“Wow! Franco Key is looking pretty good!”

–David Franco

David Franco, also known as Franco, is a character based on the Musician of the same name. He appears in the short story Blank Slates as one of the secondary protagonists.

Appearance

Franco is a human with brown hair, a brown shirt, and blue shorts. He wears a pair of headphones over his head.

Story

Franco is first seen in the Developer's Grove when he, along with Mildew and Joseph Tringali, get overthrown by the Droogle Leader and the rest of the Droogles. The three of them are stabbed and sent into The Void.

In the void, Joe, Franco, and Mildew wake up to see the Four Guardians and explain their situation. Before Franco can get a complete grasp on the situation, Drakon and Dinofrog attack the group. Drakon captures Joe, Franco, and Mildew and takes them to the Shadow Hole.

At the Hole, Drakon releases the three behind Shadow Mari, and holds them hostage. Eventually, Mayo tells Shadow Mari to shoot a beam of Shadow at Willham, prompting many characters to ask questions. Mayo breaks down shortly thereafter, and in the aftermath of her breakdown, Joe, Franco, and Mildew attempt to ascend back into the Grove, but Franco is struck by a falling Droogle and stays in the void. Capitalizing on the opportunity, Hose asks Franco to allow the void to remain populated. Franco agrees to pass the request onto Joe and ascends back into the Grove.

In the Grove, Franco tells Joe about Hose's request to keep the void as it is. While he considers the request, Willham, Shadow Mari, and the Droogle Leader all appear in the Grove, and Franco asks Shadow Mari to transform his appearance to turn into Franco Key. She obliges, and Franco eventually makes his way to Belleview to keep watch on Drawn to Life: Two Realms from the inside.

Trivia

• Although not stated in Blank Slates, Franco is not the real world David Franco. Rather, he is an avatar that interprets the real world Franco's decisions and code, and replicates them in the world of Drawn to Life.
