Name: Finvara Lonán (Tuath custom strips oathbreakers of their clan names, so for his surname, he chose ato go by a nickname his mother gave him meaning "little blackbird" )
Nickname: Fin (No one calls him by his full name except in very formal settings, and given that everyone in those settings is long dead there is no reason for anyone to do so as far as he's concerned.
Gender/Pronoun: He/Him/His
Age: 1024. He appears to be in his early to mid twenties and has the emotional maturity to match.
Birthday: He has no idea, he'll probably grudgingly choose the date of his arrival.
Sign: Eh?
Gemstone: Whatever catches his attention at the moment
Blood Type: Red. (O-)
Fav. Food: Sticky honey cakes, he also likes fish if it's very fresh. He will love sushi once he tries it.
Hated Food: Squash and squash-like things. Why does Earth have these? Why do you people eat them?
School/Occupation: No thank you. (He'll get a job once he realizes that things cost money and people are much less likely to fall for the demigod act here)
Hobbies:
Dance -- Fin has always loved to dance, alone, with a partner, or in groups. He doesn't care, as long as he's moving to the music. He prides himself on having a particular agility and grace and enjoys showing off his skill on the dance floor. Though he hasn’t had many opportunities to dance with others lately due to the inconvenient deaths of everyone else on his planet, he looks forward to finding new dance partners.
Painting -- Unlike many of his other interests, Fin’s painting is a deeply introspective activity and one he prefers to perform in solitude. His paintings tend toward the surreal and the bizarre. He hasn’t had as many opportunities to use actual paints lately, but he did what he could with natural pigments. While his great love is the creation of murals, his ability to exercise this love has been extremely limited for the past several centuries and he has spent a lot of time painting on bone. Experimenting with Earth’s media will be a source of entertainment for him.
Brewing -- Fin developed brewing skills after the coup forced him out of the palace and into hiding. He brewed mead from wild honey and while he found the lack of variety frustrating, he considered it better than nothing. When he rejoined some semblance of society he was able to develop a more diverse range of alcohols. He will pursue this interest further after arriving on Earth and will definitely enjoy having others to share it with.
Archery -- As the eldest prince of Bacchus, one of Fin's duties was to lead the Wild Hunt. While this was a ceremonial role by the time he assumed the position, it did require him to develop skill with the bow. He will find it aggravating that he's not allowed to shoot the youma he encounters on Earth, but he will enjoy target shooting. He no longer has the stamina for long shooting sessions that he once did due to chronic pain in his left arm and hand, but he still enjoys what time he can manage.
Virtues:
Loyal -- Whatever his tendency toward flightiness, Fin has always been a deeply loyal person. He's all but lost his ability to voice this loyalty and struggles to form new relationships that inspire loyalty in him, but when he loves someone he loves them fiercely and with an uncharacteristic dedication. Even if he gripes and grumbles about having to be responsible, he will show up for friends (and hopefully someday, found family).
Outgoing – Fin is very friendly and enthusiastic and happiest when he’s surrounded by people. Especially when those people are as excited about having a good time as he is. He is the sort of person who will happily strike up a conversation with a stranger and wants to make sure that other people are engaged with whatever happens to be going on in a given situation. He is also the sort of person who is uncomfortable with silence and becomes upset if he’s alone for any extended period of time.
Creative -- Fin has always had a creative spark that he feels the need to exercise regularly, as reflected by his hobbies. He enjoys finding different ways to put his mark on things wherever he goes and is constantly looking for new sources of inspiration. He spends a lot of time doodling, scribbling notes for new flavor ideas, and daydreaming. He tends to approach problems from perspectives other people might find unusual, though they might be messier than average attempts.
Adventurous -- Fin has a boundless sense of curiosity and with centuries to spare, he has had plenty of time to indulge this. He has very few problems taking risks and is willing to try just about anything at least once. This has led to some mishaps over the ages, but at least some of the bad experiences make for funny stories.
Flaws:
Hedonistic -- Fin likes a good time, to an unhealthy degree. He often neglects more important tasks or responsibilities in favor of self-indulgence. Pleasure is far more important to him than any sort of higher calling or ambition and he tends to build his life around the pursuit of the next source of amusement. Because of his pursuit of immediate gratification, he finds it difficult to remain focused on anything resembling a long-term goal.
Vindictive -- Fin will hold a grudge for eternity and a day if he feels wronged or slighted and may seek revenge if the hurt is severe enough. While he doesn’t tend toward physical violence in the vast majority of cases, he is not above attempting to balance the books, so to speak. He likes what he considers poetic justice, in that he enjoys making his vengeful behavior reflect or echo what someone did to him. It is very rare for him to believe that this behavior is unwarranted, though if he does reach this conclusion he will feel genuinely bad about it and may try to make up for his actions. (Though his success generally depends on how scorched earth he went). Despite his vindictive tendencies, the strength of Tuath tradition will almost always prevent him from violating hospitality.
Volatile – Fin is subject to extreme highs and lows in terms of his moods in addition to having very poor impulse control. His emotional state can be unpredictable from one day to the next, veering between bouts of explosive anger and a relative calm. This makes it difficult for him to get emotionally close to other people, as meaningful relationships require vulnerability and the way he sees it, it’s only a matter of time before he either scares them off or they die and he is not going to deal with that mess.
Self-Destructive – Fin despises himself, though he is in complete denial of this fact and would never say it out loud. He considers himself to be a monumental failure on every level and has engaged in increasing recklessness over the centuries due to a disinterest in self-preservation. This behavior is destructive to both himself and those around him. He drinks to excess and can be sexually promiscuous to a reckless degree. His engagement in these activities is frequently the result of a desire to distract or numb himself and reining himself in can be very difficult.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Large, expressive violet eyes that frequently say things he'd rather keep to himself.
Hair: Long, wavy black hair that falls to his mid-back. There is never a time at which it isn't at least a little bit messy. He has a badly scarred bald patch at the left side of the base of his skull. His hair usually covers it, but it might be visible from time to time. He is unwilling to talk about this.
Face: He has a narrow, androgynous, and somewhat pointy face with a straight nose and average sized ears. This guy is pretty close to how I picture him. He usually wears multiple earrings in each ear and eyeliner. If he's outside of the house without either of these things there is probably something wrong.
Skin Tone: Fair, burns easily
Body Type: He is lithe and very tall. His left arm is just barely shorter than the right and has a visible knot a few inches above the elbow. If asked, he'll get angry and mention a broken arm before refusing to discuss it further.
Clothes: He always wears a gold ring with a band resembling interwoven roots and set with a large, kite-cut amethyst on his right ring finger. He is unwilling to remove it or discuss its significance. He also wears a simple round amethyst pendant. He just thinks this one is pretty. He'll probably prefer black button-up shirts (with a few buttons undone because it's bloody hot here) and jeans once he accepts that he has to wear Earth style clothes. When given the chance he will frequently have his nails painted black.
