“Hey, man.” Poe sauntered over, his eyebrows raised but a small smile on his face. He was happy to see him, but he didn’t know why. He didn’t know him, yet he felt such a strong emotion when he saw him. “Do I know you or something? You’ve been staring at me for the past few minutes. Not that I mind, but I usually like to know the names of my stalkers.” The smile turned into a smirk now.

  oh, kriff. clearly finn hadn’t been doing too well at being inconspicuous if it was obvious that he was staring. it wasn’t like he could really help it, at least not when it was painstakingly obvious that poe didn’t remember him. had absolutely no recollection of anything in their lives. this place, whatever it really was, clearly did something to people. “uh -- sorry,” he responds sheepishly. “i just... finn. my name’s finn. hi.”
From beyond the shroud, FINN of STAR WARS has arrived in Ithaca. Has anyone ever told you that you look quite a bit like JOHN BOYEGA except with a A BORROWED  JACKET, HEART OF GOLD, COURAGE TO FIGHT  AGAINST OPPRESSION vibe ? According to our records, you are 24 and identify as MALE with HE/HIM used to address you. You’ll find you’ve already been given a place to stay, so long as you’re working hard as a PERSONAL TRAINER. And, what’s that, you DO remember DEFEATING THE FINAL ORDER?Â
he’s a big deal
but really i think most people know his backstory if they’ve watched the new trilogy
basically finn was taken from his family who he never knew by the first order. they brainwashed him, turned him into a storm trooper and sent him off to fight
his first battle, however, didn’t turn out very well. he refused to participate in any of it
flash forward to afterwards where poe has been captured and finn decides to srping him free so poe can pilot them away. though they succeed, they end up crashing on jakku and finn assumes poe is dead, as the jacket is the only thing he can find from the other
going further into jakku, this is where finn eventually meets rey when bb-8 recognizes that it’s poe’s jacket finn is wearing. though things start off kinda poorly, he and rey flee the first order together and take the millennium falcon to escape.
the two of them later meet han and chewie, have a bit of an adventure with rathtars and all that fun stuff. but the both of them with han and chewie end up going to maz’s place to bring bb-8 back to the resistance. finn chooses to leave because he’s afraid to go against the first order but chooses to stand and fight instead.
sees rey get captured and loses his shit and sets to getting them back with the help of the resistance
han, chewie, and finn wind up at the first order base to shut off starkiller and rescue rey. they all succeed, but kylo ends up killing han and then it results in a battle between rey, finn, and kylo
finn manages to hold his own until kylo slices up his back and then he’s out cold. my poor angel
fast forward to the last jedi: finn eventually wakes up after healing from his injuries though he has a nasty scar from kylo’s lightsaber after their battle
wants to leave and go find rey, but is stopped by rose. the two of them are sent on their own adventure to find someone to help them but it’s honestly a whole mess and they end up betrayed and captured by the first order
shit happens, the ship is getting destroyed and finn !!! kicks !! phasma’s !!! ass !!! my boiiii
after all of this, the resistance is on crait where the first order has cornered them. they choose to fight, and finn goes to sacrfice himself to destroy the cannon but rose saves him just in time
after the battle, they find help to get out of the cave and everyone is reunited and finn is honestly just happy to know all of his friends are safe right now
his fake life wasn’t too similar but he never knew his parents. he was in the foster care system for his whole life until 18. decided to become a trainer because he liked helping people
Great speech, Finn said, bounding up the steps, a glass in each hand. He handed Poe a drink, something dark and unpleasantly thick. You’re getting pretty good at those. Thanks. Poe took a tentative sip. Awful. He set the mug down. So when do we leave? Finn asked, eyes big over the edge of his glass as he drank. Poe cocked an eyebrow. You coming with? I don’t think you can stop me.
You heard that Leia wants me to go get that political prisoners list? The auction in Coronet City, Finn confirmed. Going undercover to sneak into some mysterious thief’s private party. Poe grinned. That’s right. I have room for one more on the invitation. Finn tilted his head. Oh yeah? I want that to be you.
I think he’s just an active member of the Resistance now. [In] episode Eight, he couldn’t decide what team he was fighting for. But since then he’s made a clear decision. - John Boyega in Vanity Fair for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Then the diminutive smuggler looked up at him and smiled in satisfaction.Â
“Oh wow …I see something else now.”
“See what?” Finn asked.
“I see the eyes of a warrior.”Â
( a borrowed jacket, heart of gold, courage to fight against oppression ) –– && it looks like finn has finally arrived in woodshore ( though he originates from star wars ). although known as a rebel back home, here they are a twenty-three year old trainer, known to be PROTECTIVE, but OVEREMOTIONAL. they were coaxed here with the promise of finding his friends. they remember everything. – john boyega.
from what point in your characters canon are they taken from?
finn is taking from the end of the last jedi. he has all of his memories and has fully accepted being a part of the resistance. he’s grown into himself and is no longer afraid to go against the first order.Â
gender/pronouns
he identifies as male with he/him pronouns
anything else you’d like to add!
