Francis "Frank" Archer

Status: Inactive
System: Rifts

Frank was a character I had made up on a whim. When I ended up losing interest in playing my Crazy, Reed, after his cylinders were removed, I decided to give Frank a go.

Frank ended up having a lot in common with Ash - most notably, both were assholes, after a fashion. I got Frank involved in a vampire-hunting game, which strained his beliefs due to the presense of D-Bees in the group. This game was rebooted, and rather than bringing in Frank I made another character to take his place.
