Smile Finished! :D

Frank's mother was a hippy... His father a soilder in serving in Vietnam on leave... They met when she still lived in New York, and had a one night fling. The next morning he shipped out, and two months later she went to San Francsico for "The summer of love". After that summer of drugs, sex, and all out hippy fun she decided to stay on the bay area. One cold December night she was walking home from the market, and suddenly started to have stomach pains, but ignored it. She then started to walk down the alley that lead to her appartment, but suddenly collapsed from another wave of pain. A man heard her screaming,and rushed outside to help her. Him being an ex-surgeon from WWI knew exactly what to do. After six hours of exaghustion Frank was born though his mother wanted to belive otherwise. She denied even being pregnat in the first place, and said she had always used birth-control. The man gave her some sleeping pills, and labled her hysterical. After the man had fallen asleep though she was able to get up, and sneak off into the night. The next morning the man awoke to a small crying infantin his living room. He had never had kid's and intended to keep it that way, so he gathered up some money, blankets, and a basket and dumped the boy at the city orphanage late that night. He was given the name Frank Thompson by the mother superior of the establishment, and was placed among the other childeren of the city.

Sixteen years later Frank has grown into some what of a hulking teenager. He is 179Lbs. of pure muscle, and stands at a staggering six foot five. He's been thrown on the street's by the orphanage who see the boy as nothing, but trouble due to his constant drinking, sexual mischief, gammbling, drug use, and smoking. For the next two years of his life he works as a local street gang's enforcer, and delivers drug's to L.A. when needed to. This life style got him a car, house, and everything he could want, but after a huge bust on his gangs operations he needed a new outlet for cash, so Frank does the most senseable thing a highschool drop-out with no documented credintials would do... He joins the Marine's! Right away Frank is thrown into combat, and unlike anything in his life (except being a criminal) Frank is perfect at it. His natural love for violence, fearlessness, and body-build make him a the closest one could get to being a super soilder. He moves up quickly in the ranks, and earns the nick-name "Smile" from one of his commanding officers who was disgusted at how he kept a grin while exterminating a whole enemy camp of insurgents. He then started almost trademarking the name Smile. He wore a smiley-face button, painted a smiley-face on his helment, and would even paint his face to look like one before battle. Almost like a sick joke style of war-paint.

After his first campaing around the world Frank came back to the States for some R&R, but upon arrival was stopped by two army officers. Frank saluted the two men out of habbit. They told him to calm down, and he asked with a grin "What can I do for you, sir's?". One of the men laughed, and the other ut his arm around, Frank's back and told him "You've allready done so much for us lieutenant... Let us do somthing for you... Cause we'er gonna make you famous!". After his leave was over Frank was taken to The Pentagonto be shown "Project Smile". The government knew that the situation in the Middle East was bound to boil over soon, and were determined to keep that region under control for the oil. The only problem was America was still realing from the Vietnam war, and weren't likley to trust the armed forces just yet. That's were Frank came in! With his natural look's charisma, and fighting spirit he was sure to win back the American public. At age 21 Frank was taken to the first State Of The Union speech held by George H. W. Bush, and intoduced as Smile! He imediatly won over the media, government, and overall the public. The geinuses at The Pentagon had created a plan that couldn't fail

And fail it did not...

The first Bush addministrations aproval ratting's went through the roof, and the Army, Navy, and Marine recruting stations were flooded with young men ready to give there lives for the country. Smile was everywhere from billboards, to television, to add campaihgns, hell he even had a G.I. Joe made after him, and everybody had smiley-face buttons. Though this bigshot life took him by storm in no way did he leave his old way's. He was still on the battlefield every chance he got, and in his free time he worked as a covert assassin for several of the first Bush addministrations members. He became some-what of an American-stapple, and it seemes like there was no going away for him. Then came the Gulf War... Most of the people at the Pentagon were worried that this could destroy the Smile persona because of the violence that was going to ensue in this war, but it didn't... Infact everybody gave support to the troops that had been unseen since WWII after they found out he was going to be fighting. After the war, Smile became more politacly active, and in Bill Clinton's first campaighn add for presidency you can guess who was shaking his hand... That's right it was Frank! He helped, Bill get the American public back on a democratic vote. After, Bill Clinton was inagurated, Frank was taken to Somalia as part of the effort's there, and then it happened... The military failure known as thee Battle of Mogadishu happened, and after that the American public turned it's back on Smile...

Though there was no point to it massive coverups still ensued. Frank was ousted by everyone, and was forced to fake his death. It was said Frank was killed in Eschede train disaster while en route back to the states. Nobody seemed to care. Thousands of smiley-face buttons were thrown out, and Smile was ultamitly forgotten by all the hype for the then new millineum. Frank however was very alive, and very depressed. He took to drinking even more, and occasional narcotic use to ease his troubled mind. Eventually Smile was totally forgoten,and everything about him (pictures, video's, documents, Ect.) were destroyed by the government. Over these years he started to see how the world was getting worse and still did need a Smile. One night he put his costume on, and once again became the Smile. Over these two years he protected San Francsico, and met his three son's who helped him here, and there.

Frank eventually stopped crime-fighting, and sobbered up when he found a baby girl on his door step. After he got the girl DNA tested he discovered it was his daughter, and named her Ashley. He moved her, and himself out to a small town in Texas, and Frank began working on an oil rig. For several years he did this, but after his daughter's thirteenth birthday he decided it was time for the world's "Smile" to return. He got a day job in Steel, and him and Ashley moved out to the city. He told her he'd be working a nightshift job...
He couldn't have been more truthful...
