A s t e r i o n
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Species: Minotaur
Looks:
As far as his appearance goes, Asterion is like most Minotaurs. He posses the head of a bull, as well as the tail, but unlike most, he has human legs. He has thick, large horns of an ivory hue with yellowed tips from wear and tear. His coarse hair is a deep grey, near but not quite charcoal black that forms a mane about his neck and trails down his spine, thinning down as it reaches his tail. He has two braids parting his beard, and his right ear is pierced three times with gold rings. On his right arm he also presents the symbol of his home tribe in the form of a tattoo.
His eyes are a rich cameral shade, with golden flecks. They're rather pretty, even by human standards. To his own kind he is near perfection, but to humans, he is still ugly from the shoulders up. But if a human girl were to hold up her hand and cover his face, they would soon forget his bovine features, for his human body is most spectacular. Asterion has trained his body for years to be in tip top condition. He is bulky and rock hard, with bulging muscles and a wide, sturdy frame. He stands a whopping 7 feet tall, which is roughly above average for a Minotaur, but towers well over any human.
His flesh is a tanned olive, with a surprisingly smooth and hairless finish, apart from a snail-trail of hair that trickles down to his nether regions. Perhaps another reason that a female would take great interest in him. Asterion's hands and feet are large and thick, just like the rest of him. His grasp can crush most others and his foot-fall causes a tremor in the soil beneath him. His pure brute strength and practiced, honed muscles and reflexes, not to mention those sharpened horns protruding from his skull, always cause one to rethink their situation when facing off with him.
Personality:
Asterion has a classically rough exterior. He is gruff and talks infrequently. The Minotaur does not trust easily, and does not take to many kindly. He prefers to stay in the company of few rather than many. He gives orders with deep bellows, and receives them from those his has deemed worthy and deserving of respect and trust without question.
He is a careful beast, known for sharing his good common sense and level-headed approaches to all aspects of life. Especially in the midst of battle. Those that he loves he protects and serves with passion. Those that he hates burn beneath his gaze and shatter against his axe.
In the ways of love, he finds himself silent. He is shy and like a fish out of water in the art of romance, and has little experience. Beneath his temper and glaring expression lies a sensitive and loving creature, with a tender soul and a protective nature. For the one he loves, he prefers to show his affection rather than speaking it.
Asterion has a short fuse, and while he will not act on such emotions quickly, he will harbour them for some time, letting grudges grow and hate fester. He strikes his enemies is the most crippling way he knows how, and will stalk and study them for some time. He always makes sure to secure the kill.
The Past:
Asterion's private history is shared only with Black Star, as hers is with him. The only history he shares now, is from the day he joined his closest friend and Commander to the present day.
Items/Pets: He wields one large, hand made Axe.
Other: Hope!
