IC Information:

Character Name: Tavros Nitram

Character Journal: falteringfires

Canon: Homestuck

Point in Canon: While he's running around the Ectobiology lab, testing out his new legs

Age: Six Sweeps (Or 13 in human years)

Birthday: May 1

Appearance:

Abilities:
Tavros has the ability to commune with animals, including the imps and ogres that populate the gameworld of SGRUB. It's unclear if this is mind control or simply being able to talk to them mentally, but for the sake of RP, I'm going to say it's simply talking to them.

He also has a pair of robotic legs that make him faster than the average troll, but because he's so clumsy with them, it's almost negligible. Otherwise, he is simply more durable than humans, heals quickly, and can grow back any teeth that get knocked out.

Personality:
Too kind-hearted and gentle to be a decent troll, Tavros is a consummate Nice Guy. He's pretty much incapable of hate, and brimming full of optimism, even in the face of Armageddon. He can be ignorant of his own short-comings, other than his lack of confidence, and reacts to negativity by personifying his self-esteem as a troll named Rufio, who backs him up when he's feeling down. It doesn't always work, especially when others point out that Rufio isn't real.

Due to his paralysis being a weakness, he did not expect to live very long, and spends as much of his time doing what he likes as he can. He has a variety of interests, such as Roleplaying Games, Fairies, and Fiduspawn, a troll expy for Pokemon. His room on Alternia was littered with cards and marbles, like any typical geek. He also enjoys throwing down Sick Fires (rapping) with his best buddy, Gamzee. He's quite good at it, despite his lack of self-esteem making him speak with a stutter.

History:
Because of all the timey-wimey double reach around shenanigans, the easiest place to begin would be on Tavros's Wriggling Day (his birthday). He, along with eleven others, was born in an ectobiology lab as a paradox clone of himself. He was then sent back in time six sweeps to the day he was "hatched" with another grub-cluster. Like other trollgrubs, he faced a series of challenges designed to test his ability to survive, and was selected by a lusus, Tinkerbull, a tiny bull about the size of a housecat with an oversized head and fairy wings, when he succeeded.

The next couple sweeps were uneventful, spent learning and playing games like other young trolls. When he was five, an extreme roleplaying game called FLARP came out, and he formed Team Charge with his friend and neighbor, Aridia Megido.
