Basic Character Information

---

Starting Bonus: Can't Touch This swapped for: Super Rookie | [Starting Bonus Roll]

First Name: Fran
Middle Name/Initial: Drevil
Last Name: Papillon
Epithet: "Frenzy Eyes"
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Faction: Bounty Hunter
Profession:
Sniper: Having been disabled for a major part of her life, Fran has been forced to rely heavily on other possible means to earn her money and owing to her particular upbringing, this has unfortunately led down a thorny path. Thankfully, Fran possesses beyond impeccable vision and is even unobstructed by matters such as darkness and mist. Her unbelievable eyesight has led her to become a sniper that is considered unmatched in her field by some and her accurate shots serve her no less discredit.

Spy: Making full use of her circumstances, Fran is capable of posing as an innocent and virtually harmless girl. Fran can easily work her way into the heart of organisations using her mostly harmless demeans and as her wheelchair possesses a few nifty tricks of its own (capable of holding her limited armoury of guns), Fran is normally in a far more secure position than her opponents are led to believe.

Singer/Pipa Player: Fran isn't just all about combat, she has her fair share of cultural expertise too. A protege player of the pipa, Fran is capable of charming and beguiling her listeners with a few plucks of the strings and if that wasn't enough, the tipping point is her singing voice. Though Fran has little interest in having her voice heard, she will intermittently make small exceptions to sing.

Physical Appearance

---

Height: If she were to stand (which is impossible without external support), Fran is around about 176cm
Weight: 63kg

Hair Style: Fran's hair is incredibly thick and tends to tangle easily. However, she has little care for her own outer appearance and will often provide her hair with limited attention. As such, her hair is often left as it is when she wakes up: messy, unkempt and falling in loose curls. She additionally has very long bangs that obscure her face, with the exception of when she is sniping. Her hair falls incredibly long too, largely because she finds hair treatment a terrible bore and hasn't cut it since she was 10.
Hair Color: Black with tones of indigo
Eye Color: Crimson with ringed pupils
Scars: All her scars are invisible to the naked eye
Clothing and Accessories: Fran normally dresses very warmly due to her fear of the cold. Her favourite possession is a white robe with beautiful silver butterflies embroidered around the hem and massive billowing sleeves that envelope her hands. Fran rarely feels the heat and is capable of bundling up even in the midst of the warm and humid seasons. However, during these times, she will often leave her robe draped over her shoulders, allowing more air to ventilate through its folds. During the colder seasons, Fran will go all-out with the jumpers, parkers, scarfs, ear muffs, beanies and even heated blankets. The last and most notable of her accessories is her wheelchair, which she is always present in as she would be incapable of moving without it. Fran exerts little energy in the movement of her wheelchair as it is electronically controlled and the compartment under her chair is spacious enough to accomodate the few artillery she has in her possession.

Description: Owing to her restricting conditions, Fran has limited means to stay in shape and she is therefore physically frail and weak. Slender by nature, Fran also has perpetual dark circles ringing her under eyes from her insomnia and ghostly pale skin. However, despite her insomnia, Fran's crimson eyes always shine with a level of ferocity that is far beyond what any normal or healthy being is normally capable of and it is these eyes that have granted her epithet, "Frenzy Eyes". These eyes also possess a ring that surrounds her pupil and the number of rings will increase as she becomes agitated, stressed or emotional. As the number of rings increases, her own mental stability will become erratic and often lead to one of her common bouts of hysteria. In this "frenzied" state, Fran's need for survival will take over all her senses and will lead to psychotic behaviour. However, despite such negative energy, it is highly possible that if given the chance to recuperate her mental affliction and if she were to put more attention into her physical presentation, Fran could actually be quite beautiful in her own right. Underneath the deathly aura and decrepit state, there is potential for elegance to captivate those with a more attentive eye.

Personality: Asides from being physically disabled, Fran has a whole list of issues that often lead to an unstable mentality. However, despite all this, Fran has an undeniable and ever-growing urge to live. She has an iron will that is unmovable even in the worst of circumstances and she is prepared to sacrifice almost anything in order to assure her own survival. Although her mental complications often lead to bouts of hysteria, feelings of self-degradation and lack of self-worth, Fran has never once given up her will to live. Her mind is often wrought with irrationality, paranoia and she can become absent-minded and dull at times. However, when faced with a situation where her life is at risk, she always snaps out of it. If anything, she relies on these instances where blood taints the air and adrenaline pumps through her body, because it's during these times when she feels most alive. Almost as though she needs proof to ensure that she is indeed a living and breathing person, Fran seeks blood with the sort of desperation only the dying possess. She despises and fears the idea that one day she may no longer be able to move at her own will and it is this fear that drives every fibre in her body to survive. Fran also discovers that she finds solace in money. To her, the money she receives from her jobs is a form of recognition, but at times her feelings are mixed. On the one hand, money is tangible proof that she is acknowledged and even needed, to a certain extent. However, deep in her heart, she knows that this is not the recognition she so desperately seeks, but as she still has no understanding of what true success is, she continues to pursue money, blood and work with an almost mindless and soul-crushing attitude.

However, depression and mental instability isn't all that Fran has to offer and she doesn't spend every day of her week consumed in hunting and quenching blood lust. Fran appreciates many things, but the majority of these things are shared by those of the elderly folk. For example, she favours peaceful villages, drinking tea and hot springs, where she can finally be as warm as she would wish to always be. She is no stranger to drinking alcohol, but she is always mindful that she doesn't abuse her consumption enough to become intoxicated, though during the few times when she is, she acts like an actual old man, even with perverted inclinations. Furthermore, Fran is a talented pipa player and she possesses a particular fondness for traditional music in general. She even carries this into literature, enjoying classical tales in folklore, mythology and even fairy tales. Fran can act very elderly at times too (not just when she's drunk), lacking a basic understanding of popular culture, and can at times find teenage slang and fashionable trends baffling. Although she doesn't eat much herself, Fran likes to ensure that those she cares about are well fed and tends to cook more than necessary when she is in the company of others. Surprisingly, Fran is an adept cook and she even enjoys knitting and embroidery when given the time (she isn't very good at it, but she can't get enough of making blankets). Knitting and making blankets is almost like a mental outlet for her, a means to distract her from the ghosts in her mind. Perhaps this is why her blankets always come out awful, because her mind is always a tangled mess (much like the outcome of her blankets), but she always seems most happy during her silent knitting activities or when she is playing the pipa (which, thankfully, she has much, much better successes in). She can get fairly proud of her completed works, even if they often resemble something like a disfigured stuffed toy (but don't tell her that, let her have her moment), and will try giving them away to those she finds tolerable as gifts of appreciation. Do keep in mind that Fran isn't much of a talker and so many of these scenarios tend to start with her pushing a weirdly-shaped blanket into someone's face until ultimately, they have no choice but to accept, albeit with a lot of confusion.
