Appearance
Credits to #157083 Eternity
Finn holds himself with confidence. Although he is barely an adult, many will treat him like one because of the way he carries himself and treats others. He has a skinny lithe fairly muscular build. It is still lanky and boyish. He stands at around five feet and eleven inches. He has a wider shoulders and it tapers to a narrow waist, because he is skinny and he has an averagely wide frame. He does not have a lot of excess fat on him. His arms have defined ropy muscles. While he does not have a protruding belly, and it is clear that he is active and fit, his abdomen muscles are not nearly defined as his arms. His legs are slightly longer than his torso and are on the thinner side. He has large hands and large feet. His fingers are long and skinny, and his palms are wide. He has two scars on his right shoulder that are side by side. They are pinkish and slightly raised. They extend downward toward his chest. He also has a scar on his right arm slightly above the bend of his elbow. He has a fourth scar extending from the right side of his belly upward toward the center of his abdomen. He has lighter skin, but for his skin tone he has some tan.
Finn has long messy tangled blond hair that falls a little past his shoulders but not quite to his arm pits. It is often greasy and has very uneven lengths. He needs a good hair cut and straightening out of his appearance. His hair is mostly straight and kinda wavy. He does not know how to deal with it and often leaves it alone which means it gathers twigs and random bits of dust and hair oil. The individual hair strands are thicker and more coarse. He has long messy bangs that can fall to the tip of his nose. His bangs often block his vision unless he ties them back. It is not uncommon to see him constantly push his hair out of his eyes with his hands or comb it out. He has a lock of his hair, which has something green wrapped around it. He normally prefers leather because it lasts longer, is more suitable for the job, and looks more masculine, but he has been known to use other things from vines to ribbons offered to him.
He has blue eyes with almost a purple tinge which makes them look deeper than most. His eyes are such a pure blue that it is obvious they are blue from a bit of a distance away. His eyes are slightly set into his skull. His eye brows are blond but thick enough and dark enough where they are kinda bushy and obvious, making it noticeable that he does have eyebrows so he does not look odd. He has a long skinny neck which connects his head to his bony shoulders. His face is still boyish and smooth. He does not have the harder lines or bigger protrubances of a man. He has a narrow pointy chin and wide cheeks. Although his cheeks protrude and he is skinny, his cheeks remain rounded while his cheekbones are still evident. He has a medium forehead and is on the shorter side. The profile of his face is concave and convex. His forehead does not protrude out in a noticeable way, especially compared to his lower face which juts out. His nose and mouth stick further out. His nose is skinny and slightly pointed at the tip. He has a more shallow nose bridge than would be expected. He has thin lips and a wide mouth. They are very nude in color and are often hard to see in comparison to the skin on his face. He keeps his face clean-shaven as he cannot grow a decent amount of facial hair. He also likes the way his face feels better without facial hair.
His clothing is patchy and mismatched. He has had to make his own clothes out of the leather of many different animals. He has been known to trap small animals and does not necessarily have the best skills to hunt a predator or large hoofed mammal. He prefers wearing boots that are around ankle-high. It protects his feet, makes it easier to bend his ankles, and allows him to tromp through prickly undergrowth without concern for thorns and maybe even some snakes. He prefers to wear pants as they are more suited to a rougher country. Leather pants protect his legs, although they are not the best for keeping the temperature moderated. Admittedly, especially when he was younger Finn does like to not wear a shirt. It makes him feel more...manly? However, that's one of the reasons he has ended up with so many scars on his abdomen, so he has become more willing to wear a shirt for protection and he has become slightly more aware of decorum.
Personality
He has a naturally friendly face, and he stands straight with confidence. He is quick to approach others and initiate pleasantries. He is a decisive person who does not vacillate. He trusts his gut and makes a choice promptly. He is a bit of an adrenaline junkie and tends to get dangerous ideas and implements them immediately before he considers the consequences. It has led him to have a high physical pain tolerance. His brain does not register danger and fear as strongly. When he is doing something dangerous he forgets that he can die.
He can be a bit of a know-it-all. Once he starts talking he is like a relentless flood of words, and he will interrupt and tell you things you already know or did not know and did not want to know and anything in between. He talks like his opinion is the only one that is right. While he will concede things if you push back against him, he will be back at spouting the same opinion not long after. He is capable of seeing when his opinions will cause a constant fight and tension and he is capable of keeping his mouth shut and being amiable. There are few people that hang out with him regularly and willingly that are confrontational to push back against his statements constantly because it would result in a friendship that is constantly with tension. Admittedly, he is normally not completely wrong.
He will accept help if it is offered, particularly if he can tell someone is just trying to be friendly. He bridles at someone thinking he needs their help, and he rarely asks for help. He normally figures something out. He enjoys being with people and not feeling alone. He likes to do things with his hands and keeping his mind busy. He prefers hands on work and getting things done. He is working on being mellow and tries to convince everyone else he is mellow. He does not worry about problems springing up because he figures they will either work out in the end or it won't be his problem anymore. He goes quiet when he is annoyed, tired, sad, or grumpy. He can be a little snappy when he is angry, but he normally covers it up with silence or niceness.
Strengths & Weaknesses:
(Strengths and Weaknesses can be both, so I grouped them together with ones that more actively affect each other)
Independence + Problem Solving
He is very independent which has resulted in him being excellent at talking himself out of or physically getting himself out of a mistake. He is not the quickest to accept help, and he rarely asks for help even though it could make the solution easier.
Intuition + Confidence + Impulsiveness
His gut is normally reliable, particularly in regards to judging people. However he often lets his gut drive other decisions which can cause a few problems such as when he has time to think and his feelings and instincts do not line up with the facts, or he trusts his gut and he does something impulsive and dangerous [such as jumping off of a cliff into water without checking how deep the pool is at the bottom] without further consideration for a better plan.
Know-it-all + Arrogance
He knows a lot about a lot and can keep a conversation going even one-sided indefinitely, particularly if he gets on a tangent about something he is passionate about. It also means that he has the ability to talk with a lot of different people, and he has the people skills to be engaging and a good conversationalist. He can be annoying correcting other people, but he can also impress some with his knowledge. He is not the most open-minded person, because he is confident that he is right.
Observant
He is observant and watches people closely for danger. He also likes being in tune with nature through tracking. Being observant makes him a better protector and better hunter.
Likes & Dislikes:
He loves being outdoors in nature and with animals.
He enjoys doing things particularly with physical risk to his life. He enjoys facing physical challenges.
He enjoys tracking and hunting because it is a challenge and makes him feel in tune with nature and more aware and observant.
He hates sitting around doing nothing.
He doesn't like to cook.
He doesn't like doing artistic things on paper. (He does enjoy music, and he doesn't mind other people doing the artsy things and enjoying their products, particularly if they are friends.)
