Diablo The Infernus Rex

Diablo was the youngest of a litter of five babies and had two loving and nurturing parents.  Though being the youngest, he was the smallest among his siblings, so it was a tough battle to get at least one scrap of food.  But luckily, his mother always managed to save him something eat, and his father perched him on his head to show the world to him.  Diablo had a very loving and happy life.

Until the day, the White Demon appeared, leading a band of Red Carnotaurs into the nest area.

The rogue gang and unusual leader fought against them, with the father managing to kill one of the Carnotaurs and severely injuring another.  But sadly the White Demon managed to best the father, as the remaining Carnotaur critically wounded Diablo’s mother, and ate his siblings as Diablo was unable to do anything.  The White Demon then attempted to kill him next, until his mother managed to carry him as his father managed to battle against the White Demon, giving them both a chance to escape.  Diablo’s mom ran with him while the Carnotaur chased after them… following the White Demon as it had successfully killed his father.  Reaching a cliff wall, the mother managed to throw him up onto it safely as he looked down in horror and shock, seeing his mother being slaughtered by the two dinosaurs, and having the Carnotaur be killed by the White Demon; its usefulness ended to it.  Diablo ran away, saddened that his family was all dead, but he wasn’t forgotten, as the White Death was coming after him, climbing to claim the last child to finish it’s thrilling sport of a hunt.

Diablo ran as fast as his tiny body could get him, until he caught a peculiar scent in front of him… and spotted a naked ten-year-old boy living out in the wild.  It then hid right behind him, as the White Death’s roar could be heard not far.  The boy ran, leaving the little one in shock that he had been left behind, as he looked to the source of the roar, too tired to continue onward.  However, surprisingly enough, the boy ran back and scooped him up, surprising the dinosaur of him not leaving him behind.

The two ran as fast as they could with the White Demon after them both, until they reached a cliffside showing a lake leading to a river source.  Both looking to each other, almost sensing what to do, jumped in as the White Death almost caught them, but crashed into the water, as they swam up to see the beast make out a frustrated roar, and then walk away.

Diablo and the boy managed to get to shore, and he was about to leave, until Diablo started to follow him.  The boy turned to him asking him if he had a family.  Though the little dino looked away, showing mourning as it was an indication that he was telling the boy the White Death slaughtered them.  Surprisingly enough, the Boy introduced himself as Braccus or Brakk for short, and gave the little dinosaur a name:  Diablo.

Excited, Diablo stayed with Brakk as both survived and found a place to stay and thrive together.  Ten years passed, and Diablo was now 20-25 feet in height and Brakk was now a twenty-year-old young man, both surviving together.

But their adventures would only get bigger as they would meet Sarah Railbed, an archeological student along with five others, newly brought to the world they were in.  This would also set them out to explore the lands further and discover even more dangerous species and races there.  Including running in to the White Death once and more times over.

**Personality**:  Despite his intimidating size and appearance, as well as his name and ability, Diablo is shown to be playful, energetic, and friendly. As he loves Brakk and doesn't want to return to his home and likes to stay with him. He is also shown to have a big appetite for food, especially hot dogs or anything Brakk makes. However, he can be tough and fierce when it comes to fighting villains, going Godzilla on them if his friends are in danger.

Loyal to a fault, he will never doubt Brakk’s trust or motives, as he knows things will turn out or that he’ll have a plan for the plan if it fails.

Despite his dinosaur heritage and inability to speak clearly, he is shown to be highly intelligent.  In order to escape a walled-up cage, he clawed up a wall making it look like he climbed out, and hid from sight or heat vision using mud on his body.  He’s shown to have problem-solving intelligence.  He’s also smart enough to know when someone’s insulting him about his brain size (Sarah once said without knowing him at all was that he had the brain the size of a walnut… he found it offensive until Brakk convinced her otherwise and apologize to him).

He's pretty emotional as he feels hurt when he makes others worry.  Even feel saddened if Brakk seemingly abandoning him for another, which shows he deeply cares for Brakk and considers him family.  He can sometimes be jealous if Brakk loves another creature.

**Skills/Abilities**

**Powers**

**Infernus Rex Physiology**

**Thick Hide**

**Infernus Rex Strength**:  His strength is definitely stronger than that of an average Tyrannosaurus rex for physical lifting and combat as his unclear of his strength of jaw strength.

**Infernus Rex Roar**:  Diablo's roar is loud and powerful enough to be used as an offensive weapon and to perform tasks like blowing out building fires.

**Sharp Teeth**

**Infernus Rex Fire Breath**:  Similar to Godzilla’s notable Atomic Breath attack, it is a powerful blast of heat concentrated in a beam of flames, or if pushing to the max, becomes a powerful blast that could obliterate smaller opponents or with big opponents can push back, knock down, and if in close range, obliterate them.  The key is that his spines can absorb heat in the surrounding area and he can concentrate it through a blast from his mouth.  When this happens, the scaled spikes, his horns and his eyes all glow bright yellow, which is a sign he’s powering up.  At times, he does use a smaller version to light a fire, but has a tendency to make the meat ‘well done’ when this happens.

**Stamina and Speed:** Diablo's stamina is very high as he is barely ever shown to be exhausted, and he can run for long periods while still being able to fight well enough without too many difficulties. His speed is fast enough to run away from raptors and flying giant bats.

**Smell:** Due to being a species similar to a Tyrannosaurus, Diablo's sense of smell is one of the most developed of the whole animal kingdom. In normal times, he uses it to find his prey or detect enemies, but his heightened smell has also helped him and Brakk in near-death situations. He was able to find Brakk and he detected infectious scents among corpses, as well as being able to identify a mysterious Killer by sniffing the corpses of its victims.

**Skills**

**English Comprehension**: Diablo is able to understand what Brakk and others are saying without him translating it from English to Dinosaurese.

This includes literacy - he imagines signing his name "Devil" and also recognizes when Sarah is writing SARAH as an introduction, and writes his name with Brakk’s, surprising her.

However, he is not able to speak English because his mouth and vocal chords cannot form the proper sound.

**Prehensile Tail**:  His tail is prehensile, allowing him to wrap it around a person or object or fling them in a direction with a "tail flip".  He’s even able to use it as a writing tool, and even as a brush for painting.

**Art**:  Amazingly for a dinosaur, he’s very talented in art, as he has shown to paint a lovely portrait of Sarah, and even a Mona Lisa version of himself.

**Combatant:** Diablo is a very strong fighter. His jaws and tail are especially powerful, which make him a deadly opponent in battle. Due to his size, he can push with a considerable force.  Even without his Fiery Atomic Breath, he’s a force to be reckoned with.

**Stealth:** Diablo demonstrates brilliant stealth, he is capable of simply using the color and stripes on his body for camouflage to blend in with tall red grass or shady areas so that he is able to remain undetected by his prey.  At times, he’ll use tree branches or foliage to hide himself, but also uses mud if he knows if the enemy can sense body hea
