History in a nutshell:
David Finn was born and raised in a small town in New Brunswick, Canada, to no-one particularly special, and lived an astoundingly normal life despite the discovery of his quills, which he managed to keep well-concealed from his family and friends. When I say he had a 'normal life', I mean he had a 'normal life'. He did all the things kids did, like play in the mud as a child and have one or two run-ins with the local authorities as a teenager. He experimented with drugs and sex, though never got into any serious trouble with either. Since he could never figure out what he wanted to do with his life, he remained in school a year longer than he should have, and is just now starting his first year at Columbia. Some people are just slower to start than others.
Height: 5'9" Weight: Heavier than he looks.
Eyes: Green Hair: Black
Unusual physical characteristics: Large patches of
dark scar tissue over his arms, legs, and back. Closer
inspection would reveal a large number of half-inch wide holes that
have been healed over. X-rays would show some pretty hefty internal
re-organization, assuming David ever let a doctor get close enough
to take pictures.
Strength level: Average strength level for a
man of his height and build who engages in moderate daily
exercise.
Known superhuman powers: Lots of pointy things come out
of his skin. David has quills similar to those of a porcupine, though
considerably stronger, and with the ability to extend and retract at
will. He's also got selective regeneration, allowing the holes
his quills come out of to close up rather quickly.
Other abilities: David's a Jack-of-all-trades, master of
none. He can do a bit of everything, within reason, but he has no
particular area of expertise.
Weapons and paraphernalia: David doesn't need weapons, both
for the obvious reasons of having pointy things that come out of his
skin, and the fact that he really doesn't think he needs them. He
carries his wallet, with some cash and a few cards, a drivers license,
and a metal file.
Other notes: David is a grade A jerk. Chances are pretty
good that he doesn't like you already. He also attends Columbia,
so if you've got something you wouldn't object to his involvement in
around there, ask.
