Gex the Gecko - GEX

Gex the Gecko is the main protagonist of the Gex videogame series. He's addicted to TV, lives in Maui (Hawaii) and is, in the present, a secret agent. He's been often sent to defeat enemies that is lead by the main antagonist, Rez.

He's a millionare through inheritance from his dead great-uncle Charlie from Izod, and bought a mansion. Context wise, did a modeling gig for the Izod clothing company and became the logo for their new line of shirts. Getting a $20 billion estate in total.

In Gex: Enter The Gecko, Gex was recruited by a secret government agency to battle Rez and from then on he was a secret agent. As an agent, Gex built his secret lair, the Gex Cave, underneath his Maui mansion. He also employed Alfred to be his butler. Alfred is a green anthropomorphic turtle that wears a red bowtie on his neck.

There are four members of his family that are known: his father who, is dead. His mother, who after Gex's dad died, fired everybody in NASA and "sold the rockets to some third world country". Rex, Gex's Jurassic ancestor, and Cuz. Gex's overweight leopard gecko cousin. Gex contributes to the games with wise-cracking remarks laced with American TV-culture and pop-culture references, paying homage to Ash Williams.

Gex is a smart alec, wise-cracking gecko. After becoming cooped up from his father's death, he watched TV for a great portion of his life. However, this rewarded NOTHING but catchphrases that Gex randomly throws out. Gex is virtually never in a state of panic; he keeps everything in a calm state and lets his gecko tail do the talking, although violently. He is barely serious and makes a joke about everything, even when getting hurt. Nowadays he spends his days with his friends, surfing, playing the ukulele and throwing poi parties down on the beach with the local lady lizards. His catchphrase is "It's tail time!".

As a gecko, he has all the capacities that a gecko can do. But as an anthropomorphic green gecko with purple stripes, he's capable of climbing walls, but not all of them. He's also able to do a tail-whip to attack and defend himself. Due to his extreme obsession with TV, he (probably) self taught himself Karate. But it's mostly shown as a flying karate kick, as he's capable of jumping very high.
