attr="class","hopeloveleft"]GROUP // Civilian |
[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]APPEARANCE [attr="class","hopelovetop"][attr="class","hopelovesub"]HAIR // Brown[break]EYES // Brown[break]SKIN // Somewhat tanned[break][break]ATTIRE[break][break]Quinton prefers simple clothes. His low income means that he's usually wearing quite cheap or second-hand clothes. Tee-shirts, sweaters and the same old leather jacket are generally what he can be found wearing. He's uncomfortable in anything formal or with a collar.[break][break]GENERAL[break][break]Quinton is a comparatively average individual. The sort who can unnoticed in a crowd. He's quite tall. His job ensures that he keeps fit. One thing that many who know his work will notice is that he never has even the faintest scratch. His skin seems to be unaffected by blemishes or spots. His demeanor is that of a rather carefree man, with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face. The man always tends to be quite relaxed and chilled out, he can often be seen leaning back against walls. He has quite large hands, warm and callused from his work. [attr="class","hopelovetitle"]PERSONALITY [attr="class","hopelovetop"]Quinton is a good-hearted, if somewhat naive and awkward young man. Hailing from the south, he is a firm believer in what might have been called "traditional southern values.". Growing up the oldest in a large family, the young man has a strong sense of responsibility and what he deems to be what's right. This view on life can make him rather stubborn and inflexible in many respects, especially when coupled with his idealism and well intentioned nature mean that he often sees the world as being black and white, trying to over simply things so as to make sense of them. Furthermore, he tends to make his opinion up quickly and irreversibly about certain people: once you do something he deems to be "bad", that's you marked for life in his books.[break][break]He doesn't expect much from his life and is content enough just to drift through it. You'll rarely, if ever hear a complaint coming from him as he's determined to face the world with a smile. He's a man with little to no desires, something which he would claim gives him a sense of humility. Quinton is always willing to help and will often offer a hand to anyone who wants to accept it, whether they ask for it or not. He's fond of the simpler things in life. Raised a Christian, Quinton is convinced that everything happens for a reason and is convinced that the best way to approach the world is to be kind and generous.[break][break]Despite this generally trusting and well-meaning demeanor, the young man is somewhat paranoid about others coming after his abilities for their own use, especially the government. He is incredibly suspicious of all of the organisations and far keener to keep to himself. [attr="class","hopelovetitle"]HISTORY [attr="class","hopelovetop"]Quinton was born in Oklahoma to a family of farmers. He was the eldest of five children. From his youngest years, Quinton took to helping both around the farm and with his siblings. His family certainly weren't rich but neither were they desperately poor. As such, he enjoyed a relatively comfortable life, albeit one where his parents were permanently occupied. Its fair to say that his life was astonishingly average: his parents were happily married, he got up to some mischief from time to time but never anything serious, they went to church... He was a decent student, well-behaved and a good team player if nothing else.[break][break]Quinton was exposed to the biochemicals as they were carried on the wind.[break][break] It actually took him a while to realize that something had changed. To be fair, it simply wasn't the sort of thing that he would notice given that most of his injuries were so minor, the time it took him to check, they had already vanished. In short, he assumed that he was just lucky. It was only after a particularly nasty cut on his forearm whilst working on the farm's plow that he finally twigged something was wrong. As he staggered away from the barn and back home, convinced that he would need a trip to the hospital. By the time that he had staggered over to the door, the young man looked down to check on his wound only to find that it had vanished. The blood was still there, staining his skin but no other marks visible.[break][break]That night, as he sat in his room, pondering what had just happened. Quinton tested a hunch. Taking a risk, he cut his palm. Then watched as his skin heal itself right before his very eyes. It was a secret that the young man would keep close to his chest for the next few weeks. As the reports of other metahumans began coming in, Quinton watched and listened confused by a mixture of the hostility and apparent lack of comprehension. Convinced now that he was among those who had been changed by the Event, Quinton set off for New York, reasoning that he was more likely to find an answer to his questions there.[break][break]With only his Golden Retriever/Shepherd Mia for company, the young man struggled to make his way in the world. He often does jobs for construction company or whoever is willing to hire a strong pair of hands. At this point, Quinton wrongly believes that he may very well be immortal, having survived and recovered from a number of accidents and events which would have killed most others.
[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]Regenerative healing factor [attr="class","hopelovetop"][attr="class","hopelovesub"]ABILITY[break][break]Quinton's body heals itself incredibly quickly recovering from injuries and conditions which would usually take weeks or months to recuperate from in the space of a few minutes. His internal organs are equally capable of recuperating and healing themselves far faster than the norm. His muscle and skin knits itself back together, his bones restore themselves and even his internal organs regenerate. [break][break] LIMITS[break][break]The more severe the injury or condition, the longer the damage takes to heal. He cannot recover from total body destruction or something which would kill him instantaneously such as decapitation. He equally can't recover from being rendered brain dead, for instance through an extended period of oxygen deprivation (naturally, he is unaware of these limits.[break][break]WEAKNESSES[break][break]If significant damage is done, Quinton will lose consciousness and won't awaken until his body is fully healed. He also still feels pain, even if his life isn't endangered by his injuries in so far as his body will heal itself, he can find himself incapacitated until it does so. It should also be noted that he has no control over his healing factor, he can neither direct, delay or suppress it. His body will also expel foreign objects if given enough time, much in the same way as it would a splinter as a result things such as IV drips will eventually be forced out.
