Talk:Fran Beans/Archive
Relation to Sparks Beans
I've proposed this to the folks on discord but of course I'll post it here too. We would like to make Fran Beans related to Sparks Beans, of the Seattle Garages. They're long lost siblings, after their father, Fava, gave Sparks to a barista for a life changing cup of coffee. Whenever Fran was in Seattle she would frequent Sparks' coffee shop, but the two wouldn't realize they're related until beginning blaseball. What if Fran got the idea of overcharging her arms because the first time it happened was when she and Sparks brushed fingers, handing money for her order over?

The day that Francisca K. Beans would show up in the Wild Wings clubhouse as a full member of the team was viewed as an inevitability by many. Despite a lucrative previous career as a Legal Team bodyguard, Beans’s exceptional performance on the Legal Team’s underleague blaseball team combined with her unshakeable love for the splort meant that it was not a question of if Fran would step onto the field, but rather a question of when.
One of Beans’ most notable traits is her massive collection of various swords, carried with her at all times in a glolf bag slung over her shoulder. Each game, Beans selects what she considers the most ideal sword to bat with based on a long and obscure list of conditions that none of her teammates can comprehend- although quite often, she will simply discard all other options in favor of the largest sword on-hand. Beans will then integrate her chosen sword fully into her arm
Although Beans’ status as a one-woman armory is very useful in the event of any unexpected sword duels, the incredible weight of all the swords she refuses to ever put down makes her a somewhat ineffective baserunner.
During games, Fran’s cybernetic arms are often seen crackling with excess electricity due to the fact that before every game, she will plug them into the nearest electrical socket to siphon as much electricity into them as possible. This process of “charging” her arms appears to be a somewhat effective strategy- not only does it increase the power of her swing, but her metallic sword-bat also functions as an effective conduit for spare electricity. Fran’s electrical hits will often result in the complete obliteration of the blaseball she’s trying to hit. This often results in an in-field home run, as despite Beans’ poor baserunning, the other team’s fielders are unable to collect all of the charred scraps of the ball scattered all over the field in time to prevent her from running all the bases.
