Timeline: Before his legs were DISTURBINGLY CHAINSAWED OFF.
Canon Resource Link: Have a jolly-ol wiki page
Character Background: Tavros is, needless to say, one of the sweetest trolls you will ever have the privilege of being trolled by. In fact, he is so much of a sweetipie that he is a bit of a failure as a troll because when he trolls he usually ends up getting trolled himself or he just sucks at it in general. He is like the most innocent babby you will ever behold. Even more so than Finnocence Babby Hulkerson whom I am sure you are all familiar with. He is one of the few trolls who holds no grudges and never truly hates anyone. Heck, he can’t even bring himself to hate Vriska, who pretty much makes his life a living hell every step of the way. To deal with such negativity, he has personified his self esteem who goes by the name Rufio. What negativities you ask?
He is crippled. It should be noted that, he is a bit of a geek and liked to play EXTREME ROLEPLAYING (or FLARP) earlier in his life. He still likes dorky games such as card games like pokemon/dungeons and dragons/beyblade/etc but he no longer FLARPS due to an unfortunate accident. That unfortunate accident is becoming crippled in a gaming session of FLARP where he was forced to jump off a cliff by Vriska who used her mind control powers to do just that. Since then, he gets around in a wheelchair.
BEFORE everyone starts playing Sgrub and shit goes down the tube, Tavros pretty much lives like this. After everyone starts playing Sgrub, he remains in his wheelchair while being tortured by his host server, Vriska. Who pretty much berates and makes things difficult for him any which way she can. Including, but not limited to, building nothing but stairs around his house, shaking him violently in the wheelchair and other horrible deeds that will go unmentioned for Tavros is but a wee petite babby.
But this wee petite babby goes through some serious growing up businesses. For instance, after Vriska is nearly beaten to death, she requests Tavros to kill her so she can arise to God Tier. He carries her to her Quest Cocoon but is too traumatized to try to kill her. So she bleeds to death. With Vriska exterminated from Prospit he then spends most of the game sleeping and dreaming in Prospit where he is quoted to be happy because he can walk again and be a happy kid again. But he does eventually walk again without the need to fall asleep and dream of it!
That is, after his legs get disturbingly chainsawed off by a friend with a chainsaw, he is fitted with a pair of robotic legs by Equius. He is super excited when he wakes up and wants to try taking on the enemy that he has always been warned about. But they warn him to steer clear from this enemy. However, he doesn’t listen and proceeds to try the stairs with his new legs. To make a long story short “Tavros, we told you about the stairs, we told you bro! It keeps happening.” He fell down the stairs.
Sometime between falling down the stairs and then being pushed off a cliff by god tier Vriska, he trolls Jade. The conversation went a little like this
“hey can I communicate and control your mutated space dimensional dog who I think is a lusus”
“what no”
“I did it once but I didn’t ask for permission because you were going to die”
“WHAT”
“but in doing so I killed your grandpa”
“Oh : (“
Upon this conversation, he realizes that Vriska was the one who endangered them all by creating Bec Noir and sets out to stop her. Only to be impaled with his own lance by Vriska in a cruel twist of fate and being the first causality of a long list to come.
Finally, Tavros is interested in fairies and Alternian slam poetry. Even though fairies are believed to be FAKE and slam poetry is like horrible rap offs.
Oh right, we got side tracked about Rufio. Basically all you need to know about Rufio is that he is the leader of The Lost Boys while Peter Pan is away in the movie HOOK. He’s basically like the person Tavros talks to when he wants to man up WHICH, REST ASSURED, TAVROS IS PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF DOING THAT.
Abilites/Special Powers: Tavros has a special ability that lets him communicate with animals telepathically. He has used this ability on Alternia to befriend the many beasts that reside around his hive and has raised them and trained them to be his warriors of conquest!!!!
Third-Person Sample: > The yellow towers and prestigious castle houses are enough to bring a huge toothy grin to the young troll’s face. Or perhaps it is the bright warm colors that glow on Prospit that bring him joy. After all, when you are surrounded by nothing but cheery and warmth it is hard not to smile or feel at peace. And these are the emotions that Tavros is feeling as he walks the streets of Prospit, smiling at the townspeople and even having the friendly conversation with them from time to time. Life couldn’t began to be any better than this, Tavros thinks, because this is a perfect world for him. He only wishes the moment could last forever.
But it cannot.
It is all just a dream after all. And, every time he wakes up, he must face the grim reality that disturbs him from his slumber. Though he carries on with a smile without the warm cheery feeling of security provided by Prospit, beneath his smile he is actually quite worried. Worried about everything and anything. But he dares not let anyone know of this, les they start to pile up because someone tries to antagonize him by making him paranoid. The truth is, he is already a little paranoid. Every day in the veil when he tries to get around in his wheelchair, he is always afraid that Vriska will appear out of thin air and push him down the stairs or do something equally as mean. He doesn’t hate her for it, he would just prefer to not have to rely on everyone every time he has to get around.
Tavros simply wishes he could walk again and on Prospit he can. Which is why he spends most of his days dreaming of the perfect world, to take advantage of the simple blessing of being able to walk. Come to think of it, he realizes that he was never thankful for something that so many trolls take for granted until it was wrenched away horribly from him in a freak accident. But being crippled, it makes him want to walk more than ever but he can’t. He knows it, and while he tries not to let it bother him, it bothers him every time he thinks about it. Which is a lot seeing as how Vriska loves to leave him stranded in one place. Sure, he could use his upper body strength to get to places if it was that dire but there would always be an obstacle in front of him. The biggest obstacle of them all in fact. So big that, perhaps it was meant to be that this would be his fated enemy.
The stairs.
How many times had he been faced with the difficult task of navigating the stairs. Too many to count Tavros thinks because he cannot recall a time when he could make it down the stairs without tumbling out of his chair or falling face first on the bottom of the steps.
Which is why he stares down the flight of steps with unease after waking up from one of his many Prospit dreams one day. He isn’t sure how he ended up napping there but somehow he ended up on a chasm with the stairs being the only way down. He sighs and braces himself. Communicating with Rufio as to what to do. Tavros takes a last look around his prison before gulping and gripping the rail of the stairs with one arm, the other arm at the wheel of his chair. Slowly, he pushes forward and holds onto the rail.
He doesn’t fall, good so far. He figures if he takes it easy he can make it down the stairs this way. And after about fifteen steps of stairs, Tavros feels all the confidence in the world. All of it. But soon enough this confidence is quashed when he rolls forward a bit too fast and finds himself scrambling to grip the rail a bit too late. Down, down, and around he goes, tumbling down the stairs until the floor below him stops his fall.
Tavros vows that he will take on the stairs again one day and conquer them. But not today, as he escapes the world of hurt through his unconsciousness. And away to dream land he walks.
