Originally appearing as a left-wing dictator in DYOS 5, taillesskangaru is somewhat of a Jack-of-all-trades depending on the climate.

The Poster
Taillesskangaru hails from Melbourne and joined CivFanatics in August 2005. He's a semi-regular contributor since DYOS 5
The Character
Taillesskangaru's main character is a character of the same name.
Character Development
Taillesskangaru first appeared in DYOS 5 as a left-wing dictator and wannabe world conqueror and was depicted as his avatar (the Rocketry tech icon from Civ4). He enjoys powergaming and ruled over large section of Earth as the Taillenian Empire, a Sovietesque hegemonic entity.
From DYOS 9 onwards, the character's personality changed. The new Taillesskangaru (the character) is somewhat quieter and more reserved than the earlier versions, and now travels the galaxy as a freelancer. The avatar-based depiction was phased out and the character began to be depicted as a kangaroo (or, at one stage, kangaroo origami). The Rocket avatar became a character in its own right in DYOS 10 when it rebelled during the Avatar Uprising. Its personality resembles the explosive, highly belligerent and criminally incompetent Taillesskangaru from DYOS 5.
Personality
Taillesskangaru is rather shy, introvert and withdraw, although he can become quite active and certainly aggressive when something interests him or someone close to him is threatened. After the destruction of the Taillenian Empire, he renounced the laws of society and began travelling around the galaxy looking for exotic places and treasure, combating injustice, and generally doing whatever he feels like at the time. For the most part he tries to avoid conflict but, given his lifestyle, inevitably gets drawn into them.

Part 1: The Avatar Wars
Former avatars (including Rocket) rebelled against Taillesskangaru during the initial phase of the Avatar Wars. TK himself, however, did not know of the plot, and traveled to Central Asia not knowing they had set up a trap. Flying a stolen Soviet helicopter over Tajikistan he spotted a palace in the mountains and landed, hoping to find treasure. One of the rebellious avatars was lying in wait ready to kill him, but did not get the chance. At the palace, TK met a mysterious cloaked individual who explained the situation to him and told him of the Supreme Avatar Commander. TK was joined by Stylesrj and Co. at the Palace when they were ambushed by the rest of the avatars, but managed to escape. They traveled to Apolyton, where TK foolishly entered an abandoned Command Center and was, presumably, eaten alive by ferocious monsters.
Taillesskangaru survived somehow and, breaking the fourth wall in the process, traveled back to Earth. He briefly joined CivGeneral and Thorvald of Lym in their struggle against the Avatars. During one of the many space battles one of the rebel avatars, Rocket, contacted Taillesskangaru and offered to defect in exchange for Thunderfall's death and half of planet Earth. The trio decides to give him the Earth's core instead (and not kill TF, of course). GuitarHero retrieved the "Earth's core" from Hell, killing Satan in the process. Unfortunately, Taillesskangaru was then killed and eaten by the "Earth's core", which is really the (zombified) Monkey Statue of Spamuzel. After Mythmonster restrained the monster, GuitarHero delivered it to Rocket, with predictable consequences.
Taillesskangaru got better, but his soul and personality was fused with Rocket's. Rocket's personality is dominant, but does not have total control, resulting in a power-hungry schizo maniac. Rocket rebuilt the Taillenian Army and marched on the Eastern Union capital, attacking Coruscanti, Eastern Union and Avatar forces alike during the final battle against the SAC. After the SAC's defeat, Taillenian forces took over the ruins of the Palace, and Rocket descended into the tunnel system underneath the Palace looking for treasure, leaving Choxorn under armed "protection". Unfortunately, the DYOS 1 Zombies were on the loose, and turned both Choxorn and the Taillenian Army into zombies.
After less-than-friendly encounters with CivGeneral and Co., Rocket and Choxorn were trapped in Nothingness before the Taillesskangaru's Narrator bailed them out (at a price). After this, Rocket's and TK's personalities were separated again. TK arrived back on the scene just as the others were about to leave for Arrakis, but was kidnapped by the Narrator and forced to work for him in finding the Gem. This, however, became a secondary objective after the Giant Death Robot designed by the Narrator to assist them in that mission turned rogue, and stopping it became the priority, with the result that Taillesskangaru is one of the few characters not present in the Gem Chamber at the close of DYOS X.
Part 2: Plan Within Plans
At the end of DYOS X Taillesskangaru was named as one of the two "Chosen One" - one of two people who could handle and harness the Gem's mystical powers (the other is Choxorn). The Space Nazis knew of this, and dispatched their forces to Wetickra, the headquarters of the Clone Guild, where Taillesskangaru was looking for a mystical object. Having dodged Nazi patrols, Taillesskangaru triggered a trap door beneath the patch of grass he was lying on, and fell...
