Finn McGill
Finn has been a roving gypsy, a guest bard to the Seelie Court, Guildmaster
of
Bards more times than he cares to remember, Prime Minister of Ironcloud, and
most recently Baron of Ironcloud, though it was not him that was elected, it
was really his son, Rowan. Everyone remembers Rowan, but Rowan doesn't exist
anymore:
Finn had once retired to a tiny cottage southeast of
Mourningwood Glen, along
with his fey wife. Finn's not-yet-conceived son by this wife, named Rowan, had
travelled backwards in time to prevent some catastrophe that would have caused
his mother and father's death. This also caused Finn to learn of his company
training for World Banner Wars III, so Finn came out of retirement; Rowan, as
a
result, was never conceived. Finn's fey wife returned to her sea home, and Finn
found himself as Baron of Ironcloud one day as the timelines settled
themselves.
Finn also happens to have a personal timeline that is
like swiss cheese. Stuff
like this happens to him far too often, and seems to have begun with his
travels to Faerie.
Finn is a titled Lord in Ironcloud, though his manorhouse
and estates have
disappeared - part of Ironcloud's strange geography.
Finn is also a Master Bard in the Emerald Hills. His
chosen instrument is the
Bodhran. His chosen mode is the written word, in all of its' forms. He is a
master of letters and of the common tongue, and knows a smattering of Germanic,
Latin, Quenya, and Elisabethan. He is also a trained heraldic blazoner and
possesses a decrying voice that can be turned, as they say, "up to 11".
