[b]Physical Appearance:[/b]
[INDENT]It's obvious that at 5'11, Francis is of a stockier build and if it weren't for the training and physical exhertion that he undergoes as part of his role in the MISW he'd probably have a little more fat on him. When the opportunity arises, Frank keeps his hair trimmed down to a number two haircut and is equally clean-shaven, tolerating little further than stubble along his jawline (though this is more due to the fact it itches if he lets it get any further).[/INDENT] 
[b]Attire:[/b] 
[INDENT]On account of the exchange program between DOVE and the MISW, Frank whilst on-duty wears the standard DOVE garb and carries, more or less, the same equipment as the others - albeit with a (non-metallic) telescopic baton fixated to his hip.

Whilst off-duty, Frank sticks to casual clothes while out on the town - he's brought from home several pairs of jeans, cargo trousers, shorts and tracksuit bottoms along with enough shirts and t-shirts to last him during the week. He also has a dark-blue zip-up hoodie which he sometimes wears on the colder days, too.[/INDENT]

[h3][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/h3]

[b]Innate & Outward Personality:[/b]
[INDENT]


Outwardly, Frank conveys himself as a man who can be stubborn to a fault, rendering himself implacable in the face of adversity - as one might expect, for a Brit. When things turn rough, he cracks the occasional joke and will even render a morbid commentary on the matter (a habit picked up from the 'old' MISW days) but still persist in what he perceives as his duty. As far as others are concerned, his actions are done with the best intentions, aiming towards the right thing. 

Inwardly, however,  Frank is still coming to terms with the knowledge and awareness that the organisation that trained and shaped him for have served as a puppet for the Founding Family and is wrought with  guilt at the knowledge that he was an unknowing participant in their schemes and had sought to atone. Self-doubt often plagues him and there are times where he'll question his own actions, even if he might outwardly stand by his convictions. 

Despite this, he still feels a debt of sorts to the MISW (which helped him gain control over his ability and gave him place) and has taken it upon his own shoulders to try and assist in its reform - hoping perhaps that the visit to the US might assist in gaining an alternative perspective for this purpose.

Owing to the above, he despises the likes of the Founding Family and given the opportunity would gladly assist in bringing an end to anyone with similar goals or an affiliation to the world spanning cabal. Alternatively, he can be a loyal friend to those who earn his trust (and respect) and will go to great lengths to look out for them. It's just a matter of gaining the former.

On an additional note, a part of Frank's training with the MISW focused on the use of his ability to somewhat manipulative degrees and even after the reform of the organisation, he still finds himself reverting back to old habits, if only momentarily. Likewise, there are times where he'll find himself tempted to use a heavier-handed approach in accordance with the 'old' MISW's ever-suspicious modus operandi, even though he'll realise shortly after and feel guilt over it.

[b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b]
[INDENT]Frank is a self-proclaimed conniseur of what he regards as good food. Part of his plans for his long-term stay in Baybridge is to take advantage of the relatively lower prices and varied tastes of American food.[/INDENT]
[b]Skills/Talents:[/b] 
[INDENT]Several years of training and experience with the MISW have left Frank with a number of skills in terms of aptitude in the fiels. He's capable of using physical force to subdue and restrain unwilling opponents and he knows how to handle firearms, though his experience with the use of the latter in the field is another matter given the UK's strict attitude concerning firearms.

This aside, Frank has undergone the usual intelligence side of the MISW's training, including a study of metahumans  and (legal) methods of interrogation, using his own ability to assist in the case of the latter.[/INDENT]

[b]Goals/Motivation[/b]
[INDENT]Trained and shaped by the MISW, Frank is still coming to terms with the knowledge that the organisation largely served as a puppet for the Founding Famly and is wrought with guilt at the knowledge that he was an unknowing participant in their schemes. More than anything, he wants to restore the good name of the organisation (and his country) and bring closure to himself by working alongside DOVE and RAVEN.[/INDENT]

[b]History/Bio:[/b]
[INDENT]Born at the edge of the last millenium, Frank spent the early years of his life as the son of two divorcee parents growing up in North Derbyshire, one with an appreciation for the simpler things in life - video games, TV series and browsing the recesses of the internet. Only, around the time of his fourteenth birthday, something birthday, something changed in him.

He found himself suffering from intense mood swings, where one moment he could be ecstatic and then the next he would feel intense rage and want to lash out at the nearest person, only to burst into laughter a few seconds later. This went about as well for him as one would expect - most thought he was suffering from a psychological disorder and indeed he found himself being sent on a number of visits to different professionals, all claiming that they would be able to help him and all failing, for the most part.

Medication proved ineffective and only seemed to worsen his mental outlook, to the point that he became reclusive - avoiding human contact seemed to be the only remedy for his troubles. This continued until after his sixteenth birthday, when during a visit to the shops after suffering yet another violent mood swing, he found his unexplainable rage quelled by the sight of other shoppers around him bursting into tears and lashing out at one another until the scene evolved into a riot. It was only after a later analysis of CCTV footage covering the riot that an agent of the MISW picked up on Frank's behaviour minutes before the riot and made the call to follow up their investigation with a visit to Frank's address.

Things cascaded from there - a brief interrogation and a swab test proved that Frank was, indeed, a Metahuman. A potentially disastrous ine at that - his ability allowed him to influence the emotions and mental states of others around him. As per the modus operandi of the organisation in those times, Frank was taken under the MISW's wing (the alternative was a collar and being kept under close surveillance) and, following several years of study at a school operated by the government with similar intentions as the academy program, he began training to become an agent, a process which again took several years to complete.

All in all, it was the MISW who helped Frank pull himself back together, leaving him feeling indebted towards the organisation and for years he worked under the impression that he was doing the right thing - that no matter how rough things could be, he was doing he right thing for the betterment of society.

This perception, however, was shattered following the revelation of the existence of the Founding Family and the scale of their involvement in the world's affairs, Britain and the MISW included. Frank was forced to question the values and code that he'd abided by during his time in the organisation, including circumstances in which he'd taken a heavier-handed response.

This, combined with the emergence of the so-called 'BASILISK' domestic terrorist organisation, shook the MISW to its core as British politics were reshaped around them. Facing new threats, and as a figure in favour of reform within the agency, Frank volunteered and was approved for a placement on a foreign exchange program with the United States with the intention of studying the methods and procedures of DOVE and RAVEN.[/INDENT] 

[h3][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/h3]

[b]Family:[/b] 
Terrence Marshall (Father)
[INDENT]Frank's father, the two don't meet often owing to his work in the MISW but maintain a loose correspondence over the phone. Owing to certain similarities in their personalities, they often tend to clash when disagreeing on matters so this distance is for the best.[/INDENT]

Sue Knight (Mother)
[INDENT]Frank's mother, working for the MISW has meant the two don't meet often but he does keep in touch on a more regular basis than with his father and, before being taken in by the organisation, the two were quite close.[/INDENT]

[b]Dynamics:[/b]
[INDENT]TBD.[/indent]

[h3][b][u]Abilities[/u][/b][/h3]

[b]Power Class:[/b]
[INDENT]Cerebral - Domination[/INDENT] 
[b]Power:[/b] 
[INDENT]In short, Frank can perceive and influence the emotions and state of mind of others around him. This can range from something as simple as picking up on someone who may give off an outward appearance of being calm and collected, but may secretly be terrified, to something as complex as shifting an agitated, violent individual's emotional state to something calmer to prevent them from lashing out. There's a very specific nuance to it, hoever: Frank isn't a jedi  - he can't directly implant specific ideas into someone's head, but through his abilities he could instill thoughts of self-doubt into a person if he needed to, for example.[/INDENT]
[b]Limits:[/b]
[INDENT]Frank's ability can only effect those within close proximity to him, around twenty metres at most. Futhermore, those with the sufficient willpower (or abilities, in the case of other metahumans) to resist his emotional influence can do so. Being aware that Frank is trying to influence them can help as well. Furthermore, using his ability requires a degree of concrentration in order for it to function correctly.[/INDENT]
[b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] 
[INDENT]Frank's ability is a two-way street - whilst he can influence and shift the mood and emotional outlook of those around him, he in turn can suffer from what has been deemed in the cerebral field of study the 'bleeding effect', where he himself is vulnerable to becoming swayed by the emotions and thoughts of others around him by making use of his abilities. At best, it can be distracting but at worse, it can be an emotionally crippling experience - one would be dangerous in his line of work. It's taken a great deal of training and focus to bring the worst of it under wraps, but even now it's something which lingers overhead.[/INDENT]
