Finn

"'It's gotta be my fighting spirit'"

Character information
Finnegan Wake was born out of wedlock to his mother, and his father, Jonah Wake. Jonah Wake was a Star Runner, and left soon after Jonah's birth, promising he would return and marry Finn's mother. He did return five years later and began living with them. Jonah was harshly critical of his son and a young Finn would lack confidence in himself as a result but his mother reassured him, and instilled in him an intense determination. After three years of living with them and continually postponing his marriage to Finn's mother, Jonah suddenly packed one night and left. His only explanation was that he had received a communication and needed to go on a mission. He told them that he would most likely not return, and they should act that way.

They went on for a few years before running into financial troubles prompting Finn to get a job as an apprentice electrician on his home world's orbital station. There, he displayed an impressive gift for using Mobile Suits and caught the eye of a Freeball manager. He had Finn try out for the minor leagues after a few weeks of training, and Finn managed to make it in by the skin of his teeth and became the Madonna Howletts new Forward player. He threw himself into his new job with gusto and quickly improved, becoming a fan favorite thanks to his dramatic plays, and unorthodox tactics.

Years passed, and by the time Finn was 17 his manager, the same man who had discovered him, had married his mother and he and Finn had become close friends. Finn was also set to finish his career in the minor leagues and begin training for pro league try outs. An injury during the final game of the season put him in the emergency room for several days however, and during his stay he recieved a most fateful visit.

A medbot introducing herself as Opparetta quickly told Finn that she was in fact a sentient AI, illegal in the Federation and that she had 60 Meg for him and a message from his father.

“If you want to know the truth, then come find me.” That was all his father said before he ended the transmission.

Confused an uncertain of what to do next, Finn had himself dismissed and went with Opparetta back to his home, which he found entirely stripped bare, aside from a few shell casings. After some investigation Finn soon learned that his mother had been abducted by a Bounty Hunter named Seagraves Blackfin, who had killed Finn's stepfather and spirited his mother away to the planet Garlax, to face charges of corporate espionage and harboring a fugitive.

Incensed, Finn quickly leveraged his newfound wealth to aseemble a crew and set out to recover his mother, find his father, and uncover the mystery which tied all this misfortune together.
