— valor franklin (father; alive)
Augustus maintains a positive relationship with his father. He looks up to him and follows in his steps as a businessman, but due to his mother's influence Augustus has chosen to begin his own branch of business by selling soaps and other essentials. His father is supportive of Augustus' independence and has since then allowed his son access to one of his wagons, horses and ensures he is able to use his connections. Augustus does not refer to Valor as "dad" but calls him "father" out of formality. Valor is a busy man and in the past paid little attention to Augustus, but allowed his son to watch him conduct business. Augustus learnt pottery from his father as Valor is a sculptor of terracotta clay.
— beatrice franklin (mother; alive)
He is closest to his mother who happens to be heavily responsible for Augustus' strange nickname due to always threatening him with a single word - "soap" - when Augustus was found swearing. She is half German and taught Augustus how to speak her family's language. Having spent a lot of time with Beatrice, Augustus was inspired by his mother's love for organic essentials and has learnt how to make soaps, masks and other products. Beatrice frequently sends him letters.
— leonardo franklin (grandfather; deceased)
Leonardo Franklin acted almost like a replacement father at times. His grandfather, being of old age, often played with him when he was younger and taught him many stories about his family's rich history. Leonardo taught Augustus how to speak French as he believed it was simply a language all those of high class had to learn. He frequently took Augustus to see theatre productions and brought him to museums. He did, however, become very strict as Augustus got older. Augustus attended his grandfather's funeral when he was twenty-three.
— anderson queen (supplier; alive)
Anderson Queen has ties to the Franklin family as someone who owes them. For that reason, Queen's relationship with Augustus is sometimes rocky. However, they have come to agreements with trading and Queen supplies Augustus with honey and beeswax in return for Augustus' products which help deal with physical pain.
— bernard abernethy (friend; alive)
Few manage to find themselves a comrade to the notorious Soap. Nicknamed "Bear", Bernard and Augustus have been good friends since they were teenagers. Bear works as a chicken farmer but also has many other talents up his sleeve, being a jack-of-all trades. For that reason, Augustus respects his friend entirely and travels with him from time to time. They often trade products and work together on projects.

There are three methods to purchasing Franklin's goods.
1) Direct purchase in store.
2) Direct purchase by moving stall.
3) Delivery purchase via order.
DIRECT PURCHASE IN STORE
Franklin's goods are available for direct purchase in his store that is located within the Northstar District. There is no limit on how many goods may be bought at once and it can be requested for orders to be freshly made (though requesting so will take some time). All goods seen in Franklin's shop are the extent of all the types of products he has available. An advantage to shopping in Franklin's store is that the person will be able to reserve products so that Augustus will hold the item until collection.
DIRECT PURCHASE BY MOVING STALL
As he also functions as a travelling merchant, Franklin is able to carry a limited supply of goods to different towns in hopes of selling and doing business. However, because he will likely be far from base, goods are limited and should anyone be looking to purchase more than five items or more than three of the same items, he will encourage the shopper to order the rest or he will reject them. Franklin's moving stall carries a sample of all his products, but their availability is on rotation due to limited space (for example he may bring one soap but not the other). Items cannot be reserved and must be a then and there purchase.
DELIVERY PURCHASE VIA ORDER
Goods can be ordered through mail (refer to 'ordering via mail' subcategory) or by personally visiting Franklin's store (ordering at his moving stall works as well). If the order is of something in stock, goods may be delivered within a day to a week. If the order is of something currently unavailable, the goods may be delivered as quick as a week or as long as a month. Delivery orders may be rejected should the item list be too large and is paid upon delivery.
WHAT HE ACCEPTS FOR PURCHASE:
Augustus Franklin can willingly accept all kinds of things but mainly accepts:
• fresh produce (vegetables, fruits, meats, eggs)
• clothing (only clothes which fit him and men's only)
• cigarettes and alcohol
• perfumes
He will always accept:
• honey
• goat's milk
• coconuts (preferably coconut oil)
• olives (preferably olive oil)
• eucalyptus leaves
• aloe vera
• other ingredients he uses in his products
He will never accept:
• weapons (except for chopping knives)
• bones of animals or people
• live/dead sacrifices (why?)
