'''Franklincain''' (mundanely known as '''Franklin W. Cain''') 
is a [[fleet officer]] in the [[crew]] [[Midnight Aurora]] on the [[Meridian Ocean]]. 
He can also be frequently found prowling the [[forums]] 
(under the [http://forums.puzzlepirates.com/community/mvnforum/viewmember?member=Franklincain same name]) 
as well as the [[YPPedia:About|wiki]]. 

He greatly enjoys [[pillage]]s, [[Sea Monster Hunt|SMH]]s, [[flotilla]]s, and [[blockade]]s, 
as well as the occasional [[fray]] against various supernatural beasties. 
In fact, he so enjoys blockades that (in times past) 
he would occasionally stray over onto [[:Category:Oceans|other oceans]] on weekends, 
when there were no blockades on his home ocean, 
just to see if there was any "hot, ship-on-ship action" available somewhere else. 

He enjoys most of the [[duty puzzle]]s (all save for [[Carpentry]] and [[Gunnery]]) 
as well as most of the [[crafting puzzle]]s (all but [[Blacksmithing]]). 
He also enjoys [[Drinking]], 
and he's also been known to engage in an occasional [[poker |"friendly" game of cards or two]] 
(but only in the lower-stakes tables). 

He enjoys [[wikipedia:Role-playing_game|role-playing]], whether in Puzzle Pirates or in other games. 
He has a [[wikipedia:Slapstick|quirky]] (and [[wikipedia:Gallows_humor|sometimes]] [[wikipedia:Black_comedy|dark]]) sense of humor. 
He likes to avoid [[wiktionary:drama_llama |messy political squabbles]], 
like those that often plague the various [[Parley]] groups at the [[Forums]]. 
He prefers to associate with like-minded pirates. 

While his primary [[house]] is a [[shack]] on {{Meridian|Tigerleaf Mountain}}, 
he appears to have an obsession with acquiring additional shacks on [http://google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&q=%22islands+with+shacks%22+%22Meridian+Ocean+islands%22+site%3Ayppedia.puzzlepirates.com&oq=%22islands+with+shacks%22+%22Meridian+Ocean+islands%22+site%3Ayppedia.puzzlepirates.com every island having them]. 

== History ==

In October of 2007, 
Franklincain washed up onto the shores of Tigerleaf Mountain, 
in that part of Meridian [[Ocean_merge|once known]] as [[Viridian Ocean|Viridian]]. 
After settling in with the crew [[Echoes of War]], 
and under the tutelage of more experienced pirates, 
including [[Klostro]] (the crew's [[captain]] at that time), 
[[Oloto]], 
and [[Zola|Bustergaa]], 
he quickly learned the ropes of being a pirate. 
Even so, he was humbled and surprised by his promotion to the rank of [[fleet officer]]. 

Franklincain disappeared for over a year, for most of 2009 and part of 2010. 
He [http://www.wowhead.com/user=fwcain claims to have explored] a strange, alien realm named [[wikipedia:World_of_Warcraft|Azeroth]] during this absence. 

During the summer of 2012, 
Franklincain finished [[memorization|memorizing]] 
both the [[Onyx_Archipelago_(Meridian)|Onyx]] and [[Jade_Archipelago_(Meridian)|Jade]] [[archipelago]]es, 
and started on [[Garnet_Archipelago_(Meridian)|Garnet]]. 
Once he finishes the [[Viridian Ocean|Viridian side]] of the world-ocean, 
he plans to tackle the [[Malachite Ocean|Malachite side]]. 

Also during that same summer, 
Franklincain turned his hand to [[shoppe management|shopkeeping]], 
choosing to open a [[distillery]] [[bazaar|stall]]. 
Unfortunately, 
this was not all that successful for him, 
as while he may ''enjoy'' crafting in general, 
he discovered that he was not especially ''skilled'' at [[Distilling]]. 
As a result, 
he was unable to consistently provide his stall with any [[labor]] above "basic." 

In the latter part of 2012, 
Echoes of War switched to [[Corruption|a more politically-active flag]], 
one which has been [[war|at war]] with one flag or another
almost constantly since then. 
Since Franklincain does ''not'' like [[War#Sinking_PvP |unrestricted PvP action]] 
(i.e.: PvP sinking ''outside of'' blockades), 
this troubled him. 
So, in 2013, 
when [[Monlizzy|one of his hearties]] offered him an officer's post in [[Midnight Aurora|her crew]], 
he accepted and switched over. 

=== Injuries received (and healed) ===

Unlike many other pirates, Franklincain does ''not'' want any [[injury|injuries]]. 
So it was with some amusement to his crew-mates when he received a peg-leg on his very first trip to [[Atlantis]] (which he subsequently healed). 
Since then, he also received (and healed) an eye-patch during a blockade. 
Furthermore, during the summer of 2013, he received (and healed) a peg-leg from Atlantis, a hook from the [[Haunted Seas]], and (another) hook from Atlantis.
