Do we really want to have this setting's Donnie-analogue also be a minotaur? Suggest making him part-cephalopod (octopus or squid), with multiple tentacles in place of his arms. Such a TF would actually be helpful for a bartender, as well as going a long way towards making it impossible to confuse Gordy with Donnie.
Also: There's really no reason Gordy needs to be mute or taciturn, either. Why not just let him retain his normal voice, and normal level of talkativeness? But if you really do want Gordy to prefer silence, don't go the "too basso" route, since that's pretty much expected of big, bulky, minotaurish types; rather, have TFOR 'bestow' on him the 'gift' of a high-pitched, squeaky tenor.

The minotaur thing was because I felt that there should be something that ties the reboot to the original besides the TF disease and the collapse. As to his silence/taciturn nature, that isn't because of his voice, per-se, but because it is so rough and bass-filled that it can be hard to understand at the best of times. (Think about it - he's got this huge sinus system and chest, both of which act as resonators, increasing the bass level. For all anyone knows, his voice might actually have large subsonic components. And I chose to have him mostly stay silent because its a more subtle sign of how TFOR affected him. Prior to him becoming a 'teefer' he was a rather jovial and talkative person.) — ShadowWolf 15:04, 29 August 2007 (EDT)
