► Background

Frank has always been slightly smaller than his peers, and comes from a large family of various siblings. Due to his smaller size, he was often picked on, and the target of much hazing and ribbing from his family. Frank however, is also rather inventive and this constant torment over his small stature inspired him to create a charging machine that physically connects to his body, augmenting it to store up kinetic energy from moving around, releasing it all on contact with something. This breakthrough allowed Frank to level the playing field and hit potentially even harder than others ever could.

Shortly after leaving home once he became an adult, Frank would find a lonely looking man who couldn't be more than a couple years older than him, laying face down in the dirt of some random alley. After waking him, the man begged Frank for some money of any kind saying "I'll bet you anything in the world that you will give me just a small amount of money and our lives will change forever." Frank chuckled at this and felt bad for the man so he gave him a couple dollars, and the man stood up, introduced himself as Hubert, and said the two of them were going to go to the nearest casino to turn that money he gave him into something far greater. Reluctant, and also skeptical, Frank followed Hubert into the Casino, and the two had quite a night, between the success and luck Hubert was seeing, and Frank finally being able to get a good taste of the real world. The pair eventually found themselves kicked out of the Casino, as Hubert won one too many games for the House's liking.

Upon getting thrown out, the two just so happened to be face to face with someone Frank had never seen before, and much to his surprise, they were the same size as him. But on either side of this person stood two very tall henchmen looking bodyguards. This individual, Frank would come to find out, was a man known only as "Don." Frank then watched as Don had a conversation with Hubert, demanding some kind of money that was owed. Despite their winnings of the night, the amount Hubert had was simply not enough to cover the debt. Don then looked up at his two henchmen, then nodded. Hubert was suddenly assaulted by the pair, as they laid waste to his knees. Frank, not wanting to see his new friend hurt like this, ran away as fast as he could, as Don laughed heartily at Hubert's new little friend running away. After turning his back though, Don would be hit by the strongest punch he had ever felt. As Frank had run away, building up his charge, and unleashing the maximum amount of potential he could store, all into one punch at Don, who would then call off the attack on Hubert and instead turned his attention to Frank, who despite trying to put up a good fight, was simply outnumbered and brutally beaten. Don telling Frank "I like you's kid, you's is pretty tough, but ever lay a finger on me again, and yous'll go home to a bloody mess in place of whatever you's call a family."

After the dust settled, Frank pulled himself together and helped Hubert to a nearby clinic where they both were tended to by the resident healers. Frank would go on to try and raise some money for his friend to get new knees, finding a flier for a brand new fighting arena that would be opening soon, and heading there to sign up.

Now as one of the smaller competitors on the roster, Frank makes use of his small size by generating stored damage using his Charge ability. Every second he isn't dealing damage or getting hit, he is building up damage that releases all at once upon contact with an enemy. Having made his debut in Season 0, he wouldn't go on to win any prize money, and he spent the first seasons without his friend. Come to find out however, that despite not raising any money, Hubert somehow found a way to make more money gambling at the hospital he was at and using those funds, he had the hospital give him new reinforced metal knees. Now as of Season 3, the pair entered the Grand Ball Cup tournament under the team name: The Numbers. Not satisfied however with where they ended up during that tournament, Hubert decided to hire the Arena's resident head chef, Fiorella, to join their team as a sort of personal cook. Now the three descend into the Boss Gauntlet under the team name, Cooking the Books.

Unarmed use their bodies primarily to do damage. Any contact with an unarmed body does damage to another ball, with unarmed collisions rewarding the faster ball with doing damage.

Unarmed Speed Ramp
Passive

All Unarmed have a passive speed gain, that resets upon taking or making a hit.
