## Biography

### Franklin Storm: 1939 - 1957

Franklin was born to a doctor and a nurse. He took an early interest in chemistry. Franklin maintained this fascination thought out his childhood. As a teenager, he worked after-school at the local pharmacy as a soda jerk, so he could pick the brain of the pharmacist and chemist.

### Franklin Storm: 1939 - 1957

After graduation, Franklin studied at ESU, Oxford, and Heidelberg University. After finishing his dissertation, he was offered a teaching position at ESU, but he postponed that appointment to spend a year on the road in Europe, seeking to sow his wild oats before returning to America.

While in France, Franklin met Mary Spencer. The two had a romance and agreed to end it and go their separate ways. However, upon his return to New York, Franklin soon ran into Mary again at a coffee shop in Manhattan. The two got to catching up and soon fell into a romantic relationship. When Mary ended up pregnant as a result, Franklin bought a ring and proposed. Two months after their wedding, the Storms welcomed their first child, Susan, into the world.

### Franklin Storm: 1971 - 1995

Franklin and Mary raised Sue and were, more-or-less, your average American family. When Sue was a bit older, Franklin and Mary had a second child. I suspect Johnny may have been the result of an "accident", as his birth seems to have marked a turning point in the Storm's marriage (Franklin has insisted Johnny was not an accident — but I suspect that is to not hurt his son's feelings).

In the early eighties, Mary decided to abandon her family to further her own research. Though Franklin agreed to their separation, her decision had a severe impact on him. He began to drink heavily during this time, but also filled his time with constructive hobbies — bonding with his son Johnny over their mutual interest in automobiles.

It was during the early years of his separation that I met Professor Storm. He was not only one of my professors, but the faculty advisor assigned to me due to my young age while attending ESU. The two of us grew quite close, and I came to regard him as a father figure of sort.

Years later, Franklin contracted severe Erdheim-Chester Sarcoidosis and was given a terminal diagnosis. However, upon hearing this news, I had a fantastic epiphany.
