Finn Deimne (フィン・ディムナ) is the captain of the Loki Familia. He is the reincarnation of Dim.
Appearance[]
Finn has medium length scruffy blonde hair and blue eyes with a fair skin tone. He has a small body, but is still strong. Finn has the appearance of a child despite being over 40 years old. He wears a yellow vest over a purple long-sleeved shirt and trousers.
Personality[]
Finn has a sharp mind, being able to memorize complex things, judge correctly, and take action without hesitation. Although he usually chooses to always take the safest option, he doesn't doubt to launch into combat and take risks if necessary, showing a confident character of himself as well as of his allies.
He cares for the members of his Familia and has great appreciation and affection for them, keeping track of each one's progress and expressing deep sadness for the loss of those who died. Likewise, he seeks to care for and protect the lower-ranking members while helping them become stronger.
He tends to approach people in general in a very respectful and diplomatic way, whether in a casual interaction or if they are in a business or strategic meeting, and sometimes he treats them in a more friendly and casual way if they are old acquaintances.
In addition to that, he is helpful and willing to lend a hand to others if they need help, which he demonstrated by saving, healing, and having Bell's group as guests at his camp after their arrival to the 18th Floor.
Even so, he has a more aggressive and hostile side, which he shows when his loved ones are attacked or in the presence of a serious threat.
Finn has also shown a firm confidence in the skill of fellow first-class adventurers from both his own Familia and other Familias, some of the greatest examples being Bete's when he went after Valletta and Allen's and Ottar's in the final battle in Knossos, in addition to recognizing others when they perform amazing feats, exhibit great skills or perform displays of great courage, as was the case with Bell in his fight against the Minotaur of the 9th Floor.
As the leader of his faction, he stands firm and never hesitates to take command of a battle or participate in one himself. Living up to his alias, he is a brave and steel-minded person who does not give up or succumb to adversity no matter how desperate the situation may be.
Finn is also very eloquent and quite skilled with words, which combined with his cunning mind makes him a magnificent speaker capable of restoring the morale of others with his speeches either through motivational phrases or sarcastic taunts and mocks. Due to this and his character he serves as a pillar of support as well as a source of inspiration and courage for his Familia and his allies, motivating them to keep fighting and not give up even if they had lost hope only moments before.
Although he always seeks the best result, he doesn't fool himself and recognizes when a cause is lost or a sacrifice must be made for the greater good, as he demonstrated in the war against Evilus by going after the tops of the organization and desisted from going to the 27th Floor to save those who were there despite having deduced what was going to happen. Likewise, despite his friendly and charitable attitude, he refuses to participate in conflicts of other Familia to avoid problems for his own.
He is a determined and persevering person as he has not wavered or doubted his goal of becoming the light of the Pallum throughout his career as an adventurer, nor has he ever ceased to look for ways to increase his already monumental and renowned reputation, showing an enormous ambition of fame in order to fulfill his purpose. This could well be said to be his most important trait, since it is because of this ambition of his that he has progressed and endured so much at the same time that he accumulated such fame and reputation as he has today.
Aware that this is a vital piece of his goal, he concentrated on preserving the image that he had painstakingly managed to create. Even when he learned that the Xenos were beings similar in mind and soul to people, he remained determined to kill them and preferred to hide the secret from his Familia because he did not want to help them or ally with them because of the rejection that exists towards monsters and how that would affect him.
During this incident, reflecting on his actions, he came to the conclusion that he was an "artificial hero", since he had gained his status solely on the basis of targeted movements and was only acting in order to improve his position rather than to truly do a heroic act. In turn, this caused him to develop a respect for Bell for being a "true hero" by acting based on what he genuinely thought was the right thing to do no matter how it would affect him. Despite this, unwilling to throw away his goal and his efforts until then, he remained determined to carry out the extermination of the intelligent monsters.
However, after witnessing Bell's acts to save the Xenos and his battle with Asterius he changed his resolve, aiming to surpass Fianna instead of becoming her. With his new perspective, he ended his battle with the Xenos and chose to cooperate with them. His approach to confrontations also changed, as he devised a plan to get everyone out alive in the first attack on Knossos rather than choosing to sacrifice a few to retain Revis.
As part of his efforts to restore his race, he wishes to have a Pallum descendant who inherits his purpose and will, so he seeks a Pallum wife who represents the same values of bravery as he does to give him a child. Likewise, due to his goal, he rejoices at the idea that other Pallums also succeed and rise among the ranks of the adventurers, being happy for Lili's level up and secretly giving a special material for the manufacture of her new crossbow.
History[]
Finn was born in a village located in a mountainous area and had bad memories of his life ever since he was born. The Pallum race believed in the Goddess Fianna, who was actually a group of knights who had been deified. When they realized that Fianna did not exist, the Pallum race fell into decline, losing any motivation and subduing themselves to other races.
Due to this he hated his parents and other Pallums as he wondered why they didn't try to use their intellect rather than submit to people who were stronger than them. Unlike them, he began to gather knowledge, secretly reading books at the village chief's house, and when he was caught, he was described to be like a sage. When he was ten years old, monsters attacked his village in the middle of the night, causing him to try to help the village, though he would have died if his parents hadn't protected him with their lives.
Despite this, the other Pallum abandoned them, making him see despair through them. Nevertheless, he also saw courage through his parent's actions. After the other villagers arrived to get rid of the monsters, he ran off to cry, coming back the next morning to bury his parents himself. By that time, he had a firm resolve to become the Pallum's light and renamed himself Finn, his thumb beginning to tingle in the process.
After joining Loki's Familia, and recruiting Riveria and Gareth, they traveled around the world for a few years. He ranked up along them after four years of starting their journey. Some time later, he and the rest were taken care of by Njord before they entered Orario. He came to the city to bring hope and pride to the Pallums currently in the world and those who would be born in the future by becoming one of Orario's strongest adventurers. Thanks to his combat ability, he grew remarkably as an adventurer under his mentors' tutelage, ranking up several times at an accelerated rate.
Fifteen years ago he served as a supporter for the Zeus and Hera Familias in the battle against the Behemoth and witnessed the subjugation of the legendary beast. He reached Level 6 seven years ago after defeating Valletta and the remaining forces of the Apate and Alecto Familias during the Great Feud.
Abilities[]
While still Level 6s, Finn, along with Riveria and Gareth, was called the strongest fighting force of the Loki Familia. Seven years ago, after seeing his heightened combat prowess due to Hell Finegas, Valleta stated he was the strongest in Orario alongside Ottar. Following the announcement of the three top executives' ranks up to Level 7, Loki considered that even Ottar wasn't a big deal anymore.
Immense Physical Prowess: As a Level 7, Finn's physical abilities are all immeasurably superior compared to those of a normal person. In terms of raw physical prowess, his abilities are also far superior to those of any Level 6 or below.
Immense Strength: Finn possesses formidable strength. As a Level 6, using all of his strength he could send Revis flying a considerable distance and roll another ten to twenty meters after crashing on the ground, as well as leaving her cheek swollen and bleeding, with a single punch during their confrontation in Rivira. After reaching Level 7, his strength greatly increased.
Immense Speed, Agility, and Reflexes: Finn possesses amazing speed. As a Level 6, he could keep up with the high Level 6s Riveria's and Gareth's own speed. He was also the only one of his entire unit, aside from Shakti, able to follow Allen's movements, who moved so fast that to everyone else he seemed to be teleporting. After reaching Level 7, his speed, agility, and reflexes greatly increased.
Immense Endurance: Finn possesses considerable pain tolerance, showing no reaction when he broke his finger punching Revis on Rivira. In Knossos he was able to survive for several hours after receiving a severe cut despite the fact that the wound was incurable due to being inflicted with a cursed sword, though it was also partly due to his subordinates helping him deal with the profuse bleeding.
Skilled Fighter: Before obtaining his falna, Finn trained for four years under a trainee monk in a remote location deep in the mountains, becoming adept at meele combat. His strategy is completely different from Ais' straightforward combat style. He often takes advantage of his small frame, which allows him to move through tight spaces, along with his great dexterity and agility to deftly evade his opponents' attacks and attacks them precisely from every angle as he looks for an opening or blind spot after each strike, which he uses to determine whether to give distance or when to charge forward, allowing him to constantly move to more and more advantageous positions.
He makes full use of his spear incorporating upward thrusts and sweeping moves to throw his opponents off balance. In his duel with Revis he was also capable of using it as a leverage to move in mid-air. While he fights mainly with a single spear he has demonstrated great skill at dual wielding too. Aside from his ability with spears, he has also shown himself to be an expert at swordsmanship, employing Desperate efficiently. Likewise, he was shown to be dexterous with knives in his battle with Revis. His fighting style was described as beautiful by Loki and even Ais is often amazed at his fighting prowess. Having not only more combat experience than Ais, his knowledge of techniques and strategy make him much more powerful than his status alone indicates.
In addition to that, he is very skilled in teamwork with the other members of his Familia, specially Riveria and Gareth. Having fought together longer than any other team, the three exhibit superb teamwork and perfect coordination. Even though they were still Level 6s and their opponent was Level 7 in terms of power, they were able to overwhelm Revis with a torrent of continuous attacks from three different directions; Finn worked with Riveria to nip her counterattacks while Gareth made up for their lack of power with his top-tier strength.
Genius Level Intellect: Finn has an impressive intellect which gives him mental qualities well above those of the average person. Having cultivated his mind since he was young, he demonstrated a capacity that earned him recognition as a sage at an early age. He is quite intelligent and boasts great deduction skills, being able to completely decipher his opponents' strategies using only assumptions based on limited information.
- Master Strategist and Commander: Finn is recognized as Orario's best strategist, acting as the general commander every time an alliance between multiple familias is made. His amazing mental dexterity allows him to deal with multiple problems simultaneously as he analyzes the details of each situation to determine the most effective course of action possible for each.
- His mastery in the area allows him to not only plan ahead but also use his abilities to command large and even multiple battalions in multiple battlefields at the same time. He possess a great adaptative as well as quick decision making ability, being able to modify and adapt his strategies in the face of sudden changes in the battlefield or new pieces of information. He has been shown to outthink even other good strategists, such as Valletta, Thanatos, and Fels.
- Great Memory: Finn has a very good memory. He can memorize large amounts of complex information, which gives him an advantage in battle and on his expeditions to the dungeon. An example of this is how he can safely and effectively navigate the Deep Floors of the dungeon without the need for a map due to having memorized their entire structure.
Great Leader: Finn is a great leader whose leadership skills are not limited to his ability to lead others in combat but instead combine with his impressive eloquence and image to create a figure who inspires confidence and courage in his allies. Whether through grand speeches or just his image, Finn's charisma allows him to restore resolve and motivate his teammates to keep fighting and face even the most formidable enemies and dire situations, guiding them unwaveringly until they finally reach victory.
Intuition: Finn has a pretty good intuition which manifests as his thumb throbbing. It warns him about imminent threats, with the pain increasing in proportion to the level of the threat, allowing him to prepare countermeasures against them. Although most of the time it just warns him about threats, it also helps him for other things, such as when it helped him decide which Familia to join. According to Loki, his intuition surpasses even the Gods.
Enhanced Senses: As a Pallum, Finn naturally had a great eyesight that allowed him to see in the dark. After receiving his falna, all of his senses sharpened significantly, becoming better than those of a normal person, with his eyesight still being better than the rest. His senses further improved with each subsequent rank up. In the battle with the Viola Demi Spirit he could move as if he had eyes on his back to dodge Riveria's barrage of arrows.
Magic[]
Hell Finegas (ヘル・フィネガス): Hell Finegas massively strengthens all of Finn's abilities at the cost of proper judgment due to a heavy increase in the desire to battle. As a high Level 5, the magic boost was powerful enough to grant him the power of a Level 6. However, even when consumed by rage Finn remains partly conscious. Though barely, he retains enough clarity of mind to see through his enemies' plans and cleverly make use of techniques and tactics. He first learned of this in the final battle of the Great Feud seven years ago.
Tir na Nog (ティル・ナ・ノーグ): Tir na Nog is a throwing magic. It adds Finn's levels and all ability totals to his magic power during use. It can only be used once every 24 hours.
