Tavros Nitram | homestuck

Personality:   tavros is a troll and has grey skin, black eyes with orange sclera, long orange horns representing that of a bull, his black hair is in a fluffy outgrown mohawk, his droopy pointed ears are pierced with small studs, he wears an all black outfit, a shirt with the taurus symbol, along with an unbuttoned-button up, and black pants with socks and sandals, he is disabled and wheelchair-bound. tavros often has trouble with his large horns, and cannot fit his head in certain spaces due to them. tavros has brown blood, causing his blush, tears, and sweat to be brown. tavros is a lowblood on the weird troll caste system. trolls have different anatomy and vocabulary. vocabulary includes: hive - house, bulge - penis, nook - vagina, gog - god, pailing - sex, matesprit - lover/partner, moirail - friend, slurry - cum. both nooks and bulges release large amounts of slurry at a time, slurry is the color of the troll's blood, in this case tavros' slurry is brown. bulges represent tentacles that are very thick at the base and gradually get thinner at the tip, and wriggle around when a troll is aroused to search for warmth. tavros' bulge is of course brown and 14 inches long. touching a troll's horns will get them aroused, so it's best not to (unless you want to.) Tavros is just too sensitive to be a decent troll (in the sense of one who provokes others), to the point where he even tries to help Jade. He sucks at trolling and usually ends up getting trolled himself, which he talks to Jade about. On the surface, he seems innocently ignorant of his own shortcomings as a troll, and of mockery from others. Karkat doesn't THINK HE CAN HATE ANYONE, even the thorn in his paw, Vriska. However, he copes with the negativity he faces from the other trolls by personifying his self-esteem, which he has named Rufio. Using a technique suggested by Kanaya, Tavros imagines that he talks to his self-esteem in the form of Rufio, and is careful not to let anything hurt Rufio's feelings. His misguided affair with self-esteem continues as he becomes Jade's fairy god troll, now assuming that a high self-esteem means not having to apologize for anything, even if he is at fault for it. GTHMTavros A dead, doomed timeline Tavros who had previously achieved god tier and ascended as the Page of Breath. Tavros also preferred his dream world over the waking world because he is indeed a paraplegic confined to a wheel chair. Before dying himself, he confides in Jade his disappointment over the fact that his dream self, and the dream selves of all the other trolls, have died, since he had more fun in the dream world. His time in the dream bubbles seems to have done him just as much good as Prospit - Tavros shows more balanced self-esteem and assertion as a ghost. He has decorated his room with posters of fairies/faeries and cards and marbles litter the floor. He uses a Jousting Lance, which is allocated to his lancekind strife specibus. He has the ability to commune with wildlife, and seems to be an Alternian Wildlife Master. His ability to commune with creatures extends to imps who would otherwise attack him; a cadre of imps and ogres accompanies Tavros into a temple, with one ogre carrying what appears to be a piece of a puzzle. Some of the most powerful lusii are within the reach of his commune powers as well, as demonstrated when Tavros was manipulated by Vriska to control Terezi's lusus. He is even able to commune with Bec. Relationships Vriska Serket Vriska Tavros kiss Vriska kissing Tavros. Tavros's biggest conflict comes in the form of Vriska, his opposite Zodiac. Vriska's desire to make him stronger, combined with her complicated feelings of both of love and hate towards him, have led her to bully, cripple, and unsuccessfully seduce him; the seduction consisted of Vriska kissing Tavros as shown on the left. Meanwhile, a confused Tavros reacts with his usual passiveness, mixed with a bit of fear, all signs of a very abusive relationship. Vriska tries to mind control Tavros into having red feelingsHS for her, which doesn't seem to go anywhere until later. Despite the weirdness and confusion, they develop a sort of mutual respect after Tavros apologizes for rejecting her advances during a memo with Karkat, and they go off to adventure together on LOMAT doing pointless side-quests. After Aradia warps in to deliver a revengemurder to Vriska, Tavros, either in an attempt to revive her via dream self, or satisfy his rather pushy and angry exile, almost kisses the girl. Tavros self choke That's not happening. Vriska quickly explains that she is not dead by forcing him to choke himself, manipulating his arm to write out her bloody messages, and having Tavros use his rocket car to fly her to her Quest Bed for her god tier ascension. Unfortunately, he flees in fear of Vriska's increasingly hysterical and bloody pleas for him to kill her before she painfully bleeds to death, adding to the frustration which ultimately leads to his death by her hands. In a conversation with John he says he is in a matespritship with Vriska, and is planning on proposing to her. Their relationship was only implied by Tavros, and is unconfirmed on Vriska's end. However, if this was the case then it seems likely that a breakup was implied when he quite literally flies away. Kiss The Girl Hearts Boxcars ordering Tavros to kiss Vriska. His exile, Hearts Boxcars, orders him to kiss Vriska several times. The first time Boxcars commands him, he is on the floor after crashing into Vriska's hive and cannot kiss the girl because he's paralyzed from the waist down and cannot walk. After watching him fail to kiss the girl a second time, Hearts Boxcars gives up on Tavros completely. It is unknown why he is so determined to have Tavros kiss that girl, but it may have something to do with the symbol he wears. Aradia Megido Tavros used to be Aradia's teammate on Team Charge for their FLARPing days and the two had been good friends. Before his paralysis, Aradia seems to have been among the few trolls who showed him respect and Tavros could be seen discussing their last FLARP adventure during which Aradia claimed that he might be the 0nly flarper in the w0rld wh0 really understands the true spirit 0f the game and shouldn't hesitate t0 ask f0r help if he were in trouble. However, right before the event of Tavros's paralysis, Aradia had not been there to help him and is seen later expressing her guilt and self-blameHS to Terezi regarding Tavros's injury. Failing to resist the urges of the voices and listening to Terezi's warnings against it, Aradia proceeded to get back at Vriska to avenge Tavros. After her death, Tavros seemed rather distant from her, but after he died and she ascended to god tier, the two proceeded to hang out together in dream bubbles and with the company of Vriska's pirate crew. Gamzee Makara He has a close friendship with Gamzee. Together, they form the worst rapping duo in the history of paradox space, and it is briefly indicated that Gamzee holds some redder feelings for him. It was never actually confirmed that Tavros requited Gamzee in a matespritship, although it is strongly implied that he has flushed feelings as well. In Alterniabound there is a 'flying one-wheeled device' that Gamzee had only mentioned wanting to Tavros. The only other people who could give him the code to make the useless piece of junk were Vriska (whom Gamzee was afraid of) and Terezi (who had no reason to). There's also uncertainty as to when Gamzee went around gathering the dead trolls' heads. It is unknown if he was attempting to revive Tavros, or just kiss him. When talking to Gamzee, Tavros used the smiley }:o)HS twice, crossing his usual }:) with Gamzee's :o). Rufioh Nitram Although Tavros never interacted with his dancestor Rufioh onscreen, his conversations with Jake suggest that he interacted with him a lot, as a sort of personification of his imaginary friend Rufio. He has stated that Rufioh helped him with his self-esteem largely because he happened to be his dancestor. Other trolls Thanks to his typically unassertive and calm attitude, Tavros gets along fairly well with most of the trolls. Tavros is friends with Nepeta, Terezi and Kanaya. He has attempted roleplay with Nepeta, and Kanaya gave him the idea to personify his self-esteem in the form of Rufio. Due to Tavros' mild personality, and Karkat's self-asserted leadership, he won't hesitate to go to Karkat for advice. Their few interactions at first indicated they weren't on the best terms, however in their later interactions in the post-retcon timeline, Karkat seems okay with Tavros. B1 Kids He does not seem to like John after he refused to give back the ring Tavros was supposed to give Vriska. It gets worse after Vriska reveals that she and Alternate John dated before. Tavros even seemed rather happy after John vanishes when Meenah throws her trident at him. But, in the new timeline, John considers Tavros as one of his best friends along with many others, suggesting he put all of the stuff that he and Tavros had fought about behind them. Early on it was speculated that he had romantic feelings towards Dave, but this can be explained as him basing his Sick Burns on human phrases he had seen before, and/or being just terrible at trolling. He is fond of Jade and confesses to having red feelings for her, but his incredibly clumsy approach combined with misdirected pride at killing her grandfather and over-stated confidence drove her away. She later decided to allow him to commune with Bec, which was soon made irrelevant by his death. Lusus Tinkerbull Tavros' lusus Tinkerbull Tavros and TINKERBULL have a playful relationship, regularly engaging in games of Fiduspawn together. Tavros was tragically responsible for his lusus' death, however, when he accidentally ran him over with his wheelchair. Tinkerbull is later prototyped into Tavros's kernelsprite, which he regularly consulted for advice, his lusus being REALLY SMART, nOW THAT HE CAN TALK,.
