Belfast's Wisest:Finn

Background

Owain Corcoran was born an albino in Belfast, Ireland. Ever since he was little, his parents - steadfastly religious - prayed every night for God's gentle touch to come down from the heavens and make Owain normal. Eventually Owain joined them, seeing himself as an abnormal freak. Couldn't go out in the sun, sensitive eyes, all-white features... no one looked like him, and everyone he met either shied away or looked at him like he was an object or a museum piece. This went on for years. Eventually, Owain discovered the amazing wonders of the Internet, and a few years later he discovered YouTube. Through these mediums he found that no matter how he looked, the masses would accept him. So he indulged himself in his favorite pastime that kept him sane all those years with his parents: video games.

Let's Plays and blog videos served to make him incredibly popular, especially with his angelic looks. He became famous almost world-wide for his entertaining career, and he was happy.

And then, he Awoke while in the middle of intensely playing a video game, where the Aether demanded for him to prove his power and will, to carve his name in the heavens. A boss appeared in-game that didn't exist in the standard one, and it took everything he had to defeat it, feeling every blow and strike as he did. After the final blow was struck, Owain carved his name into its foul corpse. And so he Awoke as an Obrimos.

He tells no one about how or why he joined the Seers - only that he left.
