Character Name: Taurus
Alternate Identities: The Minoan Minotaur, Minos Taurus, Professor Zeusson
Player Name: NPC
APPEARANCE
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 8' 0"
Weight: 450 lbs
Description:
Taurus is THE Minotaur, not just a lesser copy of one. He is a full 8' tall and weighs at least 450 pounds. Though 'legend' says he has a man's body with the head of a bull, in actuality he is build more like a humanoid bull that walks upright. His body is covered with reddish brown hair and while he prefers to be naked, his fellow members of Zodiac have requested that he wear at least a loincloth in the common areas of Zodiakos Kyklos. When he is in the mood, he dresses rather elegantly in beautifully tailored (a serious must here) Armani suits and takes great delight in dressing for dinner.
The injuries sustained in his long ago battle with Ghost Archer have been replaced by various means over the ages and it is only recently, with the development of bionics, that Taurus once more feels a complete being. He does nothing to hide these add-ons but rather sees them as battle scars earned. He has many times refused to have his lost parts regenerated by Pisces but she still occasionally asks.
BACKGROUND
POWERS/TACTICS
Taurus'
PERSONALITY/MOTIVATION
Taurus has come a long way from the mindless killing machine he had been over 3000 years ago. Amazingly, he has become a very sophisticated being with eclectic tastes in music, art and gourmet foods. Over the last few years he has even taken to the occasional kidnapping of a gourmet chef or world renowned tenor for a command performance aboard Zodiakos Kyklos. He is ever the gracious host and even pays generously for his ‘guest’s’ time and talents.
The great Minotaur has changed in other ways, as well. Where once he would rush head long into battle, now he has become a careful planned who would prefer to avoid direct combat. This does not mean he will not fight and any who make that mistake will find themselves on the receiving end of a severe beating. Though he has not gone so far as to develop a code against killing he does tend to leave his opponents alive.
His extremely long life and varied experiences have allowed Taurus to become an effective, respected leader of Zodiac. It is also his great personal presence that has occasionally been the only thing that has kept the team from coming to blows.
