[b]Name:[/b] Frank "Frankie" N. Stein II
[b]Alias:[/b] Love Craft
[b]Age:[/b] 15
[b]Alignment:[/b] Villain
[b]Loyalty:[/b] Local Villain Team
[b]Appearance:[/b] Though Frankie changes faces and bodies often, they still have a prefered "public" form. Messy but fairly sensible dark brown hair, constantly windswept but stylish. His features are fairly average, if a bit round, the only thing standing out about his face being his red eyes. Oddly, his skin is not abnormally pale, leading most to thinking he wears contacts. He has a lean, not particularly muscular or fat build, though definitely taller than average. Finally, for an outfit, they wear a lab coat, as well as what they call a "straight sweater", basically a full body straight jacket remade to be comfortable and allow movement and mobility.

Frankie is much different on the job or around the base. White, long, flowing hair lightly gathered together in a bow frames their sharp, gaunt features. Further punctuating the "scary but beautiful" look is their bright red eyes, accented with slight eyeshadow. They look quite skinny and short for their age, almost girlish. This is further emphasized by their provocative clothing. A short leather jacket, bandages around the chest seemingly to bind the breasts, and short shorts with chaps.


[b]History:[/b] Frankie never really knew their mother. All they truly knew was that a woman named May had sex with a man simply known as Doctor Stein. Stein was not expecting a child, but nevertheless was still appalled at May's thoughts of putting the child up for adoption, or worse, aborting them. May was in no position to bargain though, an ex-drug addict with no job, so for months, the two argued, both in possession of something the other wanted. Eventually, the child was born, and, the next time May threatened adoption, Stein pressed for child custody.

The courts miraculously awarded Stein custody, mostly because of May's previous offenses and Stein's lucrative job as a biologist working in league with the famous Willaim Manton, who had made a major breakthrough with his theory on what was called the Manton Effect, which Stein had helped with. About as soon as the court case was wrapped up though, Manton disappeared, leaving not much to his colleagues but the good name of being associated with the man named after one of the most important Parahuman theories. Luckily, Frankie was not without a home or anything. Even if there wasn't much research on Parahumans to be done after that, and he had been laid off, he was still the inheritor to a large sum of cash that his forefather had built up. With it, the two stayed afloat while Stein searched for a job.

Even at a young age, Frankie displayed great intelligence, particularly in relation to the sciences. Balancing this though, Frankie was quite odd. Very emotional and expressive, and didn't seem to gel well with the other kids. Stein decided to kill two birds with one stone, homeschooling his child with great tutors. While Frankie spent their time learning, Stein spent his time trying to find a job he genuinely enjoyed. His Biology PhD. allowed him a few positions, but nothing was as stimulating as research on parahumans to him. He even frequently showed Frankie his old discoveries, and they seemed to enjoy it as well. This pushed Stein to contact an old friend.

Stein managed to get a hold of Dr. Manton, asking him where he had gone, what he was doing now. Manton would reveal this to him, as long as he came to a certain location alone, and promised 100% to never reveal the information. Stein was a trustworthy man, never really lied that often, and so he accepted the deal. That's when he learned about Cauldron. Frankie was never given much info on the shadowy organization, but they apparently were making more parahumans, and this got Stein's mind pumping once again. Frankie's father began doing research once again, but after a while, was stopped, something about ethics Frankie was told. SAtein gave in, relenting to do his own research on the subject, but not before spending the family fortune on his kid's birthday present.

Frankie, on their 14th birthday, was finally taken to their father's workplace, something they had dreamed about ever since they had heard he was researching superheroes. Though the team seemed reluctant, ultimately they went through with it. Frankie was a success, able to mold their body in any shape or way they could imagine. With this, Stein and his progeny left, now searching for both funds, and a place to experiment.

[center][h3][b]Personality[/b][/h3][/center]
[b]Motivations:[/b] To help their father, and obtain lots of information regarding superheroes, particularly sharing their father's goal of finding another way of creating more Parahumans besides the Cauldron's vials.
[b]Sexuality:[/b] Pansexual
[b]Likes:[/b] [list][*]Their Father
[*]Their Power
[*]Sweets[/list]
[b]Dislikes:[/b] [list][*]Ethics
[*]Being left in the dark
[*]Authority figures[/list]
[b]Derangement:[/b] Frankie has become very... exaggerated. When they feel an emotion, they feel it hard, and their face morphs to a cartoonish version of said emotion in intense situation. Sad? Their face will physically droop. Happy? His eyes and smile will grow to unnatural proportions.

[center][h3][b]Parahumanism[/b][/h3][/center]
[b]Skills:[/b] Frankie is pretty smart, especially in the field of biology and parahuman studies. 

[b]Classification:[/b] Shifter/Brute/Stranger

[b]Details:[/b] Frankie has the ability to mold, manipulate, harden, and soften their own flesh, bone, muscle, and even some organs. Frankie can use this ability in many ways. They can mold their flesh into blades only a cell thick, or shields as hard as a hippo's skin, or anything between. The could also use this ability to impersonate another person, shifting their face, physique, and even vocal cords to mimic someone efficiently. They can even buff themselves up, giving themselves more muscle or reduce their size and increase their lean leg muscle for more speed. Though they're bound by conservation of mass, they can control their own regeneration, making producing more cells a cinch.

[b]Limitations:[/b][list]
[*]Disconnected cells retain none of their shape or hardness/softness upon leaving the body.
[*]Frankie can not manipulate their own heart or brain.
[*]When accelerating their regeneration, Frankie's metabolism skyrockets, with nutrition being a serious issue. They need calories to burn, after all.
[*]Frankie needs a close up of someone's face to replicate their face.

[b]Equipment:[/b] The only thing Frankie carries on their person besides a disposable phone are some high carb sweets.
