Taz

Background
Taz is one of the four original members of The Ripper Boys. Taz is a particularly laid-back individual, treating life from a "no worries" perceptive - he enjoys life as the days come and is a great voice of reason amongst the Rippers. Whenever Taz is taking part in the shows, he makes sure to keep everybody calm and helps those who are slipping into a negative mood to feel a little better about themselves.

Taz has an affinity with nature, especially the ocean. Outside the shows, Taz is a surfer and spends his free time surfing the slimy pink waves of which come about the oceans of his world. Since he is an excellent swimmer, Taz works part-time as a life-guard, making sure the contestants remain safe on the slimiest maps within the shows. He cares greatly for his job and wishes he could work more often, however more work means less time spent surfing and catching up with his friends, which is unfortunate.

Taz has both a bandanna which he wears whenever he is surfing and spending time in the desert, alongside a woollen beanie which he wears whenever he is staying in the city. The bandanna is to help keep him cool under the hot sun, and the beanie just looks a lot smarter and keeps him warm and cosy. Taz however is easily embarrassed, especially whenever somebody compliments him or is flirting with him! Whenever Taz becomes hot in the face and is wearing his beanie, he will tug the hat completely over his head to hide the blush.
