[color=EFE589][b]Magic Class:[/b][/color] Enchantment & Elemental attacks
Specializing in conditional spells and weapon enchantment, as well as strong elemental spells, Finlay has two very different fighting styles supported by different weapons/casting aides.
[b][u]Style 1[/u][/b]
His first style of combat involves using a pair of guns that he hides under his coat, each one sporting conditional enchantments that he sets up beforehand during his off time.
[list][*][url=https://cdn.rockislandauction.com/dev_cdn/79/551.jpg]SMG[/url]
[list][*]The ammo of the SMG is enchanted with [color=105ED8][b]'Frost Touch'[/b][/color], which is set to go off when the bullets are propelled at the speed they'd normally only reach when fired. This spell causes the bullets to freeze whatever they come in contact with, which is used primarily to stall enemies, control their movement, and freeze them in place, but can also be used for other, more practical purposes.
[*]The gun itself also has a spell marked on it that he can activate by channeling mana into it, but is only used in sticky situations when he needs cover fire but has run out of ammo.[/list]
[*][url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/avp/images/6/62/S%26W_Model_66.jpg]Pistol[/url]
[list][*]The ammo of the Pistol is enchanted with [b]'Frag Burst'[/b], which is set to go off when the bullets collide with something at the velocity they'd normally only reach when fired. This spell causes the bullets to fragment on collision, which is primarily used to increase the internal damage they cause to whatever he shoots, but can also be used for external damage by firing at a surface that the fragments can rebound off of, but this tactic is risky so he rarely employs it.[/list][/list]
[b][u]Style 2[/u][/b]
His second style of combat involves using a [url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/amsnorth/images/d/dc/Staff.jpg]Staff[/url] that is normally in plain sight strapped to his back, either to his coat or backpack depending on the situation. The staff sports a variety of water elemental spells carved into it, as well as magic stones worked into the head of the staff in case of mana depletion.

[color=EFE589][b]Personality:[/b][/color] While a little bit self-important, Finlay always values his comrades. He always takes care to address their needs and concerns, and makes a habit of checking in on them. One could say he's rather kind and respectful towards others, but without realizing it Finlay eventually developed a Leader Complex; he always stands up to the leadership role and takes charge of the situation, even if it isn't his place to. Leading had always come naturally to him, so he does it without really thinking about it. While leading, however, he always takes the strengths of his team into account and works to utilize them as best he can, even if he doesn't like the individuals themselves. He's also a dedicated patriot, with much love for his country. This doesn't cause him to dislike those from other countries, unless those individuals show any open disdain for Yoendra.

[color=EFE589][b]Notes:[/b][/color]
[list][*]Typically, Finlay keeps his staff in plain sight while hiding his guns so that anyone looking to attack him is more focused on the staff, leading to him having an element of surprise when he pulls out his guns instead (since they can be drawn more easily and quickly)
[*]He has backup ammo for his guns, of course, but should he run out of ammo entirely or be in a situation where reloading isn't convenient, he'll draw his staff and begin using his more impactful elemental spells
[*]Finlay also has a flying stone, but he doesn't mind walking either
[*]He also memorized the runes to direct cast a simple healing spell in case of emergency
[*]He loves seafood, as he grew up in a port town
[*]Finlay has a deep-seeded distrust of Runecrafters, believing that they are incarnations of Mana's wrath; even worse if they are powerful themselves
[*]Finlay has an above average-sized mana pool[/list]
[color=EFE589][b]History:[/b][/color] Finlay was born and raised in a port town in Northwest Yoendra to well-meaning, upper-middle-class parents. Despite the financial security, Finlay was nonetheless raised to be a hard worker and team player. Even so, there was one thing he grew to disdain; Runecrafters. Being raised in Yoendra, it was only natural that he was taught the story of Mana many times by his parents (albeit through Yoendran lenses), and this caused him to form the popular opinion that Runecrafters were dangerous to the country that he loved so much. The fact that his parents, like many around him, used the threat of "If you don't behave, the ghost of Mana will show up and burn you up" to keep him and his two younger sisters in line only exaggerated the predjudism. While he'll continue treating them respectfully, Finlay refuses to get too friendly with known Runecrafters, and insists on keeping a close watch over them. He never even thought to think twice about the way they taught him about Mana, since everyone else he grew up around was taught about her the same; as a power-hungry monster of a person that led the capital of the country to ruin.

Thanks to good genes, Finlay had a lot of affinity for magic and was able to take the magic affinity test fairly early on as a kid. Naturally, he began practicing magic almost immediately afterwards. As he got older, his drive to become a skilled mage only continued to grow as he wanted to be able to protect his family and country. This naturally led to him applying to attend Isunia, at which he was proud to succeed. 5 years later, upon hearing that the Heartstone of the dreaded Mana had been located, Finlay knew he just had to take part in seeing to the stone's destruction so that no other Runecrafter may use it to further the destruction Mana had brought upon Yoendra.

[color=EFE589][b]Relationships:[/b][/color]
[list][*][b]Parents[/b] (Currently Unnamed)
[list][*]Finlay is very fond of his parents, and is greatly appreciative of how they pushed him to be the best he can be.[/list]
[*][b]Younger Sisters[/b] (Currently Unnamed)
[list][*]He absolutely adores his two little sisters, who also happen to be twins. They mutually love their big brother, and would frequently see him as their protective knight/bodyguard whenever he stood between them and any boys their age that bullied them.[/list][/list]
