Personality: Born among eleven other trolls from their decadent race, Tavros Nitram stands out from the group with his mostly innocent and transparent behavior which highly contrasts to what is expected from an Alternian Troll, even from his blood color. That, and the legendary stories of his Ancestor (The Summoner) cause mixed reactions among his acquaintances: From love and pity to disappointment and hatred, either of which would haunt and affect his life and afterlife to variable and extreme levels.
Raised by his lusus Tinkerbull, Tavros was mostly spared from the overbearing, harsh and violent reality the other trolls were subjected to early in life, resulting in the sensitivity, friendliness and naivety he would carry throughout his life even when faced with the chaos ahead of him, experiencing everything he had been spared from two or three-times fold. Such experiences would leave their mark in the form of a low self-esteem and irresolution to the point where despite his natural impulsiveness and energy, he heavily relies on the aid and guidance of his friends in order to accomplish almost any goal, thus becoming a burden for the team.
In spite of the much time and effort dedicated by friends like Karkat and Gamzee into helping him overcome his shortcomings, nothing affected him with the same intensity and effectiveness as his relationship with Vriska Serket, descendant of his Ancestor's mate (Mindfang): A complicated acquaintanceship of constant vacillation between love and hatred, entailed with loads of mind games, that would help him take his first and defining steps toward maturity, confidence and resolution though at the cost of many traumatic experiences, his lower-body and later, his very life.
Some time after reaching the afterlife in the Dream Bubbles, Tavros would begin a journey of insight and introspectiveness through revisiting his memories and meeting his incarnations from other timelines. But it would take an unexpected "help" from Gamzee Makara (by merging his body and mind with Vriska's into a sprite through a short-lived prototyping) to make him fully come in terms with himself and work out his flaws. As a result, the current Tavros Nitram is more confident and active, more in par with the traits fit of a Troll. But in the end this newly acquired self-esteem and maturity does not rid himself of his defining youthful characteristics such as his impetuosity.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Among the Troll Society in both Beforus and Alternia, the Nitrams are well known for a wing mutation some of their descendants undergo (Wings of which a Troll can only obtain through "God-Tiering") and two distinct and powerful abilities: Control over the air as a Hero Of Breath (Requiring their entrance in a Sburb/Sgurb Session) and the power to psychically interact with and manipulate an infinite diversity of wild creatures for whatever purpose and length. Of these 3 so far, Tavros only possesses the control over animals... As a Troll, that is.
As a human, Tavros relies more on his knowledge and experience with wild creatures, both of which are originated from this power he had as a Troll and his skills in a game of similar traits to Pokemon called "Fiduspawn". Such knowledge and experience combined with his charismatic character gives him an upper hand in understanding and taming pokemons, especially if to create a bond with them whatever the purpose is, capturing for himself or aiding in any way possible. Other than that, Tavros doesn't offer much else than any other person. In fact, one could say it only goes downhill from there...
Despite his recently found confidence and bravado, Tavros hasn't lost much of his clumsiness and cowardice. Faced with hostility and intimidation, from a Pokemon or a person, he may flinch and/or do anything to hide his fear recklessly and failing horribly at it. Same goes if he's the one to taunt and intimidate, being unable to effectively hide, bluff or threaten anything and anyone half the time. With that said, it should be obvious that when it comes to any kind of mind games he's still an easy prey and victim.
