I'm finally doing a proper introduction of my 'of mice and men’ OC, Martín Radomír‼️ (His name was inspired by Saint Martin de Porres, a Peruvian Catholic saint!🇵🇪) His lore isn't exactly finished, but I wanted to share his character so far and in different parts! So this one will be his family relationship and how his experiences have shaped him so far.

I have a link to his timeline/background info and how he managed to immigrate to the U.S HERE (yes it's on Wattpad, I had this OC since freshman year and use Wattpad as more of a planning/drafting since this year I decided to update his lore+character]) I highly suggest reading that first so the explanation below makes more sense but do wtv!!

I tried to summarize as best as I could but I honestly SUCK at writing so I’m sorry if this doesn’t make any sense or sounds vague

On April 21, 1914, Martín Radomír was born in the city of Paita in Peru.

At 4, his family left Peru in February 1919 for Panama. Throughout Martín’s early childhood, his Father Andrés worked tirelessly, leaving little time to spend with his family, making Martín’s relationship with him feel voided. Still, Martín appreciated everything his father did to provide for him and his Mom. In contrast, Rosá and Martín formed a strong bond. Although Rosá felt a better role model would ideally be his father, worried Martín would turn out ‘softer’ than most boys, she used the time to teach Martín basic manners, scraps of education she learned, writing, and cooking that connected back to their Peruvian roots despite living in Panama. She often tried to get Martín to hang out with children his age but was quite bashful and reserved. Rosá's influence on Martín caused him to become more empathetic and emotionally intelligent. 

1925, Martín’s family moved after Andrés lost his job at the canals due to the protests in Panama. Their new goal was to reach the U.S. along with a group that encouraged the journey for a better opportunity. The travel was grueling and dangerous, but they pushed on for months. 1926 when they made it to Guatemala, Rosá, including the other people in their travel group, passed away due to malaria when Martín was only 12. Martín didn’t want to go on completely devastated, but Andrés knew this journey was for his family, for Martín to have a chance for something better. So they continued without them. As months went by, Martín would randomly and vividly picture every detail of his mother from the day she passed, fearing he would forget what she’d look like. As for Andrés, whenever he stared at Martín, his face began to slowly resemble the same features as Rosá.

During 1928 Andrés and Martín made it to Mexico. At 14 Martín began to work with his dad on the Haciendas. Andrés and Martín's relationship evolved slowly since the loss of Rosá. Initially, Andrés held a firm and stolid demeanor, defined by the years of hard labor he’d experienced. But as they worked together, Andrés prioritized sticking close to Martín and shaping him to the reality of the work environment. Martín was awfully scrawny due to low nutrients and lack of activity in his early development. So Andrés taught Martín how to manage hard labor and build endurance, improving his physical abilities in the Haciendas and gaining experience in agricultural work. Martín learned to become resilient and perseverance in laborious tasks.

Timeskip/quick summary → In June 1929, 15 y.o Martín and Andrés arrived in the U.S. in Arizona. From their time there, Martín learns some English, while Andrés struggles. They also find out how scary white Americans are. August 1929 The Great Depression and Mexican Repatriation Act increased the risk for Martín and Andrés. January 1930, Andrés stole from a bakery out of hunger, causing a mob. Martín and Andrés train-hopped to flee Arizona, taking them to California. Months still searching for a job, in May 1930 Martín is now 16, and Andrés finally got work slips for him and Martín to Tyler ranch.
