does your character have a secret? do they keep it well hidden or do they reveal it on occasion? to whom? for a while he kept the "profession" he was in from chris but then it all came out and he doesn't really keep secrets anymore because he isn't really good about hiding them.

describe their personality. he is an extremely sweet person despite the hell he has been through and his sweetness is paired with a delicate confidence and self security that is bound to break at the smallest things because he is still learning proper coping mechanisms and how to really function without drugs because it's hard. but he still has this rather sunny disposition that probably shocked people who met him during his drug addict phase and only saw who the drugs made him.
introvert or extrovert? both, it all depends on how he feels.
social or a bit socially awkward? how do they feel in social situations? same as the last question, it all depends on the day and how he is feeling.
how do they react to medical treatments/doctors? oof, finn hates doctors and he is terrified of getting shots. in fact, needles and shots are one of his triggers for his panic attacks because he still vividly remembers when the pimp forcefully shot him up with heroin while two people held him down to make him more compliant to a client's requests. he also hates iv's and they elicit the same response out of him.
fears? oh boy, where to start? there are so many that it'll just be a list without explanations. he is terrified of needles, strangers, overly crowded places, losing chris, becoming too much for chris to handle, loud banging, being given up on, and not being loved. there are others but i will add those later.
anxiety, paranoia, or any mental health issues? he suffers from anxiety and paranoia as well as post traumatic stress disorder and depression. all of these are a direct result of the lifestyle he used to participate in and the withdrawal.
what does your character dream of at night? if they have nightmares, what are they about? finn is constantly plagued with extremely vivid nightmares of a singular client who abused him the most and was a frequent client. most of the scars that aren't from his drug addition are from this client. he wakes up screaming and pushing chris away because he thinks chris is that guy and he has a crawling sensation all over his skin and he is sobbing and he can still feel the pain.
has your character ever been depressed? why? oh yes, finn has been depressed for a long time and constantly battles with it due to his traumatic past as well as when he was going through withdrawal because he'd have days where he would completely shut down and lay in bed staring blankly at the wall or be curled up in the corner of the bedroom in tears because everything just felt like it hurt and he felt like he wasn't ever going to get better and he wanted to give up every single time he hit those lows and just he still struggles but continues to fight.
give a backstory. why does your character act the way they do? does this backstory affect that? finn is the child of parents who divorced when he was young and was a prostitute, escort, and stripper for three years after being forced into it. he used heroin throughout it. this has affected his relationships and the way he acts around strangers. it also caused him to develop post traumatic stress disorder, sever anxiety, and a panic disorder as well as underlying depression.
how does your character react to loss? have they ever lost anyone close? he has never lost someone close to him but he would react with uncertainty and would not process that it happened and be in denial for a while.
what are some flaws/weaknesses your character has? he tends to bottle everything up, he digs his nails into his palms to the point where it draws blood because of panic attacks, and a very fragile confidence.
what are some good qualities about your character? he is a very genuine person especially since he got clean and he tries his very best to be a better person and to make his friends and chris proud of him. he is loving and very affectionate.
what are some of your character’s greatest achievements? his greatest achievement is beating his drug addiction and is probably his only real achievement.
what makes your character smile? laugh? seeing chris smile makes finn smile so wide. also playing piano and hearing chris sing.
what makes your character sad? cry? what makes him sad and what makes him cry are basically the same things. his father, the thought of losing chris, the paranoia that chris secretly hates him, and the thought of losing petunia.
does your character have any disabilities/obstacles? does your character overcome them? how? for about three years, he was addicted to heroin brought on by being forced to shoot heroin by the pimp. after a couple relapses, he was able to get through it. the withdrawal was hard but he had chris and ollie and diane and it really helped having his support system to get through it in the end.
is there someone they are likely to die for? who? chris and kalilah.
do they believe in the paranormal? life after death? he does not believe in anything paranormal but he'd like to believe there is life after death.
if your character went through something that had left them completely disabled, how would they react? in all honestly, he would shut down completely and push every single person in his life away because he'd feel absolutely useless.
what makes your character angry/upset? where do they go when they are angry? who do they confide in? the main thing that upsets finn is when people judge him because of his past and make comments about it and he normally will just sit on the couch completely silent, probably close to tears. the person he confides in is chris because chris has been through it all with finn and has seen him at his lowest of lows. he's seen him angry and when he's on the verge of suicide. chris is the one person he tells everything to.
how does your character feel about violence? finn doesn't really like violence because he's experienced so much of it from the lifestyle he used to lead as well as with his father so he prefers to stay away from it if at all possible.
