He also appears in the original ''[[Drawn to Life]]'' in the [[Developer's Grove]], and in ''[[Drawn to Life: Two Realms]]'' as '''[[Franco Key]]'''.

He is one of the main composers in the [[Developer's Grove]] when the games were being developed, and during development of ''Drawn to Life: Two Realms'', he was kidnapped alongside [[Mildew]] and [[Fanon:Joseph Tringali|Joseph Tringali]] by [[Fanon:Drakon|Drakon]] and the [[Fanon:Droogle Leader|Droogle Leader]]. After being freed, he agrees to let [[Fanon:The Void|The Void]]'s residents continue living, and he decides to move to [[Belleview]] with Mildew and [[Aly]] to look out for [[Fanon:GenericChallenge/Stories|GenericChallenge]]. Later, he would join Aly, [[Fanon:Willham|Willham]], and [[Fanon:Shadow Mari|Shadow Mari]] in hunting down [[Fanon:Jeremiah Slaczka|Miah]], donning the '''[[Fanon:Daniel James|Daniel James]]''' persona to explore Belleview. After finding Miah and GenericChallenge impersonating Miah, he would return to his own time.

−

Some decades later, he would continue his search for GenericChallenge, appearing in Belleview one year after [[Fanon:Mr. Row|Mr. Row]] died, being confronted by [[Uncle Owen]]. Daniel James explains the nature of their universe to Owen, and afterwards, he attempts to return to the Grove but fails, having to live his years in Belleview as both Franco Key and Daniel James until he was caught up to his own time.

====Life as Daniel James====

+

=====2015=====

Stuck as Daniel James, he decides to move up the Uptown [[Belleview]], where he lives for the next few years. During [[Mike]] and [[Aly]]'s graduation, he returns to Belleview to drink with Uncle Owen, telling him that the [[Shadow]]s were likely gone for some time, and that they should continue to search for [[Fanon:GenericChallenge/Stories|GenericChallenge]], exchanging phone numbers.

+

=====2025=====

+

Over the next decade, the two become good friends and decide one night to go out for Cesaros. Mike and Heather come with them, but Aly and her family happen to show up as well. Daniel James runs into a closet, and Aly follows him in, asking if he was on another mission. He begins to remember his life as a developer and beings to break down. Aly asks him about Willham, Shadow Mari, and Joe specifically, and he begs her to leave him alone. She agrees, and Daniel James is kicked out of the closet by an [[Fanon:Carnival Attendant|employee]].

+

Later that night, he thinks about his new life and determines to live his life to the fullest.

====Returning to Franco Key====

−

Some time later, he meets up with [[Fanon:Nolan/Stories|Nolan]], GenericChallenge, and [[Fanon:Eric Kozlowsky|Eric Kozlowsky]], all of whom had been ejected from the Grove with the [[Fanon:Stylus|Stylus]]. They all ~~help~~ explain that the Grove was shut down for good, though [[Mike]] and his son [[Fanon:Nolan Row|Nolan Row]] walk in before they can come up with a plan.

Line 254: Line 277:

* All of David Franco's personas have two names.

* In early drafts of ''[[Fanon:Blank Slates 3|Blank Slates 3]]'', Franco was going to be the one to uncover [[Fanon:GenericChallenge/Stories|GenericChallenge]], rather than having him be found off-screen.

−

** This would have given him a fourth persona named '''Ano'i''' in the [[Galactic Jungle]].

** This would have given him a fourth persona named '''Ano'i''', meaning "desire", in the [[Galactic Jungle]].

* In an early draft of ''[[Fanon:Blank Slates 3|Blank Slates 3's]]'' epilogues, [[Fanon:Tank|Tank]] would've been the one to meet [[Fanon:Nolan Row|Nolan Row]] in the Record Store with Franco.
