Name: Finiero
Alias: N/A
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Race: Humanoid
Alignment: Neutral
Origin: Finiero’s world is no longer in existence, but that doesn’t mean he was an orphan or anything. He was born in a nameless world with many other angels, but grew up in a remote location in Neverland, away from Peter Pan and his friends.

Appearance:
Personality:
Public Personality: Whenever Finiero is in public, he really doesn’t care about what anyone else thinks. If someone comes up to him and tries to become ‘friends’, he will usually ignore him and just walk away. However, Finiero does have a heart somewhere deep inside of him, so he will stand the company of others for long enough. The people he doesn’t completely ignore are those who are kind, yet not officious. Anyone who will be modest enough to approach him without bursting into some conversation about themselves will be welcomed somewhat…well…decently enough by Finiero. When dealing with people who annoy him, Finiero usually just says some insult that is too complex for them to understand, then walks away. Overall, he’s very reserved, but incredibly observant of everything going on around him.
Private Personality: When Finiero is alone, he isn’t much different from how he is in public. The main difference is that his actions are more relaxed, and he has more focus. In public, he must focus on nothing but those around him, observing their actions and taking mental notes. However, when he is alone, he can take his time and observe his surroundings more clearly. Although he doesn’t really show his emotions, he seems to be a lot happier when alone. He’s not constantly thinking of ways to make people leave him alone, and no one is bugging him, so he doesn’t always have a condescending glare in his gaze. This gives him the opportunity to actually enjoy life for what he has instead of remembering how he hates others.

History: It wasn’t long ago…the mixing of humans and angels. Many believe the event to have never happened, but such occurrences are still going on as we speak. Finiero was the result of such an occurrence. In a world that has long since been lost from existence, a beautiful angel by the name of Priscilla livied in peace. She often went in secret to the world of humans to get away from her own world. It was inevitable that she would end up encountering one of them.
On a normal day, no different from any other, Priscilla found herself visiting Neverland. She made sure she blended in well with the humans, and was very inconspicuous. However, when a man came up to her and bumped into her, she found something was missing from her pockets. Enraged by what had just happened, Priscilla found the man and forced him to give back the item. The man refused at first, but looking upon her face, he couldn’t help but fall head over heels for her. Priscilla was the same, only…the man was a hideous stain on society. She fell for him, not because he was a good looking guy, but because of how different they were. Two people on the opposite sides of the living standard spectrum…Needless to say, it was the strangest pairing anyone had seen for a long time.
Priscilla had to keep this relationship a secret. For months, she had succeeded in hiding her love of the thug on the street, but then came an event which she couldn’t hide. She was carrying a child. The rest of the angel’s were obviously enraged about this, but they were a very accepting race. They welcomed Priscilla and her baby, although they didn’t like what the baby represented. When the baby was born, the thug couldn’t be found. Finiero was to be raised by his mother alone.
As Finiero was growing up, he quickly learned the difference between angels and half-breeds. The real angels were always happy and trying to be ‘good’, while Finiero was simply trying to stand their ‘goodness’. He always hated being near the other young ones, and often stayed far away from them whenever he could. This always made school very hard for him to handle. Everyone was always so full of light and goodness, while Finiero honestly didn’t care. He just wanted to go through his life peacefully, without everyone talking about how wonderful everything was. He knew the world had problems, and he also knew the Heartless situation at a young age. It would be redundant to say he was a…different child.
His teachers soon became aware of his introverted attitude, and were concerned. They began discussing the situation with the elders of their society, as well as Priscilla. None of them knew what to do with him. In the end, Priscilla decided to take him in a more suited environment. The two of them left their world and lived in Neverland. Priscilla knew this would be the best place for Finiero. It was a peaceful world, and it was where Finiero’s father was thought to be. Of course, there was no way to prove this. Still, Priscilla felt there was some sort of hope somewhere in the area.
As Finiero grew up, his introverted attitude set in more and more. He would go for days on end without speaking to anyone except his mother. Even when he spoke to his mother, he said very little. Priscilla began to grow afraid for her son, but she wouldn’t give up on him. She started to spend more and more time with Finiero, attempting to bond with him and make him open up to her. However, Finiero would always give his mother cold responses, and never seemed to care much for her company. One day, he told her that she was wasting her time, and she should be spending her years doing something useful. This hurt his mother beyond belief, and she then gave up on making any sort of relationship with her son.
After his mother decided to give up on any personal connections with him, Finiero began to see the world for what it truly was. He wasn’t allowed to go to school for obvious appearance issues, but he was allowed to interact with others when he wanted to. It didn’t take him long before he ran into a group of school children who thought it was funny to be different. Of course, they started to annoy him, but Finiero wasn’t paying any attention to their ‘shenanigans’. He honestly didn’t care in the least about what they had to say. However, the teenagers weren’t about to let some blond-haired pretty boy get away. So, they continued to bother him.
Finiero wasn’t a child of patience, especially when it came down to dealing with idiotic human teenagers. He was trying to the best of his abilities to be patient, but after a few minutes, he couldn’t take it any more. It was especially worse when they started to shove him around. Finiero, instantly utilizing his abilities, seriously wounded the teenagers, leaving them in a near-death situation. Finiero didn’t even run away when he attacked. Instead, he looked the lead boy straight in the face and told him this was what they got for their ignorance. Turning away, Finiero casually went back to his home without any changes.
When his mother heard of what he had done, she was in complete shock and horror. She tried to reprimand Finiero for his actions, but Finiero refused to listen. Instead, he merely turned to his mother and told her he was leaving. His mother wouldn’t allow him to do so. However, Finiero was very strong willed at the young age of eleven. He turned to his mom, and told her she was an impediment to everything he was hoping to achieve in his life. His mother was completely shocked at this statement, but she knew there was nothing she could do. She could tell in his gaze that he was leaving. All Priscilla did was merely nod, and watch through teary eyes as her only son walked out of her life.
Finiero was only eleven…but he managed to live. By making using his now-developed wings, Finiero flew off to Neverland to live in the most ironic setting of his life. He was surrounded by an environment that was happy and cheerful and overall sickening. Everytime he ran into one of the natives, he felt like destroying them. However, he put his grievances aside to keep himself in a decent place to live. After about two years, he began to grow sick of their company, and decided to travel the worlds.
He made his living by getting his food off the land. Shelter wasn’t much of a problem, especially when he tended to frequent the Land of the Dragons. Caves were everywhere, and every other family was a farmer. He spent the majority of his life living in this manner, and from his secluded living, he began to grow curious of the world around him. The different humans he had encountered in his life all reacted to him in different ways, and this aroused a natural curiousity in him. He was part human…yet he understood nothing of his race. It was at that point that he decided to study humans, which brings him to the present.

-----------------------
You said not to give a character wings unless they have a specific reason, so I will be posting it here. It’s true that I could make him a normal human, but when it comes down to his backstory, I think the need to have him be a figure of ultimate good is necessary. Whenever he is traveling around the worlds, humans will be seeing him as either weird or a savior. This will make it more of a motive for him to study the human race. The humans will think he is here to help them, but he really only cares for himself.
The wings also act as symbolism for the life he left behind. He hides his wings beneath his cloak, making sure no one can see him. He wanted to leave his mother behind, but he feels that every time he looks at them, it’s simply another way he is being restricted by his weak parents.
One last reason is his half-breed nature. His actions will be fueled by his desire to fully understand his heritage. He realizes he is an angel, but he also realizes his humanity at the same time. With each action he commits, everyone will be expecting the ultimate good out of him. However, Finiero only acts for his cause, and will make people see that he is nothing like an angel. His ironic appearance will act as a judgment for other people, pushing him harder to understand humans. He will want to see why humans make these decisions and study them even further.

-----------------------
Appearance:
Physical Features: None of Finiero’s physical features stand out because of the armor he wears. However, some muscle can be seen from the shaping of his armor. For everything else, Finiero seems to be a skinny-muscular man.
Facial Features: Finiero’s face doesn’t stick out too much. He has two golden colored eyes that stick out more than anything. Otherwise, he doesn’t have anything noticeable. His chin is small, his nose is skinny, and his cheek bones stick out enough to show he has them. His hair, however, sticks out quite a bit. Instead of just having a blond color, his hair is a golden color to match his eyes. He wears his hair down in a natural style, letting his medium length hair fall down over his face and neck.
Clothing: Instead of wearing clothing like everyone else, Finiero wears his azure armor at all times. It opens up in a V shape from his shoulders, going down to reconnect in the middle of his chest. The rest of his armor isn’t very special. It covers the rest of his body, and is made of mythril metal that was crafted by some of the best blacksmiths in Neverland. His boots and gloves are the same, but still allow him the flexibility he needs to fight and move. There is also a very flexible mythril cape tied to the shoulders of his armos. Upon inspection, the cape serves no visible purpose, but Finiero uses it to cover his two snowy white wings. Being an angel, there are two feathery wings coming out from the bones near his shoulder joints. They are usually folded behind his cape, but when they are spread, they form a 7’ wingspan.
Miscellaneous Items/Articles: None really.
Personality:
Resolve: Finiero’s goals are not 'his own'. He has no particular goal which he seeks, but he wanders the worlds to learn more of people and their existence.
Pursuit: It cannot really be said why Finiero travels from world to world trying to observe humans. He claims to deny that any reason exists, but in all honesty, he’s curious. Since he is part human himself, he wishes to see exactly what full-blooded humans are like. However, he denies anything that hints at this reasoning. All of his actions are pointed at researching humans, but it’s more of a subconscious acting which makes him act as such.
Fears: Finiero is afraid of the ignorant. As a ‘researcher of people’, he has learned that there is nothing more powerful than a group of stupid humans united for one cause. He has experienced the strength of a mob of idiots, and he doesn’t wish to experience it any more.
Hopes: Finiero wants what everyone else wants: knowledge. He doesn’t want knowledge for the sake of power, he just wants to understand the world around him. True strength comes from the knowledge of your surroundings. If he can become strong enough to anticipate what will occur in his environment, then he will be able to live a perfectly peaceful life without having to worry about a quick death. He wants to continue living for as long as he can.
Hobbies: Finiero isn’t exactly…a recreational creature, but there are a few actions he enjoys more than others. His favorite of which is watching the moon. Although he cannot explain why, he has always found something peaceful about watching the pale glow of the moonlight. He can spend an entire night just watching the celestial body move across the darkened sky.
Public Personality/Private Personality:
Public Personality: Whenever Finiero is in public, he really doesn’t care about what anyone else thinks. If someone comes up to him and tries to become ‘friends’, he will usually ignore him and just walk away. However, Finiero does have a heart somewhere deep inside of him, so he will stand the company of others for long enough. The people he doesn’t completely ignore are those who are kind, yet not officious. Anyone who will be modest enough to approach him without bursting into some conversation about themselves will be welcomed somewhat…well…decently enough by Finiero. When dealing with people who annoy him, Finiero usually just says some insult that is too complex for them to understand, then walks away. Overall, he’s very reserved, but incredibly observant of everything going on around him.
Private Personality: When Finiero is alone, he isn’t much different from how he is in public. The main difference is that his actions are more relaxed, and he has more focus. In public, he must focus on nothing but those around him, observing their actions and taking mental notes. However, when he is alone, he can take his time and observe his surroundings more clearly. Although he doesn’t really show his emotions, he seems to be a lot happier when alone. He’s not constantly thinking of ways to make people leave him alone, and no one is bugging him, so he doesn’t always have a condescending glare in his gaze. This gives him the opportunity to actually enjoy life for what he has instead of remembering how he hates others.
