Owen Martin Finn
Alias: N/A
Age: Twenty-nine
Gender: Male
Family: Innocenzo
Mafia Rank: Foot Solider
Sexuality: Bisexual
Psychological overview:
Owen is a nice person when he's around you. He tends to talk behind people's backs and do things that will harm them while they aren't around, mostly because a sense of hospitality that was instilled in him by his surroundings when he was a boy stuck with him throughout the years. As long as you don't have it out for him and you haven't done anything to hurt him too badly he'll try his very best to make you happy until he is used to you.
Not having been formally schooled he leaned everything he knows from experience or books. He learns very quickly and tends to retain information well.
He isn't as comfortable with his body as he once was but he will still walk around without a shirt on to show off his ink. He is still fairly promiscuous, but won't touch women after his wife, retaining a strong sense of loyalty to her even after her death.
He retains loyalty to whatever group he is in from and listens to orders well as long as he respects the person giving the orders. When he does work, he does it with precision and works until the job is done. With his strong sense of loyalty to groups he'll rarely leave allies behind and will willingly put himself in danger if it means saving them.
Usual appearance: Owen stands at 5'10" and (I'm too lazy to figure out how much he should weigh) weighs a reasonable amount for someone who keep up military-style exercise routine. He has bright green eyes and naturally curly blonde hair that is more often than not straitened and styled. His right side is pretty much covered in tattoos, along with his lower back, which has a tramp stamp, a pair of swallows. His left side once had tattoos from his left hip down to his knee, but they were ruined in the Korean war by some chemical burns which ended up as a unpleasant mass of scar tissue from the middle of the rib-cage down to mid-calf.
Owen usually won't be seen without a suit on- he insists on dressing well as long as he can, having been born into a poor family during the Great Depression. If he is around people he doesn't really care about impressing he will wear slacks and a work-shirt- the work-shirts and suits tend to vary in colour due to his colour-blindness, but he keeps to dark or black suits when in business situations.
Personal Information
Birthplace: West Virginia, United States
Current residence: England
Ethnic background: Irish/German (Jewish)
Past incidents:
Owen was born February 14th of 1931 onto a medium-sized farm in the Spruce Mountain area of West Virginia. He was outnumbered by six girls in the house- his five sisters and his mother. He was the sixth born son- the five before him all died before they reached their first birthday.
Owen was born the child of a rape. The sister before him was the result of adultery; his mother had been cheating on her with his father's own brother. He had been infuriated, and instead of allowing his wife to run off with a man he had once trusted fully, he got her pregnant against her will. Having no interest in a woman pregnant by another man, the uncle left, leaving Owen's mother to live with the husband she no longer cared for.
As a very young child Owen did not develop quite as quickly as he should have mentally. His father was frightened that this long-lived son would die shortly after out-living the others. However, his mother, disliking the son that had been forced on her greatly, forbid his father from making the trip to have him examined by an out-of-area doctor. Eventually his father became fed up with not knowing if his son would die or not and snuck the four-year-old out of the house.
His son was not dying, but had a fairly harmless genetic mutation that made him colourblind. The father was greatly relieved that his only surviving son was not fatally ill, but the mother was greatly disappointed. Still bitter, she decided that she and her daughters were going to make the young boy's life miserable. His mother and sisters tortured him over the first seven years of his life, traumatizing him the best they could until one day the mother's brother came to live with them. This began an entirely new cycle of abuse; as you can guess he was sexually abused by the new member of the household. His father was often gone doing work within the military so the abuse went unnoticed, but somewhat in check.
When Owen was ten his father went off to fight in World War II. He survived for two years before he was killed during combat in Japan. The same year his mother and the two sisters still living in the household contracted TB. They died, leaving him alone with his uncle. He lived with the man for three years, living in near constant terror until one day an aunt from his father's side of the family caught wind of Owen living alone with someone not of their family and insisted that the last male heir to their name live with those that were really his family. He was saved by his father's brother, Lloyd who had unwittingly caused his so much trauma in his early years of life.
From that point on he was groomed to be what Finn men were meant to be- a solider. Although he was damaged from his years living with with the other uncle, and no one was quite sure how to fix the problem he stabilized fairly well and tried his very best to fit Lloyd's expectations.
He did to a point, but when he hit puberty some of the mental issues from earlier in his life became worse and he quickly started to become extremely promiscuous. It was all men, which was what got him into trouble the most; Lloyd thought he was gay. Sensing that his fun would soon come to a quick end he began to date, although most of the girls weren't very fond of him cheating on them with men.
Then, one day when he was fifteen he found a girl that was more or less fine with him as long as he didn't touch any other women. He got along with her well enough and knew that he probably wouldn't find anyone else as open as her so he married her when he turned sixteen. Within the year they had a son and they lived with fairly little drama until 1950 when the Korean War began, and he went off to fight.
The year and a half he spent fighting in the war were arguably the worse of his life. He was captured and kept as a POW in horrible conditions. He was tortured, but refused to share information with the enemy. By the time he was rescued he was fairly close to death. He spent a few months in a military hospital and was sent home to recuperate. However, when he returned home he found that his family had died in his absence- his son in a outbreak of polio the summer after he left and his wife from TB, about a month after he sustained his injuries. He made attempts to stay there, but he couldn't stand to be around so many things were reminders of what he lost.
He moved to England in the summer of 1952. He lived a fairly peaceful life in the still-recovering country until he was almost robbed by some stupid punk who thought he would be an easy target. A few knife wounds and some 'persuasion' later the teenager was returned to the Innocenzo family with the suggestion they should keep their little brats on a leash if they couldn't control him. A week or so later a representative showed up at his door offering him a job, with nothing else interesting to do he accepted the offer.
Medical problems:
-He has arthritis from wounds sustained in the war- when it is about to rain or when it is very cold it acts up and he is sometimes bed-ridden with it.
-Dyschromatopsia with limited loss of visual activity and lack of photophobia.
-Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy, although onset won't occur for a few years (early-mid thirties).
-His left leg is a bit weak, both from the scar tissue and from his leg being broken and not set quickly enough.
-Suffers from mild PTSD. He tends to be fairly paranoid at times and has fairly severe insomnia due to nightmares. However, he has gotten his insomnia under better control as of late.
