Frankie (Squad's Mechanic)

Frankie is Squad Four’s mechanic and one of the main sources of comic relief. He is friendly, relaxed, and oddly confident in his own abilities, even when everything around him proves he probably should not be. Whether he is trying to fix a broken heater, diagnosing a power issue, or making a ridiculous comment at the worst possible time, Frankie brings a lighter energy to the team.

He is not useless, though. Frankie may act clueless, but he does understand machinery and technical systems. In the sublevel power room, he is the one who figures out what needs to be checked and helps restore power. His problem is not that he cannot do his job; it is that he comes across as chaotic, distracted, and way too comfortable in dangerous situations.

Frankie is the kind of soldier who somehow made it through the Covenant War, and nobody knows how. He is optimistic, weirdly lucky, and hard to hate, even when he annoys everyone around him. He does not seem eager to get deployed again and is perfectly fine with a quiet base assignment, which makes him a strong contrast to Daniel, who is desperate to see action.

Voice/Performance Direction: Frankie should sound upbeat, goofy, and casual, with strong comedic timing. He should feel like a lovable idiot, but not completely brainless. His performance should be energetic and expressive, with the ability to make simple lines sound funny through delivery.
