Overview
Rex is a domestic cat who Awakened, with magical powers that have yet to be fully realized. He was originally owned by a geriatric Human woman named Martha, who made him miserable as her old age caused her to push his boundaries and not understand his cues. This misery caused him to Awaken while he was being catsitted by Martha's grandson (and member of SAMA), Ash. This resulted in the events that transpired in Cat Burglar. Now, he will go with any of his contacts on their escapades as a travelling companion (NOT PET) so he can see the world. He can telepathically communicate with anyone in his line of sight, letting him be able to "speak" without actually talking.
Personality
Rex is a vain, narcissistic feline. He believes he is superior to anyone and everyone he meets, not unless they do something spectacular to impress him. He's very blunt and unempathetic to strangers, though if they're genuinely emotional that facade will fall. People he grows close to (loyalty 2 or higher) will generally receive a "softer" version of him compared to his rough-and-tumble persona. He will admire any fellow daredevils who take risks for a greater reward (or just to look cool).
Voice
Rex has an abrasive, Bostonian accent when he telepathizes to people. Think of Rocket Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy.
Powers
His magical aptitude has yet to be fully realized. He is telepathic of course, able to communicate clearly to anyone within line-of-sight. He is dual-natured, and thus is consistently able to see and interact with spirits. He can aid people who are summoning spirits or casting spells, but he cannot cast spells of his own accord (yet).
