Name: Sam
Character: Finn Mertens
Personal task: Tell only lies for 24 hours.

This is going to take Finn many attempts over the course of the entire mission due to mistakes & forgetfulness. I'll likely pepper his attempts into all my threads to some degree, usually in the form of him messing up.

While I'll be playing this mostly for laughs, I think it could be differently funny/genuinely interesting if this Goal Mini-Arc culminates in him finally making it to the last hour after weeks of effort, only for one of his close CR or close-CR-by-proxy to approach and start up an earnest conversation of some kind with him.

Crew: The Hawkins
General plans for the mission: Stealing this format from Em...

GENERAL AMBIANCE: I would like to use this mission as an opportunity to recenter the arc I started for Finn several months ago and dig into some richer storytelling. A few recurring Finn Themes weighing on him include:
- Equating self-value with usefulness!!
- How morality works when you move beyond the good/evil binary
- Straining under the weight of your own repression
- The lifelong dream (and recently, ongoing nightmare) of trying to fit in with other humans for the first time in his life. Peers (let alone peer PRESSURE) are very new to Finn. Navigating the urge to just be himself vs. sand off his harder edges to be accepted by some standard he's largely made up.
-Lots of weird jealousies of an unexamined nature
- Being seventeen and emotionally trapped between the comfort/safety of Wanting To Be Baby and the freedom/independence of Wanting To Be A Grown Up Man

Now I don't think this is the mission to explore ALL of these things, but drop me a reply if any of them ping you as something you'd be interested in exploring together, and I'll brainstorm an idea that works specifically for our characters!

Finn will also be doing plenty of his usual mad lad bullshit, stuntin' in the crows nest, getting his pirate cosplay on, general swashbuckling etc. But I'm excited to get some meat with my dessert!

BACKSTORY: Like Aldyhion, Finn will probably get REALLY into coming up with an backstory for himself in a way that may or may not reveal some personal wish fulfillment for anyone looking closely. I'm down to coordinate backstories too if anyone would like, even if we're on different ships!

MISSION STRATS: Finn will be vibing in a big way with the twins captaining The Hawking; in ways that are embarrassing and make him miss his girlfriend a lot for reasons unclear. He's also just generally going to be excited about the adventuring and experiencing the pirate lifestyle he Has Read So Much About…which is basically just above ground dungeon crawling, he’s pretty sure.
