Profile


Personality: A narcoleptic weakling. He is severely lethargic and always on the verge of falling asleep (or already asleep). Despite all the time he spends asleep, he cannot stop feeling tired. His body is naturally unable to produce enough energy for regular activities. His lethargy is strong enough to have an effect on his surroundings, making people extremely tired around him. He gives off an apathetic impression, which leads people to avoid him. Some find him a menace. He despises how weak his body is and wants to be able to interact with the people he loves. However, he can never talk with anyone for long because even his voice puts people to sleep.

Backstory: Finnian grew up on the streets. His memories of his earliest years alive are a blur. The only thing he can vaguely remember are soft glows of light, and several muffled voices. His body was weak and he never moved from his usual spot. He hardly moved, period. Finn was kept alive by other homeless people on his street when he was younger, but even they kept their distance from him. He did not know why but neither did he question it. They regularly left him some water and food scraps, taking the money that passers-by left for him in return. He didn't understand why they took the special paper and tiny round metals, until one instance when one of the homeless came to him but saw none to take. He was not given anything that night. He learnt that this was an exchange system. Since then, he would be sure to keep and hide some of the money he was given. In times that he was not pittied upon by strangers, he would use the hidden money to "buy" his nourishments.

One day, they came to take his money but left nothing for him. He was puzzled. He went for 3 days without food or water until they came again. The same thing as before happened. They returned the day right after. But this time, Finn placed his hand over the money. He did not know how to speak, so he could only stare them in the eye. They attempted to remove his hand, but he balled up his palm into a fist, taking the money into his hand. He tried to speak, letting out a guttural groan. The only response he got was a strike to the face. The blow knocked him over and the money that he hid spilled out from under his clothing. Finnian heard loud voices and then felt a pain in his stomach. They were kicking him against the cold wall and stomping his body into the pavement. Finnian could not do anything but squeeze his eyes shut and endure the barrage. He could not even curl up and defend himself, even though he wanted to. He was far too weak, and starving to boot. However, not even half a minute later, the attacks began to weaken and the attackers were growing silent. He heard them fall around him with a thud. Though his body was aching sorely, Finnian opened his eyes and propped himself up against the wall, peering around him. His assailants were collapsed around him, unconcious. There seemed to have been no intervention as the closest outsider was standing several feet away, simply watching from afar, along with a number of other strangers. Finnian noticed that several of them were holding out some sort of small box in his direction. Others had a box pressed up to the side of their head. Finnian simply had no idea what to do but sit there and stare at everyone looking at him.

 


Things that need to be added:
>police come for him (people called them)
>he lives at the police station for a few days
>Saintan rep comes and takes custody of him
>They tried to drive him in just one car, but the driver got sleepy. They had to use a limo for him lmao. Or some other 2 compartment vehicle. (Trivia)
>They try to speak to him but he can't understand, so they teach him as well.
>He's put through physical tests at the same time. Determine his age (a few years before meeting Tris!) Determine his name on first test.
>They figure out his ability's effect but can't find a way to control it themselves
>They give him the job of putting insomniacs to sleep
>>Figure out why they brought him to find Tris??

Trivia
He experimented with the amount of money he left out but it hardly made a difference. As long as he had at least a note or a few coins, he would be given food. Adding more never gave him more, but having less gave him nothing.
Hoarder (need to keep one of everything)
The only times he moved was to use the lavatories in a nearby restaurant.

Discarded Ideas:
Homeless people selling him away to the Saintans for money.
