.:Personality:. Finn is the not same person when he lands on Planet Earth. While spending time on the Station, he was always a a reckless rogue who took pleasure in breaking the rules. He was always on the verge looking for the next big fight, that next burst of adrenaline, or pushing the boundaries to have a brush with danger. Loyal to a word, Finn is very protective of his friends. He would do anything and everything to ensure that they are safe and protected. He would do anything to make sure they have everything they need. This change in personality has come from the dangers while being on Earth. On the station it was easy to break the rule. It does not take much now for Finn to realize the gravity that every decision holds now. Earth is a much more dangerous place. Even with the law that was in place on the Station, he wasn't afraid of capital crime or the punishment that followed. Now things seem to scare him a bit more. Things on Earth seem to rattle his cage a tad bit more than breaking the adult's rules. There is always the part of him that always seeks adventure, fun and seek the newest thrill. However, on Earth, the key to surviving is playing it smart and making careful, rational decisions. There will be often times when his childish nature and sense of humor begins to surface. Earth has changed him a lot, in many ways. Respectfully.

He used to be playful and amusing. He always thought he was always untouchable. The mischievous punk that nobody cared about on the Station. Save for Raven and a few select others. However, now that he has been on Earth and has seen what it is really like he has become a different person. He now exhibits signs of mental duress and is more afraid of things. Things now don't as humerus or funny. Things now seem deadly and real and every decision taken can lead to a wrong step. He tries to keep these feelings of being afraid as far deep down as he can but as life as shown before. He has never been a good liar. He has always not had a care for the rules. This practice has proven that he can not lie to his friends or his loved ones. He would rather face the consequences head on. Even though some consequences may shake him to his core. He stands headstrong knowing that he has his friends behind him. He would still do anything for them. Actions and motivations are the key to the survival on Earth. He knows that the longer he stays on Earth, the longer he stays alive, he must deter from who he was yesterday, for tomorrow lingers in dark shadows. Terror lurks around every corner. Where one bad step can take him down a very dark hole. He isn't afraid of protecting his friends in the face of that evil.

He is afraid of turning into that evil, being crucified for that evil, being an enemy to those that he has vowed to protect.

.:Special Skills:. Tracking. Finn is an excellent tracker having excelled, remarkably, at all of his Earth Survival skills classes. He is knowledgeable with the way the ground shifts and changes based on the variety of movement. To him, the ground is as confusing as his own mind, so excelling at his tracking has become something of second nature to him. Though he isn't perfect at tracking and will often make mistakes, he knows enough to know where he is going.

.:Birthplace:. Ark Station
.:Family:. Raven
.:Occupation:. Tracker
.:History:. Finn was born on the Ark. It was on the Ark that he thought he would stay. Forever. He had always been a bad kid. A reckless, foolish kid that always found a way to break the rules. He lived for the thrill of the danger. He loved the way it made the adults shiver with rage. They always thought why he couldn't just fall in line. Finn Collins was not the type to follow the rules. He never believed that the rules were in place to keep order, they never worked anyway. In fact, if the rules were there just for the sake of existing, then in his mentality they were meant to be broken. That is what he was. A rule breaker. He loved breaking the rules because he loved making the adults hate him. He always tried to push his boundaries growing up. As he never had true parents that could take care of him. Everything else seemed so pointless. So the boundaries were there: boundaries that he wanted to test, bend, push, break. He knew the law. Growing up in a society of population control. Oxygen was on a limit, blah blah blah. But like the stars in the night sky outside the viewport; he knew that somewhere out there was a purpose for him to exist. He wanted to forget all about who he was on the station. He was a nobody, a freak with no parents, no guidance. He was a ghost. A phantom.

That is what he thought. He made himself believe nobody ever gave a damn. Well, except for Raven. She always found a way to love him. She could always see past his flaws, and broken mentality of trying to push for something more. It was that girl that drove him forward each and every day. It had often been the lesson that she might just be the only person that cared for him. Even though he was never good at making friends, breaking friendships, pushing people away, trying to fight the pre-establishment, he could never understand why she had believed in him the way she did. He found her beautiful on the first day they had met. And he had fallen in love with the girl. Even though they had grown up together and promised an outward connection to be adoptive family. He could see past himself, past his own character flaws, his own self-disdain. She made him forget all about his troubles. Every time they were together. It was hard being locked in confinement so many times. For minor rule breaking; stealing mostly. He knew he could get away with it. And the adult always told him just wait. One day he will turn 18. Then he will really be crucified for his behavior. He didn't care. He ignored all they had to say. Until one day, growing up with nothing but Raven, which was all that he needed. He took the fall for his own self-reliance. An act....

Of selflessness. That day he showed that he understood that there were bigger things than him; his ego, his self-pride. For the first moment in his life he felt that he was complete. He knew what he was fighting for. Love. Strength. Friendship. Then we he went to Earth. And he was pushed to his final limits of character. On some mission to Earth; they jettisoned all the wrong-doers. He saw it as a test of character. A moment to shine above the shadow the past.

A reason to live. And let live. The fidelity that comes with bringing people together to survive.
