I WALK THIS EMPTY STREET
[/color][/font][/center]Personality
[/font][/center]DISLIKES: Girls who give it up too easily, guys who are inappropriate towards his sister, having to wake up early, being slapped (but then again, who does?), his Mum when she's angry at him - he's a mummy's boy.
LIKES: Drumming, sandwiches and experimenting with different fillings, walking around in different states of nakedness, drinking milk from the carton and never replacing it, getting laid by any girl whom he considers to be a challenge.
BAD HABITS: He's never on time and you can expect him to be late by about thirty minutes every time; he's perpetually lazy and refuses to clean up even though he's exceptionally good at cleaning spells; he's constantly using pick up lines on girls he can actually tolerate.
GOOD HABITS: He's exceptionally gifted at cleaning spells; he's always up for a fun time no matter what the crowd is unless they're groupies; you can rely on him to listen if you mean something to him.
WEAKNESSES: He's really easily distracted; he comes off as a bit of an arse due to his honest and straight-forward nature; if a girl propositions him with sex, no matter how skanky she is, it's rare that he will ever say no.
STRENGTHS: He's very protective - perhaps actually over protective - of any girl in his life because of his Mum and his younger sisters; he's a really good listener if he actually cares about you; he's pretty trustworthy - if you tell him a secret, he won't go and blab it to the media.
PERSONALITY: Honestly? Tommy's a bit of an annoying git. He can be a complete sweetheart when the situation calls for it but usually, he's just this cheeky kind of guy who never wants to grow up - kind of like Peter Pan. He enjoys get under people's skin to the point where they just want to absolutely murder him! Usually, if they get mad at him, he'll just rival their temper with a cheeky grin. Nothing really gets to him except those guys who hurt girls. If anybody touched his sisters inappropriately, he'd be the first to throw a punch because that just isn't cool.
He's completely and totally comfortable around others especially around his band mates. He's shameless around them - he practically considers them family. He has this (possibly not so bad) habit of walking around the house in some form of nakedness whether it be without a shirt or pants. He's completely confident in the way he looks and if somebody has a problem with it then they can close their eyes for all he cares!
He's constantly flirting with girls unless they're groupies because then he doesn't really see the point - he knows they'll sleep with him anyways. In that long line of groupies and girlfriends, he's trying to find his "one" or his "soul-mate" who he has already got all figured out. He sleeps with a lot of girls but this really isn't because he's a manwhore or whatever - it's just that if a girl's offering him sex, he'll more than likely take it. No worries. He honestly prefers those girls who are more of a challenge because he doesn't fancy himself falling in love with somebody easy.
But once he's in a relationship with a girl, he can be a bit of a prat and will constantly be saying stuff like, "Well, it's not going to suck itself, darlin'" unless he truly cares about them. He's only had one committed relationship in his life and that ended terribly (thanks to her) so he's figured that there's no use committing to somebody unless they're really worth it and he believes in their relationship.
ON THE BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS
[/color][/font][/center]Incharacterextras
[/font]WAND: Reed, dragon heartstring, 11 and 3/4 inches
BROOMS: N/A
PET(s): N/A - he hasn't got time for pets
WHERE THE CITY SLEEPS
[/color][/font][/center]Relationships
[/font][/center]AMORTERIA: The smell of freshly washed laundry, cocoa butter, and toast
MIRROR OF ERISED: To find his perfect girl and have her love him back.
VERITASERUM:
1) Under that cocky and cheeky exterior, Tommy really has one sole purpose in his life - to find his soul mate. He already has his ideal girl picked out in his head and now he's just waiting for her to appear in his long line of girlfriends.
2) He doesn't get along with his sister closest to him in age - in fact, they argue a lot - but he'd punch any guy who hurt her.
3) He's probably the one who brings the most groupies back but he gets easily annoyed with them the morning after once he realises they aren't his dream girl.
4) He really did want to name the band "Hippogriff Dung" and Charlie almost killed him for that.
5) He actually loves being one of seven.
6) His best mate out of the band is probably Leon and he's uber protective of him. They also get along and fight like an old married couple most of the time.
BOGGART: Not finding his perfect girl and being forever alone.
DEMENTOR: Finding his Hogwarts girlfriend in bed with guy after guy and having to break up with her.
PATRONUS: His best memory is easily when the Fifth Horseman were picked up for their record label and told they were to be touring with his favourite band, the Weird Sisters.

HISTORY: Tommy was born to Seamus and Lavender Finnigan (née Brown) on the 28th of October 2000 in Ireland (where he grew up), when the two of them were just in their earlier twenties. From the moment he was born, he was a troublesome child, something that only progressed as he got older. A year after his birth, his baby sister was born who he didn't get along with at all - in fact, they fought like cats and dogs, something that irked his parents to no end. They were constantly screaming the house down and rarely ever played nice. However, that all changed when another sister was born two years later and their parents discovered the best way of getting their two eldest kids to be quiet was by threatening to send them to their Grandmother's house.
As Tommy's parents kept having children, they progressively had to spread out their money between their kids who got less and less pocket money every time another kid was born. When he was six years old, a year after his next sister was born, his Grandma took a pouty Tommy to the Leaky Cauldron after a long day at his school in the Muggle world and that's where he discovered this magical thing called music. He sat there for a full thirty minutes, entranced as they played song after song, until his Grandma practically carried him out the door. From then, he started listening to music more and more, his favourite being the Weird Sisters.
At the age of seven, still listening to music as happily as ever, he heard on the radio that one of his most loved bands were breaking and he stared at that damn radio, so angrily, that he managed to blow it up. Of course, his parents came running out of the house, obviously alarmed by the noise and were both relieved that Tommy had shown his first sign of magic - even if he'd taken over Seamus' knack for blowing up things by accident.
When he was nine years old, yet another child was born into the Finnigan family, another girl, and he had been walking back from his Muggle school with his three sisters when he decided to duck into the local community centre which was right next door. He dragged them inside and had been peeking through the windows of closed doors when he found his future calling - drumming. After listening to the guy have his lesson, he dragged his sisters back out and practically made them run home where he found his mother in the kitchen who he begged to let him have drumming lessons who said it all depended on what his father said. After the two of them had a long talk - which Tommy and his sisters no doubt eavesdropped on - they finally decided to let him because it would keep him out of their hair for the afternoon.
Finally, when Tommy was ten, a boy was born into the Finnigan family and he actually had a brother instead of a sister, something that excited him to no end! When his brother was born, he didn't stop shouting the news to anybody who would listen for about a month, he was so proud. He spent all day with his little brother, endlessly amused of how easily it was to make him laugh or anything. He'd be occupied by the little guy until his Mum told him to bugger off and then he'd just delve back into his music seamlessly.
Tommy received his Hogwarts letter like all kids when he was eleven years old. However, unlike most kids, this letter was delivered to him in St. Mungo's while he was visiting his Mum after she'd just given birth to another daughter. Torn between wanting to stay home with his siblings and wanting to discover this big world of magic on September 1st, he cried as he had to part way with his parents and siblings, something that he'd never repeat out loud to a living soul - though his Mum likes to remind him of this moment every so often.
Upon arriving at Hogwarts, he was sorted into Gryffindor when the hat barely grazed his head and he headed off to the table where he instantly made friends that would last him his seventh year of Hogwarts whom he still speaks to now. He also met the girl he would later get involved with but more on that later.
His first few years at Hogwarts flew by rather peacefully, nothing too big or remarkable happening. He got into a few prank wars and kept playing his music just like always, usually in the Room of Requirement. In his third year, he pinned up an ad on the wall outside of Transfiguration to see if anybody else was interested in music and he actually got a few other guys interested along with a girl who sung like nobody else. From then on, they had jam sessions in the Room of Requirement. They were never a band though. More like a makeshift group of guys (and girl) who loved music.
When he was fifteen years old, he went to his first party outside of Hogwarts where he got high for the first time and kissed that girl who song like nobody else. They barely remembered in the next morning when they woke up in each other's beds, still fully clothed, but they remembered it enough to know that they liked it. So they embarked on a friends with snogging benefits relationship, something that developed into Tommy's first real relationship.
Around about a year later, after losing his virginity to this girl, he found her in bed with another guy who she claimed was just a mistake so he let it slide. This happened about three times after that until finally, Tommy had enough. Even though he'd fallen head over heels in love with this girl, he knew he wouldn't be respecting himself if he went back to her. After getting opinions from his sisters about it and after they agreed with him, he cut things off even though it broke his heart. About a month later, he made a list of his perfect girl and started his search for her, sleeping with a long succession of girls in his quest to find her.
During his seventh year of Hogwarts, he was in the midst of talking about a jam session when a guy with spiky black hair and almost girlish looks asked to join in. He looked around his group of mates and shrugged, allowing the guy to join in. He later found out the guy's name was Leon who would later become their Lead Singer. Soon, Leon joined their makeshift band and stayed with them even after graduation.
When Leon took the group over to his house after a few of the older friends had left their little makeshift music group, they played a couple of songs for his Leon's mother who said they should be in a band together. Later on, they couldn't get the idea out of their heads and put out an ad in the Daily Prophet for a bassist. They eventually ended up with a bitch of a girl called Charlie Holidays, the only decent applicant and one hell of a bassist who brought some of the best ideas to their group - even their name, though Tommy was a little upset that the group had decided on naming themselves "The Fifth Horseman" instead of "Hippogriff Dung", a name he personally thought was inspirational.
For the first two years, they didn't get very far. They mostly played overs of songs from other bands in small pubs and they had a couple of gigs in the Leaky Cauldron. That's when it happened - the lead guitarist fell in love with someone he saw in the crowd and never saw again. He wrote a song about it, then the rest of the songs just kept coming - that was their muse. Soon, they were able to do a whole gig with their original songs, something they kept doing until they were talent spotted and picked up by a record label.
About five months ago, they finished their first album and have just been informed that they'll be touring with and will be the opening act of the hotshot band called the Weird Sisters, the band that originally made Tommy want to go into music in the first place..
