Hobbies:
Outdoorsman- Finn’s first and greatest love remains the great outdoors. He loves hiking, camping, and kayaking, and is keen to get others to accompany him on weekend trips. He's got a dusty red Jeep that he loves and had a lot of work done on so that it runs "clean" and "eco-friendly.” Since his return from Alaska, Finn has found work at a local outdoor supplies shop, where he puts his experience to good use advising customers on what gear they need for their adventures.
Jogging- When Finn needs to decompress and he doesn’t have time to get out of town, he pulls on his running shoes and hits the pavement. His favorite thing to do is to hit a sweet pace and lose himself in his thoughts – jogging lets Finn get his head in order and get a handle on everything he needs to do in the coming days. As a bonus, it’s also a handy cover for when he needs to go out on patrol and needs an excuse for his roommate about where he’s going.
Film buff- Finn likes superhero movies, and nature documentaries, and indie dramas that Netflix recommends to him because he watched My Own Private Idaho and gave it five stars. He can be found at midnight releases for franchises he cares about, and at the end of the day, assuming he doesn’t get called out to fight crime and punch bad guys in the face, likes to unwind by putting a documentary up on the TV and doing his homework.
Virtues:
Supportive: Finn watches out for his friends, especially when it comes to needing emotional support. While he’s not the person you’d want to ask to feed your fish while you’re on vacation (he’ll forget), he’s a great listener, ready to sacrifice an hour or two of sleep if it means staying on the phone to console someone about a shitty breakup, a bad grade, or pretty much anything. When Finn likes someone, he wants them to be happy, whether happy means reassuring them that everything will be okay when they’re stressed, showing up with a cheesy DVD and a pint of ice cream at the end of a long week, or taking them out for drinks just because.
Great Sense of Humor: Finn’s a funny guy, okay? He gets through life by pretending to not take things too seriously and cracking jokes, because he’s pretty sure that if he didn’t laugh at the world, the world would make him want to kill himself. He finds it easy to open up to people and express himself to them, usually by greasing the wheels with a funny remark or two – Finn wants people to like him, and he’s found that making them laugh is a good starting point.
Idealistic: Finn tries his hardest to see the best in the world, even when the world is determined to show him its worst. While three years as a knight have smashed his naïveté into itty bitty pieces, he retains he determination and fundamental desire to do good: once Finn sets his mind on something, he doesn’t stop until he’s good and ready to stop. He’s also quick to get involved with things he’s interested in, jumping feet first into experiences and not holding back. Finn believes wholeheartedly in the phrase, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
Invested: Finn’s goofy demeanor might make it seem like he doesn’t take anything seriously, but that’s a mistaken first impression. When he cares about something, he cares about it deeply and completely. Failure, betrayal, and emotional hurt strike him to his core. He’s both earnest and honest in his friendships and actions, because he cares what people think of him, he cares about how other people feel, he cares about the results of his actions, and he cares about the world around him.
Flaws:
Escapist: While he’s trying to improve on this front, Finn’s first response to stress and trauma remains not dealing with it. Whether it’s running off to Alaska, slacking on visiting his wonder, or just pretending that everything is okay when it really isn’t, Finn does everything he can to avoid coming face-to-face with problems, or worse, his own mistakes. This reluctance to confront issues can make Finn come off as unreliable, since when it comes time to be serious and face issues, he does so reluctantly and oftentimes belatedly.
Needy: Finn is constantly seeking validation for himself and his actions, usually in the form of wanting to be paid attention to and remembered. He seldom does things just to do them – he wants the world to know and he wants people to have opinions and he wants those opinions to be good but he’ll settle for any opinion at all. He doesn’t do solitude well, and he lives to hear that his friends think he’s important or that he serves an important role in their lives. What Finn dreads most of all is waking up one day all alone, having never amounted to anything and not remembered by anyone.
Self-deprecating: The reason Finn needs approval from others is because his personal sense of self-worth isn’t all that great. Whenever something he’s involved with goes wrong, no matter how little he could have done to change the outcome, he has the tendency to automatically assume the blame. Finn beats himself up over failures big and small, regarding himself as being never quite good enough. He has the frustrating tendency to over-apologize and focus on his own perceived failings, even when doing so is the opposite of productive.
Argumentative: If Finn thinks your opinions are bad and you should feel bad, he'll let you know. He has a hard time keeping his mouth shut, which has a tendency to cause friction between himself and others. In cases where it later turns out Finn was right, he has a tendency to crow about it in order to boost his own ego.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: A very “true blue” sort of blue, not particularly light or dark in shade. Naturally very “Deer-in-the-headlights” looking. Attempts to combat this with various worldly squints are utterly unsuccessful.
Hair: Light brown, short, and choppy, with uneven bangs and a prominent cowlick,.
Face: Square-jawed, but still a little baby-faced. Finn broke his nose in seventh grade, and it’s still slightly crooked, plus it was a bit on the large side to begin with. He has loads and loads of freckles and eyebrows like caterpillars.
Build: Finn looks a good year or two younger than he is. He is 5'7" and 160 lbs, fit but not lean – like a mid-weight boxer.
Clothes: Outdoorsy and functional, but still stylish. Finn has abandoned his dumb ironic tee shirts for a more grown-up look involving button-ups, khakis, and flannel.
