Appearance

Skills and Limitations
Strengths/Abilities
Franco is very skilled with a blaster pistol, capable of using two at once with sharp accuracy. He is proficient in a blaster rifle and a scattergun, however he uses them less often. While he could use a sniper rifle, Franco is the first to admit that he is not a trained sniper and is better in closer combat.
Like most Corellians, Franco is charming, friendly and easy going. He can be a big flirt when he sees someone he finds attractive, and he will often try to find a way to talk himself out of a situation over violence. Violence tends to be a last resort unless he is wronged by someone.
Being a smuggler, Franco has to be quick on his feet and quick in his thinking. This means that Franco can think through a situation and come up with a plan pretty smartly, doesn't always mean that he has thought the plan through and whether it would be a success.
With a rough upbringing, Franco learnt how to use his fists as well as a gun. He doesn't usually get into melee combat with someone, but he knows how to survive a brawl if one kicks off in a cantina. He also trains his skills in fight clubs to make sure that he doesn't get rusty.
Also like most Corellians, Franco learnt how to fly a ship and discovered he was a skilled pilot when he pushed himself to try and pilot one. He tends to get very laxed in his piloting and doesn't take smuggling or flying a ship too seriously unless the pay is substantial enough to be worth his time.
Fluid in a number of languages, Franco had to learn to understand Basic, Huttese, Droidspeak, Tusken Raider, Mando'a and Jawa. He can speak Basic, Huttese and Mando'a (a little, mostly aggressive words).
Weaknesses/Limitations
Franco has a big, he would say small, gambling addiction. This can lead him to being in massive debt to big time crime lords or owing a lot of money and a bounty put on his head. He would usually pay it off or do a job for people but there are times where he just kills the person to end his debt to them, though that doesn't always work out to be the smartest idea.
His temperament is usually calm, Franco isn't a naturally angry person but he does have a nasty temper. When pushed, Franco will become vengeful and aggressive beyond reason. He has killed people for cheating in a game of sabaac or pazaak. He is also known to hold a grudge for long periods of time and hunt down people who has wronged him in the past.
Fighting with swords, Lightsabers, axes, and other melee weapons are not Franco's preferred weaponry and he is not skilled in them at all. Most he uses is occasional throwing knife if he has to.
A lack of morality means that Franco will work for anyone, will do any job that is asked of him. He will help out Jedi and then help out Sith soon after, there is no job too wrong for him. As long as the pay is good.
Too confident in his charming personality, Franco can come across a bit of a narcissist and with inflated ego of himself. However, this doesn't prevent him from being caring when the need comes around, though meaningful relationships is not Franco's speed.
A misunderstanding of how the Force works and what Jedi and Sith are, Franco doesn't really see that Sith and Jedi are different religions, or that one is inherently bad compared to the other. He also believes that the Force is a weapon that Sith and Jedi use, and that if he is able to grab one then he could use the Force if he wanted to.
Biography
Franco was born on Corellia to two loving parents in difficult area of Corellia, while his parents tried to raise Franco to be respectful and be a caring person. The streets of Corellia where he lived raised him to be a very different person, he grew harsher and aggressive to anyone he deemed wronged him. His fighting skills grew as Franco got into fights while at school or when hanging out with the small time gang in his area. As the years passed, he became skilled in driving speeders and other vehicles, often taking part in racing and gambling his money on winning. He got deep into debt when his mother passed away and his father fell into alcohol addiction, something that shaped Franco who decided that drinking was not his speed, falling deeper into gambling and found himself on a losing streak. To pay off his debt, Franco had to smuggle slaves off world and into Hutt space, it wasn't usually something that he would agree to or enjoy doing but he wanted to get away from Corellia, and he figured that he could keep the ship after doing the drop off.
Which is what he did, this also meant that a bounty was place on him in Corellia which prevented him going home for many years. This didn't matter too much to Franco since he wasn't keen on returning home, instead he used the ship to travel back to Hutt space and work with several crime syndicates in the galaxy. Franco also made sure that he wasn't known by name so started going by the codename Runner when he was working. Franco trained with fellow smugglers to hone his gunmanship since he had never carried a pistol before, he found he was a quick learner when it came to ranged weapons and impressed his fellow smugglers with his quick hands when duelling and taking down targets. However, it was noted by many friends and associates that Franco had a nasty temper, to be his friend was fine but if you upset Franco then he would hurt you and often kill you. It made him vicious as a smuggler and he would often kill his competition if he felt they were trying to undercut him.
Currently Franco is between jobs and looking to gain some credits since he has been racking up a sizable debt in a couple of bad pazaak games. Mostly because he swears the deck sold to him was rubbish and rigged to lose.
