Frans Olo is indebted to a devil who goes by the name "Reita", supposed daughter of Glasya and who was banished from the hells by said mother. He had signed a contract at the age of 13 for food, a warm bed, and protection. This was some time after he buried his mother. He has regretted it since then
Frans is half drow on his father's side and was born a bastard son out of wedlock and to a human prostitute. He has 4 half siblings. 3 older sisters out of who only one is alive and a younger brother who was killed moments after birth by their last remaining sister. (More info below)
Frans grows close to every companion but there are 4 he had massive rough starts with. 1. Astarion- too much alike and bickering constantly. 2. Shadowheart tried to kill him after he stole the artifact. 3. Mithara also tried to kill him. 4. Lae'zel just scares him. They eventually work it out.
Frans's flower is the white magnolia since it brings with it fond memories of his late mother. There is a magnolia tree up on a hill near where he lived as a young boy with a gorgeous magnolia tree atop it. He spent many a morning/evening with his mother there whenever they could
Frans usually dresses super plain in blacks and browns to fit into the crowd since standing out is a terrible idea. It's not until his wedding day that he first dons brighter/softer garments. Silvers, Coblot Periwinkle blue, and Whites are his favorites to wear.
Frans is very food driven, so if you want anything done, use this against him. It's a trauma response, though, since growing up, food was scarce. Any food, no matter the amount, is far more valuable than any gems to him. Also has a nasty habit of eating too fast due to this. No crumbs left behind.
Reita (The devil Frans "works" for) does not care for his accent, so he has learned to mask it. However, it will come out when he's extremely scared or pissed. It's a thick irish accent he inherited from his mother. The more he's worked up, the thicker and more incoherent it becomes.
Frans puts on a charming and witty persona, but in reality, he's still the scared little 13-year-old boy starving in the cold. He's pessimistic, doesn't have hope in much, is anxious, & focused on self-preservation. Throughout the journey, he grows, opens up, & regains his kind, child like heart.
Things Frans "can't" do. 1. Never learned how to swim. 2. Can read well enough to get by, but it is limited. 3. Can play pretty much any instrument except for a Viol, Dulcimer, and Shawm, but he could probably figure it out. 4. Never been on a date, so romance is a mystery to him outside of songs.
