Character's Name: Finn (aka FN-2187)

Character's Canon: Star Wars

Profile for your character: When first introduced to his character, viewers are subjected to what appears like a hyperventilating storm trooper. It isn't the first (or the last) that a storm trooper is seen to be afraid but there is something more to it. The trooper displays a consciousness, mourning over a fallen fellow trooper and visibly shaken over how the villagers are being decimated by the First Order (the faction he is a soldier for).

The shaky trooper is seen again taking off his helmet and still panting for breath. He is a young man who is sweating profusely but insists he's fine when questioned by a superior. Shortly after, the unmasked storm trooper finds the resistance fighter captured and sets out to free him, 'because it's the right thing to do'. The two become fast friends as Poe Dameron renamed the storm trooper to Finn from his call sign (FN-2187).

Escaping the First Order with a Resistance Fighter doesn't automatically assign Finn as one of the good guys. The two crash back on the planet Poe had been taken from (needing to return for his droid to complete a mission for the Resistance). When Finn can't find any sign of the fighter pilot, it's unknown what the defector might do. Until a young woman catches his eye. One who just happens to be looking after the droid (BB-8) that his newly made, and recently lost, friend had returned for.

Something about the young woman draws Finn in. Doing the right thing seems to evade him in Rey's presence, allowing her to believe that he's with the Resistance and not a defecting storm trooper. They've hardly exchanged a few sentences before the First Order is on their heels in pursuit of the droid that had been the connection between them.

Yet it really isn't BB-8 that unites them. Neither is their similar origin of being orphans. The closest Finn could put into words was that Rey looked at him like no one ever had. He knew his decision to leave the First Order had been the right choice and not standing by Rey had been wrong. He nearly gave his life for her more than once since they met. Even when not at her side, what she'd think of him governs his actions.

Rey isn't the only one who affects him. Poe was his first true friend and Kylo his first true enemy. Between the two men, Finn finds traits of what to be and what not to be. All three relationships have a profound effect as do others... Han, Chewbacca, Leia and Rose. The last seen of Finn is almost a reversal of the first appearance, flying into the face of imminent death instead of running away while also the familiar sight of seeing him leave everything behind the moment he sees Rey.

Writing Sample: action style and prose style

Why do you believe your character is an appropriate fit for this game? Finn has seen everything from the Dark Side of the Force to the Light, good and bad--nearly everything in between. It'll be fun seeing him in the role of a god and how he'll take to it.

What would you like to do with your character in this game? I'm excited to bounce him off cast mates and try my hand at Finn in a game environment. He'll want to help his friends and the natives/people.

Do you understand the rules? Yep.
