The main protagonist for City of Rust.

1) Basic info:

2) Appearance:
 * Name: Fintan Farran (Fintan is Irish for "White flame/bull". Farran is derived from an Old French word, ferrant, meaning "iron grey".
 * Team/occupation: Solider (formerly), political prisoner
 * Species: Human
 * Age: May have been in his early 20's or 30's during the events of City of Rust. May have been at least 50-years-old when he died.
 * Sex: Male
 * Handedness: Male
 * Aura/Effects: Unknown (though it is known that he unlocked his Aura at some point before he crashed onto the island.)
 * Symbol: N/A, may have worn the symbol of the faction he fought for during The War
 * Physical traits: None known as of yet.
 * Misc traits: None to list
 * Nickname(s): N/A

3) Characteristics:
 * Height: Possibly 5'10"?
 * Weight: 140 lbs?
 * Eyes: Orange-red
 * Face:
 * Hair: Grey (may have turned to white before his death)
 * Physique: Average. Nowhere near a walking tank, yet he's fit enough to handle himself.
 * Combat Outfit: During The War, his armor was gunmetal-grey, with hints of silver. He also bore a helmet that covered most of his face.
 * Casual Outfit: During his time at the asylum, he may have worn a prisoner's outfit and/or a straitjacket.


 * Background: Not much is known about him, save for that he originated from a poor family. He was drafted into The War to fight for his country (or so he and his brothers-in-arms have been told). When he returned, he was declared a madman, and was thrown into an asylum for treatment. But that's only what the public are told. In reality, he had discovered ancient ruins to... something, and the government of his Kingdom want to know what he saw. They pretty much think he's discovered a treasure trove of wealth or knowledge. They're flat-out wrong. What he saw there was the stuff of nightmares. At some point after The War, he passed away in his cell. Many reports claim that he had a heart attack, but few actually believe it. This story will uncover what he saw, what haunted him to his dying days...
 * Personality: He's not fond of the government that ran his home during The War. If anything, he despised them. He resented them for separating him from his family (a wife and daughter). This hatred of the tyrants grew as the conflict went on, sometimes daydreaming their demise. After the old governments fell, he was declared insane. He warned them constantly against locating the island, telling them that some things are better off buried.

4) Combat info:
 * Likes: Rumor has it that he had an eye (and ear) for the arts. Of course, the tyrants of that era would say that such things were dangerous, that they were abominations. He was also a bit of a family man.
 * Dislikes: The government of his era. Considering how they basically banned all forms of art (and likely replaced with mindless propaganda) and speech, he obviously didn't see them eye-to-eye. He came to hate politicians even more after his imprisonment.

5) Trivia:
 * Position/Class: Soldier
 * Landing strategy: Likely none, assuming that soldiers were ever launched into battle
 * Weapon: Standard pistol and sword
 * Semblance: Unknown. None as of yet
 * Fighting style: While he had some skill in swordsmanship and firearms, he hardly the best there was.


 * Relationships: As said, he's  bit of a "family man", so he was close to his wife and child. He wasn't a real fan of the old governments, and certainly not the current ones that replaced them. He man quite a few friends within the army, many of them having similar feelings about the conflict.
 * Notes: I have thought about making him an ancestor of "The Tinkerer", but I'm not sure if I'll go with the idea in the end.
 * Tropes: None that I can think of. :/
