Physical Description
Finn has a pale complexion due to spending most of his hours indoors tanning to that of a computer or television screen. He has light blue eyes and dark brown hair that warms up to a pretty chocolate color when greeted by the sun. His hair usually lays in a tamed set of hardly noticeable curls on top of his head. He also has deep dimples that shine whenever he smiles and slightly state their presence when he talks. He has a relatively small nose and thin pink lips that he usually seems to be licking. He stands at about 5'10'' and is a clumsy mess of lanky limbs. Being thin he doesn't look to have anything more on his body that skin, but despite that he does hide a few muscles though not very many.

Personality
Finn is not one you would find in the in-crowd, or any crowd really. He's been rejected by almost any group out there. Maybe it's because his corny and stale jokes that only he seems to laugh at usually makes people want to punch him. Or maybe it's because he's no fun. He rather play on the safe side of things than go anywhere near danger, I guess he could be called a coward for that. To put it simply he's awkward and not the least bit charismatic. Having no way with words and usually just mucking up a situation rather than making it better.
Though Finn may have all these bad traits this doesn't mean he doesn't have any good ones because he does. He's as friendly as ever, he just doesn't know how to go up to people and use this trait, he's just afraid of rejection, but who isn't. Finn is also very kind and sweet being one for old gestures of romance. He could probably scare any girl away just by looking at them. While he does get nervous around women this doesn't mean he doesn't know how to treat them.
Finn is also a big nerd another reason why people of higher "status" than him look down on him. He's a perfectionist at heart which is why his report cards are always perfect and he will most likely reach his goal of valedictorian. Along with being a big nerd Finn is also a big kid at heart. His room is filled with comic books and different consoles of every kind. Even though he is a big kid he's usually is mature, though at times he can slip into immaturity.
"You were born to be real. Not perfect."
Finn was born the oldest child out of two. At the age of nine his father enlisted in the army a couple months before knowing his wife was pregnant, leaving young Finn to help his mother through the pregnancy and help raise his new sibling. About a year later when Finn was ten they got a call saying that his father had died in action. His mother was heartbroken and his one year old baby brother didn't even know their father. Finn was officially the man of the house, he helped get his mom back on her feet and continued to help raise his younger sibling. On there way to dinner Finn's family was knocked into oncoming traffic his younger sibling was killed instantly, while his mother was injured fatally and Finn only got a few scrapes and bruises, nothing major. A few hours after being taken to the hospital his mother passed, leaving him orphaned and alone at the age of twelve.
The months after his families death were hard for Finn as he bounced from relatives house to relatives house, no one willing or able to take him in. Finally he was appointed to live with a cousin of his that was close to his father. A 21 year old man who went by the name blade, who also lived in an apartment and was a drummer in a band. It was hard for Finn to fit in to the rhythm of Blade's life style. Sometimes he would come home sometimes he wouldn't, it wasn't like Blade was a bad person, he always left money for Finn to order pizza or Chinese. He even invited to him to some of the parties he went to. It was just Finn was use to having a sit down dinner and someone always ready to help with his homework, and plus Blade had first stated he wouldn't change his lifestyle for the kid.
When he moved in with Blade Finn also had to change schools. This was around the time things started to get bad for him. It was hard, he had lost his family and now he was losing his friends. When he entered his new school he was picked on a lot for being dumb, wearing cheap clothes and wearing the same ones repeatedly. It wasn't like he had any choice Blade wasn't rich by far. When he was thirteen Finn decided he hated to be called dumb so he changed that and worked hard to become "smart" which he did eventually. He was picked on even more when he started getting A's. This is around the time he started to get depressed and started thinking bad thoughts. He never could bring himself to cut scared if anyone every saw them and confronted him he wouldn't know what to say. One after having his backpack thrown into the girls locker room and having to retrieve it he walked in on some girls getting changed, they almost beat him up as bad as some of the guys, but he couldn't blame them. He still had enough though he thought no one would care if he disappeared so he took about ten aspirins and went to sleep hoping he wouldn't wake up in the morning. He woke up his stomach only slightly hurting and had to go to school enduring another day of hell. The next day he tried poring bleach and pinesol into his cereal and eating it. When he woke up he was in the hospital and had his stomach pumped out. Blade gave him hell and he promised never to try again though it wasn't the end of his problems.
Finn learned how to go along with Blade's lifestyle, retreating to his room whenever he had a party or people over. Cooking himself dinner and figuring out his own homework. The two became good friends not just family friends but actual friends
Finn was reading The adventures of Huckleberry Finn for the fifth time when he blacked out.
