Appearance
Hair: His entire mane is a bushy mess colored a greyish-green. A few white hairs are hidden in it. Frank takes great care to hide these white hairs using hair dye and a good brushing.
Eyes: His eyes are a pale shade of yellow, almost sickly yellow. There are dark bags under his eyes and those aren't just from his color.

Clothing: He has a wide closet filled with Neovian attire. He always appears wearing formal clothes he orders from the best tailors in Neovia. But in the comfort of his own home, when no visitors are expected, he wears an array of colorful pajamas made in Neopia Central.

Personal Info!
Personality: Outwardly, people think Frank is just your average old man. He is often seen with a scowl of his face. He is normally serious and strict. He always follows a set of rules he laid down for himself. He tends to be grumpy and complain when a thing is not done the way he thinks is right. But inside, Frank is a man who just wants to be happy in life. He is a very hard worker and strives to do his very best. He can tend to be a perfectionist at times. He is proud of the work he has done and really hopes that his parents and his uncle are proud of him. Although he might not show it, Frank has a soft spot of younger Neopians out in the streets, reminding him of himself. He often tries to help them out by offering them a job or two, tough love so to speak.
Past: The Rosenburgs were an average family in Neovia. They lived in a crowded area in an old apartment building that housed several other families. Although they were lacking in Neopoints, young Frank was a happy child. Then came a sad day when he was 10 years old. Someone on their street painted Fire had been experimenting with their abilities. They couldn't control it and in a couple minutes, the whole street was up in flames. When Frank returned from school, he found his neighborhood in ashes and his parents no more.

Frank was placed under the care of his uncle, an inventor who went door-to-door trying to sell his contraptions. His uncle, now with two mouths to feed, was problematic. He couldn't really afford the parts of his inventions and Frank's education by himself. So, on the weekends, he sent Frank to cover the opposite side of the town, either to beg or sell newspapers while he went and tried to sell whatever thingamajig he had to the other neighborhoods. It wasn't pretty but it did get him into school. When he turned 14, he didn't look as sweet and innocent anymore. Begging was out of the question and selling newspapers didn't have enough income for the rest of his education. Frank took a lot of part-time jobs after school. He helped load up carts and did deliveries for the baker. He drove carriages and chopped down trees. He once even helped get rid of ghostly freeloaders from a mansion (which earned him a very nice pay). This went on and on until Frank finished his studies.

At this time, his uncle was growing old and had stopped selling his inventions himself (Frank had volunteered for this job when his uncle reached 62). Frank had saved enough money to construct a small home in the better side of town where big businesses like the Crumpetmonger stood. He had several jobs and earned good money out of them. For years this went on until his uncle eventually died. Frank never stopped working. Once he had enough money, he constructed The Refuge which was originally just a place that sold basic things not unlike the General Store in Neopia Central. Years passed and his business grew and grew, earning him enough money to renovate his house and actually be considered as part of the Neovian aristocracy.

Plus: 1.A. He has acquired several contacts over the years that include thieves, warriors, mages, and more.
2.A. Though he has gotten chubby over the years, strong muscles are still in his body and he can pack quite the punch. He has also trained in self-defense.
3.A. His uncle kept several inventions to himself which were transferred over to Frank when he died. Some of these inventions can be used as weapons when the time comes.
Minus: 1.B. These contacts currently hate each other so they may attack him if he called on one side rather than the other.
2.A. Because of his bulky body, he is rather slow. He also has terrible aim so his choice of weapons are limited.
3.B. His uncle was a secretive old man so he never told Frank how to use his inventions directly. He only left a series of journals and blueprints in Frank's possession. Frank, unfortunately, wasn't a big tinkerer so he has no clue how to understand any of them.
