Appearance: Dark-haired, hazel-eyed and pale-skinned, Franzi looks more like a portrait of a person than a real, living thing. Her features aren’t perfect- her eyes are a bit small and her nose is too tiny for the rest of her face- but she’s put together in such a way that those little inconsistencies make her even more attractive. Her full lips are always painted blood red and her thick, curly, dark brown hair hasn’t seen a hairbrush in years. Takes out all the volume, don’t you know~

Franzi is short but suited for it. She insists she’s all ass and nothing else, but her slender legs and tapered belly just make her ass, which few men have ever found fault with, stand out. Perfectly proportioned and plump in all the right places, the girl could give a man whiplash just by walking by. Her gaudy attire (bright, patterned and sometimes not even present) can overpower her curvy figure. She’s fond of jewelry and has been known to wear the precious gems her captain has stolen. On the airship, she’s notorious for walking around in a constant state of undress- usually just her underwear, a shirt and socks.

Upon closer inspection, however, Franzi is missing a few things. The ring and pinky finger of her left hand are gone, replaced by some steel prosthetics. Her right ear has been reduced to only a lobe, but one she still sticks an earring or two through. Various battle-scars and gunshots dot her body and she wears them with pride, highlighting them with skimpy clothing. Take off her work boots and, well, you can count all her toes on one hand.

Personality: Like many people drawn to piracy, being free is incredibly important to Franzi. Feeling obligations to family, friends and a home makes her incredibly nervous, so it’s lucky she really doesn’t have any of those! Extremely outgoing, though not necessarily extroverted, Franzi knows a lot of people but keeps them at a distance. Few people have ever gotten to know the “real” her, something Franzi isn’t sure even exists. But, at thirty, the idea doesn’t bother her so much, she just accepts that maybe she’s an empty human being and keeps doing whatever feels right.

She is very loud and talkative and can hold a secret about as well as a colander holds water. Brash and charismatic, it’s hard for most people to overlook her entirely and harder still to hold her in a high opinion. She has little to no shame and will do just about anything anyone asks of her, so long as she feels like it. As a mechanic, she’s fond of experimentation and whatever gets the job done is fine in her book. This approach has led to some set-backs (exploded ships, crushed limbs, civilian casualties…), but it’s also yielded some interesting results. Since she was a child, Franzi has been one of those people who likes to destroy whatever she can get her hands on in the hopes of rebuilding it better than it was.

Franzi attaches herself to odd people and there is no pattern to her affections. She’s equally capricious when it comes to hate and can love someone one evening and loathe them the next morning for no apparent reason. It makes her a hard person to put up with in close quarters. It’s lucky, then, that she spends most her time on the airship working or sleeping or padding around, quietly hungover.
Personality Keywords: Self-indulgent, uninhibited, foul-mouthed, confident, flexible, disorderly, excessive, unbalanced, charismatic, vindictive, quick-witted, talkative, fickle, inquisitive, whiny, vain, cynical, lazy.

History: Born in Druze to a lower-middle class Dalmascan family, Franzi grew up in a hectic home filled to the brim with rambunctious children. At last tally, she had eleven brothers and sisters (how did her mother do it?), and was rumored to be half-Rozarrian on account of how often her father knocked her mother up. Food was scarce and peace was scarcer still, but at least none of the children were ever lonely. They all taught one another odd things they’d learned around the city, so while Franzi is a far cry from educated, she’s got a wealth of practical (useless) knowledge at her disposal.

At age 12, Franzi stowed away on a ship bound for the moogle city Goug and lived off mealy food and washroom water for a month. By the time she stumbled out, unaware of where she was and starting to feel like her “I’LL SEE THE WORLD PLAN” was more than a little half-baked, Franzi was in dire need of medical care. Some charitable moogles took her in and set her on the mend and she eventually became a part of their family. She lived with them, learning to work machines and weapons, until she and her ‘brother’, Figg, caught jobs on a sky pirate’s ship and left Goug for good.

Though she encountered some hardships (looking like she did on ships filled primarily with men…) Franzi enjoyed a life of piracy. She soon learned that she didn’t have much of a conscience to speak of and didn’t mind fucking over her fellow man in order to get ahead. Figg, however, as crass and dependent on alcohol as she was, never left her side. At twenty-three, she managed to buy (steal?) a ship of her own, The Carbuncle. She liked the name, but most people didn’t think of it as a ruby so much as a big, red boil. Franzi and her small crew became somewhat of a laughing stock and people swore her eccentricity was due to a particularly bad case of syphilis. Truth be told, Franzi wasn’t too upset when The Carbuncle eventually suffered engine failure and crashed into the side of a building in Archades. Sure, she lost a few toes and a few friends, but at least that name wasn’t hung around her neck anymore. Since then, she’s been working with Figg as a mechanic on The Lady Luck, a sky pirate vessel known for its atypical and particularly amoral crew.

Skills: Spatial reasoning, solving puzzles, jimmy-rigging engineering solutions, stealing things, distracting people, holding her drink.
Strengths: She’s incredibly sexy until you get to know her, she can come up with a temporary solution for just about any malfunction on an airship, she can defend herself if she’s got her chain or a painful pair of heels ready, knows who she is, good at talking to people and has an immunity to shame.
Weaknesses: Loud/foul-mouthed, incredibly immodest, impractical when it comes to anything other than engineering, nosy, physically weak, alcoholic, volatile temper, greedy, unable to feel emotionally connected to just about everyone and as a result she‘s incredibly lonely.

Other:

So when I try to deceive won’t you believe,
