Appearance Details
Conrad is the kind of person that people tend to look at and not think much about him, let alone his appearance. He has the most unassuming, round face with crystal blue eyes and spikey, sandy brown hair. Everything about him from the way he stretches his slender arms above his head, revealing a skinny body type to how he wears a crown pendent (said to reflect a courage that everyone assumes he has because of who his parents are). He's also extremely pale, though that could just a result of him staying out of the sun as much as he could because he's more of an inside kind of person. He's roughly average in both height and weight for someone his age.
Generally, Conrad has always found it easier to dress as casual as he possibly could. Whether it's for camp or every day wear, a simply outfit of a singular-colored t-shirt, shorts, shoes, and a tri-colored jacket of red, black, and silverish-white could be seen as the outfit of the day for young Conrad. In addition to this, he tends to always wear a crown pendent around his neck attatched to a light chain.
Personality
For the most part, Conrad is a fairly friendly, if not somewhat reserved, individual. Being raised by good parents, he was taught when to mind his manners, when to stay out of other people’s business, and when to speak up/stand up for himself should he need to. Despite all of these values being instilled into him, the last one still needs some work. Conrad hasn’t had the best of luck when it came to standing his ground against kids who were meaner than he was, tougher than he was, and most importantly, he seemed to possess a more courageous spirit than him. He makes attempts, but either his voice isn’t loud enough for them to hear him or he does it so unconvincingly that those on the receiving end of Conrad’s words simply scoff at him and dismiss him right away.
Deep down, there is a strength in Conrad that is protective. It’s been seen a few times and there have been moments in his twelve years of living where Conrad almost spoke for himself without having someone else speak for him. The key word here being almost. Whatever stops him, it has lingered with him since the day started to show signs of withdrawing from those around him. Despite this, of course, he has a somewhat engaging smile that lets people he’s not completely distant and off in his own head; although, he’s been known to space out from time to time. It’s not a dominating trait by any means. It’s more of a quirk he’s developed. His parents seem to think it’s because he finds it easier than dealing with everything around him.
Ah, if only Conrad realized the confidence within him, then maybe the person he should be would make their debut instead of being covered by the reserved boy that parades as Conrad Franklin.
History Synopsis
Conrad is a native of North Dakota; in fact, he grew up not far from Camp Red Rock. Being the third and youngest child of Ethan Franklin, a five-star chef and Gennifer Franklin, a software engineer, he was often treated as the baby, though the same expectations for his two older siblings - Ethan Russell “EJ” Franklin Jr and Bethany Michelle Franklin - had when they were his age. Being nearly a decade younger than his siblings, Conrad was his parents’ chance of doing over the whole parenting thing they failed at with EJ and Beth. They grew up resenting their parents, but being at the age where Conrad is oblivious to the complicated people his parents are, he’s in the ‘ignorant to the truth’ phase of his life, but that doesn’t mean they have been necessarily easy on him. To tell the truth, Conrad’s seen some complications from his parents.
Ethan and Ginnifer raised Conrad with the expectations that he would carry himself as if he was perfect. And, of course, Conrad did exactly that because if there was anything he hated more than anything in the word, it was disappointing anyone that meant the world to him, most of all his parents. So he carried himself as they wanted him to. He groomed himself to look presentable for their friends. He took on hobbies and habit they wanted him to. He spoke only when spoken to and he took the extra classes they wanted him to, but in doing so, Conrad lost a part of himself that he had when he was younger. He started to withdraw from them. He spoke and interacted them less and less, often retreating to his room, focusing all efforts on the comic books and video games he bought. In doing so, he had forsaken any and all social interaction.
And so his parents acted. In hopes of getting him to come out of his shell, they sent him to a camp not far from where they lived. This camp was known as Camp Red Rock. It would be the place they’d get their wish. If only they knew exactly what was really going to happen that would completely change their son...
