Story Summary:
Finross was the first born son of Moss, the leader of the Pearl clan. When he was a toddler, his parents split up bitterly and his mother raised him for most of his life. All his life Finross asked his mother why the Pearl Clan had to live in the dry landed Deep Sea Cavern. His mom would often tearfully tell him stories of a time their clan did live underwater along with all marineman. However, 100 years ago, after a great war between the great clans, a massive army of merfolk overthrew the clans and took over the entire Questaric Sea. The army then became the Lapis Kingdom, which cruelly tyrannized the marineman.
Finross's mom explained some of the clans convinced the merfolk to help fight in the war. The Pearl clan warned them not to, but their warnings were ignored. Since then, they lived in isolation in the furthest corner of the Deep Blue.
Finross, curious to find out more about the story, learned from his father that the Pearl Clan turned their backs on the other clans while they fought to prevent the Lapis Kingdom from taking over. This infuriated Finross.
When Finross was a teenager, his mother died and he was forced to live with his father. For years he was neglected by his careless father. However, he got along with his stepsister, Jewela, and he grew to be very protective of her. As time went on, he developed a desire to see the lives of the people of the Questaric. His close friends, Minolly and Wavoro, supported his desires and one day they all decided to venture out into the Questaric Sea, away from their isolation. What they saw changed their lives forever.
When they swam out to sea, they witnessed Lapis Kingdom soldiers collecting taxes from marineman in a small village. A young woman was unable to pay, and was callously attacked and shackled, sentenced to prison for not paying tribute to their 'natural superiors.' The rest of the journey got even worse as the group witnessed marineman being mistreated and abused by the merfolk.
Ever since that day, Finross had made it his life goal to form an army strong enough to conquer the Lapis Kingdom and reclaim freedom for the marineman of the Questaric Sea. With his friends and gained allies behind him, he swore to save the marineman race from the Lapis Kingdom's tyranny.
Powers and Abilities:
Finross wields the element of blood. He uses it differently than most, however. He pierces his own skin with his claws to bleed and form sharp and blunt projectiles by solidifying his own blood. Attacking with your own blood is not something blood elementals normally do. Usually they attack by manipulating their opponent's blood. Finross prefers not to use his blood element this way because he considers it disturbing and cruel. If he's in a desperate situation, though, he will sometimes take drastic measures and do it.
Finross's melee skills are more powerful than average. Like most of his friends, he relies more on precision than power, attacking his foe's weak spots for the most effective attacks. His claws are very strong and can easily slice through strong fish scales.
Personality:
Finross is an extremely inspiring, determined, and strong willed individual. He takes his goals and actions seriously and always pushes himself and others to become stronger. He succeeds in his role as the leader of the Redeemers magnificently, inspiring others with powerful speeches and displaying extraordinary power, skill, and smarts. Many members of the Redeemers admire him for his leadership.
Finross is very serious on important missions and events. Though he doesn't mind his friends being casual, he himself is always focused and hard working. Still, he knows when to take it easy and never overwhelms his friends and allies.
Finross is extremely protective of those precious to him. Whenever a friend or ally is in trouble, he's always the first to jump in and help them. He is not very good at emotional support, however. Being gentle is not easy for him and he often must make a real effort to do it.
Extra Facts:
Finross loves making custom drinks, but is very poor at it. His desire to experiment with ingredients often leads to disgusting tastes.
Finross is commonly recognized and remembered by his body's prominent green color. This is why his star name is The Green Soldier. It helps people know him by appearance.
Finross never laughs.
