The range of this is about 15-19 metres. It was used with the abilities to maintain control of his weapon whilst using it on field, unlike previous FBI Operators' gadgets. There are some drawbacks to its design, however, as accuracy can sometimes fall short if on the move. In static positions, its quality is at its best and resists any fuzziness. On the move, especially at faster paces, a strong interference and smudge of pixels across his vision. Therefore, its use is best ceased during times of rest, preparations for breaching and analysis of reconnaissance. Another drawback is its slight delay between each impulse. There is approximately 1 to 3 seconds in between each pulse when in use, which can be slightly altered by a small dial located on the left flank of the device. On top of that, it does not consistently track the position of an individual, and only shows their location when they collided with the impulse, meaning fast movement from scanned adversaries can cause disillusion and nausea.[/color] [url=https://fontmeme.com/futuristic-fonts/][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/180606/bc437b1c02f85fef6593bff5bcafa43e.png[/img][/url] [color=Maroon][b]Appearance[/b][/color] [hider=Civilian Wear][img]https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZUAtPfDHAGk/maxresdefault.jpg[/img][/hider] [hider=Operations Attire][img]http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/splintercell/images/c/c9/Eclipse.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20130526180155[/img] [/hider] [color=Maroon][b]Psychological Profile[/b][/color] [color=Silver]Frankie is known for being an introvert at heart. Being very focal on his education and training, he finds it difficult to adjust to simple off-leading tasks, such as downtime. It leaves for a tendency to occupy himself with gadget tinkering, offering chances for other Operators to use his services in repairing and advising equipment usage. Whilst serving as both a technological designer on the sidelines to adjust to his ease-of-boredom, he can find comfort in socialising with other operators through this occupation. When it changes to a combat situation, he becomes a focused mastermind, having an ability to quickly judge his actions and plan adjustments when operations change due to complications. However, excessive force can sometimes be enough to break his focus, leading to mistakes in his work and performance. Frankie has a tendency, as noted by Mike Baker, to grow serious attachments to Operators he gets along well with or finds certain eccentrics in their appearance. For instance, prior to the disaster at Bellagio Hotel, the technological serviceman found extensive worry for Yumiko and Maxim, two operators who's equipment had a track record of malfunctioning in certain conditions. He felt worried that these two, who'd grown close friends and allies with him, would end up being killed by their own devices and spent too many sleepless nights trying to recover these issues and fix what he thought was a spanner in the works. Since he has only had few deployments into the field as a Rainbow Six operator, it is unknown to what extent he may become protective of those around him. Further analysis is required, as Baker has ordered. However, previous missions have shown he is driven to complete an objective that can turn the tides of the campaign, as well as amend the tragedies previously suffered. It is worth noting that Frankie heavily looked up towards Ryad 'Jackal' Ramírez Al-Hassar, who shared a similar interest in tactics in tracking down oppositions in the field with heavy detail. During his free time, Frankie has been spotted doing several creative things, such as drawing plans or imagining outlandish designs that couldn't possibly be achieved. Whether it was sitting on a sofa at his private dorm in their headquarters, whilst his comrades had celebrated and shared their happiness at the success of certain grand victories over drinks, or whilst he was simply supposed to be asleep. If he wasn't occupied, having spent a lot of time attending those who needed maintenance, there were chances of him simply sitting down, talking to whoever was in his interests and keeping the peace. Sometimes he'd even force Jordan to whip him up a sweetened Hot Chocolate imported from America...[/color] [hider=Relationships][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/180607/d325765fa9981c705b037b7e9b56bf94.png[/img] [color=Silver][b]Jessica DuPont[/b] [i]Jessica was originally underneath Franklin's command, and she still technically is, however he was soon to bridge that gab between them and try to form a friendship with her. It turns out the two share quite a decent amount of personality traits that Franklin finds appreciative. Since they are now in the Field of Operations, a switch in jobs that had initially put a lot of pressure upon Franklin, he wishes to grow as close to Jessica as he can for camaraderie and reasons only he likes to know.[/i][/color] [/hider] [url=https://fontmeme.com/futuristic-fonts/][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/180606/bc437b1c02f85fef6593bff5bcafa43e.png[/img][/url] [color=Maroon][b]Biography[/b][/color] [color=Silver]Frankie was born in Glasgow, along with his regular middle-classed family, on April 14th 1984, and followed onwards throughout an ordinary life. He was quick to pick up an interest in the forever changing world of technology, science and quirky gadgets that were spiking up in the approaching millennia. Every year, he'd read or hear about a new invention that a foreign or local mastermind had developed over the course of many days, weeks, months or years. It excited him, giving him a set goal for where he wanted to end up in life. It was something his parents approved of, as having a younger child with an early lust for success made for a productive and less stressful parenthood. Frankie moved through school, going through his education during the 1990's in the GCSE system, eventually expanding into the main subjects he'd chosen. With this, he also developed a natural ambition of physical activity, attending many leisurely clubs to feed both hobby and ideal. By the time he'd left his education beyond the GCSEs, passing with a very plausible grading tally, Frankie was ready to attend University, but found difficulties in handling the cost and distance issues in regarding to the one that'd benefit his own needs. After a few months of panic trying to sort out a place in his life, he found comfort when watching a presentation of the Armed Forces Officer programmes. He had the qualifications desired by the Queen's regiments and eventually signed up for the Royal Marines, looking towards taking the Technological Officer's path in order to both show patriotism and further his education in tech-advancements. He trained here for a good few years, eventually granting himself a name amongst some of the Nation's regiments for his involvement in many peaceful and war-based pieces of equipment, used both locally and globally. And as his life continued, it reached 2013, where he was approached by someone new. More specifically, he began to portray a strong and steady-going achievement in communications equipment and was, though denied, offered places in British development offices further behind lines. However, he denied them several times as he continued to support his fellow soldiers directly. Within his platoon, he became quite appreciated by those beneath his command and would occasionally act informal to his rank's specification just to appeal to his friends and allies. Years went by as he served his longest years in the Royal Marines, where he saw his fair share of fighting, conflict, anti-terrorism campaigns and experiences in experimental equipment the further they approached the modern age. An American individual, under the alias of [i]Six[/i], accompanied by high-ranking Officials from the Special Air Service, offered him a chance to be a part of a new organisation. She, of course, was referring to Team Rainbow. [i]Six[/i] described their uses in Counter-Terrorism, being more active than the standard National Militarist organisations that were dotted around the world. They wanted him on the development team as the key figure to Operator Gadget Maintenance and Development in Offensive and Communicative Gear, or the Rainbow G.M.D. as they referred him to. The only catch to the agreement was that he would have to undergo further training with the Special Air Service, leaving the Royal Marines, as a reserve Operator within Team Rainbow if the time needed it. And with the promise of some of the finest tech advancements around, he accepted. Being approached a year before their activation, he became one of the first members of Team Rainbow since its dismissal, undergoing most of his service training within the SAS ranks. Because of his connections with both Team Rainbow and now the SAS, he soon was introduced to and befriended the four notorious Operators, Mike Baker, Seamus Cowden, Mark Chandar and James Porter, otherwise known as Thatcher, Sledge, Mute and Smoke. Specifically becoming close to both Seamus and Mark for their similarities and personalities, the SAS deemed Frankie as fit for transfer towards Team Rainbow, beginning and constantly training with them. He became the G.M.D for full time with this new organisation, tampering, upgrading, changing and advising new Operators to new pieces of equipment. He even grasped a hold of developing instruments towards members of the Spetsnaz, FBI and GSG 9 services. An outside operations group, also tied to Team Rainbow, then gave Frankie access to High Frequency Sonar Gadgets, which he began to tamper with, and edit/test. This took up a lot his time, where several pieces of visual-centred equipment were instead being sent to a fellow staff member responsible for mending gear. Prior to the Vegas incident, Frankie received an influx in field training, preparing him for all the harsh conditions that may call for his aid if the threat grew too large for the operators to handle. It was useful to have his additional training, getting him back into the feeling of fighting for the freedom and protection of those vulnerable to terrorism. It was quite an easy skill to revive, as it felt almost innate that he could function under these stressful situations and provide an armament of supportive communications for the majority of his comrades. It was here that a shipment from [s]Third Echelon[/s] with all working parts involving sonar equipment was given to him, and thus he began to work toward his own equipment he hoped to employ for specialists of reconnaissance. His specific field of operation became highly useful in terms of befriending the specialist Emmanuelle, and soon they became great friends. Their knowledge and sharing in technological tools used within drones, gadgets and Operator-Signatures made for great conversation, making Frankie more at home where he was. Unfortunately, this amazing friendship, as well as the others, came to an end with the Vegas Incident. Losing three of his friends, Seamus, James and Emmanuelle, as well as the vast majority of team members, including newfound friend Yumiko, he was almost heartbroken at the losses served. Mike went into a solitary silence, and soon rose to power in order to ensure a safer future for Rainbow. Mark went on to training, and soon became more distant than before. The two still went near each other and talked, but it was never the same after Mark's feelings and despair from the massacre. Before the official announcement of new-recruits being tracked down, Frankie volunteered to shift his work-place onto the field, acting as a new operator. When both [i]Six[/i] and Mike questioned what he had to offer, he revealed the High Frequency Sonar Eyepiece, a more compact and stable version of the one he was given, allowing him to act similarly to Pulse, but with slightly higher accuracy and an ability to maintain control of his weapon during usage. Impressing both of the two with the gadget, he extended his training times with the surviving members and produced great results, now being identified as [i]Sonar[/i] for his notorious equipment on hand.
