Finn Beckett

Creator: Terian805
Roleplay: Defenders of the Dust City
Nickname: Finn

Name: Finn Beckett

Age: 22

Character Type: Lucid

City of Residence: London

How they enter the Dust City: Finn dreams he is falling and then lands on a woodland path. A dog is there, and says to him "You need to sort things out." He follows it into the mist where the path is spiralling into nothingness. He then sees a woman ahead of him who turns and walks towards him, but should he walk away and throw himself into the mist, he ends up in the Dust City.

Skills: Finn spent his high school years training hard in Physical Activity, and is extremely skilled in boxing, and gymnastics. He also enjoys photography, and he sometimes brings his camera to the Dust City, but can never take the photos back to the real world.

Appearance: He isn't particularly tall, but is muscular and well built, and often wears a dark blue hoodie, jeans, and trainers. He has closely cropped, curly blonde hair, and is handsome in a ratlike, conniving kind of way.

Personality: Finn is hotheaded, optimistic, idealistic, and feels like it is his responsibility to take change upon himself. He often tries to see the best in everything and is very enthusiastic, but there is another side of him. He is very conflicted and tortured on the inside, and takes his duty as a vigilante in the Dust City very seriously. He definitely never flinches from something he feels like he has to do.

History: Finn was raised by Kate, his single mother, (his father having run off when he was very young), along with his older sister Ella, and he had a fairly happy childhood. His older sister was also Lucid, and they spent many nights together roaming through the Dust City.

The family had a close relationship with their neighbours, Nathan and Sarah Gray, and their kids Thomas and Alice. The families often went on holidays together, and the kids were childhood friends.

This was until a train ride back to London when Finn was sixteen. The Grays were Impalpables all the time, and Finn is still trying to figure out why they wanted his sister so badly and not him. The Grays made sure that the train carriage was empty, adisconnected it from the rest of the train, then attacked the Becketts, Nathan going for Ella with his son, in an attempt to drug her, Alice doing the same to Finn, whilst their mother watched, restrained by Sarah.

After a huge fight, Kate was thrown out the back of the train and crippled for life, and Ella was lying drugged whilst Nathan was in a trance, seemingly following her throughout the Dust City. However the train seemed to be about to crash, so Sarah grabbed both her children and husband, and they seemed to teleport away in black smoke.

As the carriage crashed, Finn fell unconscious and woke up in Hospital to find out his sister was apparently dead.

Finn and his Mother, now confined to a wheelchair, went to court and told the story of the Grays but the police couldn't seem to find any record of a family of that name, and after three years, the case collapsed.

Finn did not trust the government, after that incident, with matters to do with the Dust City, so he became a vigilante in and out of his Dreams, attacking Impalpables, and rich tourists in the Dust City, saving Lucids ect. He is known suitably amongst the Impalpables as the 'Wraith' for the mask that he wears.

He and his mother live comfortable lives in London, but he still sees the faces of the Grays in his nightmares.

Other: He has a Jack Russel Terrier called Ro.
