Background[]

Personality[]
Frank has a reputation of giving foul calls during softball games, which earns him the ire of most softball-crazed fans. He is also a very defensive man, standing by his decisions no matter the outcome, which is manifested by him imagining himself projecting a suit of armor to defend himself against any opposition. This unfortunately has also made Frank very condescending and rude, often dismissing the kindness of and talking down to others.
He seems to be ambivalent in starting a relationship with any girl. His want for a relationship is because he is a very lonely person, due to a breakup with a past girlfriend.
