[Background]
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.)
[Abilities]
He can commune with animals. Other than that, he has no special abilities.

[Sample post]
[First Person]
- Someone comes to you to ask for the time. How would you respond?
I don't really have a time telling device so, uh, I would tell them that I couldn't check?
- What were you doing before now?
I was sleeping. That's all I have been doing for, uh, a long time -- so to speak.
- If you were to describe yourself in one sentence, what would that be?
Uhhhh.....
- You discover someone stalking you. Do you call the police or deal with it yourself?
Police...? I would probably, uh, call Kanaya.
- Murder. What is your opinion?
It's...Not really something you should do.
- There is a cake in the rain. What do you do?
Uh...Why is there a cake in the rain? Why would you, do something like that?
[Third Person]
His eyes fluttered open and his mouth turned up at the scene laid before him. It was a beautiful, and familiar, sight. A golden palace that stretched to the end of the world! Well, moon really. The boy gets up to resume his previous adventuring. He wanders around a bit, looking down corridors, looking inside of rooms, and just admiring the scenery. He waves to the other trolls that he walked by that were awake and they just ignored him. Same as when he was awake in the Veil. Didn't really bother him that much.
"Wow. This place sure is, uh, amazing!"
He smiles as his voice echos through the long hall he was walking down. He simply loved this place! He loved is so much that he was willing to sleep forever. If he could, anyway. He opens up a big door that was at the end of the hall and gapes at what he saw. He was on the tallest tower where he could see everything. The sky was bright and the palace shone like it was freshly polished gold. He stood there, speechless for quite some time. That is, until he noticed something the distance.
"Uh...What is, that?"
He shades his eyes to get a better look and freezes. It seems that there was a green flame spreading from one side of Prospit to the other. Alarmed, Tavros jumps off the balcony he was on and slides down some roofs to the ground below. He starts to wander around, looking for any sign of his team. While walking down an alley of sorts, he trips over something and lands in a puddle of something very red. Almost...Cherry red. The troll slowly turns around and yells out in surprise. His team leader was slain before his own eyes. He gets up and worriedly checks to see if Karkat was really dead or not. After he was pretty sure he was dead, he gets up and starts to walk away when he feels something painfully rip through his abdomen and he passes out.
His eyes open and he confusedly sits up. Before him was the computer lab. Trolls typing away at their computers. He looks around and sees Karkat passed out on the ground. Why was he still unconscious when his dream self was killed? Who knows. He was probably just having a normal dream. Tavros frowns and gets up. Then he walks over to his computer and stops. Something wasn't right. He usually has to use his FOUR WHEELED DEVICE to go anywhere. So he looks down at his legs and gasps. They were robotic. First thing the troll does? He runs over to the transportalizer and transportalizes himself. Then he goes and searches out his old enemy; the stairs. Once he found them, he attempts walking down them. He was doing good so far. That is, until his foot got caught on something and sends poor Tavros flying down the flight of stairs. He tumbles down the last few and lies at the bottom of them, unable to get back up.
"Maybe...I should have just stayed up there...With the other trolls."
[Why do you want to play this character in Somarium?] It seemed like a really fun place to play someone at and my other muses were already reserved. I was going to do Gamzee but I can play Tavros a little easier.
[Which rule was your favorite and why?] The "You are allowed to bring your pet/sidekick/partner rule cause I can bring in his lusus dayum. B)
[Where did you hear about Somarium?] I heard about it from my friend! \o/
[Any questions?] Nope! I am all chill. }:)
