CANON HISTORY: Wiki HereIN GAME HISTORY: Finn Hayes grew up in L.A., in a neighborhood that was poor and often saw violence. He was raised in a broken home, his father having left when he was a baby, his mother doing her best to make ends meet. She was killed by a stray bullet during a turf war between rival gangs, and Finn was left to be raised by his maternal grandmother on the other side of town in a slightly better, but still treacherous, neighborhood.
Finn’s grandmother was strict, and raised him right, with a good moral compass and rigid rules that demanded he get homework and chores done before going out with his friends. Finn thrived in this environment where he actually had an adult's full attention, where he had structure. His grades shot up and he landed in some advanced classes. This earned him bullies; Finn wasn't one for fighting back and instead kept his head down and did his best to avoid fights - though that didn't always work out. Thankfully it was only in his Senior Year, and soon he was graduating and could leave all that mess behind him.
After puttering around trying to figure out what to do with his life while holding down several odd jobs - fast food cashier, car wash attendant, assistant to a local car mechanic - he finally decided he wanted to try at being a police officer. While he knew his neighborhood harbored mostly resentment against the police for what they claimed was racial profiling, Finn thought maybe joining the ranks he could help make a difference and help turn the tide away from such behavior.
He graduated top of his class in the Academy, and spent a few years as a police officer mostly patrolling the areas where he grew up. It was tough, thankless work, but he still loved it. He was told he could be on the fast track to being a detective if he kept up the good work. But promotions were slower than he was told, and soon he saw that no matter what he did, systemic favoritism and racism were rampant and getting him nowhere. No longer wanting to stay in the old neighborhood, he chose Orange County to start over.
AUDITION
Sooo...this is some sort of local community blog thing? That’s cool, I guess. I mean, I just googled "things to do in the OC" and some posts from here popped up.
Name’s Finn. Just moved into the OC. Hi?
