POWER DESCRIPTIONS

Animal Shifting - With this power, Finnegan is able to shift into a white leopard with teal eyes. He can do nothing else aside from what regular leopards can do, perhaps except talk but he has not bothered to try, while in this form. He can occasionally achieve a leopard tail and ears as well due to this, but he tends to only get such appearances from getting greatly startled or riled up.

Fear Manipulation - This power can trigger on command and he can 'see' just what fears a person could have by looking at them. When it triggers erratic whispers of fears enter his mind as if the person is whispering them quickly into his ears. After the whispers start, an image of the person who is being read for fears can be seen in a padded room to just himself, either pacing around or sitting on the floor clutching their heads as they rock back and forth. The whispers then grow louder with each fear being spoken, the words scratching themselves against the walls of the enclosed room. However, at a single touch to one of these words on the walls can bring the fear seemingly to life within the padded room and thus to the individual. The fear will look exactly like the individual's worst nightmare brought to life, and Finnegan is able to feel the fear for however long this happens; luckily, though, it only lasts for up to ten seconds with more ease of controlling this power. He can send more fears into the target's mind and watch the fears mold into one, horrific thing that can leave the target insane and unable to pick apart reality from fiction for however long he decides to inflict it upon them, the least amount of time of insanity for the target would be up to six days depending on how bad Finnegan combines fears. Even after it ends, though, there is still some residual fear lingering with Finnegan that will gradually go away in about twenty minutes after it happens. Doing this too much in short spans of time before he can recover could leave some negative damage to his own mind...

(Note: The target can see the fear once it is brought up as if it is actually there in real life whereas no one else can. As for when Finnegan manipulates the fears, only he can see the person in a padded room and the words on the walls. Everything he touches is all mental)

APPEARANCE

Finnegan stands at six feet and weighs approximately 137 lbs. He has pale skin and, to go along with it, white hair with blue eyes. Yes, he's an albino. He is often seen wearing the school's uniform while on campus and a white shirt with dark pants if he is not. Finnegan also can be seen wearing a waiter's uniform due to having a part-time job at a cafe in a good part of town. He has access to a rifle but only for use at the range or traveling out of the town to go hunting when it's prime hunting season. His hair is mostly slicked back in a neat manner, occasionally getting unruly and not wanting to cooperate - not that the boy is bothered by it anyhow.

PERSONALITY

Finnegan is a friendly and charismatic individual. He is easy to get along with and just wants to be liked by his peers. He enjoys joking around with friends and helping out his teachers with the smallest of things, such as running errands for them. Due to having attended a military academy prior to Aurora academy, he is a bit strict on getting his schoolwork done, so this tries to put that above anything else he wants to do - which can sometimes include eating. And since he works part-time at a nice cafe, he can be known to encourage other peers to stop by the cafe for a quick chat to go along with coffee or even a pastry.

Though everyone does have bad days, and when Finnegan isn't his usual self he can be far more quiet than usual. He's a bit more unresponsive and seems more zoned out, making it easy to do poorly in class or for others to just rub him the wrong way. He gets more agitated easily as well, occasionally snapping at others over the smallest thing.

However, once he's cooled his head he instantly regrets snapping at those he seems as friends and goes to apologize the best he can; saying things like he didn't mean to say those words or that he was just having a bad day and to try and forgive him.

BIOGRAPHY

Finnegan O'Connor was born and raised a majority of his life in Bantry, Ireland by his two elder brothers. His parents were removed from his life at about four years old, his eldest brother being eighteen at the time had decided that their living arrangements were not suitable for the young boy and his other brother who was fourteen at the time. Unknown to Finnegan, for his brothers had not talked about their parents to him, his parents were drug addicts and would do anything to get their next high.

Finnegan was the only albino in the family, and so his parents viewed him as a 'valuable' price in order to get plenty of drugs. However, before any of that could happen, and it wasn't like his parents had ever kept such talk a secret, his older brother, Nicolás, had gathered his brothers in the dead of the night after stealing what he could from their parents. With only the clothes on their backs, a stuffed bear for Finnegan, the three brothers had traveled from town to town while their eldest brother sought for work to keep them together.

Skipping forward a few years, Finnegan lived in a small home with his two brothers, his second oldest brother, Cahir, being the one to fight first and question later. Often times, it was Cahir who came to his aid when things seemed to be looking rough for the young boy, Nicolás being the more parental figure gave him the comfort and security he needed. Though love he received from them both. They didn't have much money, but their eldest brother held down two steady jobs and Cahir had managed to get himself a job as well, providing more income to their little family.

When Finnegan turned ten, it was then that the three of them discovered the younger boy could shift into an animal - a leopard at that. At first it was quite difficult to control, so much that Nicolás had pulled him out of school to start homeschooling him despite his other two jobs. His brothers helped him with this newfound power, slowly getting to the point where he could actually manage it to be able to attend school once more, which took a couple of years and also when he received a second power - fear manipulation.

Again, Finnegan had difficulties controlling this power, often times feeling guilty when it affected his own brothers to the point of running away from home a few times. Yet...home was where the heart returned, and thus he always found himself back in the loving embraces of his brothers after about a day when he would run away.

As Finnegan grew older, Cahir and Nicolás taught him a few skills on defending himself. They had even gotten him a rifle for when they would take little vacations to go hunting when it was in season, something that the albino looks forward to every year.

At first, when he was only a first year, he had attended a military academy. Things had seemed fine and were going smoothly as he seemed to have a decent amount of control over his abilities. However, a prank being played on him and a few other classmates by some other boys had taken a wrong turn when the albino got a bit too startled. Now, Finnegan was a very likable person in this school and wasn't easily scared, so these students had done their best to get a scare out of him on a bet that had been made. It was all merely fun and games. Nothing more.

When Finnegan had gotten spooked, his second ability triggered and an unfortunate boy he was looking at by chance was affected the most. He hadn't meant to bump into those words he had seen mentally... But the damage had been done.

The next night the boy had been reported missing and twelve hours later a search party eventually found his cold body out in the forest that stood behind the academy for training exercises for the upperclassmen. Needless to say, Finnegan felt extremely guilty for such a thing and blames himself still for what happened even though he could not prevent it.

A week after the incident, he went back home and requested his brothers pull him out of the school, to which they agreed after some reluctance due to how much money had been put in to the school for him to attend. For a month he helped out with his brothers and even took on small jobs such as being a delivery boy or waiter to earn money alongside with his brothers. Eventually, however, he was sent to Aurora Academy to finish out his school year there, reassured that he would not be alone and that he had free access to contacting his two brothers when he needed them.
