Finn Asher

* Original
* Demon Form

## Overview

Finn is a half-demon turned full demon who is the son of Damian Gaunt and Mason Asher. He's the youngest demon to currently be alive and still has a lot to learn about his power. However he is forced to keep his demon side a secret from everyone but those he trusts because some people still believe that demons should be wiped out and would attempt to kill him without a second thought. Finn is currently on the run, trying to discover more about his power and inheritance as well as hide from his cousin Ebony Gaunt who wants him dead for his power.

### Personality

Finn has always valued family and friends over all else. It's his close bonds with others that really help him to thrive. He is very protective of the people he cares about, especially his half siblings Charlie and Levi and would do anything to save their lives, including sacrifice his own, if it came to it. He wants the best for everyone and usually puts the needs of others over his own, which can have its advantages and disadvantages. Finn is very hard-working when he is determined to complete a goal. Despite this, he has a laid-back nature to him and cracking a joke when he can. But if someone were to bring up personal issues or hurt his family he can turn completely and the smile will leave his face.

### History

Finn Gaunt was conceived in a drunk one night stand between his mother and father. Mason was simply not ready for the responsibility of a child, and Damian, unaware that Mason was bearing his child had, had gone away to do some soul searching for himself. Mason felt that her only option was to give up the baby, but then Taylor came into play. Taylor became a surrogate for Finn, as well as already being pregnant with her twins. Let's just say she was a very fertile and capable woman. Finn was instantly raised as one of Taylor's own as his mother didn't really seem to care for him. Damian returned a few months after and helped to raise his son, forming an automatic close bond to Finn. Finn became Damian's anchor and helped him keep under control. However, one day when Damian and Mason got into an argument that had building up for months over Finn's upbringing, and Mason's lack of being in it. The argument got intense and reached a point of verbally attacking each other, which was completely against their characters. Damian struck out at Mason and fired his dark magic towards her, which she deflected and in turn it hit Finn. The spell had so much power in it that Finn had been instantly killed. Damian felt instant regret afterwards; he had not meant to hit Finn, he didn't even want to hurt Mason, not really. About a year later, Damian had sacrificed his life to save the life of his friends. His death had caused Finn to be resurrected as Damian had used every last part of his Demon Magic in his dying body to bring his son back. He had summoned the Demon King in the soul realm - which had required a lot of power alone, and struck a deal. In return for Finn's resurrection, Damian had sold his soul for eternity to the King. A black mist formed around Damian's lifeless body, and when the mist had dispersed there was Finn, only one years old. Finn had been resurrected as a full demon, as opposed to his birth where he was just a half-demon. He grew up as part of the Asher Clan with Taylor, Levi, Charlie and soon his half-siblings Noah and Elizabeth. They all treated him like family, even the ones who weren’t. After Zandren's Army massacred the Asher Clan, Finn felt responsible for the death of his adoptive mother, Taylor as well as his half-siblings Noah and Elizabeth. Finn, Charlie and Levi moved to Stratis partly to hide from Zandren but partly to find a way to take him down. Finn's cousin, Ebony Gaunt, desired his demon powers and hence desired to kill Finn. She confronted him in Stratis and after and intense battle, Ebony had defeated Finn and left him clinging onto life before she went for her final blow. But then, Finn felt something rising up in him, something new. With a large boom of thunder, lightning struck upon him and Ebony at a large intensity. Around the lightning was a black aura that had not been there before. The demon inside of him had truly awakened. Finn felt that he could not take on Zandren until he had learnt control over his abilities and discovered who he truly was, as well as taking Ebony out of the picture. He left Stratis in search of Jerin, a demon who could guide him so that he could finally learn how to be the demon he was born to be.

### Magic

**Thunder Demon Magic:** Finn had always been quite powerful with Thunder Demon Magic, however he never had much control over it and often when he used it - if on purpose or accidentally, he would become weaker afterwards. He inherited this modified form of Lightning Magic from his mother, Mason Asher. Overtime, as he grew more powerful and gained an understanding of his abilities due to his training with Jerin, Finn was able to master this magic. His lightning is a much darker blue than lightning typically is.

**Black Demon Magic:** Finn's Black Demon Magic is an ability he inherited from his father, Damian Gaunt. The ability allows him to create and manipulate darkness. This ability is stronger at night but can still be used with significant power throughout the day. Finn's creativity is the limit of this power as he can use it any way he can imagine i.e. to create weapons or change battle terrain.

**Hellblaze Magic:** Finn was manipulated by Jerin at the end of his training with him into gaining this power. To gain it, Finn had to consume the soul of somone who wielded this magic. Jerin had tricked Finn into killing Terra Savisk, a demon with Hellblaze Magic, and consuming her soul afterwards. This meant he had the ability to generate and control dark blue flames that cannot be extinguished. In addition to its immensely devastating power, the flames also nullify any regenerative abilities including that of an immortal. Hellblaze can be imbued upon weapons through an enchantment spell to drastically increase their destructive potential, hurled as fireballs at an opponent or used in hand-to-hand combat.

**Demon Magic:** Finn's Demon Magic did not show until later in his teen years. It wasn't until he gained a greater control of his initial magic that he was able to unlock the demon magic within him. This allowed him to enhance his powers further, making them more advanced and complex, and more powerful in general. Any magic he uses has a black aura around it. Later, Finn became the first demon in millenniums to be able to achieve his full form. Finn's full form has black horns and large blac,k wings which fade into a dark blue. His eyes become empty sockets with balls of lightning where the eyes used to be, and his skin is a dark grey. He has a black tail which also fades to dark blue at its end which he can basically use as another limb.
