Franklin Clinton is one of the three main protagonists of Grand Theft Auto V. He is voiced by and modelled after Shawn "Solo" Fonteno.
What Makes Him a Seinen Hero?[]
- Heroic/Anti-Heroic: Franklin saves his best friend Lamar Davis from the Ballas when the latter gets kidnapped.
- Cynical: Franklin is rather suspicious about the intentions of others.
- Insightful: Unlike Lamar, Franklin is shown to have plenty of common sense and consistently reflects on his lifestyle as a street hustler.
- Realistic: In contrast to Lamar, who wants to live in a fantasy where he plays gangster from the hood out of nostalgia, Franklin chooses to live in the present, put his criminal ways behind and make his ambitions come true.
- Has Killer Instinct: Given his lifestyle as a gangster, Franklin shows no mercy when it comes to killing his enemies.
- Tragic Past: Growing up without knowing his father and with a mother who overdosed from her cocaine addiction when he was a little boy, Franklin moved in with his maternal grandparents when he adopted the street lifestyle.
