History:

He was once a prince from a kingdom. François was innocent, and he doesn't have any idea what the outside world looks like. He lived his life in the castle walls together with his younger brother. One day, he sneaked outside the castle walls and took a view of the outside world wearing only ordinary clothes. As soon as he's there, thugs approached him and tried to snatch away something important to him until a strong man helped him and they escaped the scene. When they reached the man's house, François felt hunger and the man quickly prepared food.

"I'm sorry sir. This the only food that I can offer," The man said. In front of François was soup and bread and he replied, "Merci~" Francois gobbled it up even though he has a sensitive stomach. After eating, Francois bid his goodbye to the man and returned to the kingdom. He finally realized how the poor people struggle for living. He promised to himself that he will never bully the poor.

Then, the news about the upcoming war was spread out and as the eldest son of the current monarchy, François took responsibility of leading a group of knights into battle. There, his younger brother came along and they engage themselves into a battle with the opposing kingdom. In the battle, they almost claimed victory. However, Francois' younger brother, Ian, was about to be hacked by machete from the opposing soldier. Ian survived because Francois' blocked the attack and swiftly killed the soldier however Francois' left arm was sliced off.

Francois' ran away from the scene and Ian chased his elder brother desperately. "BROTHER!" Francois paused and turned around at the time he heard his brother yelled his name. "W-Why are you doing this? I thought we will have our duel right?" Ian asked. Francois huffs and asked, "Can you see what happened to me?" Ian observed and finally realized that his elder brother's arm was gone.

"Brother, please come with me. The people won't mind..." Ian insisted.

"Ian... Listen to me. Starting now, on my behalf, you shall be the next ruler of this kingdom."

"That's impossible! Brother you-"

"Silence! I know that it's the first born's role but I'm giving the opportunity to you."

"Brother... You're joking right?"

"*insert wth face* Do I look like I'm joking? Ian.... Did you forget you're ultimate dream in life?"

"I-I know! It' unfair.... Brother I want you to stay with me!"

When Ian was about to cry, Francois walked near him and gave Ian his final hug using only his remaining arm.

"Ian, this brother of yours love you very much. If you don't follow my last will, I'll haunt you when I die."

Ian started to cry, "Big brother Francois! I will miss you! I promise I will make the best out of the opportunity you're giving me...."

Francois stepped back and pushes Ian away from him as Ian attempted to hug him back. "Quick! Run! Tell them that I died and as an evidence, show that right arm of mine." Ian nodded, turned back and ran safely into his soldiers. Francois smiled as Ian left though that smile didn't last long because he became pale due to the massive amount of blood he lost.

He walked as far as he can and fainted. As François was about to die, he heard the sound of an accordion. His vision was blurry but his ears are still sharp. Enough to hear the music from the accordion. "Huh? What is this? An accordion played for my death?" He chuckled all the way until signs of life were diminished.

François woke up in an old, luxurious room and he notices that there was an accordion. What's more surprising that he regained his left arm in an instant. Memories of the battle came into his head and he became totally confused on his current condition. A confused François heard footsteps coming into the room and the door opened. A guy wearing a top hat with a mask covering half of his face and his maid went near to François. "Hey! What are you doing in front of me?" The guy spoke, "I'm Guillotine The Forth, and this is my loyal maid, Alice". "No way! This might be a big mistake. I'm dead now right"I have turned you into a puppet, now you ARE MINE and you SHALL PLEASED me. You shall SWEAR TO BE LOYAL to me and ONLY me".Guillotine grabs a knife and scratches it slightly around your neck as blood drips a bit."Do you feel that? It hurts,doesn't it? So, if your trying to run away,disobey,or do nothing to pleased me, I'll be sure to TORTURE and CUT YOUR HEAD OFF for the 2nd time,and at that time you WILL DIE". François replied, "Okay okay! I'm happy that I have a left arm now" then he nervously laughed. "Please keep quiet!" Alice the loyal maid spoke. From there, François took the life given to him and he swore that he'll protect the whole mansion.

Michele: Marzipan [when they were lovers *shotdead*]
Joey: Franswagger
Suki: Franny-chan
Daniella: Francois-san, Francois-sama [Francois doesn't have any idea what does -san and -sama mean. As long as he is called by his name.]

*more later*

Fran-kun's Kiss List Chu~:

Francois: SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[It's not like our very own Fran-kun want's to kiss them. Rather, he only do it for a certain purpose. Yes, he believes in fairy tales xD]

(In order)
1. Bunny Fenris (purpose is to wake him up)
2. Michele (purpose is to comfort him)
3. Kitty Samuel (purpose is to turn him back to normal)
4. Daniella (purpose is to break free from the control)

Trivia:
Closet sadist!
He has a very sensitive tummy.
He'll protect you even if you don't say it. As long as he recognizes you.... (Yes, he'll protect Guillotine no matter what xP)
Loves bunnies. (He wants Fenris turn into a bunny again. xP)
Can't be easily drunk
He misses Aidan.
Francois: AIDAN!!!!!!! Pourquoi m'as-tu quittée? Vous géant vous! Je vous hais! (Why did you leave me? You giant you! I hate you!)
He thinks that Lex is Aidan's missing son. He actually thought that the reason Aidan left is to make Lex more independent.
He finds Zuzanna extremely weird.
The only people who knows how to catch up with him are Daniella, Bastien and Suki.
He split up with Michele because of Ian (Dun worry. He moves on easily. ^^)
Recently, he's the leader of the Not-letting-Mich-go-at-night Squadron. xD It's not that he still has feelings for Mich rather he's just concerned on every puppet servant in the mansion. ^^
15 years prior to his arrival at Guillotine Mansion, he is cursed by Ian's failed magic. Every time Francois is in berserk mode, he loses twice of his energy that leads him to fainting when he's back to his normal state. The name of the other ego inside him is Greg.
Superior issues *shot*: So far, he feels negative vibes at Guillotine to the point that he really needs to follow him no matter what. He treats Aceline and Etienne like kids. He respects Vincent and Remy, especially Remy because he's a prodigy. He wants to clashes swords with the prodigy one day. He really likes to piss off Fenris (by calling him Femris) and Samuel (by teasing him with some issues). He haven't talked to Vide and Zeleny yet.

Special thanks to for drawing and coloring François for me. ^^ I the way Fran came out. So hot! for an ALMOST middle aged man xP *shot*
