Frank Withchester

Toowoomba Requiem 2.0 Character

Personal Information

Frank is a 3rd generation grease monkey. He was born in 'large town' California in the 1920's, working on cars, tractors and anything with his Pop and Grandpa. Wasn't so good in school, but went to trade school to continue on working with his Pops, and then World War 2 happened. Pops has helped back in WWI, but due to the US not getting involved until the end, never left Stateside, but this one was gonna be different. Enlisting with the USN (Navy) was soon a Machinist's Mate, 2nd class, contributing to the Pacific Fleet. While based in Australia, he set his roots and started what would later become his home.

His Embrace was in early 1960, with him joining the Carthian Movement and leaving on more than one occasion, last joining in the early 1990's.

Appearance

Frank strikes an imposing image when you first encounter him. He is very muscular, and walks like a bodybuilder or gym junkie, with big chest and arms. Otherwise, Frank looks like something straight from the American 1950's. His usual 'casual' attire, will typically be blue jeans, with the cuffs turned up, a t-shirt under a leather jacket.. The shirt is either white, black or bears some sort of motor vehicle or garage imagery. Wearing sneakers, or sometimes black boots. His hair is slicked, and he has a silver chain around his neck.

You may also see him around in overalls, the smell of grease or oil on his hands, a rag hanging from a rear pocket.

He also bears a tattoo of a 3 bladed fan or propeller on his neck, from his mortal days.

Personality

Frank is generally a calm figure, confident and somewhat arrogant you could say. He is mad keen on vehicles, or anything mechanical. After getting through the bravado, you will find his passion is in the creation or evolution of something plain to something unique, something to stop you in your tracks, take words from you. He has strong opinions and can take offence to poor critiques to his art.

He's reliable, dependable and no nonsense. He is a man of integrity, and a straight shooter, all be it not that approachable. He's been here a while and is aware the all important Elders want someone to do their fetchin' and messin' about, and he's moved on from his time in service.

Mortal World

Frank Withchester was a Machinist's Mate second class, in the US Navy, WWII, part of MacArthur's Pacific Fleet. He was decorated with service medals, married a lovely local lass, but after his father passed, his marriage fell apart without children and the story pretty much came to an end.

"Frankies Autoshop" was reportedly set up by Frank sometime after the war, and in keeping tradition of coach building and vehicle restoration, it is a shop keeping hold of lost art of classic automotive restoration and preservation, with children and grandchildren from the original guys that worked the shop once it first opened, keeping the craft and artistry alive. A recent growth to the business has been Liquid Metal Design, which is all about customisation and radical changes to already expensive cars, which can sometimes be seen at charity events, classic car shows or school formal and weddings.

Information Known by Kindred Society

Frank arrived in the court in the early 1960's, and hasn't been particularly interested in elevating his power within the court political system. He's done good things, proved himself invaluable more than once, then probably destroyed something, gave grave insult or physical harm to more respected members of court. Perhaps it's the Carthian in him, or just the trend of these rebellious young people.
