Xianghua Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (Marin and his 19 year old sister, Aurora.) The year is 2057. The setting is Zlatna, Alba, central Transylvania, Romania. After World War III, the entire country of Romania has been torn apart. There is a civil war going on, between the wealthy, and the gypsies. Many wealthy families keep 3-6 gypsies as slaves. Slaves are branded on the right hand side of their waistline, with the word "sclav", Romanian for "slave". Current Slaves: - Stella Voskoboynikov: 37 years old, female, tends to the farm animals. Large, standing at 6'0 feet tall, and rather muscular for a woman, with long blonde hair, and dark blue eyes. Very nice, she's been with the family almost her whole life, and took care of the uke as a baby. - Haralambie Constantinescu: 44 years old, male, works outside, picking cotton. Rather short, only standing at 5'11, but very thick. He has salt and pepper hair, with a long white beard, and almost black eyes. Often reminisces about life before the war. - Ladislau Balan: 25 years old, male, kills the animals for meat. Average height, at 6'0, and extremely thin, from lack of eating, as he is a vegetarian. He has short blonde hair, and hazel eyes. He often faints on the job, sometimes from disgust, other times from malnutrition. - Chun Li Xianghua: 24 years old, female, does all the cooking. Rather short, only 5'5, and thin. A very good cook, and Chinese immigrant, she has short black hair and dark brown eyes. She cries a lot at night, missing her hometown, and asking herself why she left for Romania. (Aurora would be used for cleaning, and just the owner's personal servant, Marin would be used to do everything the others are too weak for.) Full Name: Marin Gogol Salomin Nickname/Commonly Used Name: Called "Mary", affectionately. Age: 27 Height: 6'7 Weight: 251 lbs Body type: Muscular Hair colour: Black Eye colour: Deep blueish green Hometown: Vicovu de Sus, Suceava, Romania Date of Birth: February 15, 2030 Gender: Male Family Members: Aurora Elise Salomin, sister, 18; Eugene Salomin, father, 54, deceased; Maria Katz, mother, 43, slave elsewhere. Religion: Jewish Occupation: Gypsy slave Strengths: Very strong, can run extremely fast, taller and larger than most men. A rather smooth talker. Weaknesses: Too defiant for his own good, slightly sociopathic, and, due to his slavery upbringing, is illiterate. Personality: Rebellious and defiant, Marin doesn't take orders from anybody. He is known by slave traders for his violent outbursts, insurgent attitude, and physical strength. Regardless of his behaviour, he is a very valuable slave, because of his physical prowess. He has many whip scars on his back, as a result of being disobedient. Though on the outside, he is cold, and even downright rude, he is very kind on the inside, going so far as to misbehave so he will suffer a whipping instead of his younger sister, Aurora. History/Background: Marin Gogol Salomin, known by his friends as Mary, was born on February 15, 2030, in the small Romanian town of Vicovu de Sus, Suceava, to parents Eugene Salomin, and Maria Katz. He was raised Jewish, and still is to this day, though there are times when he doubts the presence of a god. Everyone in his family is a gypsy, and he was born into slavery. When he was 7, his father died, at the hands of his master, after attacking him for groping his wife. Marin felt it was his responsibility to take care of his mother, who was torn apart over the whole thing. The same master ended up molesting Maria, impregnating her, and Aurora was born when Marin was 8 years old. The master felt that Maria was now useless, and sold her for cheap, leaving 8 year old Marin to take care of a newborn baby. He raised her as a slave boy. When he was 12, and Aurora was 4, he started showing a rebellious streak, speaking out against his master, and even getting struck a few times. He was sold, and Aurora was thrown in for free, to another master. He got his first whipping when he was 14, and Aurora, now 6, had witnessed it, and it still scars her to this day. They stayed with that master until he died, when Marin was 27, and Aurora was 19. They were put in a slave auction, Marin being priced at a whopping 500,000 dollars, for his physical strength, size, and endurance, even though 75,000 dollars had been chopped off, due to his disobedience; and Aurora at 125,000, because she is a young, virgin girl. ~~~~ "33,000 dollars, going once, going twice... Sold, to the gentleman in the back!" the auctioneer announced, pointing at the old, wealthy man standing in the back of the room. The young woman standing on the stage stepped down, her hands handcuffed behind her back, dressed in gypsy clothing, as she walked, shamefully, over to the man, hanging her head. He wrapped his arms around her waist, smirking. She shivered. "Our next duo is quite a prize," the auctioneer said. "A 27 year old man, standing at 6'7, weighing 251 pounds, all muscle, and a 19 year old virgin!" The audience roared, as an incredibly tall, muscular man, with chin length black hair, and deep turquoise eyes, shirtless, revealing the many whip scars on his back, stepped from the red curtain, onto the stage, his hands cuffed behind his back. He was followed by a shorter girl, maybe about 5'10, with long black hair, in an elaborate gypsy dress, with large purple eyes that looked at the floor. Her hands were also cuffed. "Marin and Aurora Salomin," the auctioneer announced. "I'll start the bidding, for both, at 625,000 dollars!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperscreed Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Name:Partemio Shana Nickname: Parry Age: 18 yrs Height: 5' 4'' Weight: 113 lbs Body Type: Small, lean Hair Color: Blonde Eye Color: Brown Date Of Birth: March 12 Gender: Male Occupation: Heir to the Shana fortune Strengths: Strategist, extensive knowledge on survival (Haveing picked up an interest in reading survival guides when he was young), a powerful memory and is very resistant to illness. Weaknesses: Physically pretty weak, can easily become resentful and a bit of a slob. Personality: Partemio is a very nice person when his father's biting influence isn't causing him to be reserved and quiet. He is a potentionally very bitter person when it comes to the grudges he has. Partemio having been raised from birth to be elegant and to inherit the Shana fortune hasn't had too many childhood experiances beyond refurbishing a covered wagon with a butler who retired shortly after. Family: Giovanni Shana (Father) and Dalilah Shana (Mother) *********************************************** Giovanni raised up a small circular sign with the number thirty-seven in red letters on it to signal his wish to purchase the slaves. "Dear." Dalilah said in a warning tone and her eyes narrowed. She saw the scars on the man; the shure sign of a troublemaker and she didn't need to hear about from him later. "I can break him, honey." Giovanni responded, the endearment toward his wife coming out as coldly as her's had toward him. He repeatedly raised the sign in his hand to out do those around him Their son, Partemio, stood beside them, his eyes glued to the ground as he patiently waited for his parents to finish; he hated theses auctions.

Xianghua Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 "625,000 dollars, going once, twice... sold! To Mr. Shana!" the auctioneer announced, pointing towards the Shanas. He patted Aurora's bottom as the sibling began walking. Marin scowled, lunging towards the plump man, swinging a handcuffed fist, when two guards jumped on stage, tazing the man. "Come on, brother," Aurora said softly, gently nudging her brother. Marin glared at the auctioneer and the guards, as he and his sister walked towards the Shanas, heads down. "You might want this for Marin, here," a guard said, handing Giovanni a shock collar and small remote. Marin glared at them behind a curtain of bangs.

Viperscreed Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 "I'll make good use of it." Giovanni said, taking the shock collar from the gaurd and immediatley snapping it around Marin's neck. "If this backfires, don't dare bring it to me." Dalilah said walking briskly back to their car. Giovanni grumbled something and turned to the slaves for a moment. "Follow us." He commanded the slaves before he started following his wife. Partemio toke a moment to look at Marin. 'Those scars...' He thought looking at the other's back; he shoke the thoughts that followed from his mind before following his parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xianghua Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Marin and Aurora followed, unable to get in the car, as they were still handcuffed. Tears ran down Aurora's eyes. Marin whispered something to her, having to bend down to reach her ear. She sniffed and nodded, wiping her eyes with both handcuffed hands.

Viperscreed Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 "Here, the slaves seem to always like you anyhow." Giovanni said, tossing the keys to Partemio, his vioce filled with a sort of distain. Partemio toke the keys and undid Aurora's cuffs first. They weren't even properly introduced yet and he already hated seeing her cry. "I'm sorry." Partemio said softly as he undid Marin's cuffs.

Xianghua Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Aurora looked at Partemio through her hair, with large purple eyes, her look was almost sympathetic, she could tell he was different. Marin, on the other hand, did not give but a damn, and saw Partemio the exact same way he saw his father. The siblings got in the backseat, Aurora gripping Marin's hand tightly.

Viperscreed Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Partemio got in the front with his parents and the car drove off to their plantation. Upon arriving they got out with Aurora and Marin. "Parry please show them where they'll be staying and their jobs." Dalilah told Partemio who nodded; her voice for once clear of spit. "Please follow me." Partemio said to Aurora and Marin, giving a small, polite bow to them which earned him a firm, scolding thwack on the back of his head from Giovanni. "Don't bow to them." Giovanni said coursely before heading toward the house, Partemio's glare burrowing into his back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xianghua Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Aurora hugged Marin's arm, which was about as thick as her frail body, as she looked over the plantation. She had never worked on one this big before, and was terrified. She felt Marin's arm rise when Giovanni had smacked his son, but she quickly held it down, though it was unavoidable, she would at least try to keep Marin from getting into trouble on his first day. She pulled him, as she followed Partemio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperscreed Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Partemio lead them to a large old barn withered with age though a few patches had new paint. "This will be your living quarters with the others, I'll be sure to bring more blankets before lights out." He said, turning to them. "Though it can get a bit cold so if you need anymore just ask and I'll see what I can do." He said, smiling softly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xianghua Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Aurora smiled warmly at Partemio, Marin just glared at him. "We don't need your pity," he said grimly, his voice was incredibly deep and raspy, the deep part most likely just happened, being a man of his size, but it was obvious that the raspy part of it was from yelling, and smoking.

Viperscreed Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Partemio looked at Marin for a moment before contining, not wanting to argue with him over this. "Father wants Marin working in butchering, our butcher isn't doing very well recently and mother wants you working in the house." Partemio explained to Aurora.

Xianghua Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Aurora nodded, shooting Marin a look before he could say anything rude. "Th-thank you," she said softly to Partemio. "I know you think this is wrong. It is wrong. Everything about this is wrong... But just... thank you." She bowed her head slightly, Marin just looked off into the distance.

Viperscreed Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 "T-there's no need to thank me, Aurora." Partemio said, stammering. "I'm just doing what I can for the moment." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xianghua Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 "Well... Thank you anyways," Aurora said, smiling sadly. Marin mumbled something under his breath. After Partemio showed them around, they followed him back to the barn. "What time do we get started, and what time do we stop?" Aurora asked. "Or do we just work 16 hours straight here?"

Xianghua Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Aurora nodded, bowing to Partemtio. Marin didn't budge. Aurora looked at the sun, just barely rising. "It looks about 6:30 am,"she said. "Should we get started now?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperscreed Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 "That would probably be best." Partemio said. "Do you both remember where to go?" He asked Marin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xianghua Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 "Just because I'm a Romani, doesn't mean I'm an idiot," Marin said, scoffing, and walking towards the slaughterhouse, where a fenced in group of cows was placed next to it. "Please excuse him!" Aurora said, bowing again to Partemio. "He doesn't mean to be rude to you, it's just that you're Domnul Shana's son, and he has a vendetta for all slave owners... It has nothing to do with you!" (Three things. Romani = Romanian gypsy. Domnul = mister. Also, Partemio's dad should be like, really pervy and creepy towards Aurora, and when she and Marin get off of work and go back to the barn, he walks her over there, and does something really creepy, and Marin sees, so that's when he flips the bitch switch and tries to attack his dad, and yeah... REMEMBER THE SHOCK COLLAR. Then he gets whipped. And Partemio witness all of this.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperscreed Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 "Its okay Aurora, I understand." Partemio said gently placing his hands on her shoulders to bring back from bowing. "And you don't have to bow to me, none of the others do." He said, smiling and taking a step back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xianghua Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Aurora smiled. "I should be getting to work then..." she said, scurrying into the house to find Partemio's dad, bowing before him when she did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperscreed Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Giovanni was about to speak when Delilah stepped out. "Dear, don't you have work to do." She asked him and a bitter stare was shared between them for a few moments. "Child I require your assistance." Delilah commanded of Aurora before turning and heading back into the house. As Aurora passed Giovanni touched her rear then started toward the pasture as if he hadn't done a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xianghua Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Aurora nodded, following Deliliah. She made a slight squeaking noise when Giovanni touched her. "What can I do for you, Doamna Shana?" she asked. (Doamna = miss/mrs.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperscreed Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 "Painters are coming to repaint one of the rooms and it needs to be cleaned first." Delilah said leading Aurora up to a nursery, everything was covered in a thin layer of dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
