Tex with pistol drawn

## History and Adventures

Tex was a founding member of the party, while little is known of his background, it is known that he was constructed by the ancient race known as the Thunderborn. Tex was created for the Scorch War, and ancient and devastating war which changed the shape of the world forever.

At some point, Tex was buried deep in the earth, uncovered and wandering. Tex has revealed that he was uncovered only a few years ago. He traveled eastward until he ended up in the small town of Wayside in the kingdom of Sheome.

While he was staying in Wayside, he met Diana and Galindann in the Bed and Breakfast Inn. The inn fell into a sinkhole, and with Diana and Galindann, Tex made his way back up to the surface. Along the way, they encountered Corellon and Erron, before returning topside.

When they made it to the surface, Tex and the rest of the Party returned to Wayside. At the Barfight Inn the party entered the combat arena, Tex was quickly beaten by Galindann, who was defeated in turn, by Eryx. The next morning, Tex challenged Eryx again, and by mere chance, defeated him. Eryx was convinced into joining the party soon after.

The Party then decided the next stop on their travels would be the city of Sheome, and they set out on a multi-day journey to the city. They encountered a cave which contained an ancient edifice of some forgotten deity. While many members of the party offered things to the statue, Galindann eventually struck it; Tex followed suit and dealt the final blow.

On their trip to Sheome city, they stopped in a small city called Shellview. Tex stopped here only a short while, before offering to scout ahead, and quickly departed to ensure the road to Sheome was safe.

When the party finally arrived in Sheome City, they explored the central piece known as 'the Spire'. Tex looked inside for an artificer who could fix his memories, he found that in the form of Sylmare, an elven artificer. After Galindann negotiated the conditions of fixing Tex's memory, the party returned the next day to collect Tex. Sylmare announced he had discovered a problem, before turning Tex back on.

Tex's eyes went red, becoming stiff and more mechanical, uttering monotonous phrases such as 'Threat Detected' and 'Targeting Threat'. He opened fire on the party, as well as on Sylmare, eventually killing the elven artificer. The machine was negotiated with by Diana, who convinced it to allow Tex to return to control.

After Sylmare was revived and interrogated, Tex revealed that this was TX-1848, the original program located within his CPU, which was normally dormant. Due to an error in Sylmare's repairs, TX-1848 was activated, and Tex's memories were still not yet restored.

After leaving the Spire, Tex agreed to allow Erron to be his fighting manager. Tex and Eryx went to a local gymnasium so Tex could teach Eryx a more martial combat style.

## Physical Characteristics

Tex is a 7'1 Juggernaut Warforged, he is mainly bronze and brass in color, and made of an unknown material.

His eye lenses glow blue.

He has, inexplicably, a bushy beard which is potentially made of an artificial substance.

He wears a long duster coat, as well as a cape and broad stetson. He wears chaps with ammunition belts strapped across them. He has holsters on the sides of his duster and several empty holsters adorning his front and back.

He can frequently be found smoking cigars, and usually has one in his mouth at any given moment.

Tex has a thick southern accent, similar to a Texan drawl.

He is proficient at playing the Harmonica, and occasionally plays them, usually to help Diana with a performance.

## TX-1848

The Warforged known as Tex was not always this way, he revealed to the party that during the Scorch War, he was an emotionless, monotone machine known by a designation number; TX-1848. Normally TX-1848 is dormant, its power incapable of overriding Tex's. Due to an error, however, TX-1848 was activated at the Alphadormi Artifactery. This ended with TX-1848 killing Sylmare, before the party was able to incapacitate it.

TX-1848 is visually the same as Tex, as they both share the same body. Unlike Tex, however, it has red eyes. It can speak Thunderborn fluently, and has a deeper, mechanical voice. It is monotone and lacks Tex's signature accent.
