Coat color: White Coat

Origin/Residence: Originally from Trottingham.

Occupation: Successful gambler, Casino owner (Casino located in Trottingham.)

Motivation: Money of course also the well-being of his family and friends

Likes: Poker, Specifically Texas Hold’em, His Family, and whatever else captures his fancy.

Dislikes: Losing

Physique: a little short and chubby but don’t let his size fool ya, he is a silver tongued devil if you agitate him.

Cutie Mark: A full house of Aces over Kings.

Relations: Being a high-bit gambler, Tex has had many chances at love but no luck with any of them. Because of his experiences, he has adopted the phrase: Mares are like a never ending game of poker, one mistake and your out the window. So after a little while he gave up in love. Instead, he focused his attentions on the well beings of his friends and family, as they had become his pride and joy. After all, without family there is really nothing left to make a man, as his father always told him. In particular was his nephew and his brother. (Reno and BlackJack)

Tex had learned how to play poker from his father and older brother. He fell in love with the game instantly making him an instant celebrity in his Dad's Casino. He was blessed with a strategic mind in a way that it seemed you were playing with a chess player instead of a poker player. As his reputation grew, lots of ponies came to the casino to challenge him. He won some and lost some. This made his father and brother proud. He began to help his Dad after he came home from school and played with the regulars just for fun and no bets.

It was that one faithful day when one of the more famous pony poker players from Manehattan came to visit their casino. He had heard of the talent that Tex had and was curious enough that he offered to challenge the little colt. There were no bets, but just fun. Everypony in the casino grew quite as the game went on. The stallion had the upper hand winning most of the games. For the first time, Tex hadn't felt this pressured. He gave it his all but lost in the last game. The Stallion had commented that he had incredible talent for a young colt. As he shook the hoof of Tex, he noticed a cutie mark appear on his flank. It was a full house of Aces over Kings. It was what Tex had in his hoof during their last game.

That experience had taught Tex a lot and his father was proud of it. He later inherited the Casino from his father when he decided to retire. His brother Blackjack had decided that he was better at running the place since Blackjack traveled around so much.

Personality: Tex can be stuffy and stuck up when the situation calls for it but he is after all a member of one of Equestria's top gambling families. But when it matters, Tex will be your best friend. He is always willing to help the other members of his family, either physical or monetary. He will not refuse to help them, but he finds it hard for himself to accept their help. After all, he runs a successful casino and can con people out of almost anything. He usually tries to get things for himself anyways, the "GoLucky" way is usually the best way to him.

After all, without family there is really nothing left to make a man, as his father always told him. In particular was his nephew and his brother. (Reno and BlackJack)

Tex was taught the game of poker from his father at a young age, and he fell in love with it immediately. Being the strategic one in the family he tended to fall more to games that involved thinking and predicting, which he excelled at. From that point on he was addicted to gambling, but not always just to win. He also loved to play the 'mind game' that came along with poker. The faces, the mental states of those he played against. He learned them quickly and could take apart an opponent and leave them thinking they had had a great game,

Tex inevitably met his match at the hands of another skilled opponent who was just as slick and smooth as he was. Try as he might he could not figure the other pony out, nor the other pony figure him out. So as a result the poker game lasted well into the night and finally ended when his opponent made a grave mistake. He bet all in on a Pair of aces, against Tex's full house. Two Aces and Three kings, the result of that game was his cutiemark and enough money to open his own casino.

After that game Tex started his business - 'The Hold'em Casino' in Trottingham, the perfect place to hide away his family if they needed to lay low and let the heat relax. As the owner of the Hold'em Casino, he always keeps permanent rooms on reserve for his family members, One for each, near his own.

Personality: Tex can be stuffy and stuck up when the situation calls for it but he is after all a member of one of Equestria's top criminal families. But when it matters, Tex will be your best friend. He is always willing to help the other members of his family, either physical or monetary. He will not refuse to help them, but he finds it hard for himself to accept their help. After all, he runs a successful casino and can con people out of almost anything.

This is quite the interesting character!

I just went over your app and fixed a few things for you, hope you don't mind! Fixed a few run-on sentences, fixed a few spelling mistakes and repeats. Those are in orange - feel free to copy this and put it in your original post.

Fix that up, and I'll stamp it for you asap

Love gambler characters. So hey, this app seems right up my alley. And you're going with all aces when you talk about playing the player and not the game - cause that's totally right.

I have a quick question on this app, though - the RP type is Mane RP, right? ( It doesn't say )

And so as a foal, he was an expert gambler who could beat almost anyone, till he won that one card game, and finally got his cutie mark? AND started up his own business? While no older than the CMC?

There's something about this timeline that doesn't make sense to me... How was he that good, that young?

Or, contrary, how was he that old and didn't have his cutie mark? (not allowed in mane RP )

[DJpinkypie]

His father taught him and he is incredibly smart

well when it comes to gambling and buisness that is

[QuickLime]

Plus it's a GoLucky Family Staple, they all tend to be good at Gambling..

Or.. or losing Gambling XD

[Bramble Rose]

I still find the image of a little foal sitting at a table full of grown ponies - and winning - to be an extremely odd mental image.

Not to mention the image of a little foal running a casino.

[QuickLime]

Kinda obvious he's running the casino when he's older..

[Bramble Rose]

It says directly that he purchased the Casino after winning the money for it in the game that got him his cutie mark.

So yes, he's running it as an adult... because he purchased it as a foal. After winning against a whole lot of expert gamblers in high-stakes games.

[brianblackberry]

Kinda obvious he's running the casino when he's older..

I think it is from the statement that right after the game which earned him his cutie mark, he opened his casino. As ponies get them typically quite young (and always before adulthood), he would be effectively running a casino as a kid. One way to work this out is to have that game and its cash winning begin the journey of him playing for money over the years, building the income needed for his goal of a casino, first opening a betting parlor as an older colt and then as he became a stallion (adult) finally starting his dream of a full on casino which he owns.

[Bramble Rose]

Brian's suggestion is very good.

I would also suggest not making him some sort of bizarre kid-genius super-pony.

Instead of some high-stakes game with ponies four to ten times his age, make the cutie mark story involve, like... playing for deserts in the lunchroom at school.

And when he's an adult, in that formative match, he could be amazed when he gets the aces-over-kings, just like his cutie mark, and puts it all in cause it has to be a sign! And he won!

[DJpinkypie]

thanks for the advice, if kuda does not approve the app i will retype the entire application. and try and stay more along the lines of actual storytelling.

[Xiee]

Here's a suggestion Turns. Why not say in your story that the Casino was owned by his Dad and he later inherited it when his older brother, Blackjack, thought that managing one was not his type of work? That way it works to everypony's advantage.

[Kudalyn]

DJ, you don't have to rewrite the whole thing. Just add and edit a few parts.

I really like the suggestions on how instead of just buying a casino, he went along saving his winnings until he got old enough to own his own Casino. Also gives you more room to fit in a few other adventures or experinces between getting his cutie mark, and opening the casino.

Once you do that I'll read over it again. Looking forward to it

[Xiee]

Lol I see you added some of my suggestions. ^^

[DJpinkypie]

Yea special thank to xiee he really helped me out with this app.

Oh I forgot, please try to edit out that line. It just doesn't sound right.

[MyLittlePonyTales]

Because of his experiences, he has adopted the phrase: Mares are like a never ending game of poker, one mistake and your out the window.
