Damian, the Gentle Giant

Description - a Minotaur with fur of a deep, warm maroon that grows steadily darker down his limbs, becoming nearly black around his hands, hooves, and the tip of his tail, which ends in a tuft of slightly longer fur like a normal cow’s tail. His head also sports black hair, though he keeps it quite simple, allowing it to fall where it will with no real styling. Powerfully built in just about every way, he stands at an imposing 7 ft 5 in. He has two front-facing dull horns on his head, though they are actually rather small at around 10 in. long, making it easier for him not to hurt anyone with them. He likes to keep his eyes set to a warm chocolate brown however, and while he is unquestionably strong, his touch can be surprisingly gentle as well.

Personality - Perhaps the most physically intimidating member, in reality he is also the most sensitive, as he suffers from social anxiety and feels very uncomfortable talking with people he doesn’t know well. However, there is a heart of pure gold buried under there, and once you help him out of his shell, he is one of the most fulfilling people you can talk to, demonstrating deep care for his friends and giving them all the support he can. He is responsible for brass instruments, which gives him a chance to be bold in his music in a way he can’t achieve in social interactions.

Response: quiet but encouraging
“It’s okay, we’ll help you out.”

Patron Comment: “Hey, um… just wanted to let you know… y-you’re my favorite, up there.”
Response: gets flustered and blushes, but his fur hides this, for the most part
“Oh, uh… thanks.”

Patron Comment: “You. You’re cute.”
Response: he starts panicking and instantly turns beet red, though his fur mostly conceals it
“Wh-what? Uh, wh-what are you talking about? Oh, um, looks like I need to go and get ready for our next show. Bye!”
