Character Name: Shorus
Species: Minotaur
Species description: Big, strong, fierce and not so dumb (average human intelligence)
Gender: Male
Noteworthy Abilities / Limitations: Sharp senses(except vision which is regular), Infra- vision, natural navigation skill (can get out of any maze, always knows where is the North), natural cunning, Natural armor and weapons (Thick hide, horns and hoofs), huge physical strength and stamina, a practical engineer type ( doesn't understand formulas and high mathematics but has a big amount of practical experience and therefore can build simple mechanical instruments, able to figure out how things work by trial and error). Despite his huge physical strength, Shorus's agility is rather doubtful. He is ok for a minotaur but in compare for other creatures he is pretty slow, he is actually not fast enough to catch his own dinner without using a trap.
Background: Shorus is a son of a hunter, so the others in his warrior centered village always gave him a hard time. Not accepted into the village society, he spent big amount of time experimenting with his father's hunting traps and became an expert of anything mechanical. He even once built a small catapult, using a picture he found as a guide.
Having good genes, Shorus is actually stronger than the average minotaur and he discovered it when he was recruited to the clans militia as a young adult. He was outstanding in heavy axe fighting and defeated even his superior officer, which was an unforgivable crime in Shorus's village. Shorus was expelled from the militia and is traveling the world ever since (as he has no intention of becoming a hunter like his father).
Appearance: About 9 feet tall, almost 4 feet in shoulder width, black fur and eyes, fierce face expression but rather intelligent eyes for a minotaur.
Reason for Detainment: The guards of Eblistan were rather racists and didn't like minotaurs too much in the first place(of course that might have something to do with the fact minotaurs ate few of them..) so when Shorus, driven by his interest to mechanical systems was caught glancing at the war machines near the palace, he was immediately thrown to prison on the charge of being a spy.
