D2D App | Finch

Hi sorry yes I had to reupload this because I'm a dumdumb with butterfingers.
--
Name: Dana "Finch" Bures

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Faction: Phoenix Corp

Specialty:

Sharpshooter (since she doesn't want to use her six shooters ever) ; Runner ; Operations

Great aim, best legs in town, carrying out missions given to her is her favourite thing to do.

Real-World Ethnicity:

Slovak

Dust Dependency:

2% Dust Dependency. Finch's ability is minor kinetic absorption. Kinetic energy is stored inside her body. She uses her gauntlet as a way to redirect the energy and send it back at someone. She can take a punch and throw it back in your face--the stronger the hit the more she can take in however she cannot expel all of it at once. The force alone could kill her. Finch can only carry up to "half" her size in energy, and if she tries to take in more than that, the trigger could backfire and severely injure her.
She can also use this ability to propel herself forward by releasing the energy into the balls of her feet when she is running. However last time she did this, she decimated her shoes. It was a sad day for everyone.
Romantic/Sexual Orientation: Pansexual

D%: Phoenix Corp + 22% : Dust Dependency +2% Total = D% 24

Personality:

Shy | Loquacious | Independant | Thick | Leisurely | Happy

Shy : Loquacious

Finch is one of those extroverted shy people, the kind that when they first meet you, so be careful! She will talk your ears off out of sheer nervousness. You would never guess by first meetings alone that she is probably absolutely unprepared to meet you. The more comfortable she gets with you, the less she will go off on tangents and ramble. It's almost instinctive that she talk as much as humanly possible in order to fill an awkward silence that might not even happen. Talk about jumping the gun!

Independent

Ever since Finch was young, she's been an independant person. This can come off bad sometimes, as she tends to not be able to accept help the first time someone offers it to her. She's not exactly the most proud person, however accepting help from others can make her feel like a burden--she doesn't mean to come off as standoffish but it could happen. Try to bare with her, she's new to this!

Thick:

Sometimes, Finch can come off as a little.. slow. She didn't have much formal schooling, opting to be taught by her older brother from what he learned at school. They would share books, and homework, and he would teach her whatever it was that she wanted to know. Because of the lack of formal teaching though, she's not the brightest person. Because of her lack of education she is also very set in what she does, or what she thinks she does know. Proud of the few facts she has tucked under her belt.

Leisurely:

A lounger. If she's not working, Finch is probably sleeping or talking to someone in some god forsaken, forgotten corner of the world. She takes her life at a casual pace whenever she can since it wasn't something she could do growing up. Very much a stop to smell the roses kind of person.
Happy:

Somewhat self explanatory; Finch is a very happy person. Please be gentle.

Equipment:

Twin Six Shooters: Self explanatory. Her six shooters were a gift from her father when she left their home looking for more, he said that they would keep her safe. Unfortunately, she's not really all that sure where to get ammo so she's been holding into them for as long as she can without using them. She's not afraid to show them off if you give her trouble, but will she shoot? Debatable. Probably not, actually. Unless she's in the biggest pickle of her life.
"The Power Glove": Her not so secret weapon--using her abilities she can center and focus kinetic energy that she has stored into her hand, and release it into a concentrated form through the gauntlet.
"Boot Biters": The affectionate name she has given to her upside down cleats if that's what you want to call them. Her boots come customizable with steel front plates that have been spiked for efficiently getting rid of enemies with one fell swoop of her mighty legs, and you know, chipping away at rocks when she doesn't want to bend over.

History Dossier:

She started her life out as Dana Bures, it was a humble name for a girl who spent most of her youth on the outside looking in. And much like many any onlooker, she dreamed of being somewhere better. The grass is always greener on the other side and was she ever ready to lay in that grass and smother herself in allergens like pollen and dander and who knows what else was on those grounds. Take the slums, and put those slums inside of the slums and add an extra helping of cockroaches and bed mites on top of that and you have the home that Dana grew up in. Crowded, overpopulated buildings where you couldn't even sneeze without having a chorus of "bless you" sung back at you for what felt like minutes on end. Because, you know, everyone within a block radius could hear and feel it.
She hated it. But she's also one to over exaggerate to an extreme.
Dana grew up in Low-End Ironstead, but never once visited the Shambles, so if she thought that her home was crowded, she can only imagine how those people lived. But growing up in a small apartment with one older brother, one younger sister, and your two parents could get a little insufferable after some time. All five of them, sharing one small room paid for by the fact that both her mother and her father worked hard in the factories, helping to support not only themselves, but the entirety of Ironstead (at least in her eyes) they were heroes. Heroes that hoped that one day, their daughter would follow in their footsteps and provide for the people.
Heroes that put all of their children to work the moment they could. They were told that the war effort had left a huge impact on the community and it was their duty to help whether they would get anything for it or not.
Volunteer service.
The volunteer life had not been the life that Dana had been looking forward to, and as she spent her youth toiling away to fix the battle torn city in her wake, she began to dream bigger dreams. Dreams of the aforementioned greener side of life. And so, she would hope for a better day to come, where she could have access to making her world a better place. At the age of 21, she got her wish when she decided to leave her home in Low-End Ironstead and pursue a career in the mining industry. She told herself that it would be the only way to fund her dreams; and she could be right.
However, as luck would have it, she literally spun a wheel to choose between factions, in the end she chose the Pheonix Corps this way, but was extremely happy with her decision, seeing as the crest matched her shoes perfectly. Win win, honestly. It wasn't until her first mission three years ago that she came to realize just how perilous her journey would be.
The flowing cash and the addictive aspects of the job were what kept her going. Maybe singing wasn't really her true calling after all.

Relationships:

KIMI | Room Mate |

TBA

TWITCH | Tutor | Dastardly Duo |

Finch has a high regard for Twitch. He's not been around long but in the time he has been there, she's grown to think very highly of him. Currently he is exchanging study lessons with her for lessons on how to survive and react quickly in the field. Brains for Fitness. She hopes that they can grow even closer with time; more than anything she likes to pole vault him into the air when he's in his suit and turn him into a human cannonball, it's what dreams are made of.

GWEN | Coffee Connoisseur | B-TEAM Bramble

One of the few people to refer to her as Dana; and always a pleasure. Finch, like Twitch, holds Gwen in high regards, seeing her not only as superior, but a friend and someone that she'd love to be around more often. The smell of cigar smoke might be bothersome to some, but it reminds Finch of a happier, wholesome time. She'd drink coffee with Gwen if ever given the chance. 

SANTIAGO | 

Santi is a little drop of sunshine in her life. He's always kind and positive to her, egging her on into doing what she wants to do--a constant support. She loves him with all her heart and will beat the snot out of anyone who isn't nice to him. Beating the snot out of them with kindness that is, one fistfull of it at a time.

BAL | The Good Doctor | An old Friend

Balendin and Finch go way back, though at first neither of them really realized it. Bal was a doctor at her local Low-End clinic growing up. As a teenager she would visit him on again off again due to injuries sustained because of her abilities. Somehow, they grew close enough for her to accept his help in learning to control them and reign them in so she would get injured less and less. One day, she stopped seeing him--when he left for Orion to work there instead. They had a lovely lunch together on their last day, when he told her he would be leaving. Finch was saddened by the news but wished him luck, and thanked him for all that he had done for her.


Six years later, they've met up again after the Atolli attack, when Bal was taking care of GenHumans at PC. There were tears.

FRAN | Competition |

Her biggest Rival in PC, even though she doesn't necessarily view him like that, she's still more than happy to egg him on. It's fun, she likes him a lot.

HASSAN | 

Hassan is an absolute treat. Finch adores being around this guy, though if someone were to ask her how he felt about her she would simply shrug and be on with it. She has no idea, she can't read him and that's what makes it all the more fun. A challenge! They met at a karaoke bar, where he convinced her to sing on stage--as in she had no choice in the matter and he happened to be there with her. Really, she was a mess, she can't remember the day very well other than she thinks he's great. 10/10 would hang out with again.

Fun Facts Friday with Finch!!

Finch is left handed, and greatly admires anyone who is ambidextrous. She wishes that she could be that way.
The nickname "Finch" comes from the fact that you can always find her belting out a tune when she thinks no one is looking, or listening. Much like the songbird. She was embarrassed at first, but she's actually grown quite fond of it.
She has a dream of becoming a singer one day, however she suffers from extreme stage fright!
Quotes to Questions!!
"Is this legal?"
"Sorry, I don't think I heard you quite right..."
"Can you do that? ...Wait, can I do that?"
"I want to try!"
"You think that's awesome, wait until you see this--"
"Awe, not again!"
"One more time, come on."
"What do you mean this isn't a manual?"
"Are you asking me on a date?"

RP method:

Lit/Semi-lit&script ;;; Skype, google docs, twitter, sometimes notes (Would prefer not in the comments section because I can guarentee you I will get lost and confused.) I'm available a lot of the time to do just about anything, and I absolutely LOVE plotting characters out with people. If you want to talk headcanons/ocs at any time I'm more than happy to do that. World building is the best part of OC encounters. I would also appreciate talking at least once before our ocs become like, close friends just so I can get to know you and your character a little better.

Shipping?:

Absolutely. I love it, I breathe it, it makes me chuckle and it makes me cry and it makes the world go round. Though again, same thing with friends I'd like to talk to you at least once or twice before you start making anything up just so I can get to know you or your charactes first! However I'm a firm believer in if it's meant to be, it will be!
