"To motivate and support the small group of soldiers during the Siege of Eger castle they were served delicious food and a lot of red wine. Among the Turkish soldiers it was rumored that bull's blood was mixed into the red wine, as otherwise the strength and firm resistance of the town and castle of Eger could not be explained. Finally the enemy gave up."
Preferred influences: Eyes red with bloodlust. ESSENCE: The bull of the corrida -- bred to fight, born to die. Preferred influences: All bulk and muscle in sleek black; those cruel curved horns.
o1 concept. A venator of few words. He has a keen interest in reaping the souls of those who have died violently and abruptly. Often visits battlefields, fighting rings, and so on, seeking bloodshed. Despite his savage tastes, however, he is not savage himself. While terse, he is perfectly civil to fellow aeterna, provided he is not pestered or pulled too far from his work.
o2 details. Very bulky and imposing, with large bull horns and red eyes to take from the wine ether. However, he should look more classical and clean-cut than barbaric: think the handsome matador (like in the video in the first post good lord emotion_kirakira) as opposed to the scary minotaur (as much as I love 'em!) The majority of him I'd prefer to be black like the fighting bull's pelt, but some flowing markings like the wine might be neat? I leave that part CC, but it's a lovely color. Whether he's a venator or messor is also CC because I can't decide! Hooves and tail might be rad.
