important![/b]: Leo was kept in a remote area that is mostly off limits to others. The slaves there are selectively bred for intellect, beauty, and loyalty. Money buys power, and high power houses kept high powered slave. A slave since birth, he was brought up in an artisan working class-type environment where slaves have their place, but are given rights just as free people. He has had trouble adjusting to the Tether's iron fist. He believes that treating a slave with respect results in a better foundation for owner and slave.

Other

Previous Owners: Born into slavery to a wealthy family, he was trained from the ground up to become a slave worthy of his house title. While sailing home from a successful trade deal, the ship he and his master sailed on (along with 15 other crew members) lost a fight to a group of pirates. After sending four of the pirates to water-bogged graves, he was captured and sailed away as the ship burned in the distance, with all but him and another slave still aboard. The pirates gave him the name of the lost ship, Shackleton. Used as a deck hand, he was sullen and quiet, getting his work done when it was assigned and doing more in order to not be whipped. The pirates sold him at auction to a wealthy merchant, who kept him well fed and allowed him to continue to practice his skillset. The merchant decided to set sail to unload cargo of fine horses, leather, and cured meats. Once they had reached their destination, the merchant became quite ill and soon passed away. The remaining crew had no want or need of a slave as formidable and large as he, and sold him to the island they had landed on -- home of The Golden Tether.

OOC Info/Notes

Availability: It varies, but usually nights between 8pm-2am EST. I'm in school, work, and have a massive amount of homework, so I am rarely on during the week -- maybe a few hours at a time.

What are you looking for in a slave / slaver Roleplay: Character development, rich role playing. I would love to see him trained in arena combat including gladiator weapons, perhaps someone to get him to act extremely submissive.

What are your allowances for your character: Need consent to maim or kill. No consent needed for anything else.

Long Term/Short Term: Either

General Information

Character Description
Previous:
A human slave dressed in dark steel and heavy gold, with a wardrobe of masks that kept a well bred and curious face hidden from all but those who could afford to look. An imposing force whose heavy form parted crowds with ease, and eyes the type of green your sight begs for in the cold winter months. Devoted as a lapdog; never questioning, always loyal, he could carry two women anywhere their hearts desired[/b]: even to hell and back.

--
New:
Flames licked and cracked over the oiled sails of the Shackleton, the ship -- his ship -- which had raised and housed him from storm and frost alike. Sailed him from port to port, where he rubbed elbows with the craftsmen of kings, homing his skills so they ought bear the name of his original House. He floated through his dreams, as if he would rise the next morning to find the burns on his face and throat was merely the sun warming him as he daydreamed on deck. Even now, he woke in the middle of each night, head buzzing with the sweet smell of oiled linen burning on the water, the taste of blood still in his mouth.
