Rex's Problem

 

 

My name is Rex Raptor, and I have a dueling problem.

I was born in the backseat of a Honda Civic during the summer of 1978.

I got my name because my mother asked my then 3-year old brother what he thought I looked like. He said "Dinosaurus Rex!" Thus I was christened as Rex Raptor Ryuzaki.

I went into a withdrawal because of all the teasing I got in primary school. So when I was twelve years old, I ran away from home and lived with a boy named Weevil Underwood. He immediately accepted me and let me live in his mom's basement for ten years.

Since I had nobody to really talk to, I became terribly lonely. But when I was 20 years old, I came out of the basement and married Weevil himself.

It started when Weevil introduced me to Duel Monsters, which was a year after I met him…

Weevil came into the basement with a deck of cards dangling loosely from his right coat pocket.

“Hehehehe. Today you will learn the Art of Dueling,” he said in his creepy nasal voice.
“Where are our swords?” I replied confusedly.
“We won't need any,” he sneered.

He laid the cards out on the table and answered some questions that I had. He taught me about theme decks, trap cards, magic cards, and everything in between.

I managed to stay awake throughout all of this, which amazed Weevil because back then, nobody really took card games seriously. Except for Seto Kaiba, but he was a rare exception and an even bigger loser than Weevil. Don't tell him that I said that, though.

He then helped me build my own theme deck, but insisted I use my name as a basis, saying that I could show those kids how cool the name “Rex Raptor” really was. Nobody would make fun of me anymore, and that was an offer I couldn't refuse.

I did well for awhile, becoming the second best duelist in Japan. However, my world came crashing down on me when I lost to my own husband. I was so devastated that I took up drinking as a hobby to replace dueling. I eventually had to get a divorce because Weevil was sick and tired of me whittling away what little money we had on sake.

So I come to you, Duelists Anonymous.

My name is Rex Raptor, and I have a dueling problem.
