Franklin Peer

Franklin David Peer (February 11th, 1986), also known simply as Franklin Peer and his military nickname Inedible Pear is an UnitedTerra general officer. He is most well known for commanding the Terrain forces in Slumolia. He became the land forces' Chief of Staff upon a letter request to the then-President Ninjinian following the War in Robotpirateisland. He has since led Terrain forces against terrorist forces in Antarctica. As of 2020, he is one of the highest ranking military officials in UnitedTerra.

Early life
Peer was born on February 11th, 1986, in Snowgo, Olde Antarctica. Peer had struggled to have a normal life, especially due him and his parents being forced to migrate to the High Penguin segregation colony in Colonial Antarctica. Fredrick, Franklin's father, would end up being deleted in the Colonial Antarctica War on the side of Freezeland. A year after the end of the war, Franklin and his mother fled to the newly discovered UnitedTerra to start a new life. Not too long after moving to UnitedTerra, Franklin would become a mechanic and would take part in the craft for some years.

Early Military Service
Upon his 19th birthday, he decided to enlist for a land force mechanic job in the UnitedTerra land force branch. Due to the lack of mechanics in the branch at the time and because he was experienced at his craft, he easily rose the ranks. He would be designated commander of two mechanic platoons. In 2008, he began to become bored with his current trade in the land force and had a transfer to active service. When the Great Darktonian Pie War erupted, he was immediately dispatched to help out. His uniform was badly stained in the war, though. He would be one of the many troops sent into the Giant Swiss-Terrain Cookie War afterwards and would be delegated to the newly created Slumolia Command. A special command created to patrol and stabilize Slumolia.

Following the end of the Swiss-Terrain war, Peer would be promoted to Major and would actively take part in tons of scrimmages and small battles in the Southwest of Slumolia against the Slumolian government and the TaliBEAN. Throughout the next 3 years, Peer lead the offensive taking the majority of sYrup S1tY and begin the first advancement onto teH P4nc4KE. Peer had also occupied tons of smaller towns along the way.

Robotpirateisland and Later Military Service
Following his major victories within sYrup S1tY, Peer had became the new commander of the UnitedTerra forces in Slumolia and promoted to the post of Major General. In 2014, at the climax of the Robotpirateisland, Peer was sent in to help out and lead. He earned the nickname (the) Inedible Pear because defensive forces against Peer have difficulty of pushing him back. And, when they finally were able to, it costed the defenders more resources than Peer. It is misspelled on purpose.

With his victory, he was promoted to General and appointed as the first Chief of Staff of UnitedTerra's land forces. Peer would also be appointed as the head of UnitedTerra's anti-terrorist command around this time. Currently, Peer is serving as a de facto military governor of the Terrain-occupied territories in Slumolia.

Family
Franklin's father, Fredrick Peer (1958 - 1999), was born in Snowgo, Olde Antarctica. He was a mechanic and deputy district mayor of Snowgo. He had been a very loyal subject to the Air Kingdom during its existence. Following the STINC Conquest of Antarctica, Fredrick became an loyal Olde Antarctican in secret. He was wary of the Colonial Antarctica era from the start, being forced to move homes. He would join the rebels during the Colonial Antarctica War and would make it to Sergeant before unfortunately being deleted in battle.

Franklin's mother, Patty Magnifique (1961 - Present), was born in modern day Freezeland. Magnifique lived gracefully at her home. In 1984, she married Fredrick Peer. She would move in with him shortly after the marriage to Snowgo. After Colonial Antarctica was established, she and Fredrick fled to her old home in Freezeland. The year after Freezeland gained independence, she and Frank had moved to the newly founded UnitedTerra. She still does cooking to this day after all of these years for a living.

Political Views
Peer, despite agreeing a 12 year term creates a lot of stability, has said before that he'd like to see it shrunk to 6-8 years. He still believes that one term, though, should be the maximum.

In 2015, Peer was a strong supporter of ratifying the Connection Pact of The Zeta Connections and stated in a hearing to the UnitedTerra Parliament that "it'd be very beneficial to the Terrain state".

Peer is currently a member of the Cookie Baker's Party.
