SHIELD Agent. Science nerd. Problem Solver. Cinnamon roll. Too excite.

Timeline

Click to expand.

Timeline:
* 1997 - Born December 3rd to Dr. Ann Ellison, an astrophysicist at SETI, and Mr. Walter Ellison, a silicone valley hardware engineer.
* 2002 - 2012 As she displays an early aptitude for STEM subjects, Finley's parents choose to homeschool her, allow ing her to explore her passions at her own pace. A brilliant but lonely child, she pins her longing on the stars, and all the wonders and mysteries, therein.
* 2012 - 2014 Finley completes an accelerated undergraduate degree at Stanford, earning a bachelors in applied and engineering physics with a double minor in mechanical engineering and aeronautics and astronautics. Her alienating youth and lack of social peers allows her plenty of time to focus on her schoolwork.
* 2013 - At her mother's behest, she participates in SETI summer research experience. While it does not provide friends, the research is thrilling.
* 2014 - 2018 Accepted to MIT for their Computational Science and Engineering MS/PhD program, Finley dabbles aeronautics and astronautics, materials science and engineering, and mechanical engineering research, further combining her scientific passions. Her thesis, a theoretical engine design for FTL spaceflight, garners her recruitment to the SHIELD Academy of Science and Technology.
* 2018 - 2019 While attending Sci-Tech, Finley finally meets her peers. While she is still younger than most, her age is finally not a factor in her accomplishments. She describes her time at Sci-Tech as the happiest year of her life. She graduates with honors.
* 2019 - 2021 Finley spends her time in the lab, -- and occasionally on loan to SWORD -- researching unknown technologies and creating a few advancements of her own.
* 2021 Her outstanding efforts and her guileless nature have recently earned her the trust of High Level SHIELD Operatives after the revelation of HYDRA's infiltration.

Creative Under Pressure:
When she is removed from the security of her lab, Finley's creative problem solving is becoming something of a legend. Necessity may be the mother of Invention, but Panic is the mother of Result.

Enthusiastic:
Finley's enthusiasm is boundless, especially where her special interests are concerned. Her excitement when it comes to scientific discovery and innovation is infectious.

Guileless:
Finley Ellison is completely without guile. She wears her heart on her sleeve and her emotions all over her face. She does not hide who she is. It makes her a very genuine person, but a terrible liar.

Skills

Click to expand.

Genius:
Completing a PhD AND agent training before you can legally drink isn't exactly standard, even for SHIELD. She's quite bright.

Jury-Rigger:
With her engineering knowledge and her extensive work in R&D, Finley is more than capable of using machinery for unintended purposes.

R&d:
Finley excels at research and design. Innovation is the soul of progress.

Science!:
The joys of scientific discovery and innovation keep Finley dedicated to her work. She specializes in Engineering with a soft focus in space flight and understanding and adapting alien technology.

Shield Training:
Despite any squeamishness or hesitancy she may have shown, Finely has completed all training required of her rank. Barely.

Sword Training:
As an agent who divides her time between the two agencies, she has completed the necessary SWORD training as well. She's even designed some of the training devices.

Resources

Dat App:
Finley developed a peer to peer networking app for gifted children: Precocious. As a safety measure, she included an automatic removal system triggered on the users 16th birthday. This feature was unknown to the users until a few months before their removal, allowing them time to make contact with friends out side of the app. It was one of her high school coding projects. By the time it became popular she had already been aged out of the network. She still receives residuals, though.

Scientific Contacts:
Her parents are still active and well regarded in their fields. While they don't always know what their daughter gets up to, the information she is allowed to share is always fascinating. And when she needs to pick someone's brain, the answer is often only a phone call or email away.

Shield and Sword:
These agencies have access to all the best equipment and weirdest tech.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Caffeine Addict:
While the most socially acceptable of all the chemical addictions, Finley's dependence on caffeine is borderline disturbing. At least she's easily bribable with dark chocolate covered espresso beans.

Lab Rat:
Most of Finley's time with SHIELD and occasionally SWORD has been in the lab, not in the field. Firefights and espionage are definitely outside of her comfort zone.

Near-Sighted:
Literally. She can't see without her glasses.

Poorly Socialized:
The combination of accelerated education, homeschooling, and a socially reinforced outsider status a girl who was both scientifically gifted girl and queer made puberty a hellishly confusing experience. She is not socially savvy, and occasionally misses obvious social cues. And she knows this about herself, which can make her anxious to putting herself out there. She does not make friends easily, but those she has made, she cherishes.

Title	Date	Scene Summary
CERN Concerns	October 1st, 2022	No description
Renovations Suck	July 26th, 2022	Ava and Finley escape renovation hell for dinner at a pub and end up booking a trip to France.
Ellistarr	May 5th, 2022	Ava gives Finley the surprise of her life -- partly as an apology for their fight. It's more than Finley ever dreamed.
Waking Up Is Hard To Do	April 15th, 2022	Waking up after collapsing from exhaustion in the wake of the destruction of the Slime Planet in Darkspace turns out to be a bit of a battle for Ava. Finley has *Opinions* about all that, which she needs to express.
SWORD: That's no moon	March 26th, 2022	SWORD takes their shiny new quinjet out in to deep space to find the source of the acid cube invasion - and boy do they find it. Thanks to cosmic and quantum energies, they are able to put an end to the continued threat.
Building Plans	March 19th, 2022	Finley comes in to find Ava redesigning the warehouse. She has a few ideas of her own to share.
SWORD: The acidic sky is falling	February 26th, 2022	An Alien autopsy, SWORD arrives and takes up space in Ava and Finley's home while they research the threat and make plans on how to tackle it. It's far worse than they first realised.
Finally Home	February 9th, 2022	Ava finally gets Finley back home. They decide to order in Chinese and settle in at home properly.
After Curfew	January 9th, 2022	Ava and Finley steal away to the gardens outside the Triskelion in the middle of the night for a bit of fresh air, a bit of bonding, and a bit of chat.
Checking In On The Patient	December 27th, 2021	Fin and Ava cause a stir in medbay when Ava's power of invisibility accidentally causes the staff to 'misplace' Finley. Carol comes to check in on them and, once everything settles down, teaches Finley a nifty new nanite trick.
The Miracle of Home	December 22nd, 2021	Awake, Finley seeks answers and comfort from Ava, while her body still adjusts to the nanites flooding her system.
Awakening from Mechanical Dreams	December 3rd, 2021	Jemma and Ava are on hand when Finley finally awakens from her nanite-induced coma. Although there are lots of questions to be answered, most of them will wait until later. The important thing? Fin's unlikely to end up like Yv'Kar. Not with SHIELD's finest on the case.
Ghost and the Machine	November 14th, 2021	Darcy turns up during Ava's vigil over Finley's comatose form to offer her expertise. This forces Ava to actually experiment with the q-bands matter-conversion capabilities. She has no idea if it actually worked... yet.
Catch a Falling Star	November 10th, 2021	Ava brings Finley to the Triskelion for help. Peggy gives what help she can. In the end, though, it's a waiting game.
The Search for Yv'Kar	November 7th, 2021	Carol accompanies Finley and Ava to meet Yv'Kar. Unfortunately, all they discover is a bloody corpse, a shattered containment unit, and a swarm of quantum powered nanites that seem to prefer vanilla human to suped up cosmic energy wielding metahumans. Poor Finley.
Hunting on Hala	October 11th, 2021	Ava, Finley, and Carol go to find the scientist Yv'Kar. Unfortunately, he's dead. But what they find in his lab will change one of their lives... forever.
Regarging the Quantum Batteries	October 6th, 2021	After the narrow escape from the Kree border patrol, Ava gives Finley her data pendant and makes sure the engineer is in one piece, unharmed in the fight. It helps her sleep better so she can recharge.
Hello Hala	October 3rd, 2021	The Guardians enter Kree space in an effort to get Ava and Finley to Hala. Unfortunately, the Kree border patrol don't take kindly to the Milano's presence and stubbornly fire upon the ship -- despite the number of reassurances Peter Solo gives them. Turns out, giving a Ghost a quantum energy boost can be really beneficial when you're trying not to get shot. Who knew?
Take a Deep Breath	October 2nd, 2021	As Ava struggles some with the nature of their close quarters on the ship, Finley tries to understand the nature of Ava's abilities more thoroughly. In the end, they decide they both need more practice -- on the battlefield and off. OOC WARNING: Some personal intimacy involved.
More Quantum Bling	September 16th, 2021	Finley surprises Ava with a gift to make understanding her powers easier. In return, Ava shows Finley a little of what she's learned on her own.

Halfworld and the Truth about Rocket	August 29th, 2021	The Guardians arrive at Halfworld, where they not only find out there are others like the injured Rocket, they also learn an unexpected truth about him and the planet itself. Of course there's a mission involved.
Ebb and Flow	August 29th, 2021	Fin and Ava retreat to a private corner, where Fin discovers more about Ava's past and just why she is the way she is.
Energy in Flux	August 28th, 2021	Ava and Finley begin to experiment with the q-bands, only to be interrupted by Nebula. They discuss the nature of energy in the universe, which doesn't solve anyone's problem.
2,000 Light Years From Home	August 26th, 2021	Finley tries to reassure Ava everything will work out okay, despite Phyla-Vell's death and all the other craziness they've gotten roped into since they left Earth. Together, they discover the q-bands do have one advantage... Ava doesn't have to work nearly so hard to remain tangible.
Halfway to Halfworld	August 24th, 2021	In the wake of their pyrrhic victory over Thanos -- they did rescue Nebula, after all -- the Guardians and most of their passengers try to come to terms with all the changes wrought... all the while ignoring the sanest voice among them. (Who, frighteningly, may actually be Mantis.) Nevertheless, cheaters to the last, they are still apparently committed to taking out Thanos moving forward. After Rocket is fixed. Until then... well... that's anybody's guess.
Halfworld and the Truth about Rocket, Part 2	August 23rd, 2021	The Guardians and Friends see that Rocket is going to make it, then they deal with a little robot problem deep within the prison asylum of Halfworld. At least it's not a very difficult win, which some of them probably needed after recent events.
Milano Tales: Meet the Ghost and SWORD	August 11th, 2021	Meet two of the new Milano regulars
Meeting of the Engineering Minds	August 3rd, 2021	Vance and Finley poke at continuing to solve Ava's more longterm energy problems while Ghost, herself, works on sourcing some important equipment that has a much greater priority to her.
Breaking Down the Process	August 1st, 2021	Ava brings Finley up to speed on her encounter with Phyla. The engineer assures her they'll stick together and make sure little green men posing as space scientists don't get too pokey.
A falling Quantum Star	July 28th, 2021	Phyla-Vell arrives on Earth and is found by Ava and Finley, seeking out her strange quantum signature. May be she can help save Ava before it's too late. Phyla though, is looking for her mother Mar-Vell. She'll be surprised whens he meets Captain Marvel that's for sure.
Quantum State	July 11th, 2021	Ava and Finley figure out what their next step is in building a machine to help Ava. Then, it's off to the bar.
Home, Sweet Quantum Chamber	June 20th, 2021	Finley escorts Ava back to her apartment, where she discovers the breadth of Ava's research and the depth of her mistrust. The moorings for bridges are built.
