History:
Here Personality: The first thing you would notice about Tavros if you talked to him is that he's a very shy guy. He goes so far as to stutter while he types and he backs out of conversations that make him uncomfortable. He's got a pretty big interest in fairies and flying; he looks up to Pupa Pan (the troll version of Peter Pan), and he even keeps his window open in case Pupa wants to give him a visit. He also likes to FLARP -- which is the troll version of LARPing (live action roleplaying), which has it's dangers -- and his FLARPing persona is BOY SKYLARK class, with an outfit that's pretty close to Pupa's. Tavros doesn't seem to care that his class is weak, either. He just plays purely for the enjoyment. He also prefers to take the easy way out so no one gets hurt -- such as communing with enemy animals, or just copping our of whatever happens to be asked. It's also pretty hard for him to hate someone, even Vriska. Vriska, the troll who tortures every minute of his existence and paralyzed him.
He's basically the biggest doormat in Alternia. When it comes down to it, he's basically a stammering weakling who let's the other trolls walk all over him. But he's okay with that! Anything to keep everyone happy. Really though, he's just too nice of a guy to make it in his world any other way. He hadn't really tried to stand up for himself for the longest time but when he did, he ended up dead. But this also means he's good a negotiating and compromises that keep everyone hapy. Because that's basically all he does -- he compromises his well being and lets people walk all over him.
He's really not the kind of guy to stand up for himself when he's in trouble. He often goes to others for help. It's because he has low self esteem -- he thinks people won't listen to him when he says something of worth. And this is pretty true, but it's because of his low self esteem. Kanaya once told him that if he needed an easier way to stay confident about himself, then he should name his self esteem. And so he did, naming it Rufio. After one of the lost boys, of course.
He's not really good at what his species is most known for. Trolling. In fact, he ends up getting counter-trolled instead. Like with what happened with Dave. At the end of their conversation, HE ended up blocking DAVE. Usually, it's the other way around. He still keeps trying and thinks he's a good troll. Which he would be if he stopped commenting on everything he said (much like this, and in an odd manner.)
Powers & Abilities: The only special powers he has is the ability to talk to animals with his mind. He's not really all that strong or smart, to be honest. He's kind of useless too. But he can make friends pretty easily, as long as they're not trolls.
Posting Samples
Third-Person Sample: Tavros smiles a little as his Pokemon hits the other Pokemon before them. It was down to 25HP, perfect. "Sickfires, return!" He returns his Lickwit and takes out an empty Pokeball, aiming to catch the almost K.Od Pokemon. He tosses it, and it lands. Waiting in anticipation, Tavros stares at the wiggling Pokeball intensely. A few seconds later, the ball stops. Tavros cheers and spins in his wheelchair, pumping his fists in the air. He walks over and lets the Pokemon out so he could get a good look at it. It was a Ponyta. "You, remind me of, uh, one of my Fiduspawn. I'm going to name you, Horsaroni, if that's okay." The Ponyta licks his hand in response. "Heheh, I, like you too." He lets his Lickwit out of it's Pokeball and begins his journey to the next town, his two Pokemon following behind.
It takes them a few days or so but they finally make it to Sandgem Town! Upon arriving, a wind blows some sand in their direction, causing Tavros to sneeze. "Uhh, it's a little, sandy here. I wonder why." For some people, this could have been taken as sarcasm but for Tavros, this is a legitimate question. He wanders into the Pokemart and buys a few Pokeballs. "Is there, any way to, uhh, paint the Pokeballs, to make them look, different then they already do, which is to say, uhh, like this?" He hands the cashier a handdrawn picture of an
Oogonibomb. "You could probably use some acrylic paint. There's some in isle 4." "Uhh, thanks." He leaves his Pokeballs on the counter and walks over to isle 4 where he find the paint. However, it was a little to tall for him so he ends up falling over while reaching and knocking some things off of the shelves he fell on. "Ow..." The cashier comes over to inspect what happens and sees Tavros on the floor, covered in merchandise. He smiles bashfully, hoping that someway, he would get away from this situation without having to pay too much money.
