Appearance[]

The Finger is a short, stubby man with a large gut and large arms. His facial hair consists of a mohawk, sideburns, and a mustache that spreads through his cheeks. He has a necklace lines with teeth, bones and his mother's shrunken head. He dresses in a military fashion with a multi-pocket vest, camouflage shorts, a backpack filled with arrows and guns, and camouflage tattoos on his arms.

His most unique trait is his 6th Finger on his right hand, this is probably the reason he dubs himself 'The Finger'.

Personality[]

The man is insane. He pretends his mother is talking to him while he talks to the shrunken head he keeps on his necklace. He also presumes too quickly, meaning he will stubbornly believe whatever comes out of his mouth as fact. When on the hunt, he is calm and quiet, but when he gets into a fight, his temper skyrockets into an uncontrollable fit of rage, he will not stop attacking until he wins. Though the man is quick to pull an arrow, he has a code of honor that prevents him from hurting a woman, and this trait was taught to him by his mother.

Gear[]

The Finger has a set of exploding arrows that he uses to hunt for his prey. He shoots them using 4 sub-machine-looking guns, a crossbow and a regular bow. Other than that, he has a knife and traps ready to catch the prey by surprise.
