He is portrayed by Sean A. Martinez.

## Physical Appearance

Frank is a young adult with light skin, brown eyes, and dark-brown hair.

## Characteristics

Frank appears to be an easygoing person around his friends, but seems to be the most anxious of the group. He was the only one who voiced concern at taking a drug that had been removed from the market.

## Background

Before graduating high school, Frank's sister Jules got in an accident during a soccer match, which damaged her shin and left a scar. Despite them planning to go to college together, Frank decided to go to junior college without his sister.

## Crypt Monster Universe

### Dream Screechers

Frank invited his friend Mel out to a cabin in the woods to share one last night of fun with them before he went to junior college. Though he is exasperated by the unforeseen arrival of Jules' friend J.P., he decides to ignore his feelings and have fun. That night, J.P. brings out a bottle of Somnidyne that he swiped from his mother's medicine cabinet, and Frank tries to raise concerns about Somnidyne being off the market. His concerns are ignored, and he agrees to take a pill if Jules stays out of the drugs.

The friends go out for a walk in the woods, and they notice strange things in the environment as the drugs begin to kick in. They eventually come across the Dream Screecher, which attacks them after J.P. antagonizes it (under the impression that it was another hallucination). Frank, Mel and J.P. make it bac to the cabin after the drug wears off, and Frank realizes that Jules is still outside, and becomes enraged when J.P. reveals that Jules took two of the pills after they left the cabin.

Frank goes back out into the woods after taking the last pill and confessing to Mel that he loves her. He soon finds Jules hiding behind a tree, and in her adrenaline-fueled stupor, Jules apologizes to Frank for how she treated him, and tells him that he's going to do great things in college. The monster finds them and drags Jules away, trying to eat her leg, and Frank attacks it. As the drugs wear off, the monster dissipates in a cloud of glowing particles. Frank is hopeful for a moment, but then he sees that Jules has sustained life-threatening injuries.

Frank drags Jules back to the cabin to get her help, but she had succumbed to her injuries long before he got there. Refusing to believe that she's dead, a hysterical Frank runs into the cabin to find some first-aid materials.

## Relationships

### Jules

Jules and Frank seemed to have been close for siblings of their age, having made plans to attend college together so they wouldn't drift apart. However, things got rocky between them when Jules got her injury and Frank decided to go to college without her. Frank seemed somewhat protective of Jules, as he only agreed to take the Somnidyne on the condition that Jules wouldn't take any. After Frank went to rescue her, Jules broke down and told Frank that she was sorry for giving him the cold shoulder, and that she knew he was going to do something amazing when he went to college. Frank was willing to risk his life for his sister, and was inconsolable when she succumbed to her injuries from the Dream Screecher.

### Mel

Frank and Mel are good friends, and get along very well. Frank had developed feelings for her in middle school, but was "too chicken" to admit them to her. Realizing that their camping trip would likely have been the last time he would see her for a long time, Frank wrote a letter containing his feelings for her with the intention of giving it to her to read when she was alone.

When he went out to find Jules and face the Dream Screecher, Frank confessed his love to Mel and kissed her before going out into the woods. When Frank returned with Jules' body, Mel tried to comfort him as he broke down.

### J.P.

Frank and J.P. were not on the best of terms, as he did not believe that Frank would lead Jules down a good path. Nevertheless, he trusted J.P. to keep Mel safe in the cabin as he went after his sister.
