Name: Bobo Luter
Gender: Male
Age (When They Were Preserved in Ice): 17
What Year They Were Frozen Within Ice: 1621
Personality: Quiet and submissive. He tries to work hard, keep his chin up, and do whatever his authority tells him to. He rarely talks, and even when he does it’s quiet and more of a mumble than anything else.
He doesn’t like people talking to him, and he hates having nothing to do.
History: Bobo is/was a slave. He was taken from Africa, along with his family, and was shipped all the way to America on a disease ridden boat full of starving infants and crying mothers. He went through multiple auctions, but nobody wanted him because one of his hands was cut off during a punishment and the wound was infected. It was inconvenient, and easily ignored in a group of hundreds.
He learned some valuable medical knowledge as he tried to dress his wound on his own when he managed to have the time. He wanted to get off of the ship, and to do that, he had to become valuable.
Once his wound skinned over, and he eventually learned to only use his right hand with the same convenience of using two, he knew his time was up. But something was slightly concerning.
His mother had been trampled due to the highly packed conditions, and she didn’t survive the damage done to her ribs, and his father was on a different slave ship. That left him with his little sister…
His little, 1 year old sister.
That still kept his value low, and would keep it that way unless he did something to “get rid” of her. And he wanted to honor his mother, and her amazing and kind values, so he was not doing that.
It took a few more auctions, but eventually, he found somebody that was willing to buy him and his sister that was so weak he had to carry her with his stubby, skinny, lacking left arm.
This young man was surprisingly rich, and was kind and careless enough to have one of the slaves/nannies take care of his sister when he was working. Which was...All the time.
And while this young man, named Samuel Tailor, was thoughtful and careless with his money, which came with its benefits, the slave caretaker he had hired was terrible with his anger.
Bobo suffers many scars, too many to count, from lashings when he was too slow with his work or seemed to be stepping out of line. He shouted slurs and insults at Bobo for his disability, and overtime Bobo learned how to shut up, listen, and work.
Appearance (Photograph or Description): Bobo is lanky and skinny, but still muscular from work. His skin could almost be described as pure black, and he has extremely wide eyes with barely an iris or pupil. His back is coated in thick scars, and his wrists and ankles are pink with little skin from the rubbing of chains and cuffs. His hands and feet are blistered beyond repair, with broken and dirty nails.
He is completely bald, and only wears thin pants that appear as if they’re made of a potato sack.
His eyes always appear sad, or tired. They always express his emotion, and lately, those have been the only two he’s felt.
Other: Bobo is going to start out with his little sister. But, given my very short plan for her, she’s not going to require a form. She’s more of an attachment.
