Saul

**Saul Franks** is a Thing-Thing and a mercenary in the employ of Systems Corp.

He is created by JustAlex93.

## Appearance

Saul has grayish skin with a limbless body composition, typical of the Thing-Thing species. He has red hair that is held up by a black headband, which a large single bang hangs over. He wears black shooting goggles over his eyes, along with a black coat and armor-plated combat boots.

He is sometimes seen wearing the standard Systems Corp. combat vest.

## Personality

A Thing-Thing of very few spoken words, but many thoughts. He lets his actions speak for himself.

He is also ruthless and cunning with his enemies, constantly staying on the beat to eliminate them in the most satisfying ways imaginable.

He also has a burning hatred for a few people; among which being Xander and Claudandus.

When it comes to his compatriots, he's highly territorial.

## Skills/Abilities/Equipment

Saul is skilled in the close range combat, that fellow mercenaries would describe him as "having a magic touch behind the handle of any close-ranged weapon".

In Leifur's own words, "in short, he's pretty damned good!"

He comes armed with two lever-action shotguns, capable of wielding both of them at the same time. In some cases, he uses an FN P90 if he wants to land more accurate shots at close to mid-range.

Saul also uses an Arrow Launcher with equal proficiency, taking advantage of its limited reach to turn his enemies to pincushions at close range.

When the need comes to conserve his ammo, he always has his trusty lead pipe on hand to kill his enemies by blunt force trauma, as well as a couple of execution moves in between.

He is also a skilled computer hacker, having done hacking work during his time in Ebony Team.

## Background

Saul was once a member of Ebony Team, a six-man mercenary unit for hire, until fierce disagreements over the management of their finances had lead the team to disband with the now-former members going their separate ways.

## Relationships

### Lucille Komaut

Ever since they first met, he and Lucille maintained a warm and friendly relationship that evolved into romance. He emphasized with her, knowing what it was like to put up with intolerable people like her uncle. He hopes to one day settle down and start a family with her, and to raise their future children to become mercenaries.

### Jenni Naxxremis

its mostly on a professional and sometimes on the amicable side, she even gets pervy with him leading her to get in trouble with Lucille. He dubbed her the "Loose Cannon from Hell".

### Gunter Fendol

He's friends with him since they first met in middle school.

### Claudandus

Saul, even while as a member of Ebony Team, despised Claudandus for his overbearing arrogance and greed, more than he even hated Xander. He even took York's side when the second-in-command himself got into an argument with Claudandus over the team's finances.

### Xander

Sometimes, it's professional. Mostly, however, it's a fierce and antagonistic rivalry, which began during childhood. Xander had bullied Saul, and had also TP'd and egged the latter's childhood home.

### Nathaniel Harlow

It's mostly on a professional level as long he doesn't try to steal Lucille away from him.
