The Bull

You’re big, strong, and tough. You know what fighting really is, and you’re good at it. Sure… you’ve got a soft side, too. But you only show that to the people you care about most. Everybody else? They can eat your fist.

Playing a Bull
Gruﬀ, tough, passionate, big-hearted. The Bull’s a heavy hitter with big feelings. They get into a lot of fights, both interpersonal and superheroic, especially thanks to their signature move, The Bull’s Heart. A lot of the time, they’ll be Angry. They’re a big, gruﬀ wrecking ball, and you should have fun smashing them into things.

Get into fights, emotional and physical! Be blunt! That’s the way of the Bull. Your biggest asset in playing your Bull is your core move, The Bull’s Heart. It’s your way of signaling to yourself and the whole table that you’re interested in scenes with particular characters. Pay attention to it, and try to get those bonuses as much as possible.

Also, keep in mind that your love doesn’t have to be a romantic love, and your rival doesn’t have to be hated. They absolutely can be if that’s what you want! But they don’t have to be so extreme. Your rival could be your closest friend whom you’re determined to surpass. Your love might be someone who’s like your younger sibling, and you keep them safe at all costs. Interpret those terms liberally.

Every playbook’s Moment of Truth matters and may shift the direction of the character, but the Bull’s in particular is significant. The Bull was made to be a fighter by someone else, and when you use your Moment of Truth, the story of the Bull’s origins becomes way more important. Use your Moment of Truth when you know you want to inject that element of backstory into the game moving forward.
