Aikido: A Japanese martial art, he learned within his service with the German military . It allows Frank to attack his opponent while also protecting them. It involves using the opponent’s own strength through various movements to turn their own attack against them, enabling him to throw them to the ground and locking up their joints to prevent them from moving.
German Ju-Jutsu: A martial art skill he learned while attending an academy in Germany as a youth. It is a combination of Jujustu,Judo, Karate, and several other styles of martial arts that use a technique of atemi, kicks and knee-strikes, throws, ground, elbow, and armed techniques in various styles to promote defense against multiple opponents while covering all distances

Trapping 2: Undercover techniques that involve surveillance of a criminal target and knowing exactly where they’ll be to launch the trap to capture them and take them to jail. This usually involves a quick grapple and handcuffs, and it may occasionally lead to Frank having to knock them out.
Personality: Frank has a limited life cycle and ages like a regular human despite having Aleantylar ancestry and being the father of a son with pure Aleantylar blood. He can be injured and often needs time to recover from his injuries.
He can be a bit of an ass to someone who pisses him off. When it comes to dealing with hardened criminals or those who happily promote dangerous activities, he can be cold and hard core when questioning them. Like his son, Frank is allergic to bees, but it is mild, thus only causing him to become a little ill with a lot of itching that tends to make him miserable. He keeps allergy pills on hand as much as possible.
He has a bit of a temper from his years imprisoned and tortured by Peptin and his crew, but only lets it out when push comes to shove and shove comes to kicking the crap out of someone’s neck when they deserve it.
He tends to get overheated at times due to high blood pressure and thus prefers to avoid high heat as much as possible. His body has become used to ice and cold, so he prefers it overall as it gives him some relief. He has had to introduce other foods into his diet to help with the high blood pressure and also takes Cyclosporine to raise it to the proper levels.

Appearance: History: Frank was born in Bonn, Germany in 1982 as an alpha to Charlone and Eva Copiel. He grew up in Berlin, Germany with a sister, Haila, an omega, and attended the Raamstand München Academy when he turned six years old. There at the academy he learned military protocol, academics, and martial arts training. As an alpha, Frank never struggled with the desire to mate throughout his life when it became apparent that "Alpha" was his secondary gender. His constant focus on martial arts and academics helped to suppress any natural urges by helping him to take his mind off it. That was until he met Hannah Hirsch.
He graduated from the academy in 2001. In 2002, he also met Hannah Hirsch, an omega, who was an only child of Rudolf and Anneliese Hirsch. Frank's need for a mate about exploded then, and he spent every chance he could get with Hannah. Hannah, while attracted to him, didn't let Frank touch her at first because of her upbringing to stay a virgin until marriage. She allowed him to begin to court her six months later after they first met. Even then, she stuill didn't allow him to touch her in any
sexual way until he agreed to marry her. Frank had no problem respecting Hannah's wishes, and it didn't even phase him in the slightest, thus being a true gentleman who was capable of controlling his own urges with the help of some suppression medication. In 2003 they were married in the military chapel of the Deutsche Marine land base. A two-week honeymoon within Silkeborg, Denmark would begin a new era within their lives, as they finally and fully bonded to one another.
Frank’s newly wife Hannah conceived during that two-week period but the pregnancy would go unnoticed for quite some time. Upon returning back to Berlin, Frank accepted a job as a recruiter for the Deutsche Marine and for four months worked on land. At six months Hannah showed signs of pregnancy for the first time. It was estimated she was six months pregnant, though physicians were quite unsure of how it was possible she had no previous signs.
Frank was worried what this might mean for the baby, but tests would reveal it was a healthy baby boy, but very small. Hannah was kept in the hospital for a month to ensure everything would go smoothly. During that time, Frank’s position moved to the sea where he decided to man the seas on a fishing boat. In reality and secretively, Frank had accepted a job with the IDDA at the insistence of his commanding officer. His work would allow him to operate by the seas under the guise of an ordinary fisherman for several years. Hannah would join him by the time she was seven months pregnant. One month later, Hannah would give birth to their son. They named him Thunder at the thunderstorm that erupted over the skies at the time of his birth.
Life on the ship was not easy for the small Copiel family. While Hannah cared for Thunder below decks, Frank worked long hours, both for the IDDA and to catch their food. Hannah needed more food to enable more breast milk for their son, and often had vegetables and fruits delivered to the ports they docked at. There was a secret that Frank and Hannah kept between them; the gifts their son had been born with. Just a touch from the tiny infant would heal a wound, and any wounds their son received by accident would heal immediately with no scarring. There was another matter they noticed; every time Thunder was hungry or upset, scared, or anything, a storm would always erupt, or something electrical would malfunction within the ship. Thunder could also touch live wires without getting hurt and seemed quite happy and mesmerized of any electrical current. Frank would often need to stop his work to take out a live wire from Thunder’s mouth lest he choke on it.
Over the next some years, Frank continued his work as the investigator for dangerous activities and brought to justice seven-hundred and fifty individuals responsible for organized crime, terrorism, and drug cartels, just to name a few. During this, he and Hannah educated Thunder with electrokinetic training (it was very difficult), his alphabet with the diphthong and constant pairs, and how to read and write. Frank also taught him aikido, a martial arts he learned at the academy. Despite the work for the IDDA and training/educating Thunder, Frank and Hannah had to deal with Thunder’s mischief. The little boy would toss shoes and apparel over the side of the ship and once clogged up the toilet by tossing in the fish they had caught and stored beneath the decks. Frank had to learn more patience than ever because of Thunder’s adventurous ways, but it did not come easy.
Often the small family took trips to small towns in-between their travels between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea where they purchased supplies and visited galleries, malls, museums and cathedrals. They visited national parks as well and the forests where Thunder would happily scamper up trees, much to Hannah’s disapproval. Frank never seemed to mind it, and he would sometimes join his son in the trees, once he managed to climb up. Thunder was like a little squirrel, or a monkey; Frank was not.
Despite the challenges life presented to him, Frank was very happy. However, by the time Thunder was eight years old they decided to enroll him into the Raamstand München Academy in Munich, Germany where Frank had attended and graduated from. This was because of two reasons; the first being Frank had received a warning their lives could be in danger, the second was because they wanted their son to have a better life. It was considered at first to send the boy to the Americas where Charlone and Eva had moved to just after Frank and Hannah had married, but neither believed that Charlone and Eva were ready to handle a special child at their age; not with the bouts of electrokinesis that would terrify them.
Arrangements were made and they enrolled Thunder into the academy and returned to the sea. Frank resumed his work for the IDDA and launched an investigation of the danger that was mentioned of. During periods of rest the two would visit Thunder in the academy to visit him and to spoil him with what they could. It was in 2012 just after Christmas when they were attacked by the crime-lord Peptin Haologisch with his own little army behind him. Peptin was essentially a half-demon that had power over the current sea area. It was this power that caused the Menietta SSR1 Ship to crash upon rocky crags, thus causing Frank and Hannah to jump into the freezing waters below.
Both lost consciousness and when Frank awoke, he was held within a celled chamber deep beneath the earth. For days Frank waited for one of his captors to come down, but no one did. Nauseated, sick with grief and worry, and having no idea where Hannah was, Frank would often lapse in and out of consciousness. His captors, despite never seeing him, would feed him small amounts of food just to keep him alive. Later on, they probed him for information and it would be the first time he would ever see them face-to-face. For several years they kept Frank as their prisoner, refusing to release him until he gave them information or better, joined them. In all that time, Frank never revealed any information to them and played the poor, dumb fisherman.
It was some years later when his captors had had enough and had beaten him severely in the hopes to kill him off. They dumped Frank on the side of the road in Abinsk, Russia. He was found by the Russian Police and transported to the hospital where he would spend an additional several years recovering from his injuries and overcoming amnesia. Upon recovery he was able to get in touch with his former employer and set up an immediate search for Hannah. When he was released from the hospital, an investigation would tell him that one of his co-workers, Dietre Hamblinford was responsible for giving away the Copiel location upon the seas. Dietre was arrested by the IDDA and placed in maximum security. A questioning later would reveal that Dietre had no information about Hannah. Frank returned to work full-time, mostly to seek for his missing wife.
Frank wanted to get in touch with Thunder, but decided it was best to forgo it in case his enemies were watching. No knowledge was better for the time being, despite how much it all hurt him. At night when he laid down to sleep, he would think of his family, wondering if they were all right, what they were doing. He knew Thunder was safe though, and that was the important thing, but Hannah he was most concerned about because it was unknown whether she was dead or alive, or even if she were being tortured. Frank no longer operated by sea but directly at a base within Abinsk, Russia for the next few years.
Just recently, Frank’s job at the IDDA moved him to Japan where he was to connect with the IDDA base there under the command of Mr. Jiro Satoshi, a well likeable guy and the best commanding officer for the IDDA Frank had ever seen. When things settled in, he sent for his son Thunder Copiel to come live with him. Sadly, he was never able to find Hannah Copiel. Frank believes she is alive out there, somewhere, and being bonded to her, is that reason why he refuses to date another woman or get married.
(I hope I did this right. It's been a while since I've done a bio for myself. I tried to get as much right and connected to Thunder's bio, which I had to make some changes to to fit this one. For some reason the images weren't uploading to the gallery for me, so I used my own urls for the images.)
