Vortex

"It's cool. Her beef ain't mine, I'm not paid enough to care."

- Vortex to Loona

Vortex is the bodyguard for the famous pop star Verosika Mayday. He is a supporting character who made his debut alongside the latter and her posse in "Spring Broken".

Appearance
Vortex is a lupine hellhound with a monotone gray color scheme similar to Loona, only darker. He is extremely muscular and has a scar on his left eye with slightly ripped ears.

He also has a black fur pattern resembling a tattoo on his left arm in the shape of a wolf's head.

He wears a ripped leather jacket with the sleeves torn off, effectively making it a vest, with glowing red spikes on what is left of the sleeves. He also wears a black undershirt as well as ripped grey pants.

Human Disguise
His human disguise is largely identical to his hellhound form. He takes on the appearance of a muscular dark skinned 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 except that he now wears a pair of dark shoes.

Personality
As a bodyguard, Vortex is intimidating at first glance, but is otherwise 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.
