His handle may refer to bullfighting, as a Toreador is a bullfighter. His huge bull horns having to do with his associated zodiac sign, Taurus (♉), The Bull, could be the reasoning behind adios, meaning "goodbye", and an instinctual disliking towards bullfighters. Due to an accident during one of his Flarping sessions, he has ended up a paraplegic. He was a member of the Red Team. Roleplaying He was mentioned to have partaken in the same extreme roleplaying that Terezi, Vriska, and Aradia partook in sometime before the events of Hivebent. Tavros was a member of Team Charge alongside Aradia. His character is of the BOY-SKYLARK class, and is based on Tavros's hero, Pupa Pan. Both he and Aradia agree that although the class lacks power until it reaches a very high level, it is better to play and have fun, rather than be aggressive and treasure hungry like other players. This is similar to his role as a Page, as Pages are said to have a very long journey, but gain lots of power once they reach the end. During one session, his clouder, Vriska, used her mind control powers to force him to jump off a cliff, which caused his paralysis. He then trolled Karkat and told him what happened. Karkat's response was to call him an asshole and tell him to STOP PLAYING GAMES FOR GIRLS. (It's speculated "games for girls" may counterintuitively mean dangerous games in troll society, as female trolls seem more aggressive. If this speculation is correct, Karkat may have warned Tavros about FLARP prior to the incident.) Hivebent After entering the Land of Sand and Zephyr and creating a rocket wheelchair, Tavros spent most of his time on useless side quests, much to the dismay of his server player. After dealing with his side quest obsession for some time, Vriska guides him to the gate leading to the Land of Maps and Treasure (LOMAT) where they meet up under awkward circumstances. They later come to an understanding of sorts and go treasure hunting together. During this period of mutual partnership, he is seen riding on a Horsaroni. Since Tavros dislikes riding on animals that he communes with, it is likely that Vriska helped him learn how to fight during some of the parts of the main quest. They both traveled around on their matching rocket devices, until they are interrupted by an angry Aradiabot who promptly makes Vriska pay. Vriska is left in a near dead state but stops Tavros's reviving attempt through mind-controlling his hand with her newly awoken dream self. She communicates with him by manipulating him to write on the ground with her blood. On her request he brings her to her Quest Cocoon, but can not bring himself to kill the girl, despite her "screams" and pleas for a quick death written all across the floor of the Quest Cocoon. He absconds and leaves her to bleed to death. This traumatized Tavros and he spent the rest of the game mostly asleep, seeking comfort on a now Vriska-free Prospit. Post-Hivebent Tavros had a new robotic spine built for him after his session fled to their Veil. The spine was constructed by Equius, and installed by Vriska, who used a wikihow on how to do spine surgery as a reference. It went pretty well, all things considered. After learning of the humans, he attempted to troll Dave on his thirteenth birthday, just as Kanaya tried on Rose. Both mentioned how they were from the future and nonhuman, and both Dave and Rose pointed out their lack of skill at trolling. But while Kanaya eventually forged a kind of friendship with Rose, Dave met Tavros's weak attempts with a thoroughly effective homoerotic counter-troll, eventually causing Tavros to block him. Following his spectacular defeat, Tavros asked Rose what the best way to get on Dave's nerves would be. Rose told him that poetry would be the best option, and he seemed to decide to take her advice. He then trolled Dave with some unbelievably awful SICK RHYMES intended to humiliate him, although Dave completely ignored him. Tavros seemed very satisfied afterwards. Tavros communicating with Jade. At first, he got along quite well with Jade, communicating with her while she dreamt on the dream world Prospit vicariously. (On his iteration of Prospit, Tavros could once walk around without a wheelchair and fulfill his lifelong dreams of flight.) He saved a younger Jade from shooting herself by communing with Becquerel and directing him to teleport the bullet away, though unfortunately it ended up hitting and killing Grandpa instead. However, Tavros saw no harm in this (until Jade explained it to him) because he believed Bec was her Lusus and Grandpa was an intruder.
