Slime
Strange name, yes. Given permission for it by Goss via the HelpDesk.
General:
- Race: Human, Svefra (Mixed Blood)
- Birthday & Age: 488 AV, Summer / 23
- Gender: Male
Physical:
- Well, let's be frank. He smells terrible. It's not exactly his fault, no showers for slaves, but even when washed he tends to smell like rotting wood and saltwater. He'll rarely take showers, not because he prefers it but simply because after living like he did, showers don't pop up in his mind.
- His body is lanky and thin. He stands at 5 ' 9. He appears emaciated and his ribs and backbone are visible through his pale skin. Regardless, he works hard and so his muscles are tight and strong. Bags under his eyes and a constant film of dirt under his crooked nails show his working life and he looks several years older than he is.
- His hair is short but clipped raggedly, with some spots longer than others. He doesn't like long hair ever since the crew almost used his hair to hang him from the crow's nest.
- His face has seen better days with a smattering of stubble and a permanently swelled and crooked nose, Slime has a hard time smelling anything and he's missing his left ear, marking him a slave. Scar after scar crisscross his skin, the most prominent one being the x on his chest that runs from each shoulder down to each hip. If one didn't know better you might mistake him for undead.
Personal
- Personality: Shy and unsure of himself, Slime has been locked up long enough that he's never discovered who he is. He sometimes catches glimpses of who he thinks he might be when he's meditating for peace in the tumultuous churning of the lower decks.
He sees a man that doesn't go back on promises, a cowardly man with a good heart, a shy man who wants to be more, who wants to step into the limelight and a man who's cunning. Slime feels vaguely that this man might be him but he can't be sure. He could always hear the men in the barracks above him, getting drunk and singing songs and chants and he enjoyed singing silently with them from below decks but doesn't have much of a singing voice.
- Ethics – A man never really has to decide his own ethics when he's down below, day in, day out. You just live.
- Likes – Days of Rest, The Open Air, The Sea
- Dislikes – Shackles, Mopping the Latrine, Being Confined
- Goals: To Survive, To Know Who He Truly Is
History:
For so long as Slime remembers, he's been below deck. Other slaves come and go but Slime remains. He simply does his duties and then returns to his cage.
If Slime could remember though, he'd know that he was taken in as an indentured servant when he was five years old. His mother and father were merchants. They were small-time with a crew of only five plus themselves and their child. Easy targets.
The pirates came while the ship was anchored. They disguised themselves as a peaceful vessel and gained diplomatic entry onto the ship, offering barter. They then revealed themselves as pirates and quickly stormed over the crew. Not one witness could live to tell other Svefra of this raid and the pirates made certain of that. Not even the few Tavan that traveled with the small ship were allowed to survive. Slime's mother stayed behind in her cabin to defend her child. She was always a fierce warrior and, driven to rage by the danger to her child and the death of her husband, she killed several pirates in the raid.
But even she fell and in her dying moments, she saw the Pirate Captain take her child and swear to her that the child would slave to pay off the work debts of every pirate she killed that day. It was multiple lifetimes worth of hard labor. It was a death sentence.
The child was taken aboard the pirate's ship, renamed and put to work immediately doing whatever small chores it was capable of. And that's where Slime's been for the last eighteen years, below deck, slaving off a blood debt he doesn't even know exists.
