Note: Reposting this in this thread in case people are too lazy to go to Ironstylus's Taric threads

Edit: I know he's missing the armor, but I'm just talking about this personality/character, Gem Armor sold separately.

IMO what you guys are looking for in the Taric VU is a paladin who can take work seriously when it gets down to it but still retains the "I'm sparkly and I know it" nature that the League community has associated Taric with.

To be honest, If I were to imagine a character with this kind of personality, I'd personally imagine Aikurō Mikisugi from Kill la Kill.

I mean look at him, he's a supporting main character and shows up whenever the main character's in a pinch, an undercover teacher and one of the leaders of the rebellion faction in the anime he is in. He's hardly ever lost his cool and always prioritizes saving the world from Life Fibers.

Yet look at the way he flaunts his looks every time he explains boring backstory to the main character: (he is one flamboyant guy)

(And yes, he is from a comedy/action anime, so JAPAN alert:)

During these times, his flaunting is so intense that his masculinity LITTERALLY visibly shines like gems. (lol)

Even his quotes define a personality that very much describes a "Serious yet flamboyant" nature:

=======Memorable quotes=======

“Nudist Beach. We're Nudist Beach. It is the name of our organization. Nudist BEEEEAAAACH!” —Aikurō stylishly reveals the name of his rebel group

“Come with me. I gave you my word. It's time to tell you everything.” —When Ryūko proves herself to be a valuable ally, Aikurō fulfills his promise

TLDR: But in all seriousness though, Riot wants a serious and reliable taric that retains the "I'm sparkly and I know it" nature.

And I think that Aikurō Mikisugi seriously fits the mold here (Gem Armor sold separately): http://kill-la-kill.wikia.com/wiki/Aikur%C5%8D_Mikisugi
