OOC: Here's a little information for y'all from the player of Franz Liebkind. I am not Will Ferrell nor am I Franz Liebkind (which is a fictional character, so I hope you wouldn't assume this). The character of Franz Liebkind belongs to Mel Brooks as does his story. I improvised a bit with his history, however. Anyways, I hope I can play Franz as best as I can...seeing as the original Franz account hasn't been accessed in forever... Thanks!
Franz Liebkind was born in the Bavarian Alps, on January 30th, 1948 to two neo-Nazis who dwelled within a secret organization of their own kind. Because of Franz’s birth, they were forced to take leave from the organization, finding their way into Berlin, and living there for five years. Franz grew up a rather insecure child, but an aggressive one. He spent his days working in the harbors of Berlin, catching fish to feed his family as well as tend to his father, who fell ill at the age of 47 with a deadly case of the flu. Eventually, Berndt Liebkind, passed away at 49, two years after diagnosis.
Franz soon became rather independent from his mother who, shortly after Berndt’s death, fell into a deep depression, becoming rather ill herself, but with a more mental sickness than a physical one. Gertrude Liebkind was soon hospitalized, leaving twelve-year-old Franz to himself, to survive within the busy city of Berlin, Germany.
Franz kept himself satiated by working for various businesses, doing various odd jobs. He never stuck to one particular place, and usually had more than three jobs at once. It was difficult, but he managed, counting the days that his mother had been in the hospital. Eventually, she too vanished from the living, leaving Franz as the only living member of his rather small family.
Berlin was difficult, opportunities were scarce, and Franz Liebkind, then at age twenty two, decided to take the initiative, and flee to the one land he knew that was filled with openings. America. It took him three months to plan out his escape to freedom, knowing that getting into America without consequence or price wouldn’t be simple. Weaseling his way onto a cargo ship to Ellis Island, he arrived on June 2, making deals with various shady men to make his way into the very heart of New York City.
The first day upon arriving, Liebkind spent his time searching for a shelter. Any shelter. He came up empty handed, unfortunately, and ended up spending his first night on a concrete bench within Central Park, covered only by the clothes on his back. By morning, he was ready for another search, but this time not coming up empty handed. Franz discovered a small apartment, which the concierge reluctantly agreed to let him stay for a night or two.
Liebkind made his home in the small apartment building, finding something of a sanctuary atop the uninhabited and unused roof, and making friends with the local wildlife as well. His love for the grey birds, pigeons, which most of the city disregarded as a typical everyday sight, thus developed. He built sets of cages with his own hands, finishing easily, and thus creating a home for the birds he adored. At age 35, he was the “pigeon man”, known mainly for his birds, as well as his odd attire, which clearly reflected his heritage. In his near middle age, he enjoyed wandering the streets of New York, absorbing the sights, but keeping his distance from the inhabitants. The people of New York city were misunderstanding, and odd. Their looks alone were enough to have them keep their distance from the strange German man that wandered the streets with slews of pigeons around him and his home. Eventually, Franz learned to stay away from them, spending longer periods of time within his own apartment, and up on the rooftop with his birds.
Liebkind’s heritage was never lost despite the drastic change in scenery, his love for the history of Germany protruding at any chance it received. He developed a favor for Adolf Hitler, having had interest in the man ever since his childhood. It didn’t take long for the admiration of Hitler to become a full blown obsession, eventually producing a script of Franz’s adoration for the once German Führer. The script, entitled Springtime for Hitler, once finished, was tossed aside, easily forgotten by the preoccupied man. A few months after its completion, it was found once again, and Liebkind, despite his better judgment, was submitted to an anonymous producer, one that Franz had obviously never heard of, but he figured it was worth a shot. After the submission, the script was forgotten once again.
Fate soon caught up to Liebkind, by the means of the two men, Max Bialystock and Leopold Bloom, two mismatched Broadway producers who, surprisingly and unknowingly, decided to use Springtime for Hitler in their scheme to illegally make millions, unbeknownst to Franz. But blinded by the sudden recognition of his script, Franz agreed to have the play produced by the two men, and soon enough, the three were business partners.
After rigorous casting, practice and other necessities, Liebkind himself was cast as Hitler, a rather respectable role, he thought, and the play was set to open on the night of August 25th, with Franz Liebkind starring in the lead role. But fate wouldn’t have it. That night, the star fell down a flight of stairs, breaking his leg, and making him unable to act in the opening show. The responsibility was then left to the enthusiastic director of the production, Roger DeBris, who pulled it off with brilliance, much to the dismay of the two producers, as well as Liebkind himself. In a blinding fury, after the premiere of the play, he barged into the office of Bialystock and Bloom, attempting to kill every last one of the participants, and even at one point himself. But unfortunately, he failed at both attempts, and was carted off to Sing Sing, the local, rather musical prison. There, with the help of both Max and Leo, they created the play Prisoners of Love, which was put on Broadway following the release of the three men from prison, putting Franz Liebkind on the map of famous Broadway playwrights.
Franz Liebkind remained in his small apartment, despite the incoming riches from the amazing turnouts of his plays. His rooftop aviary remains his second passion, only second to writing plays to be produced by his practically life-long business partners, Bialystock and Bloom. Franz Liebkind, though rather aggressive, exuberant, and even borderline insane at times, had remained a famous man throughout New York City, and continues to live out his life in satisfaction.
