Francisco 'Franny' Velasquez

Physical Description

Franny is an elder goth who's average height for his age, though still quite a bit shorter than his husband, Micah, and the opposite of him in many ways physically as well. Franny has greasy, scraggly, disheveled, light brown shoulder-length hair that often falls into his face (especially on the right side) that's greying at the sides and near his roots. He has quite wrinkled skin, especially on his forehead and around his mouth, and very prevalent eye bags; he basically looks equally exhausted and irritated all the time. Despite his dislike of leaving his house and going out and about, he still puts on black eyeliner and paints his nails black almost every day, sometimes painting his husband's nails for him as well, and never takes off the silver cross earrings he's worn since the eighties. He also has heterochromia, or two different colored eyes, his left being a dull green and his right a dull blue. He has a pair of reading glasses that he wears whenever he's on his phone or laptop or reading anything at all (he's very farsighted). When it comes to how he dresses, Franny has quite the opposite style of his formally-dressing husband, that being that he doesn't really have one nor does he care about the way he dresses as long as he's wearing black. He almost always wears a black sweatshirt, black jeans, and black buckled and spiked boots with a black t-shirt beneath his sweater that can have the logo of any goth band, though his favorite ones (and the ones he wears most frequently) are Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, The Cure and The Sisters of Mercy. He always wears his silver wedding ring and (due to his CFS) a red medical bracelet around his right wrist. On occasion whenever he goes out he has a black cane that he takes with him to help him stay balanced.

Personality Description

Francisco, or Franny as he's more commonly known, is an old goth trying his hardest to live his life in peace with his husband, Micah, who he met in the early 80's and quickly came to bond with over their shared love for music, the goth subculture, and.. well, each other FHGBFHG// Franny connected with Micah early on after finding out about his difficult life growing up, an experience he shared as well, and not long after meeting the two decided to move in to a place together and start forming a band with two of their friends that they'd eventually call Franny & The Bat Cave (actually named after an old cave Franny had near his house growing up he'd walk to all the time that was notorious for being filled with bats). They performed throughout the eighties together, though Franny and Micah decided to retire the band in the early 90's after the abrupt and sudden death of their two friends and bandmates. Nowadays, the two are just living peacefully with each other and still look back very fondly on their old performing days They still do interviews and the rare performance with each other from time to time, though Franny especially strongly dislikes being in the spotlight (and the public as a whole) so these instances are few and far between. In Franny's eyes, his ideal life at this point is to just stay in bed cuddling with Micah.. forever agdhbgdg <33 Besides just being a big recluse who hates going out because of his dislike for people, he also can't go out much because of his CFS- or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome; something that basically makes him permanently exhausted and in near constant pain He can't walk or stand for long periods of time because of this and also has difficulties sleeping and passes out somewhat frequently (hence the medical bracelet), though he's grateful to have Micah by his side to assist him with tasks he has difficulty with himself because of this.
Franny is definitely the opposite of Micah in many ways when it comes to their personalities; as his appearance may suggest, he's definitely the much more nihilistic, cynical and overall unapproachable one of the two. He's not really mean, just very blunt with his thoughts and not very expressive of anything other than mild irritation and annoyance. He gets irritated very easily and won't hesitate to curse someone out if they're bothering him, but is also fairly good at keeping his mouth shut during times where he knows lashing out isn't the best thing to do and instead resorts to a death glare that could probably freeze the sun over haha. His default expression is just a frown with furrowed eyebrows which makes him very unapproachable (which, to him, at least, is a benefit considering how much he hates being recognized in public and going out in general), but when someone does come up to say hi he'll be as pleasant as he can and make discussion, usually relying on Micah to be the more warm and welcoming of the two haha. Even if he doesn't mean to, he can come off as dismissive sometimes because of his lack of expressiveness and blunt way of speaking, but he never ever intends to hurt anyone's feelings and is a lot smarter and wiser than he lets himself on to be. He's almost always tense in some way, but Micah manages to calm him down. Even if he's adamant about how much he dislikes physical affection, he is CONSTANTLY glued to Micah's side wherever they go and will cuddle up against him no matter where they are and will get grouchy if he doesn't get attention <33
