In other games

Quincy is not directly mentioned in Bloons Adventure Time TD, although the Cybernetic Arrow weapon is likely a reference to Cyber Quincy.

Other appearances

Quincy makes appearance in the The Story of Monkeys vs Bloons, as one of five children Monkey Heroes who are mentored by Dad of Quincy.

Description

Appearance

Quincy's ordinary appearance is how he looks like at Level 1 in BTD6. He dons a grayish black battle armor with occasional orange stripes. Judging from the texture and lines of the hood, it contains hard parts for protection. The hood has an extension at both sides to accommodate his ears. The armor provides protection for his whole body, excluding his palms, on which he wears brown gloves with black parts. His arms are protected by gray metallic-looking segments, which connect to his gloves via an orange stripe. He has three brown satchels and has a quiver on his back, containing one arrow. He wears black boots and his tail is encased in black and orange striped armor. He wields a bow with the same color scheme as his battle armor.

When he was a child, Quincy appears quite similar to his adult appearance. However, his arrows are plunger-tipped, as he was still training to be a true archer.

Personality

Quincy is quite relaxed in how he speaks, but often makes arrogant remarks about his archery skills. His speaking tone is rather calm. In fact, he is very chill, and enjoys engaging in simple challenges.

He has an American accent and also seems to have a crush on Gwendolin, judging on a Valentines post from Ninja Kiwi. His ethnicity is not confirmed officially.

Other information

	~ BTD6 Cyber Quincy when selected

Cyber Quincy is Quincy's first skin, first released to Bloons TD 6 on Version 5.0. Cyber Quincy is the first Hero skin to ever be released. Some teasers of Cyber Quincy included a sample of his robotic voice.

Cyber Quincy is given a cyan aesthetic to replace his usual orange one with the base template of his armor remaining the same, but his armor hood has been substituted by an armor-like bandana to distinguish him from his standard counterpart. Though, his ears are still covered in armor. This appearance also sports an iconic eyepatch that is made of a gray cloth rather than being armor based.

His level 3 aesthetic has him equip a hood for armor that features cyan accents lining that starts at the base of the hood and travels to the front perpendicularly to the standard Quincy's orange accents on his hoods. His bandana and eyepatch are still present underneath the hood. Cyber Quincy also gains more arrows in his quiver.

His level 7 aesthetic has him gain a black visor with a cyan gradient with two cyan eye details that sport a neutral emotion; this visor replaces the eyepatch. His arrows gain gray detailing on the usually all cyan feathers.

His level 10 aesthetic has him replace his cyan and gray aesthetic for a cyan and white aesthetic. His visor's eyes gain a joyous or happy emotion. His boots gain cyan gums, but more notably his hood gains a cyan mohawk that sports 6 large, distinguished spikes, while only four are visible on his portrait.

His level 20 aesthetic adds more of the spikes introduced in level 10 over more of his armor and bow. His sleeves gain 2 spikes each, with his bow gaining 6 along the outside. Much less noticable, his hood gains a widow's peak design, which adds another mohawk spike. His visor eyes now dawn an angry appearance.

Cultural references

It may also be a reference to the "Earl, son of Earl" greentext (link contains strong language), where the player created thousands of the same characters, each having the same statistics and name as the last one. Alternatively, it could also be a reference to the quote "I am Aragorn son of Arathorn" from Lord of the Rings. Additionally, the descriptions of Quincy's alternate skins also have this line in some way, with the Wolfpack Quincy skin having the line "...he is Quincy, ancestor of Quincy.", and the Cyber Quincy having the line "He is Quincy, evolved from Quincy."
• While the pet for the Quincy's original skin, Dad of Quincy technically follows the second half of the quote above, but it may be a reference to the Dad of War meme, which was poking fun of Kratos, the main character of the God of War series's radical character shift in God of War (2018).

  • Sagittarius is the constellation representing a centaur who wields a bow and arrow.
• Quincy's design bares a resemblance to the Crynet Nanosuit from the Crysis series. And Quincy uses a bow just like Prophet used one as the signature weapon in Crysis 3.
