Finn Mertens

Finn Mertens, also known as Finn the Human, is the main protagonist from the Adventure Time series.
==Charactah Account==
The intrepid and hyperactive human boy with a love of adventure and good deeds. That thing on his head is actually a hat. Originally 12 years old, he gets older each year.
Although at times impulsive and aggressive, Finn is a kind, brave, selfless, and righteous boy. His aspirations to become a great hero makes him somewhat of a moral sheriff in the Land of Ooo, as he is willing to help and protect any innocent person or creature. Finn has a very strong sense of responsibility and becomes upset when he is unable to help others. Due to this and being somewhat simple-minded, Finn often feels conflicted when it is unclear whether something is good or evil as exemplified by his dealings with Marceline.
Despite his age and appearance, Finn seems to be quite strong and athletic; he can be seen wrestling full-grown Marauders, the large grass ogre Donny, and a general variety of monsters and creatures several times his size.

==Trivia==
*Finn's name was derived either from Old Norse "Finnr", which means "Sami" or "Finnish person", or from Irish "Fionn", which means "fair-headed", "white", or "blond".
*His original full title, "Finn the Human", is meant to parody how non-human characters in fictional works are often referred to fully by their names and species (i.e. Jake the Dog, Shelby the Worm (Who Lives in Jake's Viola), etc.).
*In the Cartoon Network Live-Action Promo "What Time Is It?" Finn is portrayed by Christopher Kramme.
*In Legends of Ooo, it is seen that Finn has a telescope that he uses to spy on Princess Bubblegum and Flame Princess.
*Finn is technically still the King of the Goblins; the goblins believe his scapegoat, Whisper Dan, to be him.
*Finn has a fictional female counterpart: Fionna.
*One of Finn's catch-phrases is being "all about" something. In "Freak City," Finn says he is "frickin' all about sugar." Yet, he also explains that he is even more "all about feeding hobos." In "The Real You," Finn shouts, "I'm all about stupid!" In "Gumbaldia", he claims that he "used to be all about violence."
*In "Dad's Dungeon," it is revealed that Finn cries rarely; only in devastating situations, such as death or heartbreak (or when he poops as revealed by Jake in Memories of Boom Boom Mountain).
*Finn and Jake frequently use math terms as catch-phrases and at times censors for curse words. However, they are shown to be terrible at math, as confirmed in the episode "Slumber Party Panic." (Examples of these words include: mathematical, rhombus, algebraic and math). This was utilized less frequently as the show progressed, though it still occassionally appeared.
*Finn's favorites have been stated throughout the series.
**Finn's favorite color is baby blue "boy style," as revealed in "The Silent King."
**Finn's favorite food is meatloaf, as stated in "Still," later confirmed in "Jake Suit," and then again referenced to in "Three Buckets."
**Finn's favorite song sounds like an alternative version of "Itsy Bitsy Spider."
*Finn is, to at least some extent, red-green colorblind, as revealed in "Red Starved."
*When Finn is wearing his doctor suit in "His Hero," he has three Scientific Parasites in his pockets.
*In "Jake vs. Me-Mow," Finn carries his adoptive mother's music box in his pack and knows her lullaby by heart.
*"Bad Little Boy," "The Prince Who Wanted Everything," "Princess Day," "Evergreen," "The Diary," "Friends Forever," "Be Sweet," "Orgalorg," "Varmints," "Cherry Cream Soda," "Broke His Crown," "Lady Rainicorn of the Crystal Dimension," "Five Short Tables," "Daddy-Daughter Card Wars," and "Ring of Fire" are the only episodes where Finn did not make an appearance.
**In the early version of "Daddy-Daughter Card Wars," he was initially going to appear at the beginning of the episode, but this was likely cut for time in the final version.
*Stormo is a creation partially made from Finn's DNA from the episode "Goliad."
*Flame Princess is Finn's first and former girlfriend. Jake referred to Princess Bubblegum as Finn's ex-girlfriend in "In Your Footsteps," but Finn replied that they "never went steady."
**Despite this, Finn refers to Flame Princess as his girlfriend for the first time in "Puhoy."
*It appears that Finn is the only character so far who ages consistently.
**At the beginning of the series, Finn's voice is more high pitched, but later near the latest episodes, Finn's voice is a bit deeper from puberty.
*There is a secret GPS implanted on Finn's ear by Princess Bubblegum, as stated in "Lady & Peebles."
*Besides Tree Trunks' pies, Finn also likes Wildberry Princess's meat pies.
*Finn likes to make lists to remember things, like in "The Real You" and "Five Short Graybles."
*In "Dungeon Train," Jake says Finn is about 5' tall.
*Finn may have some driving experience. In "Candy Streets," Finn drives Jake after he turns into a car. (This may only be true if Jake wasn't controlling himself.)
*According to The Adventure Time Encyclopædia, Finn got his name from Joshua and Margaret as they initially believed that he was a Mudfish as they knew very little about humans.
**This contradicts with "Min and Marty," where he is revealed to already have the name 'Finn' before being separated from his parents. In the same episode, it is shown that when Finn drifts alone in the raft, there is also a stuffed bear having his name tag on it along with him.
*In "The Red Throne," Finn says that he has been learning a bit of piano.
*In "Lemonhope Part 1," it is shown that Finn has been taking classes at a school run by Princess Bubblegum, one of his classes being geometry.
*In "Dentist," it is revealed that he actually knows his full name given at birth, which is "Finn Mertens," not counting his alternate universe self in "Finn the Human." It is possible he was intended to have learned this from Martin, as in "The Visitor" he refers to himself as Martin Mertens. "The Visitor" aired after "Dentist," but has an earlier production code.
*His Demonic Form is most likely a reference to Slenderman.
*In the episode "The Vault," it's revealed that one of Finn's past lives was a comet. This could have some connection to the Catalyst Comet. This was confirmed in "The Comet," as the Catalyst Comet was, in fact, one of Finn's past lives.
*In all of Finn's alternate variants, he eventually gets his right arm removed.
*Finn has begun to grow facial hair, but BMO plucks it out every morning as shown in "All's Well That Rats Swell."
*In an Adventure Time comic, Jake questioned how Finn puts random things in his backpack, one thing is a pack of pens. This may be a reference to Finn's original name.
*Finn's last name is a Dutch variant of the name Martin, which means 'warrior'.
*Finn's hat has a similarity to the hats Helpers wear, as seen on his mother Minerva's head.
*Finn's birthmark looks like a flaming sideways teardrop located in a really weird part of his body, as described by Finn in "Crossover."
**The description fits his past life as a comet.
*Finn can do the splits as shown in "Imaginary Resources."
*In "Beautopia" and "Sad Face," he drinks coffee.
