A two‐character set in PG ( r , q ) is a set X of points with the property that the intersection number with any hyperplane only takes two values. A projective Paley set of PG ( 2 n − 1 , q ) , q odd, is a subset X of points such that every hyperplane of PG ( 2 n − 1 , q ) meets X in either ( q n + 1 ) ( q n − 1 − 1 ) ∕ 2 ( q − 1 ) or ( q n − 1 ) ( q n − 1 + 1 ) ∕ 2 ( q − 1 ) points. A quasi‐quadric in PG ( 2 n − 1 , q ) is a two‐character set that has the same size and the same intersection numbers with respect to hyperplanes as a nondegenerate quadric. Here we construct projective Paley sets of PG ( 3 , q ) left invariant by a cyclic group of order q 2 + 1 and of PG ( 5 , q ) admitting PSL ( 2 , q 2 ) as an automorphism group. Also infinite families of quasi‐quadrics of PG ( 5 , q ) are provided.
