MoM CRAU: Finn was on Earth for a year and a half. During that time, he's learned what life was like away from war with his biggest worry being relationship drama.

He settled into Base One, a place that Poe Dameron claimed to have built for him, and made several good friends while highly enjoying his job at the local aquarium as a tank cleaner. The situation in Jeopardy with the three sisters left him a little bitter and upset, especially with Clotho taking his combat abilities and Poe's memories of his mother.

Finn's also fallen in love at least twice. Around New Years, he entered into an open relationship with Poe and was enjoying that for awhile. A few months beforehand, he and Archie ended up kissing and actually had an adult conversation about it.

Probably the last important thing of note is that he's learned that Ben Solo isn't all that bad, which is a huge thing. Other than that, Finn's just tried to have a little fun on Earth and learn what normalcy and domesticity is all about. He's excited to get back to it and, again, away from the war.

PERSONALITY:

FN-2187 was a really terrible stormtrooper.

This isn't to say he wasn't good at his job. Still a cadet, 2187 was the leader of his four-man squad, incredible at tactics, and great in combat whether that be melee or firearms. He obeyed his superiors, excelled in lessons, and made sure everyone on his team made it through every simulation. Yet, 2187 was an outcast. He didn't talk much and his need to make sure all of his troops made it through the simulations began to put them behind other squads. Even worse, he didn't have a nickname. Once other stormtroopers saw you as one of their own, they'd give you a name to shorten the monotony that was your designation, but the only nickname he ever got was 87.

This is where FN-2187 became a bad stormtrooper. As an outcast even to those few he was loyal to, he began to doubt.

But then there was Pressy's Tumble, an asteroid field under control of the First Order being used as a mining facility. There was a revolt among the miners, and FN-2187's squad was sent to keep the peace. At Pressy's Tumble, 2187 saw the conditions that the miners were forced to live under, realizing that they were doing none of this voluntarily. When commanded to shoot and kill a negotiator, FN-2187 did nothing. He didn't fire but he watched his squad kill the innocent man.

Instead of being reprimanded, Captain Phasma awarded the squad with promotions to be stormtroopers in full and expected FN-2187 to fire on the enemy if he were in a real mission in a real life or death situation. Thus, the squad was sent on their first official mission to Jakku where Slip, the only person he dared care about, died in a firefight. 2187 panicked and hid throughout the rest of the battle while the First Order rounded up what was left of the villagers. When ordered to fire on them, again, 2187 did nothing.

It had been made readily apparent that he was not on the side of good. He wasn't entirely sure that there was even a good side at all but he couldn't stand the thought of remaining with the First Order. He had to escape or die trying. Failure to leave was simply not an option.

So, FN-2187 heard that they had captured a Resistance pilot from the skirmish on Jakku. He freed the pilot, Poe Dameron, and the two hatched a plan to escape with a TIE Fighter. When Poe asked his name, he seemed shocked at the designation and said, "Finn. I'm gonna call you Finn. Is that all right?"

Finn. A real name. A real person. No longer a serial number. And this guy that he met not five minutes prior just gave it to him like it was the simplest thing in the galaxy. Finn was grateful.

He had wanted to run and leave the entire war behind, find a simpler life, get away from the galaxy's drama. It was only after things became personal that he did a turn and ran straight in. Rey being captured by the First Order led him to infiltrate Starkiller Base. Her being in danger and his distraught over Han's death lead Finn to fight Kylo Ren in a battle he knew he'd lose. Finn even went so far as to attempt abandoning the Resistance during an attack out of fear that they would be made bait to a trap set for Rey and Luke Skywalker.

It was his adventure to Canto Bight and his meeting with DJ that truly changed his mind. Yes, Finn prioritized his friends above all else. He knew what they were capable of, trusted them to hold their own, and fought for them if he thought it necessary. Yet it was DJ that made him realize that there was no running from the war as there were First Order sympathizers all over the galaxy along with those loyal to the Resistance and Republic. He realized that some people fought for both sides or just picked whichever was more profitable at the time. He realized that the fight would never stop if he continued to run and only look out for those important to him.

On Crait, when the Resistance was pinned down and the First Order was preparing a battering ram cannon, when Poe ordered everyone to retreat as the risk for loss of life was too great, Finn embarked on a suicide mission to destroy the cannon and save the Resistance. He was at peace with his decision, knowing that the lives of his friends and the Resistance's mission were far more important than a single soldier.

It was Rose who saved him at the last moment at the risk of her own life. She made him realize that it was more important to live and fight another day, to protect the ones he loved even if that meant living.

Finn is loyal to those he loves and excited to experience anything new, but he is also a logical man with the ability to make very difficult decisions if needed. He's honest, brave, curious, and scared. At his heart, Finn's a good man but has just as many faults as anyone else and far more insecurities than that. He never asked for the hero position or to be thrown into a war and he very much looks forward to the day that he can take a step back and find out just who exactly he is.

Until that day, Finn fights alongside his friends to destroy the First Order, partly to free the galaxy from their tyranny and partly for revenge.

POWER:

Teleportation: Can teleport within a mile radius to any place he already knows or can see. Finn can take people or objects with him that he's touching, but there's more strain with the more mass he has to move. No fanfare or BAMF involved. Just there and gone with the only sound being that of rushing air to fill or escape his newly occupied space.

The Force: The Force is a sort of life energy that moves through and is a part of everything. Some people, like Finn, have the ability to feel and manipulate the Force. This essentially means that they're telekinetic and telepathic. Hearing other's thoughts, moving objects with their mind, seeing visions of the future, feeling other's emotions, knowing when someone they love is killed, etc. Though he has this ability in-canon, he's largely unaware of it and mostly just has some precognition and empathy abilities. With him becoming aware in-game, he'll start to feel it out a little and become stronger in the Force.

What are some skills you think everyone should know?

[ Hi, Earth! Finn's sitting on his couch, frowning a little in contemplation. ]

I know how to survive and protect myself but that doesn't seem to be a massive issue on Earth. I'm not used to having my own space, and almost all of the tech here is completely different from home.

Honestly, I'm used to being out of the loop, but this is a little too much. Thought I'd try to learn something new, something useful... Anyone know where to start?

FINAL NOTES: During the whole thing in Jeopardy, Clotho took all of his combat skills. I'm kinda running on the assumption that's still in effect.
