Short Biography/background:
“Do not tell a king what he can do, but what he ought to do.” -Thomas More
Fin is the younger brother of twelve princes, removed six steps from the throne (more if you count his sisters) it would take a pretty serious disaster for him to be in the running for any sort of important position (which is just as well, considering how good Finian is with responsibilities.) while his distance from the seats of power lift some of the pressure from his young shoulders, certainly, not enough is lifted for all the regular trappings of such a position. He is headstrong, irresponsible and lacks discipline as his last nanny put it. Although in public, her words do seem unfounded. To most he is a quiet, easy-going individual, he has a somewhat cheeky smile, but boys will be boys. Finian knows how to act the sweet blameless angel around adults and because he’s royal, often they soak it up.
Beneath his smiling, cheeky exterior however, lies a true imp. ‘A hell raiser, mischief making menace’ as Nanny Cheng put it. He is the naughty school boy, enjoying anything that causes frustration, confusion and humility. While he never sets out to maim or hurt people he doesn’t understand the emotional damage done when he steals all the girl’s towels, or sets the stink-bombs in the boy’s lockers. A typical day for Fin starts by evading his personal escorts, making prank phone calls and shaking up cans of soda so they explode when you open them. It’s hard to tell what he gains from all this, some sort of perverse pleasure at watching others panic or maybe just the thrill of not behaving as the other twelve princes do. These small rebellions are a childish attempt at asserting his own personality, although what that is, is anyone’s guess. Even Finian isn’t such what he wants to do or be in life, from an early age the expectations of him have been very low, but also very high, even though it is unlikely he will ever inherit any responsibility, he must still appear and act as is befitting of a prince.
Luckily, Finian is quick and good at not getting caught when he’s causing mischief and mayhem, only his close, personal friends know what a naughty boy he is, and most of them are in on the fun. He has no sense of responsibility, being one of those people who expects others to do things for him and to clean up the mess that he has made, and why not, he’s still royalty even if he’s devoid of consequences. The trouble is, he has never dealt with punishments or humility himself, never felt the wooden spoon, so to speak. Most of his tutors were afraid to punish him or show any sort of chastising. The worst he has ever received were a few harsh words from Nanny Cheng.
Despite his naughty streak he would never harm animals, finding that he is closer to them than he is to other people. Finian ‘gets’ animals, they aren’t complicated.
He has only a few people that he considers close to him, most of his siblings are closer to the throne and thus have little time to spend on family matters. What little interaction there is between them is strained at best. For his younger years Nanny Cheng was the closest thing to an actual parent figure that he's ever had, but he grew up and she was retired. Since she left, he has become a great deal more wild-child than ever.
Magic: his power is a curious one relating to ink and words. He can literally tear ink off a page and turn it into a weapon, be it a lazy twirl of words, or a razor sharp lash of letters. He is currently not very good at this, but slowly getting better. Mostly the problem is that he finds his power ‘boring’ and would let it go to waste if his parents didn’t pull him out of tutoring the moment they found out about it. The power is weak at the moment but has the potential to be quite versatile.
