Phaethon ref

Description

Phaethon Minos, my beautiful lovely minotaur boy.

As noted in the bio, he's twenty-three years old; in the canon he exists in, the minotaur still exists. Well. Until Phae kills him, at least.

Phaeton was conceived by a human woman under...Circumstances. His father was the minotaur, Asterion, and he has made it his quest to kill Asterion for various reasons, including to prove that he is loyal to his human side, and that he truly is capable of ruling Crete.

Before that, he grew up on shipboard as a sailor, improving his strength, dexterity, and worldliness. He has a lot of sailing experience, and under his rule, Crete becomes a trading and crafting kingdom.

He enjoys fine art, and once he has killed (or spirited away) Asterion, he seeks to improve craftsmanship in Crete, starting with his palace at Knossos.

The journey to kill Asterion was a long one, alongwhich he found his daughter figure, Hetta.

Or, otherwise, in list form,

Age: 23
Gender: Masc; he/him.
Relationships: available but not necessarily looking. He..he has a lot on his plate.
Personality: He tends toward being thoughtful and pensive, as a trend. He genuinely wants the best for his people and he's willing to take the long road to get that. He's very anxious that he won't live up to his 'grandfathers'--he considers Poseidon, Helios, and Minos to all be figures he should honor. He's warm and social with his inner circle, and if you engage him with one of his interests (ESPECIALLY puzzles, or letting him explain a cool knot or the finer points of trident wielding) then he'll open up quite nicely. He's very fond of labyrinths, due to a genetic predisposition, and he can be quite the pathfinder in one, as well as on the open sea...while, on open land, he tends to pace and circle.

Very nice reference sheet you have for him! Suits him well, ha.

I love the effort you put into your characters' backstories. It makes them seem more authentic. Keep up the good work!
