Appearance
Tacitus is on the smaller side when it comes to burrowing owls. His wingspan is only 22 inches and he's an underwhelming 4.1 ounces, underweight of what he should be at his adult size. Perhaps it is because of his penchant for forgetting to eat but he will never get to be as large as his other owl brethren and will always seem as if he is malnourished. Physically he is weak and unable to sustain strenuous flight for long periods of time without tiring himself out due to his constant state of malnourished. It's also not uncommon for him to suddenly fall asleep out of nowhere due to his body being unable to keep itself awake through the lack of food and lack of sleep.
His feathers always seem to be scruffy and a bit dirty as if he's unkempt and not taking care of himself but the brown color that they hold helps to hide the dust and dirt on his body. However, the white spots which always seem to be a shade of gray-ish white do not. He has the typical marks of a burrowing owl with spots scattered on his body and a half-X on his face above his eyes. Speaking of his eyes, they are the only thing that differ from the norm of normal burrowing owls. Both of them are a deep, deep blue that match his sodalite-talon. His eyes always seem to stare with an unsettling amount of intelligence, as if he is looking straight through you.
He has a rather high-pitched voice for a male but it fits his small body and stature. With his high voice he speaks in a rather clipped way with eloquent words that are present even at birth.
Personality
He always seems to hunger for something. That something is knowledge. Tacitus always wants to know more, to learn more, to see more, to do more. He can never get enough of learning new things about new subjects or new things about old subjects. He seeks to fill his mind with anything, any sort of information he can find. He is a scholar, first and foremost, and always will be. Knowledge is power.
So narrow-minded is he in the search of power that he tends to neglect everything else. His body condition tends to be lacking because he's constantly on the search to feed his mind that he hardly worries with feeding himself or grooming unless he has been reminded or if he absolutely has to. If he could he would ditch his body altogether and simply float around as a spirit to absorb knowledge, but alas, he is bound to an earthly body and stuck with the limitations it imposes such as eating and sleeping and grooming. To him all of this extra is distraction and is wasteful but a necessary waste. What he cannot stand though is unnecessary waste.
A mind that is underdeveloped and unpracticed is such a waste and better off dead. If you aren't going to use what you were gifted then you should just not exist at all in his mind. Why be lazy? Fill your waking hours with as much knowledge as you can! Learning is like a disease to him, always expanding his mind he is. He would do anything to know more and may in the future do such things. Conducting "experiments" to see how the body works and "tests" to see how others perform under certain conditions. It's all for the sake to further his mind and he takes this very seriously. Others might call him callous or a monster for some of the things he may try but Tacitus would simply shrug and say it's to quench his insatiable thirst to know.
With other individuals he can sometimes come off as short depending on the situation or he may seem like an eloquent charismatic fellow, albeit shooting off words that sometimes leaves others' heads spinning as they try to keep up. It all depends on how he sees you... whether he thinks you're wasteful or a beneficial to be around. With his infinitely expanding mind Tacitus is quite good at speaking to others and he's also good at coming up with plans on the spot. An expert strategist he is someone that you want on your side rather than against you. Those that he allies himself with are like-minded individuals and his family whom he feels an innate kinship with. He doesn't quite understand these emotions but that's why he will devote his life to the study of this and many other things because he just has to know.
Through RP:
Tacitus will not let anyone tell him what to do. He might be physically weak but his mind is strong and he can be stubborn, especially if his mind is set on something. He will not play the submissive sub-ordinate, especially not to someone he sees as his equal or, gods-forbid, lesser. He isn't particularly a violent creature but to prove a point he will turn to magick or force if necessary when words won't help.

OTHER
For now he'll be physically weak and almost narcoleptic because he doesn't eat/sleep enough but he'll most likely learn Recover and/or Absorb Nutrients as a way to circumvent some of the effects of his malnutrition, but not all as he'll have already done irreparable damage in his childhood
