Franz kinda started out broken. That was the original idea behind Unnamed Mercenary. I had taken this character who seemingly had everything and tore it away, leaving only a few scraps and an urge to get back what he'd lost. And he's done a good job of that!
But it's not particularly difficult to push him over the edge again. Despite the friendly face, or the sometimes mean look, he's still desperately trying to find his place in this strange country that isn't his home. The people worship these weird gods and they throw spells at each other all the time. And to make things worse, his family's not even there. He's been attacked and he's lashed out as well. Perhaps the worst that could be said to him is that he's not even trying. There's been so much of an internal struggle, he just wears a smile most of the time. Anything he can do to keep the people he's started to care about out of his issues.
So to make him flip out? Tell him it was for nothing. Or that his family is dead or wouldn't want him back. He already sees himself as a failure and monster. It shouldn't take too much more to drive him over the edge once again.
Or for extra fun, call him out on his eating habits. Body image issues are fun!
