Here is my code:
package basic;
public abstract class Entity {
}
package characters;
import basic.Entity;
public abstract class Character extends Entity {
}
package player;
public class Player extends Character {
}
I am getting the "the type player cannot subclass the final class Character" but I checked a million times and I am yet to use final all but ONCE in my project. What gives?

You are extending java.lang.Character (which does not need an import, as it comes from java.lang).
Insert import characters.Character into your Player code.
Reference: using package members:
For convenience, the Java compiler automatically imports two entire packages for each source file: (1) the java.lang package and (2) the current package (the package for the current file).

Character is a class of java.lang (the wrapper class of "char").
you have to import characters.Character in your Player class
package player;
import characters.Character
public class Player extends Character {
}

Character is a final class as defined in Java Docs:
public final class Character
extends Object
implements Serializable, Comparable<Character>
so it cannot be sub-classed.
You are getting error from this Character class, which is being implicitly imported. Beware!.

In this case, I strongly recommend using the fully qualified name of the Character class in the extends clause.
public class Player extends characters.Character {}
Experienced Java developers know that java.lang.Character is final and thus can't be extended. By writing class Player extends Character, you would probably make them nonplussed.
