Other Characters: Tiera
Character Name: Franciscus Erkens
Canon: Pokemon OC (Cartesio+15 Strangers CRAU)
Canon History: (cw: mention of forced breeding of sapient creatures)
Originally, the heir to the prestigious Erkens family, whose secret talent was the ability to use the Pokemon move Pay Day. His parents were both members of the International Police, and he joined once he came of age. Almost immediately, the group he was part of ended up part of a scandal involving Legendary Pokemon being forced to produce eggs in an attempt to show that they were "just normal Pokemon." The group ended up having to raise some of the eggs, and Franciscus became the guardian of a Shaymin egg. He also ended up dating one of the other members of the group, Shaun Reely the scientist.
CRAU (Cartesio): And then he woke up in a town called Cartesio one day, led by the Sarge and told to get away with murder or fulfill an "assignment" to get out. For the longest time, he resisted the temptation, searching for other ways out, doing his best in the trial, and trying not to cause too much destruction in the Sarge's assignments. But when offered the chance to bring someone with him when he escaped, for the sake of the young magical girl Sakura, he decided to kill. But the simultaneous death of Millium, another young girl he'd been getting close to, rattled him, and eventually he broke down in court when confronting her murderer. He was executed, but found himself on the other side in the land of the dead, where he proceeded to do his best to investigate things there and transmit information to the other side. They found out eventually that all the people in this town were actually clones of their original selves, but despite the pain that came from this revelation, the living managed to face down the Sarge and escape to the real Cartesio.
CRAU (15 Strangers): After about two months in Cartesio, Franciscus found himself waking up in a strange new place again-this time a tiny coffin-like room in a musty medieval castle. With him was Osomatsu Matsuno, the one other person he knew from Cartesio, the one who'd executed him but at the same time a close friend, and even though their memories of each other were scrambled, they nonetheless clung to each other as the one familiar thing. The thought that either of them could die at any point eventually led to Franciscus confessing that he'd developed feelings for Osomatsu, who reciprocated. Unfortunately, in the third week, Franciscus was killed by Eric Lecarde, who impaled him through the heart while mistaking him for Dracula, and Franciscus similarly hallucinated Eric as Azura, his victim from Cartesio. He ended up in the land of the dead, where he remained through the end of that round and two more rounds of death games, before all the dead were finally revived together. He returned to Cartesio with Osomatsu, hoping desperately that they could just be together without anything else coming between them.
Canon Personality: Franciscus acts charming and friendly by nature, but tends to keep a sort of barrier between himself and others. He does genuinely want to get along with people, but more for the sake of convenience and manipulation. While not a bad person at heart, he used to find it hard to actually connect. Being through two murdergames has softened him up a lot, and he's much more willing to express his genuine emotions instead of acting unflappable and cool all the time. He's pretty much stopped flirting with almost anyone, now that he's got a boyfriend and no real need to seduce people for information.
Still, it takes going through a lot together for him to trust people more deeply, and only a few people have earned that level of trust. But once they have, they'll count for a lot, and he'd be willing to do almost anything for them, and deeply fear being hated by them. He's often haunted by the thought of the blood on his hands, especially since he found out he's a clone, and considers the accomplishments of his original to not actually be his own, meaning that the most significant thing he's actually done is murder someone. He does also have some trauma from his various deaths as well as being kidnapped twice.
AU History: In this world, the Erkens family were alchemists, using rituals to transmute dross into valuable elements. But the cost of the transmutation meant they only fell about even, so eventually they did turn to other more unethical magics. During one of their galas, when Franciscus was 18, someone opposed to the ecological destruction the family was committing somehow managed to open a Tear in the middle of the ballroom, destabilizing the place. Most people fled, but Franciscus slipped while shoving someone else out of the exit and found himself falling into the Spirit Realm. He nearly died, but a capricious nature spirit saved his life, telling him to dedicate his life to undoing his family's harm.
Eventually, a year later, he stumbled back out of the Spirit Realm, somehow managing to land close to where his family home was. However, he had changed so much that his parents didn't trust that he was actually their son, and part of his contract price was also that he couldn't touch iron or enter a dwelling without an invitation. Believing that he was a changeling, his parents chased him away, leaving him with only the clothes on his back. He was left to wander across the country, occasionally hitchhiking and making money however he could, until he stumbled into Kaisou recently. For now, he's sleeping in the park until he figures out how to rent an apartment.
AU Personality Differences: JESUS CHRIST he's so much more traumatized. Why did I do this to my boy. He didn't really get to know anyone before he fell into the spirit realm, so by now his contracted spirit is pretty much his only friend. He's still a good person at heart, it's just that he hasn't had much of a chance to show it. Despite everything, he still tries to hold up a cool, confident mask when in public, but it slips much more often.
Element: Earth
Purchased Powers: Medium level plant manipulation (3 points)
Possession: Franciscus is possessed by a nature sprite and cannot touch iron or enter a dwelling without an invitation. (Being asked to fix his family's harms technically isn't the contract price, so much as something the sprite wants separately. They also realize that's kind of hard for him to do, and they are kinda fond of him by now and realize it's partly their fault, so they hardly bring it up anymore.)
