· Codename: Rex-Raptor or Tyrant Claw
· Civilian Name: Cade Rex (Short for "Cadmus," his place of origin, a name he wears like a brand).
· Age: 8 years old (Chronologically. Physically, he appears to be 12-13 due to Cadmus's accelerated growth protocols).
· Gender: Male
· Origin: Project: Chimera Prime. An ambitious and reckless Cadmus project to create the ultimate living weapon by fusing the pinnacle of predator DNA: the pack-hunting intelligence of the Utahraptor and the unstoppable power of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. You were the first and only stable success.
· The "Cousin": Your genetic data was used as a baseline for a more unstable, militarized project: Project: Indomitus, which created the Indo Rex—a larger, more vicious hybrid incorporating Carnotaurus and other predatory DNA. The Indo Rex is your "cousin," a mirror of what you could have become: a pure, rage-filled weapon without a shred of humanity. It sees you as a flawed prototype and its only true rival.

Appearance
You are a perfect, terrifying fusion of two apex predators. Your form is built for both blinding speed and crushing power.
At a Glance:
You have the lean,agile frame of a raptor, but it's layered with the dense, powerful muscle of a T-Rex. You move with a predator's grace that is both silent and deliberate, but can explode into earth-shaking force. You are a living paradox of speed and strength.
Detailed Features:
· Skin & Scales: Your base skin is a pattern of dark, charcoal grey and muted forest green, perfect for nocturnal and woodland camouflage. A "crown" of larger, jagged osteoderms runs from your forehead, over your scalp, and down your spine, fading into smaller, hexagonal scales across your back, shoulders, and the outside of your limbs. Your underside is covered in tougher, leathery hide.
· Arms & Hands: Your arms are a perfect hybrid. They are longer and more useful than a T-Rex's, ending in three-fingered hands. Each finger is tipped with a thick, obsidian-black, retractable claw. They are strong enough to tear through steel but dexterous enough to hold a video game controller.
· Legs & Feet: Your legs are pillars of raptor-agile, T-Rex-strong muscle, ending in powerful, digitigrade feet. You have three forward-facing toes, each with a heavy claw. The signature "killing claw" on your second toe is a terrifying fusion—thicker and more robust like a T-Rex's, but still sickle-shaped and fully retractable like a raptor's.
· Head & Face: Your jawline is strong and pronounced, hinting at the T-Rex's powerful bite. Your mouth is filled with serrated teeth, a mix of raptor's knife-like teeth and T-Rex's bone-crushing ones. Your most striking feature is your eyes: they are a brilliant, almost luminous jade green with slitted pupils.
· The Glow: When you feel threatened, enraged, or are pushing your abilities to the limit, your jade green eyes glow with a fierce, internal bioluminescent light. This is a side-effect of the hyper-metabolic "adrenaline" state your hybrid body enters. In a dark room, it's two piercing green lanterns. Your scaled crest may also emit a faint, pulsating green light along its edges when your power is at its peak.
· Tail: You have a long, muscular tail for balance, thicker at the base than a pure raptor's, allowing it to be used as a powerful bludgeon.

Powers & Abilities
· Hybrid Physiology: A perfect balance of the Utahraptor's speed, agility, and intelligence with the T-Rex's raw strength and durability. You can outrun a car and then flip it over.
· Primal Vision: Your glowing green eyes provide exceptional telescopic and low-light vision. The "glow" state enhances these senses further, allowing you to see body heat signatures clearly.
· Natural Weaponry: Your arsenal is unmatched:
· Killing Claws: Retractable, sickle-shaped talons on your feet.
· Hand Claws: Sharp, strong, and precise.
· Serrated Teeth: Capable of biting through most materials.
· Powerful Tail: Can be used to smash opponents and objects.
· Adrenaline Surge (The Glow): When your eyes glow, you enter a heightened state. Your speed, strength, and reflexes are amplified, and your regenerative healing factor kicks into overdrive. However, staying in this state for too long is mentally and physically exhausting, and risks triggering a primal rage.
Weaknesses & Personality
· Personality: A constant internal battle. You possess the raptor's cunning and pack-bonding instinct, and the T-Rex's dominant, territorial nature. You are fiercely protective of your "pack" (the Team) but struggle with a deep-seated fear of your own power and the monster you could become. You are deeply curious about the world you were created to destroy.
· Weaknesses:
· The Rage: Under extreme stress, the T-Rex's primal rage can overwhelm your raptor intelligence, making you a danger to everyone around you.
· The "Cousin": The Indo Rex is your perfect counter—bigger, stronger, and designed without your weaknesses. It knows your instincts and how to exploit them.
· Metabolic Burnout: Using the "glow" state for extended periods leaves you weak and vulnerable.
· Identity Crisis: You are a living weapon trying to be a boy. The psychological toll is immense.
The Villain: The Indo Rex "Cousin"
· Codename: Indomitus
· Appearance: A larger, bulkier, and more monstrous version of you. Its scales are a pale, bone-white with jagged black stripes. Its arms are even more vestigial, and its head is larger, with a more pronounced muzzle filled with even more teeth. Its eyes are a cold, dead grey, and they do not glow—it is always in its peak state.
· Powers: All of your abilities, amplified to a terrifying degree, plus enhanced camouflage (like a cuttlefish) and a more vicious, strategic intellect purely focused on hunting and killing.
· Dynamic: It views you with contempt and a twisted sense of familial rivalry. It wants to prove it is the superior creation by destroying you, the "flawed" original. Every encounter is a brutal, personal battle for survival.
