### Relatives

## Physical description

### Gender

Nonbinary

Finch Geographic is National Geographic's spouse and the stepparent of the Geographic children. Serving as the neck that turns NGHQ's head, Finch works as a physicist officially and as a mediocre portal designer when they aren't being watched. They mainly hold up National Geographic as a company when their husband is unavailable.

## Appearance

Finch, when compared to other members of their species, is a perfectly average height, standing at about five feet. This is considered short compared to other creatures.

Finch's fur is a dull brown shade, with their abdomen and tail being a light orange. Their cheeks, containing the same gelatinous substance as their tail, are the same color. They have teal blue eyes and a beauty mark on their left cheek.

One of Finch's most defining features is their second mouth, extending from the base of their chest to the back of their neck. It functions in the same way as their first mouth and has much sharper rows of teeth, allowing for use in combat...but they'd never need to fight anyone, right?

also they have glasses never forget the glasses plz&ty

## Known Personality

Caring greatly about "science" as a concept, Finch prides themself on the idea of being purely scientific in attitude. This is all for naught, however, because they can claim just about anything to be science if they please, and half of what they do is just pseudoscientific nonsense bullshit. Some of their endeavors do have basis in science, though. That's the one benefit of having a degree in physics.

Finch, following their outward appearance of an eccentric mad scientist, has a strong detachment from the world around them. Their commitment issues manifest in attempts to escape from Locus and free themself from a place they're too afraid to grow attached to, and they generally seem unwilling to accept the idea that they've found a home within National Geographic HQ. Though it's never said out loud, they care about Nat and their stepchildren more than anything else.

## Lore

As a Furrytown resident, Finch was an unemployed ex-physicist who had been thrown out from their previous job after spouting bullshit about impossible feats they could create through science. That being their greatest interest of all: interdimensional portals. Stuck in the confines of their own home, Finch withered away and dedicated their entire life to creating a portal out of the planet they hated and into a new one free of the shackles of scientific limits. They did all of this alongside Alistair, a street urchin they had picked up with the hope of turning him into a perfect scientific assistant.

This need to leave their home world is how they eventually found themself, and Alistair, in the Ashlands of Locus. It's unknown how long they stuck it out before stumbling upon NGHQ, but their welcoming into the National Geographic domain was near instant. Due to a shared interest in science, Nat and Finch bonded very quickly. Finch's prowess in both magical and scientific fields landed them their high-ranking job at the company.

## Relationships

### National Geographic

Despite Finch's general inability to work at an acceptable pace and tendency to cause trouble amongst their coworkers, Nat chooses to keep Finch around, and they admire him for being able to tolerate such antics. How the fuck they managed to fall in love throughout the chaos that is Locus as a whole is unknown, but they work as a great team and Finch doesn't mind holding up the fort when Nat is off and away killing people and shit.

### Alistair

Without Alistair, Finch most likely would've never continued pursuing their career (for lack of a better term) in portal creation. Alistair kept them going when things got tough, and they appreciate his company much more than they do any other person. As Finch's assistant, Alistair does little more than bringing them stuff and cleaning up messes, but it's valued work nonetheless. Finch sees themself in Alistair.

### Geographic Children

Finch's relationship with their stepchildren varies at times, though Finch tries their hardest to be a decent parent to them. As the former primary caregiver of Alistair (he's 17, they're not even his real parent! ugh!), Finch believes that their parenting is excellent and unmatched. This is untrue, but you can tell they give a shit, at least.
