Character Background
The Story So Far
Graham was born in the same manner as the mythical Minotaur; the result of a union between woman and bull, with a bit of divine intervention to ensure he survived his birth. Growing up was something of an ordeal for him. His family made their home in rural Kentucky, and Graham became the subject of much suspicion, if not outright fear, because of his bovine heritage. Despite the misgivings of others, however, Graham was determined to fit in with his peers and prove that he was just like them.
Aside from the general cloud of unease surrounding him, his childhood and school years were fairly unremarkable, though he did discover his love for music while in his high school's band. He eventually graduated and went on to study archaeology. This, however, was the moment his life would change.
On his eighteenth birthday, the Greek pantheon became aware of his existence, and sought his demise. They began to send their agents after him, and not simply their mortal ones, either. Harpies, Cyclopses, even Hekatonchieres came after Graham, all intent on taking his head back to their masters in Olympus. Graham fought them off as best he could, but they just kept coming. Then, when he least expected it, he was abducted by several strangers and spirited away to Greece.
Graham returned to America a year later, but did not return to Kentucky. Instead, he travelled to Millennium City, where he began to forge a new life for himself. He lived peacefully for a couple of years, but as crime rose in town and villains made themselves known, he found he could no longer stand by while his neighbours suffered. Donning a costume of his own design and constructing weapons, Graham ventured out to become a hero, the papers dubbing him "Manotaur".
Personality
Behind the pleasant smiles, however, there lurks a dark foreboding. Manotaur is a monster. It's in his very blood, and he worries that, one day, his more savage side will win and he'll become more like the legendary Minotaur.
Powers, Skills, and Attributes
Powers
Enhanced Physical Attributes - Manotaur's strength, stamina and durability are all much higher than that of a human. Put simply, he can run for longer, hit harder and take more of a beating.
Limited Pyrokinesis - Due to the influence of the Eternal Flame, Manotaur carries an ember of it inside his body. This protects him from many mystical threats to his well-being, but also bestows upon him a very limited pyrokinetic ability. So far, the only thing he can do with it is belch a small gout of fire.
Reduced Aging - This one he's only just discovered.

Gear and Equipment
Gear
Laser Blaster Pistols - Two pistols of Manotaur's own invention. Powered by microfusion generators, the blasters fire a laser pulse capable of melting through most materials.
Battleaxe - Sharpened to a point, this is Manotaur's primary melee weapon. He carries it to honor his mythic heritage and because it's a lot of fun to hack and slash with.
Armor - Manotaur's first attempt at designing body armor, his suit strikes a balance between function and techno-barbarian aesthetic. Made from a specially-designed alloy, it provides him with protection while remaining light and easy to move around in.
Red Star - Manotaur's personal hoverbike. A fairly simple, open-topped affair, the Red Star's top speed is 180mph, though this puts considerable strain on its other systems. It is armed with a pair of laser blasters.
