In most cases, Finn is seen wearing a worn, beige t-shirt with a red graphic; dark green socks; and red, green, and white sneakers with a bandage wrapped around the left sole. The legs of his pants are rolled up and have several more holes and patches, and the words "FUCK OFF" are now written above the "Homesick" patch. Accessory-wise, Finn wears his black bandanna and rings alongside two necklaces, bracelets on both wrists, and a sheathed knife on his belt. During the night, Finn wears a grey vest with multiple patches, including a large patch depicting two rats under a stylized "TROUBLE" logo on its back; as well as more bracelets on his left hand.

His hoodie, jacket, and pants are covered in holes of varying sizes, some of which are covered up with decorative patches. A patch depicting a nuclear explosion below the words "Brave New World" is sewn onto his jacket, and the word "Homesick" is stitched onto the left thigh of his pants. His accessories include a black bandanna tied around his neck and a light-blue-and-maroon pin on his lapel.

Personality
Finn, like Cassidy, is typically sarcastic, and a free-spirit. He is just as quick to make banter and jokes with his friends as he is to insult his enemies. He is very confident and friendly to most people, assuming they don't have a problem with him, Finn is always just living in the moment and enjoys having fun. He is quite charismatic, supportive, and is often seen as the authority in his group of drifters. Although he is a natural leader, his laid-back nature and ideals leads him to not exploiting this. In a letter found in Finn's tent from his parole officer, they state how pleasantly surprised they are to see how caring Finn was and how much he wanted to help others.

Despite his mellow and carefree nature, Finn is considered to be reliable, responsible, smart, and thoughtful, which emphasize his leadership and social skills. Finn is seen to the mood maker among his group of drifters and other wanderers that work on the farm too since his behavior makes him likable and fun to be around. Merrill, the Pot Farm's owner, sends most of his orders to the group through Finn, due to him seeing Finn as a trusted worker. Many drifters like Sean and Daniel find work there based on Finn's recommendations to Merrill. If Sean's relationship with Daniel is low, Finn often acts the peacemaker between the fighting brothers. Finn also gives Sean advice on how to handle Daniel, such telling him that he needs to accept Daniel is growing up and not to be too strict with him, as well advising Sean to have faith in himself and to be his own person. Cassidy remarked that Finn's presence help the drifters pull through the their rough lifestyle and Sean commented in his sketchbook that Finn is a "green philosopher" due to making profound comments from time to time. However, Cassidy states that Finn can also be selfish sometimes because he can be too stubborn to listen others' opinions, although his stubbornness is often caused by good intentions, and will occasionally needs to be called out if he gets a reckless idea.

During conversations with Finn about his family, Finn demonstrates bitterness over his father's betrayal of him and his brothers, which is one of the reasons why Finn is fiercely independent and caring towards other people. Finn admits to Sean that he greatly misses his brothers, who are still in jail, his efforts to keep his group of drifters together are caused the void they left and his need for a family to protect.

He seems have a reputation for being a player, as Cassidy makes a reference to Finn's "scoreboard" of partners he's been with. Finn himself explains to Sean that he easily obsesses over people he meets and senses a connection with. If Sean stays up to get a haircut, he will have a talk with some of the drifters in which Finn states that he is pansexual, specifying that he is attracted to people, not gender. While he does not use any label for himself, given that pansexuality is attraction to people regardless of gender, it is clear that Finn is indeed pan. This is further evidenced by the fact he is involved in a sexual (although not romantic) relationship with Hannah, while at the same time being explicitly attracted to Sean.

Throughout "Wastelands", several of Finn's pastimes can be observed, this mostly involves smoking marijuana or reading. He also enjoys wood carving as a way to vent out his emotions and focus, but admits he's not very good at it. Other activities Finn enjoys is knife throwing, which his father taught him how to do at a young age, and spraying graffiti on trains or other places.
