[quote=@Luminosity] The similarities are a bit numerous, yeah, though the warrior/rogue split between them drives them different ways. I don't blame you for not reading all the sheets beforehand, there's so many of them, haha. I still haven't given them all good reads. I'm not bothered, though, no. I happen to know that Fiona interacting with thiefy types is pretty fun :) [/quote] I think it would be interesting to see how their relationship would develop. They have very different upbringings, and they both have dealt with their hardships in different ways. While Fiona might chastise Finch's way of life, so they would butt heads often, but she might also have sympathy with him and bond over their mutual losses to the Dominion. [quote=@Lo Pellegrino][@Spoopy Scary] I am [i]loving[/i] Finch. The total lack of combat prowess is going to be very interesting to see in action. May I ask what steered you away from hand-to-hand as a means for self-defense? I don't ask as a critique, actually, I debated on going with a follower of Mara who preferred other means than killing. No matter the reason, I do find Finch an interesting sort and hope to see more![/quote] Thank you so much! I was debating whether or not he would have anything to defend himself with in the first place, like maybe have Speech as one of his somewhat proficient skills, but decided that his charisma as a beggar wouldn't be so great, and his pessimism might keep him from being a strong orator. It also wouldn't be beyond him to slip a small crossbow so that, when he could, down a couple of wild animals should he have to eat. But back to the original point, no, he's not a fighter. Hand to hand can come in two forms, strength to overpower, which Finch doesn't have the build for, or dexterity, which would require some form of specialized martial training which Finch wouldn't have had access to. Even if he had, it's more ingrained in his personality to avoid fights, having been a kid sheltered in the Imperial City and being rather shy and soft-spoken back then. Even after, as a defenseless street urchin, the key to surviving is pretty much avoiding trouble.
