As I have said in a previous post, about a year ago I started playing Champions Online, a superhero-themed MMO that has one of the greatest character builders I have played with.
The game is constantly being updated with new content, which is pretty sweet, and one of the new superhero power sets they added in was the Heavy Weapon powers, aka the Devastator.
So that got me thinking on character ideas and I had the idea of building a minotaur character that used the Devastator attacks with a giant axe. At first I was going to create a male character, but then I came up with the name 'Minotara', so that helped change my idea and I created a female character.
So, this is my heroine "Minotara".
Natasha Lazar was an acheologist and historian who had spent much of her time studying the ancient civilization of Minos who got the chance of a lifetime to actually go to the Minoan Island to do some studies.
Little did she know this would change her life, literally.
While digging in a new location, she uncovered a fantastic find, the legendary labyrinth where the Minotaur was held.
She delved deep into the structure by herself where she found a strange, ancient shrine, but when she touched it, something happened, the essence of the Minotaur was stored in this shrine and it fused with her, changing her form.
A mighty voice spoke to her, saying that she has trespassed onto forbidden ground and now she was to be the keeper of the great creature's strength and spirit until she could redeem herself to the 'gods'.
She thought this was the end, until she discovered the abilities and potential she had; strength, dexterity, and the ability to summon a powerful axe a her command.
Instead of dwelling on this 'punishment', she decided to make good with this power and she went forth to embrace a new life; the life of a superheroine.
Yeah...her CO form has a wolf head, but that's because they don't really have any decent bovine heads in the character builder yet.
As for the sketch itself, I tried working on her during on of my DnD games (again, that's why the paper is lined), but it really didn't turn out too well in my opinion, but I was working from memory.
I really need to do more with her, it's a good excuse to practice on bull/bovine/mintoaur type characters and I really think she turned out to be a cool character.
