#david franc

David was born in one of the central provinces in France and lived out their early years with their mother, Renee Franc, and their father, Hugo Franc, until they were 10 years old. Their father, seeking out more opportunities, decided to expand his business to America and brought his family with him on the long journey. David immediately started attending an American school and learning English quickly so that they could blend into the new surroundings and with the people that they had to live with.

It was quickly noticed that David’s best subjects were Art, Math, and Science, and their parents encouraged every bit of their learning and appreciation for both despite the pressures on women at the time. Initially in an attempt to better establish themselves as an academic, David changed their name and began taking on less feminine dress as they began to apply for higher education. Not long into their change, they began to realize that this new role of not quite fitting within male or female stereotypes fit their personality far better than it ever had before. At 18 they were accepted into Brown university for a Computer Science major and a minor in Graphic Design. Unfortunately, their dreams were far from coming true as their freshman year was quickly undermined by a staggering set of slowly manifesting abilities.

At first, David would simply wake up in the middle of the night, fallen over from their chair to spot a new drawing on their desk with gruesome depictions. Not long after, they were waking up with more and more of them until one day they saw the first drawing come to life before their eyes. The janitor for the building of the Arts was crushed under a shelf within one of the classrooms and was only found the next morning surrounded in a pool of blood. The coincidence was horrifying, but soon after that the terrifying depictions began to come true. David quickly hid the drawings away from their roommates and was determined to not let this strangeness interfere with their schoolwork.

That summer strange feelings and momentary swings in mood began to happen after touching various objects. David’s parents were beginning to grow worried as their child’s mood shifted seemingly from one moment to the next as she went about the day. The young student tried her best to calm their worries, claiming it was just the stress of school that set them off. Then, in the fall, they returned once more to school, determined to avoid their childhood home in an attempt to distance their parents from whatever was happening.

At the age of 21, David’s powers were becoming harder and harder to control and the final straw was when, in the shower, she suddenly fell into a vision. Without anything to draw on or with, she had cut her leg and drew across the tiles a gruesome image in red before falling unconscious and hitting her head. She woke up within the school nurse’s office and was immediately forced to attend therapy to deal with her ‘deteriorating mental state.’ Fortunately, the therapist didn’t think that the young student was quite insane and began seeking further information into what was happening to them, and actually listening.
