Yay! an OC post!! This is a reference for one of my oldest characters! He's been redesigned countless times over the years, both in looks and appearance!

Here's a little overview of his story! I hope to do something with this someday, so not all of it is included!

Franklin was created through genetic experimentation, the end goal being to create a soldier with incredible stealth needed for espionage. He was the first of multiple experiments in bird/human DNA splicing. Franklin was raised alongside his 'siblings' as a soldier and given the code name "Falke" (Pronounced Fal-kuh. German word for Falcon). After being captured during a mission at 22, Falke was left for dead, his tech deemed obsolete. His siblings, with the help of Falke's partner, Noah Worden, and an enemy scientist who could not stand to see Falke hurt any longer, organized a secret (and illegal) rescue mission into dangerous territory, rescuing him under the cover of night using 'stolen' military vehicles. After four years of capture, Falke was quite traumatized; his hair had grown out, he was skinny, and he had been forced to remove his communication implants, resulting in being blind and deaf on his right side.
They hide him at Noah's house and Falke slowly learns to live a normal life again with Noah's help. Noah, a former army doctor turned desk-jockey, had been honorably discharged after losing an arm and leg in an explosion. He returned to work and was assigned to monitor the vitals of the bird soldiers sent into the field (reference to be provided in another post). Falke had been experimented on and hurt during his capture and is still quite scared, but Noah attempts to make his life as normal as possible and helps him learn to trust again and overcome his fears. Over the next year, Falke slowly finds himself falling for Noah and the two soon end up together. Noah worries for their safety as their own government slowly closes in, tipped off about their off-the-books rescue mission using unauthorized military equipment. Despite his noble cause, Noah is deemed a traitor for working with the enemy and a thief for stealing military equipment.
