.:Personality: Finn can be a little reckless, though perhaps not to the extent his initial reputation would have others believe. Even so, he's still playfully wild and impulsive at times, taking chances when necessary. He can be fun loving and easy going in lighter circumstances, but stands up to others in the group when he feels the situation calls for it, or if he disagrees with the actions or opinions of others. He is initially a peacekeeper, or at least attempts to be, preferring to avoid violence and conflict wherever possible, for himself and the group.

.:Special Skills: Finn is a tracker, having become proficient in Earth Skills while on the Ark. He also offers a valid contribution to strategy and planning when involved in this at the Dropship camp, taking risks when he chooses to or where he feels it is necessary. At times, his emotions affect his actions, eventually combining with the effects of his experience, with devastating results.

.:History: 

Finn was one of the 100 delinquents to be sent to the ground. In the Sky Box he was known for his crime; an illegal spacewalk which cost the Ark a significant amount of oxygen. In reality, it was Raven Reyes who took the spacewalk. However, they were found out and since Raven was already 18 and would be floated for the crime, Finn took her place. Once the guards arrived he was alone, and subsequently arrested and locked up, being only 17 at the time and thus having the benefit of a review of his crime once he reached 18.


Once on the ground, Finn set off with Clarke Griffin, Octavia Blake, Jasper Jordan and Monty Green, heading to Mount Weather for supplies. Once Jasper was speared by an unseen enemy and dragged away, the others abandoned their journey and turned back. Though he didn't initially join the search party, he had a change of heart and caught up with them. With Finn's assistance tracking, they later rescued Jasper and brought him back to the Dropship camp.


While on the ground, Finn became romantically involved with Clarke, though soon after they got together, Raven arrived having made the journey in an escape pod. Once they reunited on the ground, Clarke was understandably hurt and Finn attempted to explain that he thought he would never see Raven again. Raven also became aware of the events between the two and eventually ended her relationship with Finn.

As Bellamy Blake took leadership over the group, Finn was largely opposed to his approach, choosing not to follow while many of the others did. As the threat of the Grounders became more apparent, Finn was still reluctant to use guns or other weapons, voicing his disagreement with Bellamy. Regardless, he saw the need for a defense and assisted in the plan to blow up the bridge to slow the Grounders' attack. Along with Lincoln, he later led the Reapers to the Dropship camp to further slow the Grounders attacking the delinquents. During the battle, he remained outside of the Dropship and was eventually taken prisoner by Tristan.


After Bellamy attempted to rescue Finn but was also taken prisoner, the two were freed by the Arkers who had reached on the ground, with Marcus Kane killing Tristan. Once the two led them to the Dropship and found only Raven and John Murphy inside, they returned to the Arker camp. Finn later set off with Bellamy and several others in search of Clarke and the missing delinquents, eventually departing with Murphy. During the journey, Finn became more erratic and extreme, desperation setting in. Once they found a grounder village and scavenged items from the Dropship, Finn questioned the villagers at gun point. As one attempted to escape Finn opened fire, slaughtering 18 grounders before he ceased when Clarke appeared.


Finn later showed remorse for his actions, and with the grounders calling for his death, he finally gave himself up to face his punishment. In the end, it was Clarke who killed Finn with a single stab wound; a mercy kill to spare him the torture of a grounder execution.
