Name: Tarantos
Alibi: n/A
Age: Undetermined
Gender: Male; Hard to tell from a human's perspective though.
Appearance: A large, easily frightening figure, Tarantos has a slouching posture due to extremely tall height, making him seem like that of a slender but extremely broad shouldered giant. While he is more humanoid in terms of appearance compared to other shinigami, he isn't very wild-looking, and rather has a more similar appearance to that of the Grim Reaper depicted in many cultures. While his upper built is large, his lower built is slender and long, lanky limbs that hang loosely. His bony arms are that of large bones that slim down as they reach the large, long-clawed hand and thin, darkened skin that's very dull and gray.
There are large, black spikes that come from out of his spine, and a small pair of black wings that blend easily with the shredded fabrics and black moss-like substance on his person. Tarantos doesn't show his face at all, taking on the apperance of a skull like mask, its jaws (which are usually wide open) moving when he speaks, so it can be assumed that its connected to his actual face, or really is his face. When he eats, dsepite not having to, he shoves down the substance in his jaw and further in with his hands, but there is still much discussion over his true face, but he doesn't speak of it, dodging conversation pertainting to it.
Deeply in the sockets, one can see beady red eyes best clear in the dark with little light. Leather and many, many chains adorn onto appearance, often rattling when he moves about due to having so many. When sees Tarantos, he has that of a smudged, wispy appearance that blurs, blurring the most around his legs that seem to be wearing very large, baggy pants - giving a misty aura about him despite seeing him more clearly in the upper regions of his body. He often has individuals among his Shinigami wonder if their eye sight is going bad - as he blurs a bit more everyday if possible, when really, Tarantos is just that way, and adding to his silence, one wonders if he's really a spirit, rather than a shinigami. The rattling of chains and low, raspy groaning add in dramatic effect.
Personality: Tarantos is a very, very silent Shinigami. He doesn't say much, and gose along with the flow, following along if something catches his curiosity, to of which a lot does. Should he take a fancy to someone, he'll become attached to that being and follow them around until he gets over it. Though, he rarely does anything, and merely observes.
Rarely does he speaks, and perhaps, he doesn't actually know how to speak, but it is an established fact that he is fact, able to make deep, dark grunting noises, chuckles, or hums. He's generally mute the majority of the time, and is rather resilient. His actions and quick movements indicate on their own of what he wishes to voice across without actually voicing anything at all. The only thing that's close enough to what one could consider 'speaking', is his often repeated chuckle of 'kekekekeke', that's very dry and rough, sounding like that of swallowing sand and attempting to speak. He has a rather dry and wry sense of humor, laughing when it's a very suspenseful or sad setting, just messed up altogether.
He does though however, have a temper, and when you get on his nerves long enough, he will explode. Not quite literally, but rather, his loud, booming voice (which is probably why he keeps quiet all the time - his voice is extremely loud) that comes from him will make you stop for a moment or two. Tarantos can become absolutely hysterical and perhaps insane as well in these moments, voicing his true thoughts on and on and on in fast and quickly formed talk, before stopping himself halfway through and then returning back to his reserved nature, but not without a grudge. Not many wish to see this hidden side of Tarantos's.
Faction: Shinigami
Bio: Like most Shinigami, he had been created somewhere amongst the fabrics of time, and lived his life by killing humans with the Death Note to extend his own life. He's apparently a very old shinigami, having existed around for a very long time in terms of human years, but has found companions amongst the other Shinigami. Being a generally silent fellow, he merely followed along with whoever he becomes attached to, eventually getting over it and then finding another after a period of loneliness. During this Present time, he had found himself being attached to a Shinigami who had a great interest in the Human World. After seeing parts of the Human World and how they generally were, he took an interest as well, and seeking out to see more, he drops a Death Note of a lazy Shinigami. Amusement and his observation ensues and contributes to the 6 Death Notes that have been dropped in the Human World.
Other: Tarantos has a great liking to chains (hence his great amount of wearing so many), the sound of the rattling and clanking is a sort of trance with him.
