is it wrong that i still believe..
you're not the villain?...
Cedric J. Quinn, 31
dc or marvel universe.
(crossovers are cool)
birthday: april 30th
occupation: villain
status: arkham asylum
sexuality: straight
appearance:
You cannot keep your eyes off of Cedric. Be it cause you read his files and is aware of what he can do, or, well, because of the scar. The burn scar covers the left side of his face almost entirely, red skin destroyed - a reminder of the cruelty of his past. He has a thin, long face, with a straight nose and thin lips. His heterochromatic eyes are distracting too: the left one is piercing blue, while the other is dark ocean green. Cedric is tall, 5'11 to be exact, with wide shoulders, long legs, and a small waist. His dark brown hair falls in long bangs over his eyes, in a failed attempt to cover the damage left on his face.
personality:
One conversation and you'd wonder why a kind man like Cedric is locked away in the rotting walls of the Asylum.
He seemed gentle, polite, and quite smart, considering how evil, or borderline demented most of the patients are. He knows how to behave until he gets bored. Cedric has had enough playing pretend - ready to scar everyone else with his treats and sick comments. A calculated gentleman, that's for sure, if you ignore the murder and several other crimes he's committed. He's cruel, intelligent, and a bit of a jokester. Though, his morbid jokes might not be for everyone.
A professional actor, he can play the part. A chameleon reads the room to create a narrative to best fit himself. Manipulative and sickeningly sweet at times, Cedric has no care left in him. If you're in his way, you're gone. It's that simple.
backstory:
Never in his life, prior to being locked up in the Asylum, of course, had Cedric known true peace. His father worked for an all-powerful criminal, struggling to pay their debt so his body wouldn't be found dead in a ditch somewhere, and never had time to even look at his son's general direction. His mother was a drunken mess, shoving her nose in everyone else's business, far too busy dreaming of the rich socialite lifestyle to help put food on the table.
He ran away at 8, of course, he did. Cedric lived in the streets from then on: stealing from whoever walked next to him. One day, however, he tried pickpocketing a weird-looking clown and ended up being knocked out. Cedric stayed in that basement for six months, undergoing intense torture, that ended up with boiling water being poured onto his face, as he gasped and apologized to that clown. After he passed out again, he woke up in an alley - everything hurt. Social services found him and took him to an orphanage, and Cedric got to the experience the worse the city had to offer him. It was always cold. There was never enough food for all the kids. The staff hated them all, and if you dared to speak your mind, you'd end up in solitary.
Cedric spent a week there, talking to himself - going crazy, little by little... remembering the sound of his mother's shoes as she got home at 4 am, with another man, too drunk to register that wasn't his father... the sound of his father's anxious pleas as he asked for more time... the clown's sick laughter as he broke every bone in his body... waking up to rats biting his fingers... or passing out from hunger and dehydration... Yeah. It was enough to drive someone man.
Playing nice, Cedric left once he turned 18. Since then, he's haunted the streets with a brand new look - tailored suit, creepy smile, ax in hands. Two years ago he was taken to the Asylum. The guards say he'll rot there. But he knows he'll find a way out.
