Description: Franklin stands at six feet, two inches, with thick black hair and a large mustach. He has blue eyes, and a rakish grin. He tends to favor red jackets when in public, and hunting jackets when he's hunting. He's thirty-eight years old.
Background: A former officer in the British Army, Franklin retired after the untimely death of his father in a tragic hunting accident, in order to see after the family estate. He found life out of the army rather boring, however, so soon began seeking ways to entertain himself.
He eventually took up hunting, and found that he quite enjoyed the thrill of the hunt. Soon, he was off seeking larger and more difficult game on every continent on the planet, establishing quite a reputation as both a big game hunter, and a gentleman adventurer, often finding himself (usually by complete accident) involved in some conspiracy, plot or criminal action in the course of his hunts, which he then feels obliged to sort out.
He's even been contacted a few times to help out British Intelligence (though admitedly, not any jobs that required any mount of subtlety), to do his part for Queen and Country. As a patriot, he felt he could do nothing less.
As a result of this travelling and hunting and adventures, coupled with his military stories, he's become moderately famous in social circles in England, and can often be found at one party or another, regalling an audience with the hugely exagerated tales of his adventures. His home is a moderate distance north of London, though he often isn't there, either out socializing with the upper classes or out on another adventure. He usually just comes to rest and relax, and get some more ammo for his trademark double-barreled elephant gun while planning his next hunt.
GM NOTE:
Ok, here is my first try at Sir Franklin Blake. Tell me what you think? I decided to start everyone at PL 5 instead of 6 so there is some room for growth in the characters. Since he wanted to carry the big elephant gun, I had to do a trade off to get his damage bonus up to +7 (Base 5 + 2 for trade off for a total of 7) This means that his max attack bonus is now +3 (Base 5 -2). But I gave him the Improved Aim feat to help him in shooting. I guess I will need to give you a run down on what your feats do for you but for now what do you think?
