Homebrew Half Minotaur Species Details

Half Minotaurs are aggressive and fierce, but can also be excited and joyous. Emotions fuel their every move and the strange mix of a Human's versatility and a Minotaur's fierce ambition make for a race of truly unique instigators. 

Unfortunate Optimists

Most Half Minotaurs are abandoned by their parents because they are incredibly difficult to take care of. A lot of minotaurs consider Half Minotaurs as freaks of nature and very rarely accept them as friends or family. Half Minotaurs are often turned away at everything and have lives of denial on every front. They have a knack for staying optimistic, but can often lead to dark habits. When creating your Half Minotaur character, it might be worth considering an habit that they can't shake such as Alcoholism or Fierce Religious Following.

Emotional Brutes

All Half Minotaurs are driven by emotion in almost any sense. Very very few think things out frequently before they do so and can lead to undesirable situations. Those who choose to stick with Half Minotaurs are sure to get involved in a lot of negative consequences, but also a lot of fortune. Half Minotaurs try to never miss out on opportunities and will end up taking tasks and quests that any other adventurer would ignore and avoid. 

Half Minotaurs are very thoughtful though and care greatly about the people who they surround themselves with. Much like how a Dwarf won't forget a grudge, a Half Minotaur won't forget a good deed. It's been known for Half Minotaurs to protect people with their lives when they see them for the first time in years over something as simple as Smiling at them. 

Can of Worms 

Half Minotaurs are incredibly unpredictable and complex beings. They can be confusing and aggravating because their thoughts and feelings change so frequently, but they can also be amazingly interesting and exciting to be around. They fear isolation, boredom and solitude regardless of the situation and this fear can fuel them to do incredibly foolish things.
