## Appearance

### Dinosaur Form

Tex is a tall, grey scaled Tyrannosaurus Rex with long, black bristles that resemble a mane. He spots two orange head crests and has bright yellow eyes. Tex was mutated to have a strong build, complete with muscles and a six pack. He wears a sleeveless black vest, puffy orange cuffs on his wrists, and navy blue pants with tears at the bottom.

### Human Form

His human form resembles his dinosaur form, with the exception of his grey scales becoming pale skin. His eyes remain yellow, but his orange crests convert into orange streaks at his bangs. He wears a black jacket complete with sleeves and a hood, a tight, orange turtleneck shirt with sleeves, and is given shoes to wear alongside his navy blue pants.

### Sleepwear

His PJs consist of a black tank top and orange pajama pants.

## Background

Tex was born in the Cretaceous jungle 65.5 million years ago. He was one out of many hatchlings born from a female rex. His father was never present during his childhood and he has always believed he left his family before he hatched. One day, after his mother delivered an ornithomimid carcass to him and his siblings to feed from, another male rex tracked down the nest and challenged his mother to a battle. His mother was killed as a result of the fight, leaving Tex and his siblings orphaned. Tex and his siblings disbanded since then, leaving Tex to raise himself in the jungle alone. He spent the next 20 years growing up in the jungle, hunting for prey and claiming territory along the way.

When he was 20 years old, he met female rex, Kireina, and they became mates. However, their relationship was far from perfect as she constantly forced him to commit violent hunts with her and was forced to let her feed first. It is presumed that she always ate more than him and she would always bite him whenever he got the chance to eat.

## Personality

Tex is a mature, caring, and strong T-Rex who is naturally good. He always does what he can to do what is right and make up any wrong that he has done before. Because he grew up introverted for 20 years of his life, Tex has always relied on himself and has a hard time forming new relationships at first. He stated that he is not used to befriending other T-Rex's due to remembering a T-rex killing his mother when he was young. When introduced to new things, Tex will either act awkward or become intrigued, depending on the object he is introduced.

Before, Tex had a standard belief in the law of surviving on what you can. But following his encounter with Emily and learning of the laws created by humans, Tex slowly opens up about the idea of respecting the laws, especially since some of those laws help keep people from doing horrific actions, such as killing. Tex felt hypocritical by Kireina due to once being a killer himself, primarily because he's a predtator who depends on meat to survive. Though he felt guilty about his previous actions, Tex is open to admit them and now believes in making up for them by becoming a better person.

Because of his previous relationship with Kireina, Tex has always gone through putting other people's needs before his. Though this is a nice gesture he does, especially to his friends around him, he feels alienated at himself for not understanding his own interests. Tex feels a lack of interest is what causes him to question his future and how he can adapt into the new world, especially since he's by himself and not with a partner. Regardless, Tex is happy to accept help from his new friends, especially Emily, with whom he has grown close to since she was the first human he's met and communicates to the most.

As a predator, Tex does love meat. Based on his conversation with Emily when he describes his method of hunting a triceratops, he takes pride in his hunting skills, though he has some regret as this meant he had to kill another animal just to eat. Tex is mostly intrigued by human food, specifically the way its made and prepared. Following Emily's suggestion on finding an interest through food, Tex may be taking this into consideration.

## Abilities

As an anthro dinosaur, Tex possesses features that exceed both a human and a regular dinosaur.

* Super Strength - Thanks to his muscles and larger height, Tex has super strength that makes him strong enough to lift even the heaviest of objects. Depending on the size of the force or object he lifts, Tex feels no exhaustion afterwards, but this is mostly because he hasn't lifted anything too heavy for him yet.
* Bite Force - Tex has a strong bite force that allows him to chomp his way through anything. He mostly avoids using this on people as he thinks he would kill people this way.
* Combat Skills - Despite having minimal training, Tex does know basic combat skills, mainly punches and kicking.

## Trivia

* Tex coloration and design were based on the design from the documentary The Real T. Rex with Chris Packham.
* Tex is confirmed to be hetero-flexible.
