Maneuvers Known (Ex) 4 (ready 3)
- Following Wake (Mithral Current; Boost 1): Initiate as a swift action. After initiating this boost, you can make a trip attempt against the next creature you charge this round as a free action, using a Perform (dance) check in place of your CMB roll. This combat maneuver does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
- Flurry Strike (Broken Blade; Strike 1): As a standard action, the initiator may make two attacks at his full base attack bonus.
- Panther on the Hunt (Primal Fury; Strike 1): As a full round action, +2 to hit and damage on charge, ignores AoO

Grit (+Wis mod)
Gain grit:
- Critical Hit: Each time the myrmidon confirms a critical hit with a weapon she has Weapon Focus with or is in a weapon group associated with a discipline she has Discipline Focus for while in the heat of combat, she regains 1 grit point. Confirming a critical hit on a helpless or unaware creature or on a creature that has fewer Hit Dice than half the myrmidon’s character level does not restore grit.
- Killing Blow with a Maneuver: When the myrmidon reduces a creature to 0 or fewer hit points with a maneuver or with a weapon she has Weapon Focus with, she regains 1 grit point. Destroying an unattended object, reducing a helpless or unaware creature to 0 or fewer hit points, or reducing a creature that has fewer Hit Dice than half the myrmidon’s character level to 0 or fewer hit points does not restore any grit.
- OPTIONAL: Daring Act: Each time a myrmidon performs a daring act, she can regain grit. As a general guideline, a daring act should be risky and dramatic. It should take a good deal of guts, and its outcome should have a low probability of success. If it is successful, the myrmidon regains 1 grit point. Before attempting a daring act, the player should ask the GM whether the act qualifies. The GM is the final arbiter of what’s considered a daring act, and can grant a regained grit point for a daring act even if the player does not ask beforehand whether the act qualifies. (This method is subject to GM approval)

Deeds Spend grit to
- Unbreakable (Ex): At 1st level, the myrmidon is trained very well to protect herself against the many unnatural elements of this world where she must rely on only her wits and training to protect her from harm. The character may spend 1 grit point to gain a +4 circumstance bonus on a single saving throw as an immediate action.
- Heroic Recovery(Ex): At 1st level, the myrmidon can recover an expended maneuver as a swift action for the cost of 1 point of grit.
- Man of Action (Ex): At 1st level, as a swift action, the myrmidon can spend 1 grit point to gain a circumstance bonus on an Acrobatics, Climb, or Swim check equal to her class level.

Before being chosen by Goodwin, Tavros was a member of the Chyros Clan. The clan name is a misunderstanding; "Ischyros" is Greek for "strong" and when the original clan leader heard it, he thought the guy was saying that "[he] is chyros." It was a relatively small clan, rapidly gaining power and members largely through kidnapping from neighboring minotaur clans. To avoid the wrath of the larger and stronger clans they stole and kidnapped from, the clan was largely nomadic and focused on stealth and blitzes/ambushes.

Tavros was originally a member of a different clan and was stolen when he was very young. His only memory of his original family is a vague strain of music that he only half-remembers and has no idea where it comes from. Perhaps due to this, he tended to have a soft spot for music. Since music isn't required for raiding and pillaging and is directly detrimental to stealth, he was mocked and harassed for his interest.

Traditionally when going out on a raid, the clan all drinks what they call "Mother's Milk." It's a mix of alcohol and various narcotics meant to fill the consumer with rage and power and rid them of all fear. It also happens to be a good way for the leader to control his clan as it dulls the mind and is highly addictive. Just like all other warriors, Tavros was forced to become dependant upon it almost as soon as he was able to lift a weapon.

When Goodwin came, Tavros was out on his third raid. As usual, he was high and out of his mind, but the group they were raiding consisted of some dryads and satyrs having a party. He hadn't yet undergone any permanent damage from prolonged use of Mother's Milk, so the singing and dancing caused him to hesitate just briefly. It was just long enough to save him from being slaughtered as the benevolent Goodwin swooped in to protect the nature spirits. With a bellow, he charged the new man who had taken down the other members of his party. Goodwin easily disarmed and defeated the young minotaur.

Goodwin took him in and put him through a painful detox. Mind slightly clearer, Tavros challenged Goodwin to another fight, claiming that he wouldn't have won so easily if he hadn't been disarmed. Smiling, Goodwin asked why he was so dependent upon a weapon to win when he himself needed none. Then began Tavros' long, arduatious journey from "out of his mind crazy killer bull-man full of rage" to "passive cow-man who could still easily break your neck if he tried".

There was at least one instance where Tavros almost killed another of Goodwin's students. The other boy had convinced him that all monks shaved their heads. Lots of hair later, the still slow Tavros didn't figure out it was a practical joke until everybody started laughing at his completely shaved bull-head (it was a pretty silly sight).

Tavros is a recovering alcoholic/drug addict with rage issues. Currently, he deals with this by swinging extremely in the other direction: he drinks only water and tends to be almost too passive and laid back. Most of the time he's basically a really big teddy bear who likes to read. In combat, the rush of adrenaline tends to make him a bit ADD, causing him to rush from one foe to the next. Between his previous substance dependence and Goodwin's comments about his defeat, he tries to be as self reliant as possible: he uses his body as a weapon and doesn't wear armor.

He generally walks around in simple tan slacks and a sleeveless tunic with a deep v-neck (think Kevin Sorbo as Hercules). Around his neck he wears a sobriety chip on a thin metal chain. His hooves have metal horseshoes than he uses to occassionally tap dance, although admittedly rather poorly. His fur is a sleek black clolor and he has a white stripe under his chin that goes down his throat.

Tavros' goal thus far has been to lead a happy, peaceful life by being too powerful for anybody to challenge him. He also wants to become a master dancer. Specifically tap dance and paso doble (because paso doble* would be silly).

He also has a goal that's unconscious (by which I mean "it's my goal for his character development"): To find a happy medium in regards to his addiction and rage.

*Paso doble is the French dance interpretation of Spanish bull fighting.

Re: Posting Rate- I can generally post multiple times during the day. My disclaimer is that I'll be starting a new job in a little over a week, so I expect my posting rate will drop then. I think I should still be able to post during work at this new job, but I may not feel comfortable doing so until I've settled in. I can tell you that I'm very persistant/committed to my games in a "not going to give up on it" kind of way.

Goal for this game: To cackle madly as I do massive amounts of damage. I'm hoping for at least a few fights (preferably over a range of time as Tavros gets more badass through level ups) that consist of tons of weak enemies (as opposed to a few, challenging enemies). I basically like to feel like I've created a god of something; Tatsuo does elemental evocation magic that is mostly save only (with high saves), Kaylor is practically impossible to hit while doing massive amounts of damage, and Johnny is going for master of charms (these are all other of my characters). Right now Tavros is a little fuzzy past "killer charges of DOOM."

Past that, I'm honestly not really sure. It's a little hard to tell without knowing who's in the rest of the party and more about what we're going to face. One of Johnny's goals that depending I might try to recreate is to create a construct army and a totally badass fort/home base (we're expecting to be attacked eventually), but I don't really know right now how I feel about Tavros going the crafting route. I mean, I definitely like the mental image, I'm just not sure how well it'll fit in to everything else.

Alignment: LN with LG leanings. Despite his (now) high intelligence, Tavros is used to taking orders from when he was less intelligent. Because of this, he tends to be somewhat passive; he's not one to go out of his way to do good, and while he may sympathize with those in need, it's likely it honestly wouldn't occur to him that he might be able to help (he's not used to being a 'hero' after all).
