Hey, Hadriel!! I'm Dani. I played here once upon a while back, and I'm bringing you Finn from Star Wars! Finn was taken as a baby and raised to be a soldier for the First Order, aka the Empire 2.0, aka an overall brutal and dehumanizing life experience complete with propaganda, mental conditioning, and having a serial number instead of a name. BUT it turns out a lifetime of brainwashing wasn't enough, because instead of killing innocent people on demand, he rescued a prisoner, got the heck outta dodge, and ended up doing a lot of things that progressed the main plot whether he liked it or not??

Finn is overall a compassionate and kind person! If he sees someone who needs help right in front of him, his instinct is to help. He's very tense and tightly-wound, impulsive, prone to saltiness, known to argue in poorly-timed situations, and equally known to get attached to people really fast if they treat him like..... a person. He has no chill. He likes to not think about his issues or process his traumas if at all possible. Truly a hero for millennials.

He'll also be coming in as a CRAU from about a year in riverview! Personality-wise, this doesn't really mean much. Riverview was pretty much just a year of Finn getting to be a person with more life experiences under his belt. There aren't many characters in-game that he met another version of there, tbh. Just a couple, who I'll reach out to as needed to ask about whether he can recognize them or if, say, Bob White in Riverview turns into Rob Rite to keep the streams from crossing, etc.

His app is here with more basic info! I also have a(n image-heavy) page with some additional/extended canon that I use playing him here! My HMD is also linked in the navigation page on his journal, which anyone is welcome to hit up as desired. I'm really looking forward to playing Finn in a setting that's a lot more directly challenging to him!

OH ALSO FEEL FREE TO ADD ME ON PLURK at comatoseroses for plotting or w/e, or hit me up by PM if you'd like!

The traitor.....

I'M EXCITED! I'm Kelly, I'm also new, and it's been a while since I've done anything RP-wise, but I can't wait. I've never played with a Finn before, so this'll be fun.

AHH HELLO i was just about to roll onto your ooc intro! I haven't gotten to do a lot of playing with Kylos since I picked up Finn at all. Like we had one for a while in Riverview, but apart from a three-person thread earlier on, the stars never really aligned...

It's great to meet you and I'm also very excited!! I was pumped to see all of us Star Wars show up in the reserves LMAO

[casualryder]

Hello and welcome (back)! I'm Nick and I play Scott Ryder here and sallyfaced this masked child here. Ironically both of mine can identify strongly with wanting to be treated like a normal person for different reasons.

Anyway Finn is great and I'm happy to see someone bringing him in. I look forward to seeing him around!

[bythehand]

Thanks! It's nice to meet you! I'm excited to see what happens with this game for sure! Maybe everyone can pool together and form a club for treating each other like nice people and liking it...

[sallyfaced]

The "people who just wanted to be treated like nice human beings" club. The name might need work, though.

[circumitus]

Oh hey, I remember you when I was in Riverview for a hot minute! I wish I could've stayed but being in two games was just too much for me.

But yes, looking forward to Finn and welcome to Hadriel and stuff! <3

[bythehand]

Thanks very much! I'm glad to be here and that our RP paths could cross again!

[standformyself]

Yay!

[bythehand]

I am super excited!!

[tongueamok]

Yessssssssssss Finnnnnnn my faaaaaaaave

Welcome back, Dani! Looking forward to tagging this boy!

[bythehand]

Thanks very much! I'm really pumped to get a whole bunch of fresh CR tbh, Riverview got very small and quiet here in the last few months!!

[hardwearing]

Welcome back, Dani! I know nothing about Finn but I remember you and look forward to tagging him!

[bythehand]

Thanks very much! I'd definitely love to throw him at Wash and see how it goes. They're both gr8 at being soldiers and bad at relaxing, so they've at least got that in common!

[ragnarsson]

Welp, Ivar is here fresh from canon, and still probably just as likely to threaten Finn's life. So yay? Feel free to recognize him if you like!

[bythehand]

OH DUDE WADDUP

As long as it's cool with you then yeah, I'd totally like to have Finn recognize him! tbh I feel like Finn might weirdly be less pressed about an organic threat to stab him than he was when it was coming from the Rey angle? Because he has........ the exact right priorities....

[ragnarsson]

hehehe priorities. He has them. Yup, Ivar's still stab happy, but a little less likely to be psychotic about it.

[prophesiedone]

Finn ♥ Maybe one day Anakin will be a good enough guy to earn his friendship. This is my dream!

I'm Riddle and I have Anakin and Sansa (stonebird) in game. Welcome, welcome!

[bythehand]

It's super nice to meet you, Riddle! Anakin CR has always been one of my biggest dreams tbh, I always thought there was a lot of interesting potential there? So I am happy to join you on the dreams train!

[requiemshark]

Hell yes. Finn is one of my favorite characters ever so seeing him in game is awesome!

Hey, I'm Fade, and I've got Sharkface/Ephemera from RVB and Kettara Bloodthirst from this super obscure World of Warcraft comic I'm pretty sure nobody read. Welcome to the game!

[bythehand]

Thanks so much for the welcome! I sadly don't know basically anything about WoW, but that's never stopped me from hopping onto the CR train before!!

[bloodbathing]

FINNNNN ♥ i still haven't seen the last jedi, but i looooved him in the force awakens. i look forward to seeing him around!

i'm kas, i'm new here, and i'm playing agent maine from red vs. blue. he's also a soldier, soooo they've got that in common! 👍

adding you on plurk in a moment! i'm twofouroneten :)

[bythehand]

Thanks a lot! I look forward to seeing Maine around, too!! In my experience it never hurts to have some good old fashioned soldier CR going.

[often_impaled]

Hi Dani! I'm Misu, I play Tyki and Dante. Thanks for bringing Finn to the game and welcome back!

[bythehand]

Thanks very much!! It's lovely to be here!

[restinglichface]

I MISSED YOU!!!

[bythehand]

MEY I MISSED YOU TOO

the triangle of connection is complete again... plurk, discord, and rp games.

i've actually been meaning to bother you tbh, bc once upon a riverview finn had friendly convos with A Lup like 2 times before they had to drop? so i was gonna ask if it's cool for him to recognize her or if it would be more fun for you to start from scratch with them!

either way i win bc im coming for your cr

[restinglichface]

OF COURSE BABE!! I'm so fucking down for recognizing her! She's like a celeb, it just makes sense.

[storyseeker]

Hi and welcome Dani! Finn is such a great character, I'm excited to see him here. I'm Jaina and I play Elena Fisher from Uncharted, who sadly has never been to cool space.

[bythehand]

Thanks very much!! I only know Elena from RP osmosis and the occasional YT clips but from those alone I'm already pretty sure she's fantastic and a character it would be rad to have CR with!

[storyseeker]

Oh hell yeah I'm down
