Callum (KAL-uhm)
Callum is a Minotaur and a figure of incredible strength and resilience, renowned for his undefeated record in the gladiatorial arena. Standing at 7'3" with a powerful, scarred frame, he exudes both intimidation and quiet dignity. Known as The Unbroken Bull, his title reflects not just his physical dominance but his unyielding spirit despite a life of captivity and abuse.
Sold into servitude as a child, Callum endured years of brutal training and combat, treated as a beast rather than a person. His scars, both physical and emotional, tell the story of a life defined by survival and struggle. Yet beneath his imposing exterior lies a kind heart, a yearning for freedom, and an affinity for the simple joys of life, such as small animals and storytelling.
While his combat skills and supernatural sense of direction mark him as a formidable force, his lack of formal education and social experience present challenges. Callum’s traumatic past has also left him with deep fears of confinement and an occasional battle with uncontrolled rage. Despite these struggles, his philosophy is rooted in fairness, self-determination, and a rejection of cruelty. He dreams not only of freedom but also of forming genuine connections with others, free of judgment or fear.
Callum’s journey is one of contrasts: a warrior seeking peace, a survivor yearning for meaning, and a captive striving to forge his own path. His story is one of unbreakable spirit and the hope for a brighter, freer future
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Callum is an imposing Minotaur with a towering height of 7'3" (excluding his horns) and a broad, muscular frame weighing 745 lbs. His fur is dark and coarse, marked with numerous scars that serve as reminders of his brutal past. His deep, bass voice carries a quiet intensity, often used sparingly. On his right hip, a brand from his time in captivity serves as a permanent symbol of his stolen freedom. Despite his intimidating presence, Callum’s large, expressive eyes reveal the kind heart hidden beneath the warrior's exterior.
Facial Features
Callum’s face is defined by a wide, strong jaw and a short, broad muzzle that gives him a distinctly bovine appearance. His deep amber eyes are sharp and penetrating, often reflecting a mix of stoicism and wariness. His large horns curve upward with slight wear at the tips, and his unruly black curls frame his face, adding a softer contrast to his otherwise imposing features.
Identifying Characteristics
Callum’s most notable marks are his scars, which crisscross his chest, arms, and back—each a testament to a life of battle and survival. A brand on his right hip, a cruel reminder of his captivity, is his most personal and painful identifying feature.
Physical quirks
Callum often tenses his shoulders or flexes his fingers when anxious or angry, as though preparing for a fight. He has a habit of tilting his head slightly when observing others, a gesture that comes across as both curious and calculating. Occasionally, he flicks his ears at sudden sounds, a trait reminiscent of his bovine ancestry, and his tail twitches when he is frustrated or uncomfortable.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Callum’s personal history is one of pain, survival, and a longing for freedom. Born into unknown circumstances, he remembers nothing of his parents or heritage, only the cold reality of being sold at a young age. His earliest memories are of harsh conditions, stripped of dignity and treated as a beast by a wealthy collector who saw him as nothing more than a prize for his arena. Raised in isolation, Callum was trained relentlessly, with no comfort or kindness. He learned to speak on his own, piecing together language from overheard conversations, but his words were seldom needed. Communication, in his world, was through fists and weapons.
Social
Social Aptitude
Callum’s social aptitude is limited but not without depth, shaped by his isolated upbringing and life of captivity. His demeanor often comes across as reserved and cautious, though this is more a product of inexperience than an unwillingness to connect. Callum has an understated charisma that lies in his raw honesty and quiet strength. Though he’s not traditionally charming, his authenticity and stoic presence can earn the respect of those who take the time to understand him. His gentleness toward small animals and unexpected moments of kindness create a striking contrast to his intimidating appearance.
Scars mean I lived. That’s enough.
