Talis always seems to underestimate the gravity of important situations or the difficulty of tasks by about a mile or ten.Talis is a bit of a slacker, never really thinking things all the way through - and it usually comes back to bite him in a wildly comedic way. However, he also tends to not be deterred from things that would often scare others away.

Every legendary story seems to have at least one charming and optimistic character. If that's the case, then it only makes sense that Talis has decided to be that person. After all, if everyone is too busy whining and groaning about the negatives, how will anyone ever reach the positive? True, Talis's constant belief that things will get better can be terribly grating, especially to pessimists or those just level-headed enough to realize when things truly are going downhill, but Talis's constant positive outlook can serve to sometimes spur others to action when it feels like the world just wants them to lay down and die.

Talis is extremely cocksure and headstrong. Possessing a keen wit and exceptional level of intelligence, Talis will often use his superior intellect to humiliate lesser minds. Basically, he is kind of a jerk, and that can sometimes get Talis in a bit of trouble.

While generally laid back and more than happy to offer a quip of sarcasm, Talis's entire demeanor changes once combat begins. He becomes focused and quiet, with his smile replaced with a look of grim determination.

Born with an intractable will and limitless courage, Talis will stand in the face of insurmountable odds and never retreat. Despite the fact that such acts of heedless bravery are inspiring and will sometimes result in victories worthy of song, just as often they result in his allies getting wounded or killed.

Talis possesses a single minded drive for victory, and a deep-seated martyr complex. When presented with a chance to wade into battle versus overwhelming odds, Talis does not hesitate, and instead rushes in, relying on skill, fate or chance to let him survive.
