“And you?”

“Used to be a stormtrooper, but now I’m rebel scum. Until the end.”

As a child, Finn was stolen along with countless others and raised to be a mindless soldier for the First Order. With his name and old life erased, he was designated as FN-2187 and assigned to all sorts of distasteful jobs. However, the First Order's brain washing tactics never really took effect on him, as he was never really able to stomach the atrocities that the First Order committed as they attempted to take the galaxy. It wasn't until a pilot for the Resistance was being held on the ship he was stationed on that he would make his move, simultaneously helping the pilot escape as well as fleeing the First Order himself. He officially joined the Resistance, taking on the name Finn after that pilot decided that FN-2187 wasn't a suitable name. He participated in various missions, risking his life time and time again to free the galaxy from the First Order's tyranny alongside Rey and Poe Dameron.
