Vortex

"Uh, yeah. (chuckles) I guess. But my friends call me Tex."

- Vortex

Vortex is the bodyguard for the infamous popstar Verosika Mayday.

Appearance
Vortex is a lupine Hellhound with a monotone gray color scheme similar to Loona, only darker. They both also share similar eye colors. He is extremely muscular and has a scar on his left eye with slightly tattered ears. He also has a black fur pattern on his left arm, in the shape of a wolf's head. He wears a ripped jacket with glowing red spikes and a black undershirt, as well as ripped grey pants.

Human Form
His human disguise is largely identical to his demon form. He takes on the appearance of a muscular African-American man with a slightly scarred ear in this form. The wolf head on his left arm is now a tattoo. There are no changes to his outfit between the two forms besides him now having shoes.

Personality
Vortex is intimidating at first glance but he can also be very approachable, and friendly with other Hellhounds such as Loona. He's essentially a laid-back guy who knows when to get serious, with a simultaneously laid back and no-nonsense attitude, especially when it comes to his job. He'll happily strike up a conversation with someone he can see means no harm but will not hesitate to knock someone out if they get too close to his boss.
