CHARACTER

Name:
Finn Gawain

Nickname:
Beacon's Boomtastic Badass

Age:
17, Born Machlud 11

Species and Gender:
Male Numbat Faunas

Symbol:
A grenade in front of an explosion.

Occupation:
First Year Beacon Student

Appearance:
Finn stands at 5'9 and weighs 190lbs. He has black hair styled into a short faux hawk, with the front spiked forwards haphazardly and is longer then the rest of it. The sides of it, in front of his ears, has grey running through it. Finn's eyes are bright green and his face has several small scars from minor incidents with his experiments, with one cutting diagonally across the outer edge of his left eyebrow, another on his right jaw and the last cutting vertically down the left of his mouth. Finn has a black tail with light grey rings. When out of combat, Finn prefers to wear a neon green t-shirt with a dark grey button up left open over it, dark jeans and boots.

When in combat, Finn wears a t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms underneath his own customised suit of body armour, consisting of grey padding on his arms, legs and torso, all designed to resist explosive weaponry. The armour is tinged with neon green that runs along the back of the forearm and the outer things, as well as rings mid calf. The armour has Finn's symbol on it's chest, though it's mostly hidden by the bandolier that he wears to carry grenades and his belt too contains grenades. Likewise, Finn wears a large knapsack that contains the majority of his armaments.

History:
Finn Gawain was born in Mistral. His father was an contracted weapon designer for the Atlas Military, and spent most of his days in his lab working. Finn never knew his mother, as she was a huntress and a one night stand for his father and she merely dropped him at his father's door when he was a few months old. However, Finn has never been upset by this, as he grew up with a doting father who made sure to keep Finn happy and smiling. When he wasn't at school or playing games with the kids in his neighbourhood, Finn was helping his father in the lab however he could.

It was here that Finn developed his love for explosives. He'd wait impatiently after school for his father to pick him up and take him to the labs where he could watch the workers test out their creations, and he soon became an assistant to everyone, learning from them. He soon became a prodigy in the art of bomb making, and developed a desire to test out his favourite toys in a less controlled manner. After a few incidents where he wandered off into the surrounding areas near the lab to practice, including the destruction of private property, public roads, some stray Grimm (no one was all that upset by that one) and the forced amputation of the leg of a goat, Finn's father decided to ship Finn off somewhere he could use his bombs in relative safety (for others anyway): Signal Academy.

Finn's time at Signal was fairly extraordinary, especially after the teachers banned him from using his grenade launcher except in prepared sparring scenarios. He made friends, passed classes with an acceptable grade in all but defensive strategy, which he excelled at, (coating the entire area with mines and traps is a legitimate strategy, he'll have you know), and, despite being a Faunas, never got bullied. Well, people tried, but they were soon convinced that Finn was insane, as he brushed everything off and kept up a cheery attitude no matter what they tried, and Finn soon applied to Beacon, where he was accepted. The start of a new adventure, and one that will be easy to track thanks to the craters Finn leaves.

Personality:
Finn has been described by people as eccentric, ridiculously optimistic, bomb happy and down right crazy. He describes those people as boring, dull and unable to see his vision. Though they are correct, Finn does have all of those traits. He's always in a good mood, always smiling and laughing, to such a degree that there was a saying in his school that Finn Gawain has never had a bad day, and would keep laughing and smiling as the world ended. Finn is the eternal nice guy, and will be friendly with anyone, no matter what, and treats everyone with respect. If in the presence of bullies, he tries to make them nicer through exposure to himself, and show them that being nice is great. The only thing that Finn takes even the slightest bit of offence at is having his Faunas heritage mistaken for something like a squirrel, and even then, he remains polite. The eccentric description is also apt, as Finn is very air headed and has been known to talk to himself as he works on his bombs. Or while using them. He loves his explosives, and spends a lot of his time trying to create new and exciting ways to blow things up. As you may guess, he's a big fan of fireworks.

Aura and Semblance:
Finn's aura is a lime green.

Finn's semblance is called Blast Shield and allows him to create a barrier that protects him from explosions, waves of power or objects with a larger surface area, like hammers or mauls. Blast Shield only drains energy when in active use and the drain depends on the power of the blocked attack. However, Blast Shield is ineffective against smaller weapons, such as blades or bullets.

Combat Behavior:
Finn's based his combat style on one thing: ranged bombardment. His use of explosives have made him a very useful ranged fighter, who specializes in engaging large groups of enemy combatants, and his use of dust grenades gives him a wide variety of strategic options. Finn doesn't have the physical capabilities or close quarters skill that a lot of people do, and as such has to outsmart any opponents which get to close using trickery and feints. Finn uses his handgun for situations where explosives are too dangerous for him and his team, and has minor boxing skill, though it's only good enough to engage your average criminal grunt. And he still might lose.

WEAPON

Name:
Badda Boom

Primary Form:
Badda Boom is a pump action grenade launcher, equipped to hold four grenades at a time. Badda Boom is painted black with lime green highlights to it.


Secondary Form:
Badda Boom can be converted into a mortar by resting the stock into the ground and releasing the stands placed either side of the pump mechanism. This provides additional range for his grenades, but in turn, he loses accuracy and close range efficiency.

Dust Functions:
Finn's explosive types include:
Fire Bombs (Both incendiary and napalm)(5)
Shock Bombs (Designed to taze)(4)
Freeze Bombs(4)
Repulsion Bomb (Using gravity dust)(5)
Shrapnel Grenades (Using stone dust)(5)
Tripmines(2)
Flashbangs(4)
Smoke Bombs(2)
Breaching Charge(2)
Satchel Charge(3)

All bombs bar the tripmines, breaching charge and satchel charge can be used as hand grenades or with Badda Boom. While certain situations call for changes to what he brings, Finn typically brings the numbers listed above.

Name:
Badda Bing

Primary Form:
A low calibre handgun with a ten round magazine, used to provide Finn with a weapon when explosives are too much. He carries three spare magazines.

History:
Finn custom designed all of his weapons out of both boredom and a love for pyrotechnics, and they have become his most prized possessions.
