β’ CHARACTER SHEET! repost, donβt reblog
FULL NAME: born nguyα»
n huα»³nh dα»©c, later renames himself to frank jaeger. this occurs both to divorce himself from his young life as an amerasian interment camp kid, and to associate himself with naomi (and give the White People around him an easier name to pronounce since he was very quiet and close to non verbal as a child).
NICKNAME: frank hunter. null. gray fox.
TITLES: i know this is not intended here, but received the rank of "FOX" five times within FOXHOUND, hence the code name "gray fox".
OTHER NAMES / ALIASES: "that ninja". deepthroat. (shut up.)
GENDER: cis male. kind of doesn't really care, but doesn't feel out of place with his perceived sex and gender.
WEIGHT: around 170 lbs. (i imagine him close to being built like this fellow, if a bit thinner, so maybe 150-160).
AGE: born late 1960s. at any time, around 5 yrs older than snake, making him late 30s at death.
ZODIAC: genuinely no idea. his viet zodiac is either the horse or the water goat.
SPOKEN LANGUAGES: fluent in tiαΊΏng viα»t, english, german, likely some "important" languages for infil like arabic, russian, spanish, etc. conversationally knowledgable of khmer and japanese as well.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
HAIR COLOUR: pale, stark blond, nearly white. possible marie antoinette syndrome, as i do not see him as albino.
SKIN TONE: medium olive. darker in the sun especially when living in africa, lighter when living on bases such as with big boss.
BODY TYPE: athletic, muscular. broad enough to portray strength, narrow and tapered enough to portray acrobatic and olympic prowess. not a powerhouse like big boss, but not quite as small as rookie snake.
ACCENT: very likely to some degree west african. frank is vietnamese and born in vietnam, but spent like. a very very long part of his early life in west african regions. i would say its probably more like. west african thats been dilluted a bit by travel. i like greg eagles' performance best, so something like this (though i hc his voice is not quite this deep / is being amplified by the suit).
VOICE: ^ has always spoke like this, just quieter because the suit amplifies his voice.
POSTURE: slouches when sitting, almost always. good posture when standing due to military background.
SCARS: innumerable. fox is heavily scarred, and not for a lack of skill contributing to errors--he is an extremely skilled soldier and highly trained special operative. the scarring primarily comes from his early childhood (camp interment), fighting as a child soldier for the west african forces, and being captured and tortured before being rescued by big boss. the most notable scars/results of torture or battle are that both of his ears are missing chunks, his face bears at least three scars from the struggle and subsequent torture, and post mgs1, he's blind in his right eye due to his fight with david in mg2.
TATTOOS: one small stick-and-poke of a crummy cartoon snake on the back of his neck.
MOST NOTICEABLE FEATURES: the exoskeleton. outside of that, his unnaturally pale hair and red bandana are quite identifying.
PLACE OF BIRTH: ha giang, northern vietnam.
HOMETOWN: well... hoa lΓ² prison, in hanoi.
BIRTH WEIGHT: 5 lbs, 3 oz. a little small.
MANNER OF BIRTH: natural, at home, as his mother could not afford any medical bills and had no way to get to a hospital or clinic anyway.
FIRST WORDS: mama (in viet, frank had a habit of saying mαΊΉ mαΊΉ).
SIBLINGS: biologically, none that he knows of. adoptive/socially, naomi hunter, younger sister.
PARENTS: unnamed vietnamese mother, deceased. unnamed german-american father, deceased.
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT: virtually none. at least, his mother wanted to have, love, and raise her child; her absence was not voluntary by any means. she was separated from her child when it came out that he was an amerasian child / biracial, and he was subjected to prison interment for it. she very likely died shortly thereafter herself. his father has never been involved; the moment he knew frank's mother was expecting, when she began to show, he fled. frank has no idea who he is, what he looks like, etc, and he doesn't care.
OCCUPATION: child soldier turned into mercenary, later renamo soldier in mozambique. becomes a highly decorated "second in command" type member of big boss's FOXHOUND, outer heaven loyalist.
CURRENT RESIDENCE: generally, wherever big boss is, you will find frank.
CLOSE FRIENDS: big boss. venom snake (possibly?). members of FOXHOUND and zanzibarland loyalists. solid snake. gustava heffner.
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: verse dependent. canonically dated gustava for a while.
FINANCIAL STATUS: eh.... all of his money went to supporting naomi. when that was no longer necessary, everything else went to work or food. he doesnt really have a significant savings or anything--he doesnt need it.
DRIVER'S LICENSE: officially? unlikely.
CRIMINAL RECORD: sure. aiding a terrorist group, insurrection, destruction of property, attempted murder, murder/assassination, assault with intent to kill, assault with a deadly weapon, trespassing, etc. list goes on. technically could be charged for kidnapping for taking naomi with him, too.
VICES: sleeps poorly and in strange places and positions. overly quiet when it would benefit him to speak. sort of humorless to some folk / very dry. always feels as if he's watching the world through a glass box rather than partaking in being in that world. kind of dead pan. doesn't respond well to extreme stress. loyal to an absolute, fatal fault.
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: bisexual.
ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: biromantic.
PREFERRED EMOTIONAL ROLE: ehh... this is kind of hard to pin down.
PREFERRED SEXUAL ROLE: hard versatile switch. happily content in any position, taking or receiving, leading or following, domming or subbing. he could be a bit of a rough dom, but never a very hard one; he has to trust you a lot to really comfortably sub, but can bottom from the top/would enjoy domming in such a way, especially if there's an aspect of objectification with his top (e.g. treating them like an object to get him off whilst theyre having sex--not something he'd ever do outside of kink, but something he would like while playing). the only people he'd really sub for--regardless of topping or bottoming--would be david and gustava at the moment.
TURN ONS: a bit of an 'opposites attract' kind of fellow, where the more sincere and less hardened by war and trauma and less disillusioned with the universe they are, the more frank will be drawn toward them. they do not need to be a happy go lucky sunshine and rainbows kind of person--in fact he finds that a little annoying--but if they're a good person, who enjoys being alive, who views their own continued existence like revolution, it'll get his attention. a pretty face and a nice butt or rack is just a bonus.
TURN OFFS: blowhards. whiners. prissy, shallow people. the 'more concerned with never doing something wrong than ever doing anything right' people. any bodily fluid that isn't blood or maybe saliva. extreme height differences (someone who is, say, 6'10, or 4'10, are going to lose his interest). trying to get more from him than he's willing to share in the moment.
LOVE LANGUAGE: he's a bit cagey overall, but behaves like a tomcat leaving you dead animals as a sign of sincere affection and to teach you to hunt better because it thinks you're bad at it. thats fox.
RELATIONSHIP TENDENCIES: rarely has them due to his own somewhat reclusive and very solitary nature. crashed out pretty quick from the canon one he had, and is pretty much responsible for her death.
CHARACTER'S THEME SONG: escape -- mgs1 ost.
HOBBIES TO PASS TIME: training and sparring were always his favorites. ran some errands around base as need be. sometimes, having a very civilian-like period of hanging out with snake or big boss was pretty fun to frank--just something simple and small like tossing a ball around was enough to make him happy.
MENTAL 'DISORDERS': i'm going to interpret this as 'symptoms'. very reclusive and struggles to connect with others, dissociative episodes and derealization, probably some form of avpd. masochist. extremely depressed, struggles with severe anxiety and a guilt complex for mosto f his life. suppresses everything until he explodes.
MENTAL ILLNESSES: c-ptsd is the only one he's aware of, albeit not the only thing he's affected by at all.
PHYSICAL ILLNESSES: no illnesses, but becomes severely disabled post mg2 due to battle with snake in a fucking minefield. severed limbs, injuries to nerves and skin and muscle, etc.
LEFT OR RIGHT BRAINED: both? but probably a bit more left.
PHOBIAS: heavily medicalized environments are the quickest path to full scale panic attacks with fox. has some typical specific triggers most soldiers have too--gunpowder, oil, burning skin, etc. the whir of some electronics can do it too.
SELF CONFIDENCE LEVEL: hard to pin down. very assured in his physical abilities, zero confidence in himself as a person.
VULNERABILITIES: not remorseless. feels immense guilt for most of the things he does. loyal to a fault--in fact, to the fault of killing himself for it. once in the exoskeleton, it can be overloaded and isn't invincible. issues with nerve reconnections can cause dissociative episodes.
