Othello on the High Frontier

CW: Themes of slavery, racism, and implied abuse Othello Del Terra: Othello is a male human born on a plantation in Virginia in 1801 to a slave called Harrietta and the slave owner’s son Julian Welch. In an attempt to be a good father but also to hide his perceived shame, Julian showed Othello off as a miracle child of his slaves for the fact of his bleach white hair and emerald green eyes, Julian named Othello after the Shakespearean character of the same name, thinking it suiting for someone with a “Moorish complexion.” Othello was given a fairly normal life aside from public eyes and newspaper articles, he was still beaten on occasion and still treated as African Americans were in that time though Julian never did so himself. By the age of 20 he was slated to graduate college, unfortunately the town’s Ku Klux Klan had other plans and chased him off from the ceremony and as he hid in a barn a flash of light appeared around him and he woke up in the salt flats of Sarco.
