I was born in the backseat of a Toyota Avalon 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. Weevil demanded a divorce because I was spending all of his money on sake instead of something more useful, like duel monsters.
So I come to you, Duelers Anonymous.
My name is Rex Raptor, and I have a dueling problem.
