The lack of Minotaurs around immediately made me wary that I was not within the BGTSCC compliance, and after some priceless Rp'ing (Why are halflings so damn much fun?) I was informed by a particularly vitriolic and apparently offended player that I was indeed in violation. He was pretty harsh(foolishly mistaking me for a noob- when in truth I've been drooling on my keyboard over this server for months. I'm on my fourth keyboard now) and I decided I would put it on hold for now until I understood more.
So I REALLY had this character planned out. I don't know how much everyone gets into this(varies I'm sure) but I draw and muse over these things obsessively; making diagrams, illustrations, quotes, I researched Yurtrus(my deity), wrote some poetry(jk lol), but seriously, I put some real thought into it. Literally spent a day making up a storyline. I am not just trying to be a Minotaur for attention. I had intended to start in the Underdark as an escaped slave but whatever, the surface is still good for an "escaped" slave.
SO CAN I PLEASE BE A MINOTAUR Y'ALL?? I PROMISE I WILL BE A FANTASTIC ROLE-PLAY ENHANCING MINOTAUR... I understand the nature of races and keeping the rping realistic with reference to accuracy of era and locale withing the Forgotten Realms. I am not trying to be difficult. But an errant Minotaur here and there makes sense.
Anyway I just REALLY want to be a minotaur; and more specifically to personality an example of what happens when a semi-intelligent being of subhuman race is brutally enslaved and escapes to a world that judges him while still holding the promise of freedom, if not equality.
He is Chaotic Evil now, but who know what will happen on the surface... My first day was a mixed bag of great RP'ing, with both solitary and fun and intense persecution.
I'd really appreciate hearing people's constructive thoughts on the matter, and some Dungeon Master approval would be nice too
? Even if I can't run this guy, I still wanna discuss....Or is this idea just Bull?
