Finn has no idea why Brax is so sweet and dedicated to him.

Youth

Finn always knew he wasn't special. Conscious coming to him for the first time, he was immediately slapped with a pair of boots and sent out to work. They're a lesser Octarian - a tentacle donated by higher ranking members, hand chosen, to create soldiers for the army in one way or another. While he isn't the best, he's a pair of boots on the ground and eyes on the sky and that's all that matters.

He doesn't take it personally or get upset about his role. Though when a young Octoling started to take notice of him, he found himself quite surprised. From the day they met, Finn knew Brax was kind-hearted, but he never realized the lengths this Octo would go to stay at his side. At first it upset him to see his friend holding himself back, but Brax insisted. As much as the thought of Brax climbing the ranks did please him, having his best-friend was wonderful. Was that greedy of him? He could've pushed Brax harder, but in the end, he didn't.

Failure is an Option

Brax and Finn are two peas in a pod - they've grown up together, they know eachother like the back of their tentacles. They are the lowest grunts on the pole and neither would have it any other way. Finn just wants to work and do his best with what he has. Working patrols all day only to return home with Brax, make a meager dinner, and crawl into their bunkbed is perfect for him.

Current Life

Despite the years and the failed attempts at securing the Great Zapfish, despite their soldiers being murdered, experimented on, kidnapped, and disappearing...Finn and Brax can still be found in Octo Valley, working their shifts and eating their lunches in the fake LED lights of their underground home.

• Finn was created by me when I adopted Brax - he was originally going to be a one off, but I grew attached to him.
• Finn can't speak - not in any way an Inkling could understand him. Octarians understand him effortlessly.
• LOVES being assigned to Octo-Resort Spring and is a good swimmer.
• He's really just vibing and doing his best, he's a sweet thing with few thoughts.
• Swears he's seen an Inkling (it was a plastic bag).
