Appearance
Basics:
Finley is a young man of a pretty average height, and while he has some lean muscle and an athletic build, he’s not particularly buff. He has a fair skin tone with blond hair and brown eyes that almost seem to be maroon in color in some lights. Most who come across him might say he looks like a trouble maker and a delinquent thanks to the typical menacing leer his resting face is fixed in. While he it’s true he looks pissed most hours of the day, some might notice a gleam of mischief or a slight smile at the corners of his mouth indicating an unspoken amusement at times.
Other:
Finley typically wears a variety of different jackets, his usual one being yellow and black, along with this he typically wears slacks and boots. He also has multiple ear piercings, and a few scars here and there thanks to years of being in the midst of violence.
Personality
Finley is your typical foul-mouthed, short tempered, impulsive and reckless teenage delinquent kid. At least, he is at first glance. The boy gives off the impression he doesn’t care about anything or anyone besides himself, and when he fights or makes an effort for anything one can usually find a selfish motive behind his actions fairly easily. Even in the case of small acts of kindness, he probably did it to get on your good side and gain your trust for his own personal reasons, whatever the hell they are. In essence, this guys a total jerk, steer clear!
Yeah, he’s pretty awful, but Finley’s not made of stone. Just like anyone else, it is possible for him to build friendships and genuinely care for some people, but there comes a point where his care for the people in his life can become possessive. No, he won’t stalk you day in and day out, but if someone wrongs you he’ll probably get pretty angry, and if someone else gets too buddy-buddy with you he’ll probably come up with some weird excuse to dislike them.
Believe it or not, Finley was a pretty different kid at one point in his life. He was very caring, sympathetic and wore his heart on his sleeve. But due to events in his life and being taken advantage of for these characteristics he hardened considerably. So the boy who once cared too much about everything and everyone, no longer cared at all, simply because that was an easier less painful way of life. He shuts out the stress by not giving a damn, and tries not to allow himself to make that deep of a bond with anyone because he believes that makes him vulnerable. So in the long run, the tough front and attitude he keeps up is something he’s used to suffocated the part of himself that cares, and come forth as someone stronger. Or at least, someone he believes to be stronger.
Combat
Finley knows some basic boxing and grappling, and then anything else you can learn from youtube. He’s not a terribly experienced fighter, but he’ll do his best with what he knows and isn’t opposed to maiming people or ‘fighting dirty’ as some people might call it. He’ll hit you with a chair or baseball bat if its around, he’ll bite and claw. If it works, it works. But typically his main goal in a fight is to knock his opponent out… unless he’s angry.

- Speaks multiple Languages
Weaknesses:

History
Finley (who went by Benjamin at the time) grew up in the black market after being sold as a baby for drugs. Yup.
As you can probably imagine, he had a fantastic childhood. At first he was going to be the errand boy of the gang that had bought him, but fortunately the leader ended up as more of a father figure and Finley ended up becoming one of them. So at least he wasn’t completely alone growing up, but he lacked a moral stand point or anyone to really teach him… well, how not to be a stubborn egotistical jerk. Finley went to school like any other kid and did well, but he in his free time he learned things from the people in his gang, including the drug trade, how to handle a gun, speak different languages, deal with tech… and yes, even cooking. He loved learning and spent his free time absorbing all the knowledge he could.
During his early teenage years, he found his way into a circle of friends who he became very close with. What he didn't realize was they were people from a rival gang who were using him because they knew how close he was with his leader. Long story short, people got hurt, someone he thought was his best friend nearly got him kicked out of his gang, and he just barely evaded arrest. The next few years he acted very differently and he was practically alienated from the people he used to call his family. As time went by he committed more crimes, got into more and more trouble and but was finally caught and eventually sent to PHS #552.
