Player: Gore Character: Finn "the Human" Mertens Canon: Adventure Time with Finn and Jake (tentatively post-finale) Age: 17 Bio Blurb: (Wiki.) Finn's a young boy living in the world of Ooo, a land full of adventure and whimsical kingdoms which is actually part of a post-apocalyptic Earth. He goes on various adventures, from the silly to the disturbing, with his adoptive brother, Jake the Dog! He originally thought he was the only human, but he slowly discovered others throughout the series including his birth parents: a dad who's always trying to abandon him and a mom who became a computer. He also lost half of one arm and dealt with being infected with the curse of a grass sword for a while. Then the grass sword merged with another version of him to become a grass clone of him named Fern, with tragic results. Over the course of the series, Finn has gained a more peaceful nature and is less violence-happy than he used to be.
Preferred Essence(s): I don't have one definitely set, but I think I'm leaning towards Jack the Beanstalk, mostly because it could be interesting for him to have beanstalk-based powers that could be evocative of his grass sword and Fern. It would also double as a nod to a canon AU of Finn, who has some nods to the story. I'm also tempted to go with Rapunzel, because Finn is also known for having long golden hair! And other remote possibilities are Peter Pan and Pinocchio. Looking For: I'm not sure! I'm kinda conflicted between picking characters that match his role as a hero/adventurer or having him deal with a role shift such as becoming an antagonist. And I'm just generally trying to think of themes and abilities that would be interesting to play with for him, such as abilities evoking the grass sword or his hair or some other element related to him.
Appearance: As linked above, he has long blonde hair that's usually (somehow) kept under that bear hat that he wears. Also, Finn is notably missing half of his right arm. I'll probably change up his clothing style to match whatever Essence he gets, and I am contemplating whether or not to attach some prosthetic or some type of power to his half-arm.
Abilities: Well Finn usually fights with a sword, so maybe some kind of sword to fight with would be good. The main other ability he had in canon was when he had a cursed grass sword, which could change shape to help Finn but also was kinda bloodthirsty. I'm also open to attaching powers to his half-arm (for a chunk of canon, the grass sword formed a duplicate of Finn's missing arm, and at other points he's had a robotic prosthetic) or his hair (definitely if I go the Rapunzel route).
Quirks: I'm interested in gaining quirks, though nothing specific's come to mind yet.
Extra: Finn will see this as another adventure, so he will jump to the call! Beyond that, I'm mostly going with the flow for him.
